SHOUT COURSES IX FORESTRY
AND MIXING AB&UT TO REGIX
Seattle, Juu. 20—Students in min
iu«r and forestry nt tli© University
o? Washington gave "mixers" and
"smokers" in honor of those who
cam? to the campus Monday Januaiy)
4, to enroll in the annual short
courses la those two sciences. There
beit.g no perequislte work in eith
er ecu re b, It is expected by the dea. 3
■J' the two colleges that a goodly
number of men will come from log
ging camp and mill, forest reserve
and mining camp to add to their
sicre of knowledge.
The short forestry course has, in
the past, attmooted men from near
ly every state in the union and
from British Columbia, in
cluding members of the Canadian
forest service and the United States
rangers, to take the advanc
ed work, whilo many experienced
woodsmen have sought this chance
to prepare for civil service exam
inations leading to higher positions.
Likewise minere of long experi
<-.ice in Alaska, California and even
.UeiJco have found even a brief
training at the university immense*
I >■ to their advantage.
Some foar is felt lest the effects
o* tie war on Cauada and the gen
eral depression will, however, pre
vent many from enrolling as they
had planned.
The studies that wili be included
i.i the short milling course are:
•Mining, milling, fire assaying, metal
lurgy, chemistry, mineralogy, geolo
gy, mining law, civil engineering,
surveying, hydraulic mining, forgo
work, mine timber framing and coal
mii.nig and rescue work. The last
named course will be given in the
I'uited States mine rcseuo station,
L-ituated on the campus.
The special courscs in tho col
li ge of forestry are divided into
' v.'o groups, one for rangers and one
' .t lumbermen. Tne raugeii' group
includes: Silverculture, forest meas
urements, forest surveying, geology,
.-.laracteriitics of trees, geology,
roristration, forest botany, forest
li'.v, first aid, diseases of tree and
i.agliih composition. The lumber
men's group includes: Forest meas
urements, forest surveying, logging,
first aid, characteristic-- of trees,

Tin* Northern Light & Power Co.
acquired * coal measure on Coal |

an immense plant to supply light
and power to the mining operators
on tlie creeks near Dawson, but for
some reason the plans of the com
pany in eo far as they related to
supplying its products to other cor
ooraUous failed to materialize and
the investment has been a losing j
one since it inception. Mr. Corbett J
was sent out from London to see if i
h» could not put the property on a I
oaying basis and having finished j
investigations is now on his way
back to report.

taker, manager of the company, un-j
dor whose efficient supervision the ,

THINKS DUNCAN NEEDS FIXING
Old Father Duncan has recently
visited Juneau to air his troubles
to the officials and people of the
capital city. As an autocrat among
a semi-savage people he has grown
arrogant, and seeks to protect his
wea'tb and hang on to his gains to
the bitter end In spite of the needs
of his "children" as he calls them.
Father Duncan has done a groat
work among the Indians --u marvel
ous work— but with it all he has
found time to pile uj) a neat little
fortune of his own, and when pro
fane hands are laid on his posses
s.ons he talks of bloodshed. He
has been granted favors and conces
sions by the United States, al
though an alien, and American pros
pectors who had located claims on
Annette island before he ever saw
;t have been driven off and robbed
of their rights. Father Duncan has
done what every other missionary
in the North would be glad to do.
He has set up a kingdom of his own
with himself upon the throne. He
has ruled his people with an iron
hand, and he has been able to do
it because they were ignorant sav
ages. Now that they have learned
tha* they are wards of a nation
where the people are free, they 're
bel against the rule of old man Dun
can. He has a religion which he ad
mits is of no particular bi and, but,
:ts most modern apostles, he has
fashioned it to fit his own peculiar
needs. Aud as old age comes on
and he realizes that he can no
longer reign, he is looking for a
young man to uike his place. He is
a grand old man, but his ideas
of government do not fit well In
Uncle Sam's domain, and he needs
fixing.—Douglas Island News.
HOW TO DETECT NOISE
It sometimes happens that an ab
normal noise is heard from the
mechanism of a motor car or other!
machine and tiiat it is difficult j
to find just what part of it is res
ponsible. In such cases many skill- |
fcd mechanics proceed as follows,
and there is no better way: They
take a Hat piece of metal, a flat |
file for example, and place one end
of it between their teeth; the other
end they apply to the part of the
machine that may be suspected
while it is in motion. By stopping
the oars the abnormal sound can
be distinguished from other noises,
and with a little experience the
exact point, from which it comes cau
be discovered.
NOTICE
There will be a regular meeting
tonight of Skagway Aerie No. 25,
Fraternal Order of Eagles.
RICHARDSON URGES
MONEY FOR ROADS
Further development of Alaska's
system of roads and trails cannot
bo expected unless congress increas
es the allotment of funds, declares
Col. Wm. P. Richardson, president
or the Alaska board of road commis
sioners in his annual report
presented to the war department.
The funds alioted, he says, are
now entirely consumed in repairing
and maintaining the existing roads.
This, according to Colonel Richard
son, will become practically a fix
ed condition from year to year,
with the amount of mileage now re
quired to be maintained, and al
though additional new projects, all
more or less meritorious, are being
presented to the board every year,
with petitions for aid, it is impos
sible for the board to respond, ex
cept to a very limited degree.
Colonel Richardson has submit
ted a plan for tne extension of the
roads covering a period of three
years, with an estimate of $750,000
for the first year and it 13 earnestly
hoped that this plan may receive
fiivorable action before the open
ing of next season's work.
While disclaiming any intention of
opposing the projected railway con
struction iu Alaska, Colonel Rich
ardson repeats the former statement
of the board that no rapid or
general development in Alaska will
follow the construction of trunk
lines of railroads to the Interior
unless preceded or accompanied by
the construction of * any wagoa
roads and trails as fev .era.
Regarding the bill now before
congress to create a general develop
ment board for Alaska to open its
resources. Colonel Richardson de
clares that "it is no egotism to say
that no other agency of the govern
ment is more competent or better
equipped for such tasks than the
army," and he points to the exten
sive nubile works accomplished Ln A1
aska in connection with the cable
an ' telegraph systems and the roads
and trails cut through the wilder
ness to support this statement.
C OAL LAN!) CLAIMANTS
