in a letter to a friend. dated at Maiden
head, England. dropped a postscript which
has turned the tide in the affairs of a
beautiful young Virginian and caused her
to abandon literature. in which she has al

Very naturally. the friend was not long
in making this confidential observation
known, with the result that 1t soon reached
the ears Of the young lady concerned.
It was the one word spoken that con-
ffrmed a belief long dormant in her own
mind and stimulated a growing assurance.
Although Miss Rives was then In the very

A Good Prophet.

If our readers will refer back to the PRospnroR of Jan. l, they will find a communication from AM. Edwards, who was at the time in Washington, in which he makes the prediction that the delegate bill would not pass stthat session, and that the amendment to the code.providing for change in divorce laws, enlargimg the powers of mum icipal corporations and providing for private incorporation would be passed. He, also said the land law wonld undoubtedly pass. It seems that Judge Edwards is q good prophet, for his predictions have come true to the letter.

good-being less than 52 degrees of north latitude; the climate is beautiful and the harbor is accessi- ble all the year around. But one Oi the most important features is that the south coast of Alaska has unlimited fields of very fine coal suitable for making steam. Large tracts of this coal, is close enough to the proposed station to keep it well supplied, and while the ship ping interests would be vastly benefited, Alaska, along the coast, would assume new proportions, for with such a market within our borders, coal properties that are now ignored would be eagerly taken up and operated, thus form ing new settlements; and from every new settlement prospectors
 would spread out in quest of new resources and they would get them, for Alaska is great stOrehouse of natural wealth, only awaiting de- velopment. Give us chance at the market and we'll do the rest.
 Very few who have not visited Alaska have any idea of the re- sources from which it may draw in making show at the worlds fair, and that is precisely why the exhibit is so necessary and why it should he as complete and impress sive as possible, says the Detroit Tribune. A tuppenny Alaskan booth, with some furs, some ores, some lumber and q few Eskimos and Indians would attract little
 notice, and have almost no educa- tional value; whereas a truly rep resentatiye collection of her pro- ducts, properly displayed and ap- propriately housed, would compel attention by creating surprise. Even the man in the streets knows about her gold, her salmon and her sealskins, but how many men in q hundred know of her copper, her iron, her coal,- her tin, her silver, her crude oil, her hemlock, her spruce, her cedar, her potatoes, cabbages, turnips, lettuce, radishes, celery, oats, rye, barley, wheat and flax and her truly wonderful grasses. How many of us have ever realized that her timber re- serves will one day supply the western hemisphere or that she has millions of acres of rich farming lands awaiting cultivation? .'l9

In another column is published an interview with Prof. c. C. Georgeson, special agricultural agent for Alaska, in which he speaks very highly of the agricul- tural possibilities of Alaska. Prior to his appointment to his present position he was professor of agri- culture in the Kansas State Agri- cultural college, and is a man of wide experience in all things per- taining to farming, so that his statements regarding the future of this country for farming and stock-raising are of particular in- terest now that settler can acquire land here. There is an opportunity in the Copper river valley for thousands of families to make good comfortable homes for themselves. Hundreds of tons of hay and grain are annually taken over the sum mits to the interior by the prospec- tors and miners. The expense of moving this feed along the trail is extreme, and the farmer that can supply these parties with hay or grain at Tonsina, Copper Center, kotsina or at any point along the road to the mines, will receive a price that would make an eastern farmer think the millennium had come. There is a good and rapidly increasing market for beef at the mines and roadhouses. Potatoes would find a ready market. In fact there are dozens of ways in which farmer could make money enough to live well and build up a comfortable home for his family.
 Almost every day small parties are leaving Valdez for the Panama diggings. The trail is good one and anyone who has travelled the Copper river country look upon the trip as an ordinary affair. Most of those who are now on the trail have gone light, as tley can live at first-class roadhouses for one hum dred and sixty-four miles of the route. Going thus, they can make very fast time and reach their destination in 20 days or less, as the distance from Valdez to the diggings is about 40 miles, or about 100 miles less than from Dawson to the diggings.
 Of course man who is located at Dawson and desires to reach the diggings has no other alternative than to go down the stream, but a. man leaving the states for the Tanana, and going by way of Skagway to Dawson, and then down the river. is heaping up an unnecessary expense and subject ing himself to the annoyance of British customs officials. and after : reaching Dawson he will still have 2 a longer distance ahead of him than he would if he had come direct to Valdez f '- 9' .,, During the past winter the mail carriers leaving shere with the mail flor the Yukon reach the Panama on an average 'of from Il to l2 days; shds in the summer they. make it in about the. same time with:Pack animals.
