The abandoned telegraph line which
the Western Union Telegraph company
set about establishing through Alaska
about thirty years ago is to be revived,
the company deciding that there is
sufficient business to warrant it's con-
struction. The line will be built to
Forty Mile Creek on the Yukon, and
branches will run to Sitka and Juneau,
thus putting Alaska in touch with the
world. The plan thirty years ago was
to construct line through Alaska by
way of Behring Straits to Siberia, and
thence to st. Petersburg. Before the
line had been finished to Alaska, the
success of the Atlantic cable made the
trans-Siberian line unnecessary. One
of the principal difficulties the tele-
graph encountered was from bears.
which took the telegraph poles for bee
trees and the humming Of the wires as
the sound OF disturbed bees. They tore
down many poles in their active search
for the honey supposed to be concealed
in them. Bears are still numerous In
that region, and the enterprise Of carry
ing the telegraph to that far region
may be found more difficult to accom-
plish than is now thought.

single Takers Bolt the school Board
Ticket Bevan's Declaration.

Populists and single takers, il appears.
VIII no more mix than will oil and water,
and az result of the late convention
whereat candidates were nominated for
the board OF education there is a wide
split between the two factions, which is
widening every day. Even at the conven-
ton one or two speakers in angry mood
declared that they would not support the
ticket placed in the field. and now Single
Tax" Tommy Bevan has washed his hands
OF the whole matter by rendering his res
ignation as a member of the Populist city
central committee.
The disruption is trac.able to the fact
that the avowed out-and-out Populists
will have nothing to do with the single tax
men. The A. +. A. element from the Sec
ond ward, II Will be remembered, made a
hard fight on Henry ". Stein, who is an
ardent advocate Of single tax, and the
combination formed by the introduction of
Ward as a dummy candidate before the
convention resulted In Stein being non-
mated only for the short term. The single
takers have since declared that they were
duped and defrauded. and their indigna-
ton has been hard 20 control. They have
also taken deep offense al the Clayson cir
cular. In which they were referred 20 as
thieves and were dubbed "swindle takers"
Beyan yesterday talked freely about the
ticket He was almost willing to say that
none OF the nominees but Stein would re-
ceive his support, and he was of the opin-
ion that the single takers would bolt the
ticket He was firmly convinced that sin
gle tax and POpulism would not go to-
gether.

Oskes. Payne and Rouse. who stated that
in two years they paid s4s3. 40 40 for legal
expenses alone In addition they paid in

tai for administration expenses OF sl575-
zSs.is during the two years of the receiver
ship, which is probably record for ex-
travagance without a parallel. AS the
expenses in the second year were upwards
OF s3S.eo0 more than for the first il is
easy 10 see that a continuance OF such
management would have been most disas-
trous.
THE present complications are unfor-
tunate. but there is reason 20 believe that
they viii be Of short duration. and in any
case can hardly be as costly to the road
as the management of the old receivers
THE stockholders are TO be congratu-
lated on the failure of a plan formulated
by the Adams committee which under
the guise OF reorganization was intended
10 secure the absorption Of the Northern
Pacific by the Great Northern, and IT'S
elimination as an independent corpora
ton Fortunately the plan was open TO 50
many objections of financial, legal and
moral nature that II barely survived its
birth II is runored that the same parties
are striving TO reach the same end by
different means, but there is little pros
pect of success The Northern Pacific has
seen It's darkest days. The region through
which IL runs is growing and must grow
as rapidly as any in the country For
years the road has been weighed down by
incompetent or dishonest management
II it can be run on a strictly business
basis It cannot fail TO give good returns 10
