 Now 1t is different; the country has been thoroughly explored. trails lead in every direction, road houses with coWl accomm,alutio ions are established along the principal trails, telegraph stations may he met at regular intervals across the country, and the trails are D'a-sal!e all the yoar round owing to the amount of constant travel. From now on four mails month will be carried between here amd Yukon and Panama points. and the gov ernment will he busy for the resi- of the season hauling in supplies to the stations. Many prospecting outfits have been taken in this sea- son. and the snow and ice trails arc reported as in excellent condi- tion. All of which goes to assure stranger arriving in Valdez that he will have no difficulty whatever in finding his way to the interior.
 In Valdez he will find an accom- modating class of people who are willing to give him any informa- tion required. If unfamiliar with life in this northern country and in doubt as to what outfit is ncces- sary, he will find here as good stores as can be fouod anywhere. with an unlimited supply of goods of all kinds and sold at reasonab bic prices. Our merchants are all fam illar with the wants of a traveller and the prospector, miner, or ex- pert who purchases here will have nothing to throw away on the trail, :, as too often happens when new arrival brings his outfit from the states.
 A large influx of people will go through here this season bound for Nizina, Chesna, Slate, Fairbanks Shuthitna and other points. and the merchants are fully prepared to supply all their wants.

Will Come to Fort Liscum.

Lieut.. Leonard T. Baker, who has been in command of Company NJ, of which he is the first lieuten- ant, has been ordered to report to Fort Liscum for temporary duty. IL is probable that he will remain there until spring. It is thought the order was made on account of the scarcity of officers at Liscum. Lieut.. Baker will be attached to Company ], Thirteenth infantry, at Fort Liscum, which is at Valdez. Alaskan.

Access into the interior of Alaska via Valdez is each year becoming an easier matter. At the present time a man thinks nothing of talk ing a trip from here into the Cop per river country with a load and back, which he can do in a few days, whereas in the rush of '9S the people left here early in March, and but few of them reached the Copper river until the following winter; it actually took the major ity of the 5000. or more, that land- ed here that season from 40 to 50 days to cross the glacier, feat that can be accomplished now in a week or less.
 At that time Thompson pass, ov- CT which the government trail has since been constructed, was un- known but since it's establishment it is almost exclusively used bv those going to the interior, either with or without freight, and it,is crossed in very quick time.
 The difference is probably due to the fact that in '9S great uncer- tainty existed. and no one was fam iliar with the prevailing conditions. Probably not one in the outfit had ever run up against q glacier be- fore; dogs and horses were scarce, SD taat men of all trades and pro- fessions met on an equal footing. They were forced to put the sled rope across their chests and haul loads all day long. The uncer- tainty consisted in the fact that they were entering an entirely un- explored country, nothing was known of any route nor oi the na-

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

EDITOR ALASKA PRospEcToR. .- Af- ter considerable discussion in local papers, pro and con. of the territor- ial form of government for Alaska :; after a summer spent by the Sena- torial committee. visiting principal settlements and towns. and after so-styled Ala>kans representing different sections of the District have gone to their homes in differ ent states, let Us consider ques- tion or two concerning existing conditions prevalent and future needs. at least in the middle and western parts of Alaska.
 It is conceded by almost all thoughtful men that we need i'm migration of desirable white men and their families into this coun- try, and establishment of pesman- ent homes amidst us by them. It is admitted also, that some of our vast natural resources, for lack of capital. are almost untouched.
 In view partly, of attracting i'm migration. and for the benefit of the present population, land laws were enacted. But so far no desir- able effect has been brought about; and naturally it could not be other wise so long as our neighbOring states are not overpopulated.
 Only few years ago no one ever thought oi Alaska as an agrii,j- tural country, but now it is demon- strated positively that certain hardy grains and vegetables grow and mature.
 Through the course nf time and change of conditions Alaska will not he lacking in numbers of per manent white settlers; and through industry, intelligence and hard work, in the near future, We will be able to develop our resources and create markets for our agricultural produce. In the meantime let us be watclful and always on the alert to obliterate an evil in its in ception or give encouragement to a good.
 The natives, who constitute the majority of permanent settlers. are nearly all adherents of the Rus sian "rthodox church, and are dom ineered in certain matters very ei- fectively by Russian priests.
 The majority of white men con stituting the minority of the per manent settlers in western Alaska are married to native women. The offspring of such unions are almos. invariably brought up in the belief of the Russian religiOn-and what is the outcome? It is this: We find in the natives and young grow ing-up generation loyal subjects of the Czar
 From reports of American mis- sionaries We glean that it is believ- ed by the natives of the Aleutian islands that they are under the rule of the Czar. Around Bristol bay the teaching of the English language and American ways to natives is prohibited by priests and tyones (of course not openly.)
 In kodiak, as it was reported not 90 very .lnn., since. the priest had the aNdacitys to display a Rus sian flag elfsor of the Czar.
 Ina parish choois the children areMhgRt fro@ text books pub lished under the supervision of holy censorship Russia, intended to direct youhs sMinds to be loyal subjects of the Car, and are not adapted to create patriotic. liberty loving citizens of our country.

swelled to fully 10000 persons. thronged
into the church and stood uncovered In the
vast nave facing the loggla above the bronze
doors and there awaited the appearance OF
the PontiT TO give his first benediction to
the world. Then a peculiar thing hap
pened.
There is strong significance attaching TO
the spot chosen for this function. It was
the ancient custom before the Pope was
deprived of temporal power for the new
PontiF to appear outside and bestow his
blessing upon the whole world. Since the
head Of the Church became the prisoner Of
the Vatican he has pronounced benedictions
only within the basilica. II, therefore.
Plus X. should extend his hand In blessing
over Rome without st. Peters IL would
seem to signify new attitude OF tho Church
toward the State.
1t seemed at first as though the initial
action Of the new Pope would be radical
departure OF this nature. A uniformed
official appeared on the inner loggia and
motioned to the crowd TO go outside.
A rush followed. It was marvellous that
no one was injured in the mad scramble.
No sooner was Tho multitude assembled
outside than an official on an outer balcony
signalled for it to return.
What did It mean7 Wasi 1t vacillation on
tho part Of the new Pontif? His character
and reputation did not justify such sup
position.

struegle back into the cathedral. In ten

DETECTIVES RIGHTLY ELECTED
From the "Duoes Tecum" Club, which They
Took 10 he Place to Lose Money.

Detectives Donohue and Zenedosius were
sent yesterday by Capt. O'Connor OF the
Tenderlon station to get evidence against
an alleged poolroom at so West Thirty fifth
street. The place goes by the name Of the
Duces Tecum Bring with-you) Club. The
detectives got there at 3 O'Clock, and were
admitted by James Kennedy Of 500 Ninth
avenue, sergeant -at arms" of the club.
They sat for while in the front room, where
there ia a pool table, and then Kennedy
approached them and rather roughly
injured their business. They replied that
they were detectives, and he ordered them
out OF the place They refused to go, and
with some assistance Kennedy managed
to eject them. Then they put Kennedy
under arrest, and took him Immediately
before Magistrate Flammer in the Jefferson
Market police court. When the Magistrate
had heard their story, he said:
What this man did was perfectly right
and proper. You had no right in there
without warrant. remember a pre-
cisely similar case in Broadway short
time ago. The way to get these places,
if this really was a pooIroom, is to
gather your evidence and then get a war
rant. When you were requested to go
you should have done so.
The case was dismissed.
In answer TO questions later, Magistrate
F'lammer said:
"Yes, they had perfect right to throw
them out, head, neck and heels
