MEDDLING HORNADAY.
A warning against the threatened ^
extinction of the bald or American
eagle, the national bird of the Unit- j
ed States, was issued in New \orkj
recently by the American Museum!
of Natural History, which -stated j
that reports indicated that “more
than one-half and, perhaps, three-,
quarters of the entire species al
ready have been sacrificed.” This j
same society some time ago op-1
posed changes in the Alaska game j
laws which were proposed by bona j
tide Alaskans.
Destruction of the birds is at-'
tributed by the meddling society to \
hunters in Alaska, who are killing
them for a bounty paid by the.
territorial government. Never nu-;
merous, the museum authorities say,
more than 5,600 eagles were slain
in a few months in their favorite
breeding ground, the Alaskan pen-;
insula. Hunters have extended;
their operations into the British,
provinces adjoining Alaska, it is i
said, to swell their gains.
After declaring that the Ameri
can eagle preys chiefly on large
rodents harmful to farm crops, for
the control of which the Govern
ment annually expends large sums,
the society declares that “tales of
the American eagle’s destructive
ness to game or domestic animals
are for the greater part pure fic
tion.” The bird, it says, is migra
tory, and therefore no state or ter
ritory can claim the right to de
stroy it, that right being vested in
the Federal Government.
Recalling the fact that the wild
pigeon, formerly found in incredible
numbers in certain parts of the
United States, had been “utterly
wiped out by unrestricted shooting
and the destruction of its nests,”
the museum says that only the
prompt passage of a Federal law
will save the American eagle from
the same fate.
A JUST COMPLAINT.
The United States Government
has been asked through diplomatic
channels immediately to withdraw
from the Panama province of Chiri
qui a detachment of twenty men of
the 33d infantry, under the com
mand of Major Herbert E. Pace.
The troops have been stationed
there owing to the litigations Am
erican land owners have pending in
the provincial courts. Residents of
the province are very -much dis
turbed by their presence.
Justice Alfaro, government sec
retary, commenting on the affair to
a correspondent of The Associated
Press, is quoted as saying:
“Panama is more friendly to the
United States than any other re
public south of the Rio Grande, and
we cannot understand Why armed
occupation is necessary here when
the United States administration
does not find it necessary to inter
vene in Mexico, where women are
being violated and men are being
murdered and mutilated every day."
NOME CITY ELECTION
CLOSEST IN HISTORY
The recent city election at Nome
developed into one of t'h.e hottest
and closest three-cornered races for
the mayoralty in the history of Alas-j
kan politics. The final count show
ed only one vote separating the
three candidates from each other,
and even now the election probably
will be thrown into the courts.
As announced by the judges, the
vote stood as follows: Charles Rice
109, Fred Harrison 103, VV. M. Ter-,
son 107.
One of the men connected with :
the local U. S. radio station voted j
after being challenged, and the
judges refused to count his vote.
Harrison may institute mandamus:
proceedings to cotest the election
of Rice, as the two candidates would
be tied if the vote is allowed.
E. Raelson, W. Griffith and A. Lo
men were elected to the council.

OLDTIMERS TO START j
FOX FARM ON COAST \
Three pioneer residents of the •
Cook inlet country—Frank Church
ill, George Clyde, and John Bartell, ■
belter known as “Red Jack”—pur- ■
pose to establish a big fox-raising
farm near the village of Knik, at
the head of Cook inlet. Land for
the purpose has already been clear
ed. Mr. Churchill, who spent the
winter in California, returned North
recently. “Red Jack," one of the
characters of the Northland, was a
ihipmate with Captain Jack Mc
Lean, made famous in Jack Lon
don's story, “The Sea Wolf."
BUTCHERS OF TORONTO
MAKING NEW DEMANDS
TORONTO, Out.—The organized
DUtchers of thus city have submit
led to their employers a demand
!hat tea be served to them at *
i. m. daily, and that they be al
lowed ten minutes of company time
in which to drink it. They also ask
lor ten minutes in the morning to
Ion their butcher clothes and ten
more at night to dress for the
street. These demands are made
part of a proposed renewal of the
working agreement drawn up by the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen. Other requests
are for a 44-hour week and a wage
increase averaging 50 percent.
Packing plant managers declare
these terms cannot be granted.

NORTHERN PROMOTER
SAYS COAL TOO HIGH
In a communication addressed tc
the Seattle Alaska Dispatch, Col. B
F. Millard, well-known Alaska pro
moter, expresses the belief thai
Alaska-mined coal is too costly tc
be of material benefit to the Terri
tory. He says:
“A Juneau dispatch published ir
the Seattle Times stated that coa
from the Government mines in th<
Chickaloon fields was selling on the
dock, f. o. b., at Seward, for $9.5*
per ton, and in Juneau for $20 pel
ton. Years ago, I took the grounc
that the opening of the- coal field;
of Alaska would not aid Alaskans
to any great extent, for the price,
would be the same as that charged
for Outside coal. I bought coal for
the Cliff mine for four years, using
about 270 tons per month, and paid
$9 per ton on the dock at the
mine. It's a grand and glorious
thing for Alaskans to have the coal
mines opened up in Alaska and
then pay more for the product than
one can secure it for in Seattle and '
ship it to Alaska. This government
control and ownership is a fine
proposition on paper, or in the halls j
of socialism, but it is not much good j
for the poor cuss who is trying to
J wring something out of the rocks of
Alaska."

AIRPLANE TRIP TO
SOUTH POLE DIFFICULT,
SAYS AUSTRALIAN
MELBOURNE, Australia.—An air
plane will be of little service in at
Itempting to reach the South Pole,
! in the opinion of Dr. Griffith Tay
■ lor, of the Australian meteorological
bureau, who was formerly an Ant
arctic explorer. Dr. Taylor said
he believed that the expedition to
the South Pole to be conducted dur
ing the coming summer by Dr. J.
L. Cope would find it difficult to
reach the South Pole by the air
route. He said:
“Hurricanes blow for weeks in
the Antarctic and can spring up in
half an hour from nothing to 60
miles an hour. I do not think it
j possible that an airplane can rise
above a blizzard. It cannot stay
up indefinitely and it cannot de
scend.”
Dr. Taylor is skeptical as to the
mineral wealth of the Antarctic, for
which Dr. Cope’s expedition is spe
cially to explore. Speaking from
his own experience, he does not
think there is anything of economic
j value on the coast of the Antarctic

WOMAN’S STATEMENT
WILL HELP NENANA
"I hated cooking because whatever
I ate gave me sour stomach and a
bloated feeling. I drank hot water
and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing
helped until I tried simple buck-,
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka.” Because it flushes
the ENTIRE bowel tract completely
Adler-i-ka relieves ANY CASE sour
stomach, gas or constipation and
prevents appendicitis. The INSTANT
action is surprising. A. D. Thomp
