ters OF general detail, such as the limits
within which the ''enemy's" ships may
attack, the selection of q commander for
the "enemy's' force. and the selection Of
the slips which will compose the at
tacking squadron.
An interesting part OF the work In both
sets OF maRouvres will be that assigned
to the "umpires." Officers will be as
signed to each of the ships in the naval
manouvres, and to both ships and fortt-

cision in the greater manouvres as TO
whether the arm OF the navy has been
victorious will be rendered by board Of
high ranking officers from both branches
OF the service. probably headed by Ad-
miraI Dewey
The task of the Individual judges win
not be an easy one. for the entire
scheme OF the exercises Is to be based on
pr bility. For instance. a battleship

forts In the dead OF night A searehiight
flashes out into the hiackness from the
fort, finds her and the gunners ashore
traih their big weapons to blow her out
Of the water. Did the searcblight IND

work If 1t had been resi- war? Were the
guns In the fort trained on her with the
requisite precision. or can she be consid-
cred as having run the gauntlet and as

RECOMMENDS CHANGE.
Secretary Wilson Recommends Amendment of Land Laws
 for Alaska.

Az a result oi investigations made hy the Agriculturni ih.par..- : ,ncn,. Secretary Wilson $ of iir opinion tliai stock raising and farming can lr carried on quite successfully in many sections oi Alaska. The secretary has -o ad- vi-cd senator Foster. and has indi- eaicl that he will cooperate in ,ir,
 matter nj grazing cattle and farm ing in Alaska. In letter to Sen a,"r Foster on the subject Secretary Wilson says:
 "l agree with you fully in im opinion that i, is q matter oi grta, and growing importance that some arrangement, should hc made for the opening of the country for stock raiscrs and farncr-.'
 Continuing. Secretary Wilson states tl,a, he fully agrees with senator Foster that the develop menu oi Alaska i> oi much impor- tancc to the growth of the Pacific Northwest. He adds: The entire nation will he l~ncfi,tcd hy it. It appears to me that the surcSi way To promote this development Is to >o amend the homestead laws thai bona tide settlers can take up l60 acres. or better still. 32O acres. un- der proper restrictions. but without cost oi any kind for the land. IL i> the influx oi people that will create business: and it is the work of the pioneer that will develop the territory. There can he no influx rnf people and no marked develop n,cnt of industries until Congress makes il possible for pioneers to get land al a nominal cost. The expenses necessary To reach Alaska are >o great that poor men cannot go. there and procure land and meet the expenses necessary to secure title under the existing law.
 IL is estimated hy the experts of this department that 2uW.MW can each be supplied with 220 acres oi
 land suitable for pasture and
 farming. The development of the
 agricultural resources oi the terri
 tory is, in my opinion. necessary
 before the fisheries. mining and
 lunibering interests can le full Y de- velol"d. and Congress holds the key to the situation.

Judicial Districts Changed.

The judicial districts of Alaska are about to he changed. and the boun'laries will be much better an,l more convenient in every way for both courts and litigant,.
 The new bill place, Valdez in the third division, instead of in the first, as would be inferred iron, a description oi the boundaries published in a local paper recently.
 The new law provides that the first division will embrace all that portion of Alaska east oi the 14lSt degree of west longitude. This in- cludes all oi southeastern Alaska. and will in itself make large dis trict for one court, on account of the number of towns. The second division embraces that part of AL aska described as follows: All the territory west, northwest and north of Il line commencing at the mouth of the Colville river on the north coast of Alaska. following up the Colville to where it crosses the l54th meridian line the second time, thence following the l54th merid- ian south to the west side of Tah- tankella mountain and the Yukon river. thence in a sOutheasterly di- rectiOn to the western side of Mt, Mckinley, thence sOuthwesterly to the most northerly point of Lake Clark, thence along northwest side , of Lake Clark to the Goth degree oi north latitude to kuskOkwim bay. This division includes all of the mainland west of said bay and all islands north of 59 degrees north latitude. The remainder of the territory is in the third division This includes the Alaska peninsula the gold districts of the upper Yu- kon, and the vast copper and gold fields of the Copper river valley The only town in this division that is easy of access at any time of the year, is Valdez, and there is nc doubt but that it will be made tn, headquarters of the third division This law, if passed, goes into ei- feet July 1.

VIII p the greatest and grandcst Worlds Fair that was ever contemplated. IL will be twice as large as any former international exposition, Some thing oi it's magnitude may he im- agincl from the following compari- sons.
 The Centennial at Philadelphia covered 226 acres. the Paris expo si'ion ;;;36 acres, ihr Columbian ex- position at Chicago 633 and the Pan-Amcrican at Buffalo $50 acres. The St. Louis Worlds Fair will cover 200 acres. The cost at Par is was $9,WW,WW, q, Chicago SIS. 222,OD. at Buffalo $lO,OOO,OOO. At Sr. Louis il will be 4O.OOO.OOO.
 There will probably be the lar ge>t concourse of people at this exposition that ever beiOre assem- blrd at any public occurrence in the United States.
 Alaska should by all means have A fine exhibit pf our minerals and other products at st. Louis. It will be the grandest opportunity to ad- Il ,.,I many resources. that we have ever had, and will do more to attract people and capital to Alaska, thereby promoting the develop meDt of our country. than could be done perhaps hy the expenditure of vast sums of money.
 Governor Brady has wisely rec commended in his annual report that Congress appropriate $lOO,OOO for an Alaska Exhibit at St. Louis. and it is to be hoped the recom- mendation will be approved and the appropriation made.
 The people of Alaska should com menee immediately to make pre- paration for this exhibit. Even should Congress make the appro- priation recommended, that will not he enough. Every town, dis trict and mining camp should con- tribute funds, the very best miner al specimens obtainable and any .of the products of the country that would be beneficial. and help in the advertising of the country.
 Valdez must be represented and 1t is not too early now to commence gathering specimens for our exhibit. Copper and gold specimens should be gathered up this summer in large quantities. and it. would he we'll for the Chamber of Commerce to take up this matter immediate ly and make arrangements will, those going inside to send out their best specimens.
