MUSK OXEN SETTLE DOWN NEAR ALASKAN COLLEGE. northern of the the musk oxen, Campus fave t the most colleges of the United States are which the Bureau of Biological Survey, United States Departm of Agriculture, imported into Alaska last summer, according to a recent bulletin. The bureau in Washington recently received a copy of The Farthest-North Collegian, published by the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, which reports that the animals in that herd are in thriving condition at the experiment station, are alning weight at the average rate of half a pound a day, and give no indication of pining frr their birthplaces in Greenland, Fifteen bulls and nineteen cows, Alaska's first musk-ox herd since the last band was exterminated there nes a century ago, bids fair to fulfil the purpose which it was brought here—that of the country with an animal indigenous Half the herd,” says the article, “are jast calves and half were yearlings when cap- tured. Their home now is a 40-acre inclosure near the college, and they' are being given different kinds of feed to determine which is the most su't- able. Experimental feeding has been carried on with aMalfa ‘meal, alfalfa, broom grass, native hay, and oat hay.” The Collegian notes that no increase in the herd for populating to it year's xpected for two years or more. Several acres of suitable range land has been the Biological Survey at the experi-| on which the animals will be kept and experiments in feeding and can be thoysand provided by ment station for observation management dispatch said that a shaft and tablet were dedicated at Mukilteo, near Everett, to commemorate the “signing of the treaty of Mukilteo by Gov.

The treaty was signed) in 1855 i The goodwill of ~all Alaskans and Americans everywhere will follow Seiji Yoshihara, the Japanese lone fiyer, as he wings his way from Japan to Sanl| Franoisco. The wish everywhere is that he’ might negotiate the trip successfully and without *nisad- venture; He will be sincerely welcomed along the ntire :oute. The New York Times says newspapermen of | that City would welcome the establishment' of a! dry daily paper there. Possibly, but probably :nost, of them would rather work on some other paper. i . Official Homes. (Cincinnati Znquirer.) The United States is acquiring official homes in ! all world capitals; embassies and legations are bemg built which adequately are representative of che‘ place and dignity of the Nation in the sisterhood of earth's commonwealths. The movement makes it no longer necessay for the rich alone to take posts in important capitals, | and a Consul in an out-of-the-way place may now have over his head a roof of which he need not be | ashamed. | Congress has appropriated $6,835,000 for these embassies and legations abroad since the $10,000,000 foreign building program was authorized in 1926. | It is being asked this year to set aside another | $2,000,000. It will not be long until the Nation will have splendid embassies in Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, London, Paris, Havana, Tokyo, Mexico City, Istanbul, Reme, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Lima. Our flag will fly above prtentious legations in Tirana, Albania, Pekin, San Jose, Costa Rica, Prague, Oslo, Managua, | Nicaragua, San Salvador, El Salvador, Monrovia, Liberia and Ottawa. The program already is largely completed. Other capitals and important cities will be added to the list as soon as may be. The growing importance | of the country demands it.

George A. Parks for publication in the Territory. | Claims which are not presented to the Commission before it con- cludes its work will he thereafber, barred from consideration. i The State Department’s notice | |follows in full: “A Claims Cocnvention has been | concluded with the Government of | Panama providing for a Mixed Claims Commission to pass upon and finally adjudicate all claims cf American citizens against Panama. The Arbitral Commission will con- cider all unsettled diplomatic, claims which have arisen since the independence of the Republic of | Panama was declared on November | 3, 1903, as well as the claims of | Panama citizens against the Unit; “d‘ States. “The Ccmmission will consist of | * one Commissioner appointed by | the Government of the United ,one Commissionar appoint- ed by the Government of Panama, Commis- be selected oy agreement of the two Governments “The Department of State in ‘Washington is now engaged in the | preparation of claims for presen- | tation to the Commission.

Best of all, a capable and competent man of modest means may now represent his country | in an important capacity in the larger capitals, | without the aid of private fortune, thus tending to | extend the democracy of the service, dispensing with | costly and exorbitant rentals paid to foreign gov- | ernments. Proper allowances will also be made to American ' diplomats, something Europe has done for many | years. The entering wedge has been made, and | the American traveler will soon have no reason | to be ashamed of his country's representatives- homes abroad. i Benjamin Franklin went to France and within fifteen years the French had a republic.
