" Your Patronage Solicited That Alaska is to be held responsible for the oool summers io the States, the hot summers, the heavy rainfall and the lack of it, is evident when we read the following from the Denver Repub lican: The first onslaught of summer has been delivered iu the Middle West, where dozens have died owing to heat prostration, and nothing earlier nor more Be'vere appears upon the weather bureau records. The contrast witfafthe record of last summer is nothing short of remarkable. The summer of 1912 was the coolest in years, not only in ' this country but all over the world. Scientists have advance the theory that the remarkable coolness was the result of the terriffic explosion of an Alaskan volcano, which tilled the upper atmosphere with fine particles of dust. The sun's rays iu passing through this dust envelope, which literally encir- 1 cled the world, were deflected, and lost much of their force. An unusually heavy precipitation of rain followed, and the disturbances of the Hummer ! were like those of the summer follow ing similar volcanic eruptions. If these scientists are correct in their theory that the '"volcanic envelope" caused | the exceptionally cool summer of 1912, It is evident that the dust particles have completely disappeared by now. At any rate the Middle West has never suffered earlier from the effects of ex treme heat. Probably the general average of the last few days has been from thirty to fifty degrees higher than for the corresponding time last sum i , mer. This sudden visitation of sum mer, before its calendar time for ar rival, adds another interesting 'chapter to the atmospheric study which the ! scientists began last year following the i Alaskan volcauic eruption in Juue. The Valdez Commoner, edited by 1 that ecceutric John Frame, sometimes comes very close to the truth in its own peculiar way. A recent number contains the following: Very often in life the actions of certain moo raise the "dog in the manner question. "Once there was a fellow raised thousands of dollars to build a railroad in a certain town in the North, but others were jealous at teeing him succeed. This fellow waoted certain lots and busi nesses that were In the town which he believed would grow to be a large city. Did the people rush to him and give him their property? No, they made him pay fabulous prices for it. Oue mau hooked him for $50,000 for a bank business, worth probably as much as the dumping ground on some gold creek. They rode him to death and had we been here, no doubt we would have sold him a thousand tons of ice from the glacier for future "municipal purposes," and cared little about whetner he would "quit" the project or not, just no we got the masuma. He failed. There were too many men in j the canyon below him. He quit. The hold up was too stitt for him. He left the country. He failed to secure the dumping ground for his project. Everybody put an injunction upou his effort, and yet all those meu who "bought the claim below" are today called "business meu" iu the little town where this occurred. We would tell you the name of this little village, but , there are some who would think we were "roasting" (that's what they call the chickeu that comes home to roost), but we mu>t close, for a friend has just come in.

When the tourists reached the summit on their recent trip to the in side, tbe flag was brought forth aod dedicated to the United States and to the principles of libei ty which the stars and stripes represent. ? Alaskan. What appears to be a natural gas well has been found in Kenai lake, about 20 feet from shore, near what are known as the Bowhead cabins. This manifes tation or phenomenon in the waters has been noticed by old-times, but ,they paid no particular attention to it. An* drew Simons, tbe guide, who lives in that vicinity, got interested in the oc currence and set about making tests of the effusion which comes bubbling up from the depths of the lake. His dem onstration leads himself, as well as others who saw it, to be convinced that the well is giving forth natural gas, says the Cljitina Leader. The im portance of this discovery, should it indeed be natural gas, depends, of course, to what use the product is put. It is, perhaps, the cheapest and best commodity known for heatiug and lighting purposes, and if Seward ever reaches a point of great commercial importance, the natural gas available would play an active part in supplying it with heat and light. The United States revenue cutter Thetis, known as the Alaska court ship, will take court officials aboard at Val dez and proceed to K"diak, Sand Point, the Aleutian islands, Bristol bay and Nusbagak, administering justice as a floating court. All sorts of cases will be disposed of by the court officials aboard the Thetis. At tbe canneries, where men of several nationalities are employed, there are many violators of ^ the law from petty thievery to murder and assault, and they are dealt with by the stroug hand of tbe law aboard the revenue cutter. Tbe Thetis is in com maud of Capt. C. S. Cochrau, who has made four cruises to the North in this detail. Among the new officers aboard the vessel are First Lieutenant J. L. Maber, who comes from tbe U. S. rev enue cutter Wiuona, stationed at Mo bile, Ala.; Second Lieutenant S. V. Par / ker, of tbe Windon, at Galveston; Third t Lieutenant of Engineers C. ?).
