SCIENCE AND ART AGAIN FAILS.
Once more the civilized and scien
tific world is thrown into gloom and
mourning over the loss of fifteen
hundred souls who have been hurled
Into eternity.
The loss of the S-eamsh:p Ti
tanic by its impact with a gigantic
iceberg while rushing at a madden
ing rate from one continent to an
other, is but another example of our
puniness in our endeavors to outdo
the works of the Creator.
This giant ship, equipped with all
the scientific safeguards to navi-4
Uon. the climax of the shipwright's
art, was as a straw when hurled j
against the cold mass of nature.
We read of this huge lev iathan in ;
the late journals as being so con
structed. that wore it literally cut in
two. either half would float? that it
was equipped with automatic bulk
heads and safety doors ? with appli
ances for telling of the nearness of
ice or other immovable objects ? w ;h
search lights that would penetrate
the darkness for thousand of feet
ahead ? and stearing gear that was
absolutely perfect, and still on her
snaiden voyage, she met with disaster
She was in a class by herself, that
of size and beauty, equipment and
comfort ? she was trying to Ve in a
rla.v by herself as to record for
spanning the distance between the
old ami the new world. She l^t
both.
What is the few hours which
might have been gained had she
broken the world's record, compared
to the K?ss of the fifteen hundred
lives.
Of what good is all the scientific
devices for the safety of travel and
the prevention of disaster if their
warnings are disregarded, or they
fail to do 'heir duty. Much better
would it be if we were to revert to
the old easy-going days of the sai'
and the wagon, than to socriffc-e
each year upon the altar of stier.ee
the lives of innocent human beings
WHITE POPULATION GAINS.
0|ponen.s of self-government fori
Alaska have used the 1910 ce?s<ts re
turns from the t? rritory as an argu
ment to sustain their contention that
the time has not yet arrived for the
treation of a territ-wrial legislature.
They have said that the population
of Alaska showed practii-ally no in
crease between l.r'"0 and 1M0, and
have pointed to the census bulle'in
shoeing Alaska's population for 1910
to be but a few hundred gr.-a'er than
It was in 1900. lAter bulletins put
the matter in a new light, and show
that while the increase in the total
population of Alaska, was but one an 1
two-tenths p*r cent, the increase in
the white , opulation was about twen-i
I
ty per cent ? to be exact, nineteen at J
eighty thre-> one-hundredths per cent, j
This was about the average rate of]
increase throughout the I'nited State ,
The mistake is the result of making!
calculations on the total of the com
bined Indian and white population.
While the number of white people
in the territory increased from thirty
thousand, five hundred and seven to
thirty -six 'housand, five hundred and
fifty -six. a gain of six thousand, forty,
nine, the Indian population showed a
decrease of more thar. five thousand.
This increase in Alaska's popula
tion was unnaturally small, to be
sure. but. when it is considered that
for nearly half of the decade much
o* the mineral and other lands has
been withheld from the use of the
people and that diiatorkiess ard in
competency have characterized the
attitude of the administration of the
land and other laws that vitally con
tern the first steps in development,
the showing of progress made is a
sufficient a aarant,c-e that the growth
of the territory will be continued. In
corroboration of this conclusion the
annual reports of the collector of cus
toms show that there has been a
substantial gain in the population dur.
iug the two years that have elapsed
a-iutce the xv 10 census was taken. Tne
collector's report for lyil shows tuat

The making of the match h;is long
been a lar^e industry in the I'nlied
oUites. and particularly m Ohio. Also
'here have been enormous importa
tions from European countries, such
?is Austria, Sweden and Norway. And
iiow we have the interesting news
Uiat Norwegian capital to the extent
of millions of dollars, if necessary,
;s coming to the I'nited Slates in
competition in the manufacture of
matches with the very latest inven
tions iu thj way of labor-saving ma
chinery. One of the many marvels of
i-he age is a machine used in the
production of the match. A log of
wood and a roll of paper are started
through it and presently emerge in
finished matches, boxed and labeled.
With this company will come to its
cr.-nt plant quite a little army of

The word Seattle is mighty popu
lar up in Alaska." said Dr. Fallows, a
mining man from Valdez, at the Sa
voy yesterday. "We realize that Se
at tleitcs are interested in us, and
low heartily they wish us home rule.
Of course, occasionally you hear a
Kicker, who declares that Seattle is
trying to run Alaskan affairs, but
the feeling in general is that of
friendliness " ? r -I

I Through the inability of the treas
ury department to secure bills w i h n
'he appropriation allowed for the ere j
tion of a governor's mansion and oth
er public buildings at Juneau, Alaska, j
'it is feared that the work on these
structures tan not be undertaken this
I season. Itids have twice been call< d
j for. once last summer and again this
j year. The later bids have just been ;
j opened by the department, and, like
those of last August, are found to t
'be so much in excess of the
I appropriation made by congress f r !
"l construction and furnishing that th y
cannot be further considered. It will j
I be necessary either to get an .-vl . i
tional appropriation or else to draw,
new plans calling for a smaller < \"- j
penditure, after which new bids will
have to be called for. It is probable ,
that no construction can be tin '? rtn\
en in Juneau this year.
