 Mir. Sanford reported that the ice was in fairly good condition. and that the dogs hit the trail in good old fashioned manner. The man was passed at Sel. kirk. The two came over the cutoff and travelled right Into White Horse, the ice along the shore being very firm.

WOULD ANNEX
 ALASKA
E. M. Barnes Hits P.-I. Edi-
 tor with Letter
Claims tho Stato of Washington Should Acquire Alaska for Gov ernmontal Purposes-Is Now only Bono for Politicians

F. NJ Barnes, a former attorney of this city. has sprung into prominence. in n small way in Seattle. He has written a letter to the Post-Intelligencer on the subject of annexlne Alaska to the state Of Washington.
 The letter Is as follows:
 Seattle. Wash. Dec. 2, 1901.
 To the Editor: Taxation without rep- resentation Is obnoxious to every form of American government. Alaska pays sum in licenses that may startle the average voter and has not so much voice in how it should be expended as has a citizen Of Washington: Is governed by officers in whose selection it has no word of choice; the laws made for it are made by men vt have neither interest in its welfare nor 1. .a what ls needed by it's inhabitants. American citizens are dis- franchiscd that Alaska may be boT" to be picked by politicians. Many of It's inhabitants are opposed to territorial form Of government. and for potent req sons. Can there be objection to Alaska becoming a part Of Washington?
 The state of Washington has at heart the good of Alaska. Seattle Is easier ol access to the whole of Alaska than is any portion of Alaska. The citizen of Forty Mile and Panama and of every portion of Alaska has as much right to a voice in his government as has the citi- zen In the southeastern district and bS havnlg the seat Of government in the state Of Washington he can SO have it.
 Alaska may not be able to support a government in itself but It's revenue will more than onset it's expense to the state of Washington. To litigants the pro cess of appeal Is SO tedious under the present laws as to be appalling. There ls no challenge to tho panel of a tury and the complaining witness may select the jury.
 think could give reasons ad Nbitum why t would be better for the moral.
 c'ai and hnanolal condition of the c't' zcns of Alaska to be made n part of the state of Washington. and I would re- spectfully call the attention of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to this subject. for what they undertake they do; and hope these brief views may lead to a discussion that will convince them that the annexation of Alaska to Washington Is both meet and proper.

rr,ot,opa, Ersc. of Trains on Air.

An exceptionally important paper
dealing with the fractional effect of
railway trains upon the air has recent
ly been published by the st. Louis
Academy of Science. This inxestiga-
ton was undertaken by Professor +.
e. Nipher, at the request of a leading
railroad, and was the sequel Of a law
suit in which the railroad was defeated.
In the case referred to a boy, standing
near the track, vas overthrown by a
rapidly passing train, rolled under the
wheels and killed. The evidence
showed that he was not struck by the
train, but was overwhelmed by the air
suction and dragged under. The SUI
preme court of Missouri, however, re-
undated the evidence of two leading
scientific men as to the probability OF
death being caused in such a way, and
denied, by inference, the possibility OF
such effects, with which everybody who
has ever stood by q fast moving train
is familiar. The investigation showed,
as a matter of fact, that with trains
going at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
there is an inward pressure of the air
of from four to six pounds per square
foot at a distance of 80 inches from the
train. and that still air is reached only
at a distance Of many feet.
