Mr. Beegle Tells Some
Truths About Alaska
J. R. Becglc, formerly deputy col
lector of customs at Ketchikan, was
in Portland, Ore, recently, and he told
the Oregonian a number of truths,
about the dense ignorance of outsid
ers us to Alaska and Alaska condi
tions. He stated that the Nome dele
gation to the Teritorlal legislature
were chosen from citizens of the dis
trict who happened to be in Seattle
on election day, because the members
elect could not reach Juneau in time
for the session which convenes in
March.
If Mr. Beegle was correctly report
ed. he himself, was laboring under a
! mistake, as three of the men elected
are now enroute here, having left
Nome on Jan. 7. These are Senator
| Freeding and Representatives Gaff
ney and Aldrich. And as a matter of
fact, for many years people from
Nome have made the overland trip,
both ways, during the winter.
The Oregonian says:
"Mr. Beegle went from Portland to
Dvea during the rush of '9S under ap
pointment as deputy collector of cus
toms under J. W. Ivy, collector for
Alaska. He was at Dyea a year and
a half and was then transferred to
Mary island, then first port of entry
for the territory. The office was
moved to Ketchikan, and Mr. Beegle
continued in the government service
at that point until last December,
when he resigned to go into the sal
mon canning business. Ketchikan was
a mere village, with hut three white
women at that time. It is now a town
or L',500.
"Mr. and Mrs. Beegle came to Port
land from San Francisco, where they
went on business. Illustrating the gen
eral lack of knowledge of Alaska he
tells of trying to mail a registered
package for Ketchikan while in San
Francisco. The postal clerk at first re
fused to accept the package, saying
that it would be impossible to deliver
it at this time of the year. Mr. Beegle
had some difficulty in explaining that
Ketchikan is an open port, with a cli
mate that seldom knows zero weather.
"Mr. and Mrs. Beegle intend some
time to make their permanent home
in Portland. Mr. Beegle came to Ore
gon in 1877, was editor of the St. Hel
en's Mist and the Ilillsboro Independ
ent, and did newspaper work in Port
land. He was president of the State
Press Association in 1895-6.
Plan to Prevent Stock
Exchange Gambling
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.?A plan to
prevent gambling 011 stock exchanges,
by use of the Federal taxing power,
has been formulated by Senator Cum
mins. He will introduce a bill em
bodying his theories within a few days.
It is his belief that the evil can be era
dicated by the impositions of a prohib
itive fee 011 transactions that are un
desirable.
The bill will levy a tax of 10 per
cent on all stock exchange or board of
trade transactions where sales are
made by parties not owning the com
modity they prose to transfer. This
will cover all dealings in "futures"
and include cotton and all agricul
tural products.
As an illustration, the 10 per cent
would be imposed on transactions
where stock Is sold "short." or where
agricultural products are sold for fu
ture delivery by persons not then
owning the products to he sold.
Previous proposals aimed to ac
complish the same purpose have been
based on the right of Congress to refi
ll late interstate commerce or to de
termine what shall be sent through
the mails. As precedents for his pro- ,
posal to place a prohibitory tax on '
gambling transactions, Senator Cum- ?
mins will point to the tux on State !
bank circulation.
Proper exceptions are to be made
in the bill to allow a farmer to sell
his growing crops or a packer or can
nor to contract for the sale of his
products, and for similar transactions
considered legitimate.
During the last session of Congress
a certain kind of match was taxed
1 out of existence. A Federal levy was
imposed to the entire sum at which
ilie product could be sold. It was
intended to prevent future manufac
ture of the match, which caused a pe
culiar disease known as "phossy
jaw." At that time Senator Bailey
protested against the legislation, say- 1
ing it formed a precedent under which <
any objectionable industry could be <
taxed out of existence. <

YOUNG LADY INSISTED
ON A TAFT KISS
Wyoming Mi6s at Four Got it, Too,
and Was Satisfied.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.?On Presi
dent Tuft's appointment list recent
ly was this brief entry:
"Phylis Wistrand, Lander, Wyo., (to
be kissed.)"
When that item caught the Presi
dent's eye as he sat down at his desk
he looked about his ollice and over in
one corner saw a little girl, with
blonde curls, looking eagerly at him.
Besides her was a woman, evidently
her mother.
"Well, Phylis," he said as he rose
from his chair to shake hands, "so
you want to be kissed by the Presi
dent of the United States?"
"Yes, Sir," she lisped.
"Well," said the President, as he
raised her high in his arms and kissed
her fairly on the cheek, "I hope you
will remember that."
Phylis is four years old. She went
through the White House recently
with her mother and some friends,
and anounced then that she would
never leave Washington until she had
been kissed by the President. She
was so insistent that her mother
wrote to the White House, and final
ly made an appointment with Mr.
Taft. Phylis left for her home in Wy
oming this afternoon quite satisfied.
CHEMICAL COMBINATIONS
MAKE MEN INVISIBLE
Owing to a new material discovered
in the government laboratories by av
iation officials, it will soon be possible
to make both the occupant and the
aeroplane invisible to those on the
ground, after rising a short distance
above the earth, says a Washington
dispatch.
The discovery has been known for
several weeks but it was only after
a thorough investigation that the se
cret has been made public. It is said
to be simple and at the same time one
of the most marvelous chemical in
ventions of the age.

GUANTANAMO WILL
GUARD CANAL GATE
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.?Guantan
;i mo, Cuba, is to be made an Impreg
nable fortified harbor by the United
States for the United States, if Cuba
changes her mind and ratifies the
treaty now pending.
It is to be fortified as an outpost
of the Panama Canal defenses on the
Atlantic Caribbean side.
The plan has been announced at the
War Department as the decision of
the joint board of army and navy of
I ficers appointed by the Secretaries of
War and Navy at the direction of the
President to perfect the Panama Canal
fortifications scheme.
The orders necessary to inaugurate
the charge and work in the present
naval station at Guantanamo will be
given as soon as the treaty rights can
be adjusted. The whole scheme has
been worked out upon the premises
that for a foreign army to make a suc
cessful attack on the defenses of the
Panama Canal, an army of invasion
first would have to be landed in Cuba.
INTERNATIONAL BODY TO
CONSIDER PANAMA CANAL
PARIS, Jan. 28.?The International
committe for the study of the ques
tion of neutralizing straits and mari
time canals met here yesterday, Count
da Penha-Carcia of Portugal presld
| ing.
It decided, in view of the special im
portance at the present time of ques
tions relating to the Dardanelles, and
the Panama Canal, to submit to the in
ternational conference at The Hague
in September a report embodying
what the committee considers should
be the principle governing all such
questions.
After the conference lias discussed
this report, the committee w!.' draw
up a treaty to be submitted to the
i governments.

BRICKS THAT WILL LAST I
THROUGH UNTOLD AGES
Home, Jan. 27.?Giuseppe Giovan
netti, a young Roman, who had al
ready discovered a pigment for fres
coes whose resisting power surpasses
that of the ancients, has now dis
covered the lost art of brlckmaking as
practised by the Romans 2,000 years
ago. This is the opinion of experts
who have tested bricks made by the
Giovannettl system, which resists fire
damp, excessive cold and every other
destructive element, and apparently'
would last unimpaired for endless!
ages.
The secret has been given to the
Italian government. Experiments be
ing made with the new bricks tend
rather to conflrn than shake the most
exaggerated reports of their durabil
ity. building experts declare that a
new era has dawned in the construc
tion of large buildings. Contracts be
ing made for all the new dwellings in
Tripoli contain a clause stipulating
that these bricks must be used.
CHAMBERLAIN OBJECTS
LONDON, Jan. 28.?Austen Cham
berlain announced at Birmingham last
night that he cannot accept responsi
bility for the Unionists' decision to
abandon the proposition to impose -
taxes on food imported into the I3rit- ~
ish Isles. He cannot turn back, he
said, on the cause he has championed, *
and while he will continue loyally to ?
serve his leaders and his party he !
fears the decision will prove calami- [
tous.
