According to a Tacoma paper a fox farmer at Dyea, Alaska,
who started with one pair of animals eighteen months ago could
exchange his present holdings for $75,000 in ready -John Davis.
All of which goes to show that there is no closed season for liars.

They probably realize that this Will be the chance for an in
definite number of years to see an exposition costing $50,000,000.

The sinking of the Iberian by a German submarine, vyith
one Americai} life snuffed out, adds something to the total of
American anger at the German procedure. However, the Iber
ian was parrying war supplies and she was in the war zone.
Let’s choke dowp our cholor and ask what we would do under
sirailiar circumstances.—Tacoma News.
With due respect for the alleged armed disputants over
Juneau mining properties, it will bp well fop all concerned if
there is no actual fighting. There are courts in Alaska organ
ized to settle disputes between people, and they have ample
power to enforce injunctions or other court orders. No man’s
property or rights in Alaska can be jeopardized by privately
expended force.—Juneau Empire.
Valdez has the vicissitudes of most pioneer mining towns.
It began with a fever of activity and with confidence in becom
ing a futrue metropolis. When the dead hand’ of Pinchotism
fell on Alaska it settled down to years of weary waiting, doubt
less with many buildings empty and abandoned. Now fire
comes and devours many of the occupied buildings, together
with some which may have merely cumbered the ground.—
Portland Oregonian.
When it comes to handling a “real-este proposition” apply
to the Department of the Interior. Ninety days ago the town
of Anchorage, Alaska, was merely public land at the south
western terminus of the new Government railroad. Now it has
a population of over 2500, and nearly all branches of business
are represented. On July 15 an auction sale of lots was held by
the Alaskan Engineering Commission, and Chairman Edes tele
graphed Secretary Lane the next day as follows: “Just re
turned from Anchorage. Sale in every way a success and
everyone satisfied. About four hundred and fifty lots sold for
one hundred thirty-three thoustpid dollars.” Nearly $300 a
lot was thus realized. Most of the lots were 60x140 ft., and
streets, parkings and playgrounds were provided. Watch
Alaska grow!—Engineering and Mining Journal.
The present city council has shown childish incompetence.
The infantile conceptions of that body as to the requirements
of the city have made it necessary for the taxpayers, practically,
to take the city government out its hand. It seems to be clear
that the estimates as to expenditures of he coming year were
founded on some most extraordinary conceptions. Of course,
it is evident that the taxes on the present basis cannot be col
lected. It wTas more than hinted at the meeting last night that
some of the taxpayers will refuse to pay unless compelled by the
courts to dp so, and tho courts certainly will not do any §pch
thing. It will be regrettable if the citizens must have recourse
to the law. It is too bad and it is particularly regrettable that
the names of the council will be besmirched as it contains some
of the finest fellows. The council is not, remember this, made
up entirely of incompentents or squabblers.—Seward Gateway.
The Mariposa has charted another “peril to navigation” in
the ocean highway to Alaska. Fortunately she did not strike
it hard enough to sink. Along the coast of Alaska lie the
“bones” of many merchant craft which have charted rocks and'
reefs. It Is only this year that the government placed a drag
survey at work in Southeastern Alaskan waters.
The loss in property values, to say nothing of the loss of
life, by reason of the neglect of congress to provide proper
aid's to navigation in Alaska, would have charted every rock on
the coast and made navigation absolutely safe. However, bet
ter late than never. With the work of the drag survey, the
building of a lighthouse at Cape St. Elias, and the placing of
buoys and other aids at the most dangerous points, the govern
ment is making a fairly good start.
It is to be hope dtliat at the coming session of congress
another substantial appropriation will be made for carrying
on the work in Alaska. This is all the more necessary that the
shipping of Alaska is rapidly increasing by reason of the gov
ernment railway operations and the opening of mining and
other industries on a large scale, not to mention the growing
tourist trade to the Northland.—Juneau Dispatch.
