of the canan as being most impress
sive, comparing in grandeur and mas
sive outlook with either the Grand
Canon of the Colorado or that of the
Yellowstone. There are three beauti-
full waterfalls at the mouth of the
canon, while far above them on the
mountain summit are small glaciers.
One Of these falls has plunge to the
river below of 700 feet. AT the mouth
of the canon is a monster glacie:. with
its deep blue coloring, the glacier be-
/ ing framed by the green foliage cling
ing to the canon walls. Looking up
the canon on the right side is per-
pendicular wall of rock over 1900 feet
in altitude.
Captain Abercrombie reports that the
harbor at Port Valdez is what is tee
nically known as a submerged valley,
| the head Of which is filled In with
glacial deposition and terminal NOR
aine. The harbor from Stanton Mar
rows to the mouth of Lowe river is
about ten miles long by three miles
wide.
Owing to the immense flow of water
from the Valdez glacier. the only feasi-
bic point of departure, which would
embrace all the natural facilities for
railroad terminals, would be narrow
strip of land, from ,one-half to three
| quarters of a mile broad and extend
ing up the Lowe river some five miles
and south of a small stream which
is an outlet of Robe Lake Following
up the Lowe River valley, the line
would naturally keep to the north
side over practically nominal grade
passing through Keystone Canon with
ordinary canon work and emerging
on the flood plain Of the iner-calion
basin; the operator would from this
point have the choice of two .outes,
one route following in an easterly di-
rection over Marshall Pass at an ele-
yation of 1900 feet and down the Tas-
nuna to the Copper river valley; the
other, turning to the north, crossing
the mountain range at Thompson Pass
with an altitude Of 1900 feet, then
down the Teikhell river valley through
the sWampy pass at the head of the
Knata,s thence down the Torsina into
the Coppe- river valley.
Captain Abercrombie believes that
the future for a railroad through this
section of Alaska is very promising
owing to the presence of large zones Of
heavily mineralized copper, deposits,
the development Of which will un-
|questionably yield a local tnooage Of
great value. He states that the prox-
unity Of tie and bridge timber, the alb
sence of any great engineering fea-
lures, would render rail- Dad construc-
tion in this section comparatively
easy problem for a mountain division.
The total length of the road. which
Captain Abercrombie .believes to be
feasible for railroads construction for
pack horses, is SO miles. s
Relative to the agricultural possi-
bilities of Alaska, Captain Abercrom-
bic is very sanguine. He calls atten-
tion to. the aet that he forwarded ta
| the war .departmt mt, last summer, some
particularly fine specimens Of potatoes,
beets, turnips, radishes, peas and let
tuce, which he believes can be grown
in almost unlimited quantities in AL
aska; while oats, rye and wheat that
he saw mature during the past sea-
son, were equally as fine

PINGREE ON THE STAND.
MichiEan's Governor TestIGes in the
Marsh EmbczzIement Trial.


LANSING, Mich, March D. Governor
Pingree was put on the stand today to
testify in General Marsh's enlightenment
trial. He was asked to identify his sigma
ture to an official order dated On July Il
last. directing the military board to sell
the uniforms and supplies on hand. He
acknowledged that be signed the order
but pleaded that he had forgotten all
about it and that when he signed il he had
no idea Of its purpose or that the State
had on hand $50 900 worth of uniforms aid
supplies which was sold for Si0.J00 and
bought back at the higher price.
His admission made a sensation nc was
originally understood that General White
and General Marsh sold the property with
OF its officers. Governor Pingree seemed
to be as much taken back by the produc-
tion Of the tell-tale order as was the de-
fence, but Judge Cahill, Of the prosecution,
saved him from embarrassment by remark
ing that nobody for a moment entertained
the faintest suspicion that Governor Pin
gree was at any time cognizant Of the pur-
pose OF the conspiracy.
The order will have a strong bearing on
the case of Colonel Sutton. II is charged
that the order " as written by Colonel SUIT
cOunsel's Office. and that he persuaded the
Governor to sign it as a matter Of detail
without acquainting him with its purpose.

been spent TO no purpose.
Japan's attitude toward Western civil
zatiou is rather interesting from any point
of view. The little island nation has been
quite ready to try on any new intellectual
social or religious costume to which she
happened TO be introduced and some of the
agents for these commodities have made
the mistake of surposing that the Japa-
nose people were hungering and thirsting
TO be delivered from the bondage of an
Client customs and superstitions. and that
they were ready TO be made over as fast as
possible into the similitude OF Americans.
No greater mistake was ever made. Love
for the beautiful faith and literature OF Old

her people, and though they may expert

more would be sent 70 him. 1t was stated
that about $50 SURGEONS could attend to
the wants OF the sick and wounded and
that the reason for sending over new sur
geOns by every transport was that all the
contract surgeons are employed for one
year. and that many of them. whose con-
tracts had expired. were returning TO this
country Quite a number Of the contract
surgeons are also being given commissions

officers is now examining the candidates
at Manila, and as fast as their papers car
be made out they are being sent to the
