anything be more strongly confrma- tory of the statements of Mir, Jarvis?
 "When Governor Brady passed thro' Skagway on his official tour, preparatory to writing his annual report, that city showed him no more attention than if he had been private citizen, Yet this is the man who came to the front at the vital moment and saved Skagway and the adjoining country from being ad- ded to Canadian soil. Had it not been for the efforts of this same Brady, as sisted by Mir. Bracket, another one of Skagway's unappreciated friends, that city would undoubtedly be under Ca nadiau rule today. We do not state this from any opinion of our own, but have it from parties high in authority at Washington. Yet Skagway and the aforementioned paper are constantly maligning Governor Brady"
 The assertion of the ten marine league line and the establishment of a boundary that would give Skagway and Lynn canal to the British would also include much valuable property along the $. E. Alaskan coast.

METHODIsM IN ALASKA.

Rev. G. M. Irwin returned from the M. E. conference, on the Dolphin. He has been continued in charge at Juneau for the coming year. The Doctor is one of the most able preachers who has ev- CT come to Alaska and is supported in his ministry by the enthusiastic assis- tance of his charming and accomplish ed wife. Juneau is fortunate to retain so able man.
 Mr. J. Hanson, who has had charge of the cause of Methodism on Douglas Island for the past three months, has received word from Rev. J. J. Walter, that Rev. Barton, of Portland, Ore, will take his place the coming year.
 Rev. J. J. Walter, who is sometimes alluded to as Alaska's Methodist pope, and whose regime has been crowned with systematic series of blunders, is again placed at the front with the reins in his hands. Because a subordinate saw fit to criticise his judgment he was summarily removed. The Skagway college has proven the truth of the statement that the man who will take no one's advice will generally get off wrong. The Methodist church can't afford such experiments.

A FORECAST.

Thirty years ago if any one had pre- dicted that Alaska would at one time be made, not only the home of thrifty population, but supply that population with a large percentage of the neces- saries for a livelihood; such person would have been considered somewhat cratic, to say the least.
 That Alaska is only in it's infancy, we might almost say in it's embryo state, is being conclusively proven every day. If we think that people little appreci- ated the value of Stewards great pur- chase thirty years ago, how much less will we think they appreciated it thirty years hence, when a thrifty population has begin to show what development is possible to this great district.
 Allow us to ascend to height from which we may obtain birdseye view of the vast extent of our domain and i'm agine that instead of living in the year 1900 we are permitted to review the re- suits of thirty years more of labor and development.
 Following the mountains from Mary Island up through Wrangel, Juneau, Skagway, Yakutat, Valdez, and then across through the great valleys of the Copper and Panama rivers till we are swept into the current of the mighty Yukon. Thence from the mouth of that river up and down the coast from Point Barrow to the head of Cook h. let we are met on every side by the thunderous like roar of thousands up- on thousands of stamps, as they crush the imprisoning rock and free the bright, golden treasure from it's prehis- toric bondage,
 Throughout the coast region, and more noticeably on the islands and lowlands of the Cook Inlet and Alaska Peninsula country, we see happy homes with the auxilaries of vegetable and flower gardens, barn yard dwellers, henneries and apiaries. In the quiet sunshine we hear the melodious CO., mingling of children's happy voices blended into the homely accompani- ment of the lowing of the kline, the neighing of old "Dobbin," the distress ed bleating of the mother sheep as she vainly attempts to call her frisky off spring to her side. As we listen more closely we hear the drowsy hum of the bee as he carries his burden of sweets to his overpopulated tenement and anon we hear the sharp bark of the house dog as he drives a wandering porker from the forbidden precincts of the garden and flower bed.
 We might go on indefinitely and tell of the vast deposits of coal, petroleum and copper. The possibilities of the fisheries, the fox culture, the cattle in- dustry and the hundreds of other nat ural resources that in time to come will make Alaska, our Alaska, one of the greatest states in our grand Union. -Sitka Alaskan.

THE RAILROAD LEASE TALK.

THE RAILROAD LEASE TALK.
Discussing the rumors Of an offer by
the New York Central to lease the Con-
solidated road, a New Haven dispatch
in the New York Post of last evening
says:
I'm recent talks with exPresident
Clark and other directors here, the idea
of union with the New York Central
was treated as remote, and a union
with the Pennsylvania was regarded as
the more probable outcome. The gen
eral opinion here has, however, of late
been strengthened in favor of a New
York Central-New Haven combination,
especially since the troubles have arisen
in the Massachusetts legislature over
the Boston and Albany lease. The fail
ure of that lease would tend strongly
to hasten propositions from the New
York Central for New Haven control.
So strongly has the foregoing opinion
prevailed here that even the terms of
the proposed lease have been contin-
gently discussed
1T is not in the slightest degree prob
able that a simple s per cent. lease of
the New Haven road would be consid-
cred by it's stockholders, even with the
$685., 200 of debentures convertible
three years hence allowed for, the in
creased dividend of $655,SS0 on which
would be partly covered by the saving
of several hundred thousand dollars by
the refunding of $10,000000 New Eng
land bonds in 1895. The New Haven
company has, by it's last general bal
ance sheet, profit and loss surplus of
S12 291 800 and the treatment of a SINH
lar surplus as a bonus to the Boston
and Albany stockholders in New York
Central 8 IL per cent. bonds suggests a
similar. line of negotiations in dealing
with the question of a New Haven
lease. In the question of the value of a
lessee Of the New Haven road, the fact
that it is not by close economies or
even economical management ever
shown it's real earning power is strong
ly emphasized by local stockholders"
