Alaskan Signal Service.

The annual report OF General AW.
Greeley, chief signal officer of the
army, says the corps have built and
put in working order in Alaska ll2l
miles of land lines and submarine
cables within a period of twenty-four
months. The accomplishment of such
results, he says, would be most cred
liable to officers and men concerned
therein if Alaska was an ordinary
country, for this work included not
only surveying, construction and in
stallation of its length Of line, but
also involved the manufac ture and in
spection Of enormous quantities Of
material, instruments, etc, many
hundred tons in weight, and their
transportation over distances rang
ing from four to seven thousand miles.

No Strike on the -. l..

Railroad men and officials now say
that the danger of great Southern
Pacific strike has been averted. 1t
is given out with what appears to be
a Show of authority that the request
of the union men for an increase of
wages is to be acceded to, at least in
part, There has never been a strike
on this railroad that originated in
trouble between the company and its
men, even the great strike of 1894
being entirely a sympathetic move
ment. Both the Southern Pacific
and the unions seem DESTROYS of keep
ing this record clean.

Educated and Worthless,

1t does not speak well for the
education given to the Indians, when
an agent on a reservation can make
the report that Mr.. Erwin does.
He is in charge of an Indian reser-
walton in Oklahoma in his official
report he says that the educated
Indian is the most worthless Indian
of the whole tribe. 1t is scandalous
that this should be so. An education
that units anyone, Indian or white,
for the life that is before him, is
worse than waste, and borders close
upon criminal meddlesomeness in the
guise of mercy, Surely the Indian
ought either to be improved or let
alone, so far as the Government is
concerned.

study OF the Grand Canyon.

The United States Geological sur
vey is making a detailed topographic
map Of the wonderful Grand Canyon
II the Colorado in Arizona, The first
of the series Of atlas sheets to be
issued, on a scale Of one mile to the
inch, will Toe available next summer.
A preliminary announcement states
that the dimensions Of the Grand
Canyon have been the subject of
much discussion since it was first eX-
plorcd. 1t may therefore be Of inter
est to give some figures taken from
Ibis new survey The average width
from rim to rim does not exceed ten
miles throughout the kaibab, or the
widest section of the canyon, and
frequently narrows down to eight
miles. The river does not occupy
the middle of the gigantic trough,
but flows at u distance varying from
one to three miles from the south
side. Practically all of the magnif-
cent sculptured pinnacles and mesas
(the so.called temples lie north of
the river, and at distances Of five to
seven miles from the view points
usually visited by tourists
The depth of the Grand canyon in
one way has been overstated, in
another undcrstated. Measured from
the south rim the total depth is con-
siderably less than mile. From the
rim at the Bright Angel hotel, where
the altitude is 1856 feet above sea
level, to the highwater mark of the
river at the foet of the tourist trail,
the drop is i430 feet The highest
point on the south rim at the Grand
View hotel is 1896 feet, about 1900
feet above the river. From the north
side, however. the drop to the water
level averages considerably over
mile, and in many places even eX-
ceeds 5000 feet. 1t may be stated in
a general way that the north rim is
from 1000 to 1900 feet higher than
the south, thus producing that high,
even skyline so striking in all views
obtainable by the tourist. The fig
ures here given are based on spirit
levels run in connection with the map
work, They are the first that have
ever been run to the bottom of the
chasm, and the high standard of
accuracy maintained throughout will
cause them to be considered author
itative and final.
