Summer Resort on the Arctic Shore

The suggestion Of villa on the Arctic
coast presents a certain attractiveness
when the thermometer stands in the
Dos on Broadway. Yet. fantastic as the
idea may seem, it is likely to become q
fairly ready possibility within n short
time. One can now go in all comfort to
Edmonton, in the Canadian Province Of
Alberta on the eastern slope of the Rock
les. The Canadian Northern Railway
Company now proposes the construction
of line from that point to Athabasca
Landing ninety miles northward. At
that point, barring carry or two around
the rapids, an open watercourse leads
to the mouth Of the Mackenzie River,
via the Great Slave Lake.
Canadas tide Of immigration and
settlement is already pushing rapidly
into that section, and the trading post is
being supplanted by the village with
schools and churches. Steamers now run
on the Peace River and the Mackenzie
and Slave Rivers. Two Touring mills
have been built this year on the Peace
River, and two new steamers are being
built to meet the demands Of the increas-
ing traffic. At Fort Vermilion. 700 miles

north Of the American boundary, fifty
barrel roller mill Is grinding wheat for
which it pays the farmers S1.50 a bushel.
This mill was established in 1885, and Is
no longer a mere frontier experiment.
There is another mill at Fort Providence,
on the Mackenzie River, $50 miles still
farther north. This is less than 400 miles
from the Arctic Circle. 1t is all hunt
er's and fishers paradise, and the climate
is very long way from uncomfortable
for an all-the-y ear-round residence. An
old explorer tells of riding through the
Peace River valley through grass so tall
that he could make its tops meet from
either side above and across his saddle
bow. This rivals the high grass OF the
central plains of Cuba.
Some day, probably not far distant,
railway will run direct from Winnipeg
into this valley and beyond it, only a
matter of couple of hundred miles, to
the Great Slave Lake, where connection
can be made with steamers running
to the mouth Of the Mackenzie. The
joke of the Edmonton people about
running down to the Arctic to their
suburban residences may have some
thing substantial behind it within the
next quarter Of century. The distance
is only about 1000 miles. With the COM
pletion, even now more than probable,
of a railway from Winnipeg to the Great
Slave Lake, new experience will be
opened up to the tourist, and the mouth
of the Mackenzie, on the Arctic shore,
may become popular summer resort.

and the social deficiencies Of men pro-
noted after years in the ranks offer no
problem which is not being solved by
the army to-day.
An enlisted man promoted as Capt
MORT suggests would have an official
social position recognized and respected;
his personal-social position would be
fixed in no long time, just as is that of
every officer, West Pointer, ranker I"
or civilian.
Summing up, Capt. MORT says: We
hold out advancement, but 10 the wrong
man; we offer to the old non-commis-
stoned officer the theory Of promotion
from the ranks, and debar him from the
fact; we promote the corporal of two
years service, and leave the sergeant
who counts fifteen years to content him.
self with the thought that enlisted men
can rise to be officers. We have the ma
chinery for making any desired number
of really excellent Second Lieutenants,
but we certainly have not now factory
or even fair-sized shop for turning out
experienced non-commissioned officers.
The suggestions are certainly of interest.

Non-C Officers and Com

Mont commissioned Officers and Com
missions.
The system Of promotion from the
ranks has existed in our army for so
many years that it Is accepted as one OF
the regular ways Of providing commits
stoned officers for our land forces, and
the yearly supply OF" rankers y is count
ed on with almost as much certainty as
are the West Point graduates. But
Capt. T. BENTLEY Mort, Artillery Corps,
Military Attache in Paris, offers reasons
for considering it to be ineffective so
interesting as to deserve examination.
The object sought in permitting the en-
listed men OF the army TO seek commits
sions, says Capt. Mort, is always said
to be "to obtain a superior class OF re-
cr,lits.' However, comparatively few
men enlist in the hope Of getting commits
sions, and II those fail to get them they
take their discharges as soon as possible,
and the army gets no further benefit Of
their training. II the present system
of promotion from the ranks were abol-
ished, the actual quality Of the service
would not suffer Not only does this
system bring In poorer class Of officers
than West Point can supply, but 1t dis
courages long service and does not pro-
duce the old-time non commlssioned
officers, KILLINGS backbone Of the
army" The commissions go as rule to
the men able to pass an examination, and
are expressly kept out OF the hands OF the
old soldiers, whose services might en-
title them to higher rank.
Capt. MORT would restrict commits
sions to enlisted men OF at least ten years
service, unless for some unusual act of
courage or extraordinary service, and
would limit the mental examinations to
the simple elements Of fair education.
Under such change in the law the good
soldiers, who now leave after three or six
years, would re-enlist, staying until they
were eligible for commissions, and mean
time would be the experienced nom
CONS" whose absence from any army
affects it for the worse; the others, lack
ing staying powers, would drop out.
Enlisted men thus promoted would still
have from fifteen to twenty years as
Lieutenants, and would retire as u rule
as Captains. The higher staff positions,
it is true, would be beyond them, owing
to their lack OF technical education, but
AS duty officers they would be in their
proper places, and as well qualified as
the men now promoted from the ranks.
Two questions arise in connection with
this plan: Would not the limited future
opened to such officers cause discomfort;
and would not their wives be out Of
place In the surroundings Of officers, and
so give rise to unfortunate social dis
tinctions? Capt. MORT answers both
questions in the negative. There is no
old non-commssioned officer in the army
to-day, he says, who would not DO glad
to be promoted Lieutenant, knowing
that he would have to retire as one after
fifteen years, with his old age assured;

Malicninx/the BronX =.

It had to come, although it was long
time coming criticism OF the Bronx
River, the pride of upper New York, the
gem of the old Westchester suburbs,
the picturesque. irregular, shallow, scenic
Bronx, one Typographical feature OF
upper New York which has appealed
alike to the artist, the student, the anti
ouarian, the sightseer and the amateur
photographer. The Bronx is not, as
American rivers go, formidable body OF
water separating large areas of shore
land. It's undoubted beauty at many
points adds little or nothing to the COM
mercial value of the neighborhood, but
Justice has been done by sympathetic
New Workers. to its characteristic charms,
a pretty stream, flowing past wooded
bank, in irregular course to the Sound.
But, as was inevitable with the large
increase of population in the borough
named for il, the little river at last comes
in for official criticism. In the last
report of the Geological Society the
disadvantages Of the Bronx, despite its
sylvan charms, are pointed out as serious
for a populated neighborhood. 1t is al
legged that the little stream during the
low-water period of summer has become
a menace to health. and that unless radi-
cal measures are taken to prevent its
pollution the Bronx may in short time
become a source of danger. The Bronx
does not overflow its banks in winter;
neither are those banks such that the
current in summer sufices, when there
is a diminution Of rain, to prevent the
exposure Of mud on each side.
What are the proposed radical meas
ures to be taken in the future for the
protection of health in the immediate
Bronx valley is not indicated, but there
can be no doubt that unitarian consid-
erations will divest it Of some OF its nat
ural charms, the pride Of many New
Workers. and the inspiration Of not a
few artists and poets.
