President Schurman. head Of a lead

dent of the first Philippine commission,
n he was in full enjoyment Of the
confidence Of the late President McKin-
ley. He a mad ample opportunities

says of President Schurman's opinion:
He asserts now that he believes the
late president really desired that the
Filipinos be given their independence. It
is certain that no public utterance Of
McKinley's was inconsistent Will this

ALASKA'S WATER POWER.
From the Report Of the l.. $. Geo
logical Survey.

Alfred H. Brooks. in charge Of the
work Of exploration and investigation
which the L. s. Geological Survey has
energetically carried on In Alaska, has
called attention TO the extensive water
powers existing in the southeastern
section Of the country, and the desr-
ability Of their investigation This
is the narrow portion Of the country
extending southwark along the Pacific
Coast, upon which Juneau Sitka and
! Skagway are located. or this section.
$4,000 square miles consists Of main
/ land and 1870 square miles Of islands,
! forming what Is known as the Alexan-
der Archipelago. The region is rapid
I ly forging ahead in the production Of
gold and copper, and promises to be
one Of the most important mining
centers in the country. Many Of the
low grade ores which are fOud here
occur in large bodies and can be work
! ed to advantage by making use Of the
excellent water powers which abound
! in the region The general topogra-
ply Of the country particularly favors
the DEVELOPMENT of water powers; high
land and lofty mountains are in close
proximity tn the coast from which
numerous streams, fed by an unusuIlv
abundant rain fall, rush to the sea with
heavy gradients. In addition to these
advantages, the character Of the
country Is such that the water powers
are often supplied from natural res
ervOirs. which add much to their
steadiness and. therefore. to their
value, In the southern portion Of the
belt more especially to theKetchikan
mining district the water powers are
available for the entire year, owing TO
the mildness of the climate, while in
the Juneau district, in the northern
part Of the belt they can be used for
about eight months.
1t is estimated that a preliminary
investigation Of this region could be
made in a month Ii include the region
around Ketchikan the mining districts
