The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has bought from Mr.. Lee
NJ Bender a strip of land a mile and
a quarter long extending along the
south side of the main tracks between
Fauver and Martinsburg. The compa
ny has had an option ON this strip of
land for sometime and the deal for the
transfer of it has been closed. A new
track to extend from Fauver to the
"Y'' will be built on the land for the
handling of the additional freight to
be brought here after September l.
Other tracks have been built ON the
other side of the main tracks on the
eompany's ground, but there was not
room enough without the purchase of
the additional ground for the building
Of the additional long siding. The
work on the improvements is now
progressing rapidly. Over two hun
dred men are now at work.
Ash dumps have been constructed
along the tracks opposite the cannery
and big water tank has been built
on the ground between the tracks of
the 'Y'''. The tank will be supplied

A Theory That President
 Knows About Alaska.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Presldent Roose- welt has manifested active interest In Alaska, and has expressed determination to provide service In the territory that shall compare more tavordbly with con- dltIons nearer home. The first step to transfer Judge Wlekersham to Nome In place of Judge Moves
 The appointment of D. H, Jarvis as col leetor of customs was furtheL recognition ot integrity and fitness, and was the result of the presidents belief that tte territory needs a thorCu.h reorganization.
 The Alaska customs district Is many times larger thsn av other in the United States. This has recently become fully recognized as sfordlng difficulties in ad- mlnistratlon which do not exist elsewhere. Besides the main office at Stka, which is a comparative unimport nt point So far as customs Is concerned, there are seventeen snrb r,S and customs stati nS in ihe dis til,t. Ines, are scattered over territory m nv thousands of square miles in extent.
 The aggregate collections in'the Ala'ka customs district Inst v.ar WIS s?o c26.
 IL Is proposed to give Collector Jarvis the utmost limit of power and influence. He will probably make . complete tour of the supports each ve r, and his thorough aclullntance with conditions and persoi S will enable rim 10 provide a better at' mlnistration than has ever been known in Alaska.
 What changes will follow Collector Jarvis advent in Alaska next spring Is uncertain.
 A member Of the cabinet quoted Presi- dent Roosevelt .as saving appropOs of JIr- vls' appointment, that he believed the re- form in Alaska affairs should be begun by appointing one man (Mr. Jarvls), whose integrity Is such that his administration need not be questioned by the government, even lf deluge of charges Is made against him. "Ha,ing appointed such a man" continued the president, i've have a nucleus around which we can build pure and efficient administration. ."-wllter E. Clark, in P. l.

The Wd Goose Company Expect to Have It in Operation
 By July |, Next
WHAT IT MEANs FOR TNlS SECTlOH
S in tail Finishing Touches Now Being A!achinery-- The Has a Capacity of Nearly
 Million Daily,

By July l, ueXi, the big pumping plant of the Wild Goose Mining and Trading Company on Snake river will, it is expected, be in operation.
 The huge machinery is now all in place and the finishing touches are be- ing added, such as putting the asbestos packing around the pipes, and attend ing to other minor details. The pipe which will convey the water to the neighboring hills and gulehes, of course, has yet to be put together, but it is stretched along the route which will be followed, and the work of putting il to- gether will not consume a great deal of time The work will Ee commenced as soon as the snow has disappeared from the tundra.
 From the pumping station the pipe line will extend to the head of Cooper gulch, and probably thence easterly to Dry creek, and from there over the hill 10 theAiattie clain, above Anril creek, d distance of about eight miles from the pumping station
 The pipe line will carry about l2 sluice heads of water. and this fact may serve to give faint idea of what the gold output this yearwill be from the section which the line will cover. It will give an immense impetus to the mining industry. and vast area of ground, which hitherto could not be worked because of lack of water, will be made productive.
 The pumping station of the Wild Goose Company willcost when in oper- ation something like $i00,000, an enormous sum in itself. and it illustrates } the faith that d practical mining man like Charles D. Lane has in this country. He is not visionary, by any manner of means. but a practical hard-headed mining man, with the fore sight and ability to grasp a situation. It was his intention to commence the erection of the plant in the summer of l9OO but various, circumstances com bined to prevent the beginning of the work until July t, when the work of excayating for d foundation was under taken, the foundation being commenced in September following. This is of solid cement. IS feet deep, 26 feet wide and 80 feet long, covering practically the entire building.

The pumping capacity of this plant is 4.50o,O0o gallons daily, with 7S5-foo, head. The machinery is of the most approved design. the engine being the ltiedler pattern, manufactured by Fraser X Chalmers, of Chicago, the well-knOwn manufacturers of mining machinery.
 Tine water will be taken direct from Snake river, and as soon as the snow las disappeared the work of connecting the pipe from the river to the plant will be commenced. On the bank of the river q centrifugal pump will also be erected, by which the water will be | pumped direct to the station, to again ! be distributed oyer the neigh boring country, or wherever needed for mining purposes.
 The greatest care has been taken in the erection of the machinery. All the labor saving appliances arc connected with the machinery, iacMding aute matic oil feeders. The boiler room cunl ains three huge boilers encased in 1 brick as are also the furnaces and here. too, everything has been arranged with an eye t0 economy as well &s efficiency in the operation of the big plant.
 The plant as it now stands prcSen q massive appearance bewildering to the person who has little or no idea of machinery in all it's complexity. yet every part is perfect. ever to the oil feeders and cups which do their duty automatically. distributing oil to the vast machinery when and where needed.
 The work nas been under the ilnme- diate supervision of General Mana ger l.. l..

N. Monroe, ! H. A. Ln.alls, Jack Cahill, and Michael GaIney.
 The work has been quietly pursued all winter, and it will he, as has already been remarked, revelation to many people, when the big pumping plant shall have started it's operations, thus opening up scores of nev claims and furnishing employment to hundreds oi miners.

1t Is Claimed, Lies in Defeat
 of President Roosevelt.
RUPTURE WILL C0ME:
With the Attempt of the Senator to Pass His Ship Subsidy Bili-The President Will Permit No Favcr;t-
 ism to Certain Glasses of Builders.

Washington. Jan. 21.-The most astuie politicians here forsee an inevi- table split between Senator Hanna and President Roosevelt. This will be due not to any personal friction, but the logical attitude of the president on the subject of ship subsidy.
 Senator Hanna will stand by the pro posed bill of last year. which was so emasculated in the -enale that he did mot know his own measures when honest senators got through with it.
 President Roosevelt will have no dis thonesty or favoritism to certain classes of shipbu1ders and ships. He takes however. the broad ground that the merchant marine may be fostered if necessary to keep pace with the ex- banding resources of the government and to put the United States on a parity with the greatest commercial carriers by sea in the world.
 President R0osevelt's idea affects the general prosperity of the country: Senator Hanna's is for the greatest amount of emolument that can be dragged out of congress for the lines in which he is interested. The bill of last year showed on it's face that it was not intended for the benefit of American commerce, but for few ship owners.
 There will he senators on guard, however, who will represent the idea of the White House. That there will be d clash is certain. and senators who know Hanna are aware that it can only ~eid in q b. tier fight between the pirates in charge of the new bill and the .freEd, of President Roosevelt Tn the
