CARNEGIE AND THE TARIFF.
The testimony of Andrew Carne
gie should throw a flood of light on
the much vexed tariff question. To
hoar Carnegie declaring that the
steel industry does not need protec
tion is a >:ood deal like' having John
L> tell us he does not believe in com
binations of trade nor in railroad re
: at---) Carnegie, more than any othe
i.ian in America, perhaps, has profit
ed from the tariff. It is uot con
ceivable that he has not iu the past
personally advocated a system which
has beeu so largely to his profit but
whether he did or not Mr. Carnegie
i> iu an altogether different class
than is the head of the great octo
pus Me has taken advantage of a
system that was inaugurated and ap
proved by the people. He has not
broken the law iu accumulating his
vast wealth. But if the system is
wrong, or has outgrown its need or
usefulness no man better than he
leuows It aud he will be serving a
distinguished service by telling the
country that "time is up"for the
tariff
tt'ilmot J. Hall, president of the

pany writes The Alaskan all the
v..iy from the office of the company
ut Cincinnati, a pleasant letter of ap
preciation of certain articles appear
ing in this newspaper auent the do

district where is the company's min
ing property. It is The Alaskan's
peculiar business to record these
things ? the work of development in
the north aud this section of the
north particularly ? but iu talking
about the progress of Atlin, so ap
parent, business and pleasure are
combined. So, there.
According to a recent dispatch an
appropriation by congress will be
recommended by Gen. Allen, chief ot
the signal corps, that he may be in
readiness to purchase any improved
wireless telephone device that may
be offered during the next year. The
wireless telephone is now regarded
as one of the most important de
velopments for the advancement of
the work of the signal corps. Geu
??ral Allen seems to be alive.

Referring to certain people arriving

Repairs to the big tramp steamship

While it la impossible to figure on
the exact output of the Tanana dis
trict for the leason of 1908 at this
date. It was learned today that
there has been shipped from Fair
banks to Seattle, through regular
transportation channels, up to the
time of the departure of the Sch
watka, the last boat carrying gold In
the malls, a sum of $7,876,000. This
does not mean that the sum of $7.
S75.000 reprsents the entire output of
the district this year, up to this time.
A great deal of gold has undoubtedly
been carried out by individuals; some
little has been used by Jewelers and
others; a great deal Is still In the
hands of th? banks and the miners.?
