The Victoria Tlmei in its i?sae of
September 30th says:
"President Chas. M. Hays, frYankW.
Morse, J. H. Bacon and others of the
G. T. R. party returned this morning
from Prince Rupert. Mr. Hays is par
ticularly en'huUastic and figures that
a great trade will be worked up in the
north.
"He has made friends with John
Houston, the first northern edition of
whose paper has just been is8ued.,r
Mr. Houston is the newspaper editor
at Prince Rupert an upstart General
Manager of the Grand Trunk sought
to have put out of business.
BEATIN6 OF CHILDREN
A jfuuntf boy, beaten and driven out
into the night, which he spent shiver
ing under a pile of lumber rather than
orave the wrath of his Inhuman father
by returning to the shelter that he
called "home," is truly an object of
pity. One cannot help wondering
where the mother was when a case of
this kind is reported, and, if present,
what she was doing while the beaticg
of the boy was going on. The mater
nal instinct should rise to meet an emer
gency of this kind with any weapon
that comei hardy, from a rolling-pin or
iron poker to the broomatick. Force Is
the only argument that csn be used
successfully against a bully or that will
put to rout a coward who uses his
strength biuially against a child. The
time to use it is when the emergency
occur). Blood-letting has fallen ioto
disuse in therapeutics, hut there is no
doubt of the efficacy of nosebleeding
when brought on to bring a bully to a
realizing sense of the fact that there
are some things that he cannot do, even
in his own house, with impunity,
and this should have been done in the
ca?e of the father reported in today's
dispatcher from Portland.
ALASKA COAL
The San Francisco Call announces that
a movement Is oo foot in that city to
recover some of the Alaska trade, l06t
largely through the disaster of 1906.
The evident reason for the revival of
interest In this matter is the appreci
able value of Alaska coal it ia bound
one day to produce.
It ia somewhat a matter of doubt it
the Angel Gabriel can awaken Port
land to the importance of Alaska trade;
but with ail douots in mind, it is well
to take note in passing, that the Alaska
c al supply will in the course of time
exceed in value the gold output of that
territory.
The present mining laws that pertain
to operations in Alaska, do not permit
of extensive business organization for
the production of coal: but there is
prospect that these laws will be chang
ed, aa the Secretary of the Interior bas
the matter under advisement, and is
favorable to an amendment more ad
vantageous to the larger industry.
? Taking the consensus of
all reports oo the Alaska coal fields,
and it is established
that they are the most extensive
on the Pacific Co?st; that the> *re lo
cated prac ically on tide water; that
the coal is of excellent commercial
quality, and under proper adjustments
should be laid down in the United
States at a great deal lower price than
is now pi id for that class of fuel.
It is to be assumed, as a matter of
course, when this Alaska supply is fin
ally available, there will be strong and
probably successful efforts to have it
reach the market under trust super
vision?. But whether this is true or
not the earlier development of these
Alaska fields will have beneficial effect
oo the general fuel situation; and, at
all events, it offers Mdetl advantage to
this olty for the consideration of Ala*
ka trade If this city ever reaches the
point where tha>' matter will be serious
ly considered as a business propo
sition.? Portland Telegram.
Announcement of an alarming dis
covery comes from Chicago, where in
vestlgafcton has disclosed ihit practical
ly every kind of food oonstitaed conuins
alcohol, and that an amazing oQinber of
so-called "soft" drinks contain deadly
poison io greater quantity than is found
Id ordinary alcoholic beverages. This
[discovery offers a ray of bope for i) e
Fairbanks people. All that is neces
sary to re-establish the Indianian in
the graces of the teetotalers is for him
to prove by scientific demonstrate s
that there was less poison in the fa
mous cocktail than lurked In the bin
termilk. This done, it is n matter of no
particular consequence who order, d
the cocktails.
MU is an til wind that blows," etc., Is
certainly an applicable ''saw" In the
foroed trip of the Burns'de to Valdez
with Governor Hogxatt No sooner had
the big cablcsblp arrived there than
there was a b eak in th s cab'ti some
where down the Sound which was
promptly connected by the Burnslde
while the governor was attending to
his duties in Valdez. The whole
oountrjr is fortunate that the break
was not one of longer duration, and
that by mere chance the Burnslde was
there.? Juneau Record.
Thus, in an accidental way, wta
Governor Hoggatt the performer of a
service for Alaska. That it was in an
accidental manner Governor Hoggatt
did something for the relief of Alas
kans, is. of course appreciated, as in
no way other than by an acoident
would Governor Hoggatt think of doing
Alaskans a good turn.
The last Pott-Intelligencer contains
an excellent cartoon of Alaska condi
tions. The picture portrays a little man
with his bands tied behind his back
with a cord labeled "Dostrlct Govern
ment." Before him, in an attitude of
contemplated robbery, looms the pro
file of a burly man bearing the inscrip
tion "Foreign Corporations." The lit
tle man. with hands tied, is kicking at
the big robber, and undernerth the pic
ture 19 the Inscription "All I Can Do Is
Kick." The cartoon is so true to life
that it Is pathetic.
1 he Alaskan ia very much pleased
with the selection of I. Sowerby an
agent for the Alaska Steamship com
pany at Juneau. While Mr. Sowerby
waa a resident of Haines he was a fre
quent visitor to this city and he can
count his friend* equal to the number
of people who know him. A compe
tent and obliging business man ami
good business getter, The Alaskan
knows beforehand that there will be no
friction between Mr. Sowerby as aj^eai
at Juneau and the businessmen of that
city.
H. D. Reynolds wires to Valdez that
he is having good success io bis efToi is
to sell stock of the Alaska Home Kail
road in Seattle. That puts Reynolds
in aclaas by himself as a promoter.
He is the only man who ever cork
screwed any Seattle money for invest
ment io Alaska.? Seward Gateway.
There was very little of the money
he corkscrewed from the Seattle people
in the Reynolds Bank the day before
yesterday.
