The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad is said by one of its purchasing agents to use as high as 75.000.000 feet of lumber annually for bridge construction.

The pnrisbioners of an Oaio clergy man are tryirg to reduce his salary and force him to resign because he will not give up smoking. Tbey say that be smokes too much, while his sermons do not f moke at ail, being "not of the Jooa than Edward a style, for which they long. They do cot complain because his cigais are strong or rank, but they think that tven the mildest cigar is a vice, and especially when smoked by too mild tbeologiaB. Albert T. Bellows, of New York City, was playicg cards with a friend last Sunday. He drew a hand in the last deal that was such a good one that be began first to smile and then to laugh over ins good luefc. so capacious was his mirth, bowever, that he dislccated his jaw, and at ambulance bad to be sent for to cenvey him to a hospital, where it took the doctors an hour. to get his jaw back to where it belonged. His adver sary in the game of cards, William F. Bar ry, thus got bis revenge. This case should be a warning to that c!ass or players, who, whenever they get a good hand, "tantalize, irritate, dilacerate and excor iate" to nse an expression of Dr. Tal mage, the fellow wto knows tbe weak ness of his band, by their smirks and smiles and maddening mirth. The 4ovrrnmeat of Alaska Chicago Intcr-Occan. Governor Knapp, of Alaska, has made a very full report relative to that terri tory for the fiscal year of 1S91, and pre sents a variety of interesting facts. He devotes considerable space to the ceo graphy and typocraphy of tbe country, including its stresm9. spr'ngs, volcanoes, etc. He says tbe interior of the territory exhiDits extremes of beat and cold, with long winters and short summers, and has a dry atmosphere throughout all sea sins. Tbe const line from Dixon en trance to the extreme west of the Alaskan peninsala, has a mild and equitable and moist climate. The higher latitudes are severe. These climatic conditions nat urally determine the location of the pop ulation chiefly. Uoverrjor Knapp has undertaken to organize an Indian police, but at the time of his report had only one corps, consisting or 14 privates and one officer, the difficulty being to find men whose efficiency and trustworthiness would warrant the issue of commissions, mis is not a nattering picture oi the na tive Alaskan; but tbe police so far ap pointed have proved of great value in controlling the drunken and dissolute villagers. There is a territorial militia of 48 men and three officers, and plans are under way to increase the "army" by the addition of a company of natives. These things enter into the sys'em of government, but more important conser vators are the educational agencies at work. There ate 13 government day schools, of which three are white, and favorable progress is making, though tbe absence of a compulsory law is rt get ted. Tbe missions and churuhes are doing, perhaps, tbe most effective work. ' Tbe two distinctly industrial schools are in bigh favor, and good practical results ere obtaining. With a view to tbe better ment of all conditions of government and tbe development of the territory, tbe pro- tection of its fisheries, mines, etc.. it is strongly urged that some sort of action be taken to perfect, change, or mc cl fy present methods of jurisdiction It is thought by many wbo have given tbe matter consideration that a code espec ially adapted to the needs of Alaska, em bracing such additions of government machinery as may be required, would be tbe beat thins: at present attainable. Gov Knaoo is of the opinion this would largelv vested with tbe author iiy of making regulations subject to t ie at rroval of the president. As all tie offens -s enumerated in the criminal code. from lietty larceny to murder, seems to be cr treed up on the docket against nas tive and foreign Alaskans, it is certainly desirable that some well denned system of law should be established The 8etthment of the public lands is becom ng active, as many as 11 applies Hons laving been filed in tbe curse of a yar. Agriculture and stock raising rj Dickin r ud a trifle, though there is not yet enough of either to interest a Kansas farmer. As to the commerce of Alaska, Qov. Knapp says it is "'so Urgely carried on by temporary inhabitants and non residents, by such uous'iHl and concealed metrjotis. tbat it is especially difficult to obtain full information regardicg it " But the exports were comput d at $8 941. 515 50. against imports to the value of $3,252,550. The fisheries, of course, are the greatest resources, though the miner al resotroes are develrping unexpectedly . Altogether Alaska is proving a rich pos session, and in a few years the United S ates will have reason to give thanks for its purchase. Let Tl nil Know If Ton Are Com In p.
