Just Struck Town was the bill st
the Crawford theater last night This
play has considerable humor, there is
abundant opportunity Tor good acting and
the last act IS rather spectacular. The
last act. however, is about the only re-
deeming feature OF the show. The actors
are fairly good. but do not put life
enough into the play.
The management introduced a novelty

money was copper and not 4 very great
amount was thrown away. Il caused a

The Journal-Miner of Prescott

The Journal-Miner of Prescott,
Arizona, in a recent issue contained
n four column article on Valdez,
the copper country and the rail
road and claims to be the first pa
per in the United States to give n
detailed report of the wonderful
mineral resources of the Copper
river valley and of the project of
building n railroad to that section
from Valdez. 1t is certainly Il
great write-up. Some of the main
parts of the article are true that we
know of, and we hope that every
thing else the article mentions will
come to pass.
w. q. Luker has made one of the
most remarkable shipments ever
sent out of Alaska. 1t was a ship
ment OF Alaska grown vegetables
and grains, to be exhibited at the
Toronto Fair. The vegetables in
clude celery, rhubarb, lettuce. on
ions, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage,
rutabagas, potatoes, ETC., and-thc
grains consist of oats and wheat,
fully matured and of the best quail
ity, These were raised on the Yu-
kon near Dawson, and will be IA
great advertisement for Alaska.
Such exhibits will do great deal
towards bringing settlers to Alaska.
They speak for themselves, and
will impress upon the minds OF
Fasteners that Alaska is not IA
frozen wilderness, far better than
could be done in any other way.
Ina speech recently made by Gov
ernor Brady before the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, he said, al
ter referring to the agitation for
territorial governments:
"Now the really great thing to be
desired for Alaska ut this time is
an extension OF the land laws to the
territory. We can't own land and
We want to. When the mining
laws We're extended whereby you
can get as good title to mines in
Alaska as anywhere, the land laws
were omitted. Mining has gone
ahead and prospered and agricul-
ture fingered, There was provis-
ION ut the time for an eigiIty-acre
homestead, but as the land laws
were not made applicable no land
was ever taken up. We want set
tied communities in Alaska, FAM
lilies; and We can have them if we
can get the old donation laws ex-
tended.
Of the possibilities OF Alaska for
the stock raiser, l am more and
more impressed, l made fun OF
and scOlded the man who started
fox farm. Why didn't you bring
cattle and feed them the fine grass
growing about you? l said.
Throughout Southeast Alaska, the
kenai Peninsula and along the
coast and III the valley of the Yu-
kon grow grasses waist high. l be-
lieve that ii we conld care for the
grass that annually grows and
dies in Alaska we would make
better showing than our mining
output. The time will come l
think when Alaska will ship you
butter produced from her own
herds, fed on the grasses from her
own valleys"

DON'T WANT 1T.

The people on the Yukon are OPP
posed to territorial government
at present, and so are the inhabit-
ants of Nome.
In this entire district, excluding
southeastern Alaska, there is no
one who has expressed himself in
favor of territorial government
except local paper, and we
know what We are talking about
when we say that the expressions of
that paper on the subject do not
represent the opinions of the public
in this section.
As an evidence of the feeling in
regard to this matter on the
Yukon, we publish the following
editorial from the Rampant Forum:
"The newspapers of Southeastern
Alaska are devoting considerable
space to the agitation for a territor-
jal form OF government for Alaska,
and indulging in wealth OF acri-
mOniOus comment, for or against,
as the various scribblers are per-
sonally interested in the scheme.
Territorial government may be a
good thing for that section of Alas
ka, but we along the Yukon respect
fully dissent; it looks to us as Il
case Of the cart before the horse.
Let Congress provide sufficient
funds to survey the country, and
thus induce settlers to take up the
land, thereby giving a permanent
population. When this has been
done it is time enough to agitate
for territorial government, or even
statehood. The prosperity OF the
coast is dependent on that of the
interior and just as long as the in
terror is neglected, just so long will
our population be floating and mi
gratory. The shoulders of the coast
people will never be able to bear
the burden OF taxation necessary to
properly support a territorial gov
eminent without substantial assist
ance OF fairly well settled country
back of them"
President Roosevelt has been
making tour of the New England
states, and says that he will take il
trip to the Pacific coast next Spring.
He should be induced to come to
Alaska,
The city should put up street
lamps in the business portion or
fire limit. The stree are dark
and muddy, and the sidewalks I'M
even, and if the streets were lighted
it would be great convenience to
the public 1t would also add
greatly to the appearance of the
town.
Everyone should pay their poll
tax without hesitation. The town
is in need of money to grade the
streets, improve the appearance of
the town in many ways, secure fire
apparatus, build bridges, attend to
the sanitary condition of the citv,
and various other things, if we are
to have a clean, up-to-date city,
and these all take money. The two
dollars that you pay into the city
treasury will go toward the i'm
Provement of your property and
make Valdez Town that all will he
proud of, and this little tax should
be paid eheerfully.

Iroquois Club Gives Its Second Smoker
SATURDAY. Night

The Iroquois Club gave it's second smoker
Saturday evening. There was large gath
ering of members of the club and their
guests, who We're entertained with an un-
usually attractive program.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore of the weather bu-
reau presided and introduced the various
speakers, among whom were Representa-
tives Newlands of Nevada and Richardson
of Alabama. Several members of theatri-
cal companies that were in the city during
the past week contributed to the entertain
ment of the evening.
Mr.. w. H. Conley Of the Lafayette Stock
Company scored big success with tallxy
monologue and some clever personal ref
erences. Mr.. George O'Connor, the popu-
lar singer of coon ditties, had a brandnew
one. and it was we'll rendered. Prof Coda
played piccOlO solo with fine effect. A
bass solo was rendered by Mr.. Wolf One
of the most pleasing numbers of the even
ing was tenor solo by Mr. Alfred kappe-
Ter of the Denman Thompson company.
Mr.. Kappeler is a Washington boy. Mr..

Kansas river is the koon. situated near
Great Bend, Kan. This reservoir is now
IN course of construction. When comnlet ed
1t Will nave an area of over sixty square
miles and Will hold when full 49GS71 acre
1eet OF water, enough to cover 30 GOO acres
to depth of two feet. 1t is planned to
I'LL it from the flood waters of the Arkan
sas river, which will require a main canal
thirteen and half miles long. The land
which can be irrigated from this reser-
Nolr lies in three counties and has an area
or between 2Io.Gtn and 100000 acres II is
DeiieNed that the construction of these two
reservoirs VIII do much to relieve the fric-
tion which has existed between the states
or Kansas and Colorado over the division
OF water on the Arkansas river as it will
make II possible to utilize much of the flow
which formerly ran to waste
A reservoir at Wheatland: WYOMING
which cost 100000 to construct served to
lrr1gate 2.G,D acres of land In 1901 on which
the crops grown were worth $4,000 This
reservoir holds 2,100 acre-feet Without
1t the crops would have been a complete
failure; hence, the value per acre-foot for
last season was about SIT.
With results like these it Is not surprising
that reservoir construction should be re-
ce1ving marked attention.

IRRIGATION DOES
VALUE OF RESERVOIRS DEMON.
STRATED.
Statistics Being Collected Regarding
the Expenditure and the Benefits of
the Investments in the West.

The office Of irrigation Investigations OF
the Department of Agriculture has been
engaged during the past year in the col
lection Of statistics concerning the num-
Der Of reservoirs in use In the country for
purposes of irrigation. the amount of money
expended in construction and the benefits
derived.
One of the significant facts of recent ir-
rigation development has been the amount
of money expended in the construction of
reservoirs. Reservoir building is rivalng
canal building in its expenditures and is a
great Improvement over the latter In the
profits received from the investment. Ex-
perience has shown that many streams
fail just when water is most needed, and
that without a reserve supply the irrigator
Is in as much danger of drouth as his
neighbor who depends rain. Hence.
wherever there are favorable natural op-
portunities the farmers are building dams
and storing water for use when streams
are low AS a result of this the area cul-
tivated Is being increased and it is made
possible to grow much more diversified and
valuable crops.
Collection of Data.
The importance OF this development has
led the Office of experiment stations of the
Department of Agriculture to begin the col
lection Of data showing the location and
number Of these reservoirs and the bene-
fits which have come from their construc-
ton. This work is under the immediate e
erection OF the irrigation investigation Of

Law Should Give Wide Latitude.


The President might disregard the law
If he saw fit, or the Senate might refuse
it's confirmation of consuls nominated In
this manner. And yet it is hardly likely
that q law voluntarily passed by the Sen
ate and signed by the President would be
thus disregarded, and as evidence Of the
Senate's concurrence In the plan a law
thus passed would have some advantages
over a mere executive order. Such a law,
however, ought to give the widest latitude
to the executive department of the govern
ment for framing the rules regulating ad-
missions to the service. in much the same
way that the civil service act gives the
broadest latitude to the President and the
commissioners for the framing or rules to
carry 1t into effect.
There are now two bills pending before
Congress for the classification Of the con-
sular service, one introduced by Senator
Lodge and the other by Representative
Adams. At least one Of these bills has
the support of some Of the most important
commercial organizations Of the country.
About forty of the leading cities OF Amer
lea have. through their boards Of trade. for
mally advocated the classification Of the
consular service. 1t was only week ago
that their representatives appeared before
the House committee in support Of legisla-
tion upon this subject. No persons realize
better than the leaders of our commercial
development the necessity Of a reorganiza-
ton Of our consular service.
Both bills provide for the great essential
of what is now known as the merit system,
and that is appointment through examina-
items, which are to be competitive. There
may be doubt whether either of these bills
will become law at the present session of
Congress, but l think there is not much
doubt that the principle which underlieS
them the competitive examination test, will
at some time or in some way, either by
law or by executive order, be established
as the essential basis of our consular ser
