lie has accomplished much for the
Northland

"""honipson said "Uecanse of th?> '
various industries in Alaska, it
myitis to me that the country could j
be better governed l>y having a
central body composed of men rep
resenting the various sections and
interests who could, because of their j
local knowledge, cast a policy which
would be in the interest of all."
Or Thompson admitted that in
his opinion there was a vast differ- i
ence in the interests of Alaska and
Yukon, as in Alaska there was the
interests incident to seaports and j
shipping, in addition to mining, fish
ing and the agricultural possibilities
while in the Yukon, at the present I
time, the placer gold was the main i
i?sue
In conclusion. Or Thompson said I
that Alaska had the best wishes of I
all the Yukon for the passage of
the measure now pending before the
I". S. Congress, as the development
of Alaska meant the progress of Yu
kon. and the advancement of Alaska
meant the advancement of Y'ukon.

San Francisco, May 14 ? A remark
able cane of arreted development
came to liRht here yesterday when
the Insanity committee discovered a
young man 21 and a girl 17 year*
old. who had been imprisoned with
their erased mother In their home
since their birth. The prisoners
never had been allowed to peep out
of the dark little house, and their
minds were as blank as if they had
been reared in a tomb. *
The two victims of their mother's
strange vagaries are James Cram
mey and his sister Mabel. Their
father died soon after the birth of
the girl and the shock affected the
mother s mind The children were
kept in a darkened room and the
neighbors believed they had been
sent away
j When officers of the Insanity
Commission entered the house, the
two prisoners cowered in fear and
made inarticulate sounds The son
was sent to the home for the feeble
minded and the girl cared for by a
charitable organisation
