These regulations should be framed and applied with special reference to bringing about the largest permanent occupation of the country by actual set- tlers and home seekers. All land covered by any permit so given should contin to be subject to entry under reasonable regulations notwithstanding such permit. Mining Laws. Your commission has not yet found it | possible to take up the extremely impor- tant subject of the revision of the mining ‘laws with the thoroughness which it de- serves. From the evidence already sub- mitted it is obvious that important changes are necessary, both in the United States and in Alaska. The commission - hopes to treat this matter more at length in a subsequent report. Rights of Way. Year after year the question of rights of ‘Way across the public lands and reserva- tions has been called to the attention of the Congress in the reports of the Secre- tary of the Interior and the Commissioner of the General Land Office. ‘The laws on this subject are numerous and apparently often incongruous.

Wherever the laws have been so enforced as to give the settler a reason- able chance he has settled, prospered, built up the country, and brought about more complete development and larger prosperity than where land monopoly flourishes. Nearly everywhere the large landowner has succeeded in monopo- lizing the best tracts, whether of timber or agricultural d. There has been some outcry mst this condition. Yet the lack of greater protest is signifi cant. It is to be explained by the energy, shrewdness, and influence of the men to whom the continuat of the present con- dition is desirable. Your Commission ‘has had inquiries made as to how a number of estates, - ted haphazard, have been acquired.

The general cause as- are at your service, Highest ref- signed for the separation is the refusal of King Oscar of Sweden to grant Nor- way a separate consular service of its own. But this overlooks a salient fact of history, Intended Effacement of Norway. Bernadotte, Napoleon's marshal, when invited by the Swedish nobles to become king, pledged himself, for him- self and his successors, to make it the great principle of Swedish diplomacy to gradually effect the absorption and effacement of Norway. The nobility of Sweden hoped by this method to atone for the loss of Finland. Berna- dotte was unable to complete this pro- each of his successors has felt it bind- ing on him. King Oscar of Sweden, kind and good natured, would prob- ably have been glad enough to give the Norwegians their separate consu- lar service, but for the promise made by his ancestor, Throughout the eighty-seven years that the line of Rernadotte has been on the Swedish throne Norway has never relinquished the demand for in- dependence, and the fruition of this great dream is certain to be followed by determined efforts toward progress. They are intensely democratic, are the Norwegians, in marked contrast to the Swedes, who have the habit of aris- tocracy strongly fixed upon them. There are said to be only five noble families in Norway, while there are three thousand in Sweden. Outwitting the Russian Came.

Nobody is allowed to be shaved suffering from a visible skin disease, unless the pro- prietor of the barber shop is con- vinced that it is not contagious. Sponges, powder puffs, magnesia and styptics in lumps, and _ revolving brushes are prohibited. Scissors, brushes, and combs, a8 well as the hair-cutting machines and _ razors, must be cleaned with ammonia or soda and an antiseptic solution. SS —e Not a Laughiog Matter.
