Bee culture is a new line of endeavor that is coming into prominence in the Anchorage-Mat- anuska district. Dr. H. W. Alberts, Federal Agon- omist in charge of agricultural experiment sta- tlons in the'Territory, is reported by the Anchor- age Times as being highly encouraged its W future prospects. The chief problem confronting ‘the bee farmers has not been in locating pollen g ‘hr bee bread for larvae or flowers from which to xtract the honey but in keeping the little | dnsects warm omfortable through the inters.

Department of the Interior announces that an expedition will be sent to the top of Mount McKinley, Alaska, to recover a self-reg- istering thermometer left there fifteen years ago. The party will be led by Harry Karstens, superin- tendent of the Mount McKinley National Park. Interest in that particular thermometer is based upon the possibility that it may show a tempera- ture lower than that ever recorded at any other spot on earth. Mount McKinley's great bulk is visible for 100 miles from the Alaska Railroad. Its snowy peak is 20,300 feet above the level of the sea. It is beyond the sixty-third degree of latitude and it the tallest mountain so far from the equatc It is supposed that its top, nearly four miles above the , sees the coldest weather in the world. The are above the timber line, that vast eminence looks down on beautiful valleys which at this season are the loveliest in the world. The long dura- tion of sunlight causes a growth of plant life un- known in lower latitudes. Flowers bloom lux- uriantly and wild grasses grow almost per- ceptibly. The growing season is short when measured in months, but nature works in double shifts. The long sunlit days and the peaceful calm of the atmosphere make for ideal growing conditions, It is likely that the Mount McKinley ther- mometer will show that the bleak peak exper- ienced some appalling degrees of frost, but na- ture has provided compensations in the sheltered valleys. Teo Many Laws Spoil the Citizen. Seattle Business Chronicle.) . A caustic criticism of the American system of lawmaking points to 20,000 Federal statutes, 600,000 State laws, uncounted city ordinances and regulations produced by hundreds of boards and bureaus, until the new-born babe “finds him- sell enmeshed in legal regulations which are in- tended to control its acts until death.” The foregoing sounds like an extract from a ]mlllh;«l speech, It But ‘there is s0 much truth in it that every American citizen ought to ponder what it says, with a determination to check, if possible, the overwhelming practice of the country to burden itself with laws. “Ignorance of the law excuses no man.” But no man, even a good lawyer, can be expected to have a full acquaintance with American laws—which are so numerous conflicting as to make nearly every well-inten- tioned citizen a persistent and involuntary law- breaker. To others this continued evasion of law breeds disrespect for the law—which is one of America’s most unhealthy tendencies.
