WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BET
I V legate James Wtckershani win; j
on record during the hearing before
Ute Senatorial Committee, as having
the folio* ing amendments to
wb* Wilson and Mondell bills as in
'j-oduced That all revenue* to be
derived from leasing the Alaska Coal
be ;s.,j ft>r the development
of Vlaska, in whole."
i fi ?i the ;.<?i of surli a scheme
*ti> not original with Secretary Fteher
he staled in his speech at Klks
>.iil S u inlay n^lit is thus shown.
The secretary, we all agree is an
I lent talker. but the opinions of
ttte art not cfennged from those |
*hi?-h existed before he made his I
sp?>?>*ii . (hat he had txuw with hisj
mind uade up, and that his report
was pre;*ared before he ever Wt Se
attle. It is almost positively proven
that this is a fact, for in a speech I
d? Uvered in Seattle on Aug. 16 the I
secretary referred as follows to the
> laim that the government is locking
up the resources of Alaska and said
that if that claim were correct be
would sugge?t and w uitied to see the
box o(>ened. He further declared that
ii?- proposed to sit down and see if
he couldn't find Ute key to open up j
for u-v the contents of the box im
mediately.
VdmitUng that at the next regular I
session of Congress. which convenes
m DacMnber, there will undoubtedly
be a strong demand for legislation |
*.ir s i!;e o;>- ::g of Vlasfa^
Mr. Ftsfcer says it is up h> him toj
gi*e ftuts and impressions and matur I
h*? own ideas on the Alaska fuel I
problem and this he proposes to dOv
Vs a talker, there is no doubt In
Uie minds of those who heard him.
but thai he is by far the must fluent
speaker we have ever beard in Skag
way, but when all is said, he has
promised nothing, and while berating
:he man who answered his question o
What are we going to do with the
i\ki1 Lauds* by replying "Open them,
he offered n*> solution to the prob
lem. nor did he even suggest a reme
dy for the outrage from which Alaska
and the entire Western Coast of the
Pbited States is suffering.
He apokigJs** for not gving farther
into the matter which he admits is j
going to be one of the most import
ant questions that is to come before |
She next session of congress by stat
ing that he is a busy man. and that
he has to attend many conventions,
t. Re* lama: . tae IMblic Parks,
tht Mining Congress, and such kke.
He asked the people to present
U?e r solution of the problem to Con
g?>?vs; and seems ignorant of the
ta. t that for the last sevi\ral years,
,Vki>kaiu. have been offering their
opinions to Congress through their
delegate, but nothing has come of IL
On the question of Home Rule, he
?u.s as silent the Spiiyox, still hi
he has been in Alaska, and has seen
all that he will see of Alaska, for he
has taken to the open sea and the
next land he sights will be Washing
ton.
Will Alaska gain anything from the |
Honorable Secretary's visit?
This paper must either come j
through with one hundred good hard
Alaskan dollars, or some tittle word
of explanation must be made. As the
explanation will be more in keeping
with our feelings this morning, we
wish to otate that it was not the in
tention of buying $1 1# worth o t oil
for the wheels, as mentioned in the ]
article referring to the generosity of |
John Kosene. but ten dollars.

From Alaska is a Curio, a Souvenir
And ai\ Ornament
The interest shown by the tourist
in the various souvenirs is greater in
regard to the >\waU Ivory than any
other specimen of curios which are
offered for sale by the numerous
stores in the town of Alaska.
Aside from its beauty as an orna |
meut, surrounded as it is with the
gold nuggets, natural in shape and
color, the interest seems to be en
hanced by the fact that the Ivory is i
thousands upon thousands of years !
old.
There are three kinds of ivory found
in Alaska? Mammoth, Mastodon and
Walrus.
The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre
historic animals, (according to our
scientists) lived a hundred thousand
years ago. and today Is found in the
ground by the natives, on the shores
of the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea and
the North Pacific Ocean, and occas
ionally by miners in shafts and drifts.
The foesiliied coloring is caused by
minerals contained in the earth, where
it had laid buried for thousands of j
years.
H. D. Kirmse has the finest collec
tion of Old Fossil Ivory Jewelry in
the entire district, and . it is well
worth one's time to inspect the beau
tiful stock now on display in this pop
ular Jewelry emporium.
