WHEN Alaska was purchased the price of $7,200,000 was looked upon by practically all Ameri cans as exorbitant. The general idea we had of Alaska was that what waB not Icebergs was a great waste of snow, uninhabitable, desolate, barren, useless for any vurpose under the sun, except for the production of furs. Events have proven that we had but little knowledge of that great coun trynor have we yet In a short time after Its purchase we found that be sides furs there was a fishing Industry of Immense value, though we hardly suspected Its magnitude. Then wo learned that It had some timber, and later still became somewhat excited over the Aladdln-Hke tale of vast stores of gold. We could scarcely be lieve these, yet they were In every way true. Our investment in worthless JcelergB of $7,200,000 has brought us returns of about $400,000,000. Wo have received In 40 years, in round num bers, sixty times as much as we paid. In other words our Investment has paid 1H0 per cent a year for 40 years. This Bliould be enough, but recent events Bhow that whllo wo have owned the country so long, we yet know lit tle or anything about It, or Its possibil ities. About tho last place on earth, even the wildest dreamer would select as a pasture ground for stork, would be Alaska; yot It is not Impossible but highly probable that In the near future the peoplo of tho United Stales will got a portion, and no small por tion, either, of It a metal supply from Alaska. A few years ago Undo Sam brought from Lapland and placed in Alaska a few herds of reindeer. In Juno, 1911, those had increased until the herds totaled 32,029, nnd in Octob er of that yoar a shipment of reindeer meat was made to Seattle, thore being some 18,750 pounds of it, nnd this was sold at fancy figures, bringing 25 to 75 cents a pound. Governor Clark estimates that at the present rnte of Incrcaso thorn will be 2,000,000 reindeer In Alaska, from which we tuny draw part of our meal supply. IIo further estimates that the treeless regions of Northern and West ern Alaska, soinn 400,000.000 acres, will support 10.000,000 reindeer, which would go far towards furnishing the country's meat supply. With fish nnd fur, timber nnd gold, coal and copper, nil In abundance, It seemed the coun try was rich enough, but now when It bobs up ns a great pasture, that will supply us with delicious meat, wo may well pause and wonder what this "worthless ni'ea of snow nnd Ice" will do for us next. It seems Improbable that It will become a compel Itlor r California and Florida, In tho produc tion of ellriiN fruits, yet, In tho light of recent weather In California, and the unsuspected things Alaska baa here tofore done for us, who Is there shall fix the limit for her. or even guess what sho will do next? stand, It may be possible she was unoblo to realize her position, or that she hoped, by keeping up a stiff upper Up to, as we Americans say, "put up a stiff bluff" to force better terms than the allies offered, but this seems Improbable. It Is possible, Indeed ex tremely probable, that some one or more of tho great powers encouraged her delegates to stand out, even offer ing promises of assistance, at the last moment, should it be necessary, to force better terms from the allies. Be this as It may, Turkey Is now at the end of her rope. A few more thou sands slaughtered, a few more sound belaborlngs, and she will be compelled to yield and accept such terms as the allies may offer her. Tho question now Is: "Will, from the present alliance, a now world power spring Into being in Europe?" ft I JERJ 1?"

THE TURKS .Ml SI' I.EUE. IT looks ns though tho "unspeakable Turk" was to be but a memory, nnd not a very pleasant memory, either, In Europe. Willi the allies hammering at Adilunoplo, ami almost at tho gates of Constantinople, flushed with victory, ami with n dis heartened and discouraged enemy, di vided against llself, there can be but one result, nnd that is the abandon ment of Europe by Turkey, Just why, knowing that she was nt the end of her resources, whlpved to a finish.

If the suggestion and plans of May or Stceves are carried out by the city council, and the matter will be placed before that body some time in the near future, the chief of police will not be responsible for his actions to tho people at largo, who elect him, under the present system, nor win be be responsible to the members of the council, but the mayor will have com plete supervision of that officer, and the men employed therein.

Placing authority under which tho police department shall be conducted in the hands of the chief executive of the city, will have a tendency to elim inate strlfo and ill feeling between tho officers and the city administra tion, according to the belief of Mayor Steeves. In the event tho mayor's plans are carried out, Chief Sliedeck, or any other chief, for that matter, will be responsible to the mayor sole ly; and, should that officer prove un fit for the office, or should he be de clared Incapable, the mayor will have the authority to discharge him and ap point another in his place, without no tice or unnecessary red tape. There should bo no police commit tee to contend with, says the mayor. The proper head to which the chief of police should look to for orders or directions, should consist of one mnn, and thnt man should be held respon sible for tho actions of tho police force. Mayor StocveB clearly Bhows his metal In offering to stand responsible for the actions of both the chief and his under officers, and that his plan is a popular one goes without saying. For tho past four years the only fric tion occurring between tho members of tho council nnd tho police depart ment wns due to quarrels between the department and tho police committee The old members of the police com mittee in tho council have the most commendable record for harmony nnd activity, for the renson tho officers nnd council men were on good terms, nnd no attempt wns made by tho mem bers of tho committee to dictate as to what action the chief of police should take, ono way or tho other. The old council wns not adverse to advising the chief of police of any violations of the law, however, but that official was pcrmllted to select his men and direct them without. Interference.
