Encouraging Facts Related in the Report
of Gov. SheakIeY.
James Sheakley, Governor of Alaska, has
submitted his annual report to the Secretary
of the Interior OF the general conditions OF
the Territory he says:
Notwithstanding the unfayorable climatic
conditions of the spring and early summer
months, many new enterprises were entered
upon, and old ones completed. The fisheries
have been successful; the mines have yielded
profitable returns; the population has been
largely augmented by immigration, and the
people have enjoyed season of unusual
progress and prosperity.
The civil officers have been vigilant and
faithful in the discharge Of their duties, and
in view of the extent OF the territory over
which they exercise authority and the ab-
sence Of transpor alton and other facilities
indispensable for the execution OF the law
crime is less frequent and law and order are
quite as we'll enforced as in some of the more
densely populated and highly civilized COM
munities.
The building of sawmills and the manu-
featuring of lumber in the Territory has revo-
lutionized and improved the manner of con-
structing habitations in all Of the villages.
1.-THE leading trait in the character of the
Alaska native is Imitativeness. and being pos
sessed of considerable mechanical skill and
willing TO work they purchase lumber and
erect modern houses. Some of them are built
in an original style of architecture and
painted IN colors of barbaric taste. but are
comfortable to live in and indicate the prog
ress made toward civilization They have
also much improved in the way Of preparing
food and clothing. The impress OF the mis-
sionary is visible in all parts OF southeastern
Alaska. and they deserve the commendation
of all the good they have accomplished among
these native people,
He estimates the population at about So, 900.

Mr.. WILLETT is CAUTIOUS.

VIII Insist on All post-office Clerks Civ
ing Bonds TO Him Personally.
Postmaster Willett had his hands literally
full Saturday with the matter OF the bonds of
employees in the city post-offlce. All of the
employees who handle money and the higher
grade employees have heretofore given bonds
which are held by the ex-postmaster.
With the change, new bonds in the same
amounts are required to be given to the new
postmaster, and these, he said, are being
made out as rapidly as possible. The blanks
are furnished by the Post-office Department
Mr.. Willett said that ne would insist on all
the bonds being handed in this morning. He
is not affected by the question as to whether
or not the government requires bonds from
these employees to. the Post-off1ce Department.
He is, however, interested in the response
bility of these employees to him and has him
SELF like all his predecessors, protected by
bonds made out to him.
The postmasters attention was called to
the reported objection of citizens on Capitol
Hill to the appointment of Mr.. Dove as super
intendent of East Capitol station, the ground
being that the home-rule sentiment should
prevail and that man from the Hill should
have been selected. Mr.. Willett said that the
matter had not yet been placed before him
and he was not disposed to consider it at
present

Miss Densie Herrendene Explains 1t from
the Christian Science Standpoint
Miss Densie Here ldene, Christian SCI
enlist made an address last night at the
Wimodaughsis lecture-roou, No. 1923 street
northwest, on s'The higher life" Miss Her
rendene is pupil of DR.. Dewey, OF New
York. and has herself had her health restored
under the treatment of Helen WImans, OF
Boston, publisher of Freedom
As a basis for her lecture she read the ser
mon on the mount as given III the hith chap
ter OF Matthew. On the mountain, she said,
the Saviour found impersonal truth and so
NAV we. We must rise above the low ground
of ordinary selfish living The teaching Of
the Master is entirely practical. 1t tells Us
how to be perfect here and now; not that any
have reached such state but it is our privi-
Iese to so use to-day and its lessons that we
shall live better. nearer perfection tomorrow,
and some day we should reach perfection.
We need only to do our part in this striy-
ing for perfection. God will not fail TO do
His will and His Son has said that we may
attain that high ideal.
AS TO what Christian science can doin heal
ing she said 1t was merely letting that work
out in our bodies which God intended should
come 20 use. To be what God intended US to
be and to do what he intended Us to do was
the true aim.
It is not so necessary to talk as TO live the
new life. Reform self first and let the example
speak for the reformation OF others.

Mr.. Rodda States the Case.

EDITOR TIMES: Kindly permit me to intrude
upon your valuable space to correct an error
which is of material interest to me and pos
sibly the public I notice in your issue of
yesterday that Warden Leonard stated to one
Of your representatives that he knew nothing
of my release and discharge from the Dis
trict Jail, but that of course he would be con-
demned by the public.
l wish to state as a positive fact that the
warden (Mr. Leonard) discharged me- in per-
son and that he was perfectly cognizant of
every fact appertaining to my case. The pub
licity given to this case is, of course, not
pleasant but at the same time feel sure you
will assist me in asserting the truth and my
individual rights. WALTER a. RoDDA.

Progress Of Construction on the Columbia
Cable-COutracts Let by the Metro
politau Company.
In day time long lines Of workmen busy
with shovel, pick, and hammer, and at night
l. succession o. f ring lanterns mark the line
Of construction OF the new cable road Of the
Columbia Street Railway.
There are 750 men on the pay rolls Of Con-
tractor Edmund SaIton, who has this work
IN charge. His contract requires completion
Of the job by January !. and he expects to
live up 10 its terms. Delay has been caused
by inability to get what are known in cable
construction as yokes, but this is made up by
working night gangs whenever necessary.
Excavation mas proceeded as lar west as
Seventh street, track laying as far west as
Fifth street, and tbs paving is finished from
Fourteenth 10 Tenth streets northwest A
temporary double track has been laid the en-
tire length OF the road along the line OF con-
strUction and the ordinary traffic of the road
has not been interferrcd with. As fast as the
cable road is finished the horse ears will be
Tun over the new tracks.
il is hardly probable that the new cable
road viii be IN operation before March l. as il
will take until about that time TO get the
power-house and cable machinery in opera
tlOn.
Contracts have been made by the Metro
pOlitaY Street Railway Company with the
Pennsylvania Street Company for rails, with
che Brett Company for rolling srOck and
with the General Electric Company for the
electrical equipment to be used on the Ninth
street line.
II is not expected, however, that street con-
struotlon will begin before spring, as the
company has until August next to change its
motive power. President Philips says that
the cars and every portion of the new equip
ment viii be Of the very best character. There
will be seTenty-dve cars on the Ninth street
line. Trains VIII consist OF a grip car and q
trailer, as On the cable road.
The motive power TO be used viii be a
modification Of the Budapest underground
electric system. This system will ultimately
replace horses on all the Metropolitan com
panys lines, but there win be no change next
year except on the Ninth street line.

Rev. Alexander Kent at the Peoples Church
yesterday morning.
His sermon was devoted to q discussion sof

possible is not the Christian way. While Mr.
Kidd saws the religious impulse,is the eontroll-
ing force which is TO lead men TO equal ma
terial opportunity. for all he really misses the
chief teaching of Christ, which is professedly
tho handspring Of Western religion This
teaching is that the best and happiest life is
one of brOtherly service, that the only basis
for Christian community is a sincere pur-
pose of mutual helDfulness and love.
The Masters concern was not for tbs few
that He could gather about Him; it was for
the great multitude that were deaf TO rhe

the beauties His eyes could see Hs wished
TO open the eyes of all 10 the grand possibili-
