 Banley brought the paper to me and pointed out the item with a trembling forennger.

 What Banley said was true No. 3i had pulled out Of the Junction that Monday morning with twelve box cars. four flats loaded with ties and the ca bOose. IL Is a steady climb for twelve mlles at that end, when a trains nose Is pointed Inward, as the boys say, and the last five miles of the stretch are the sharpest grade on the run. At Morton, seven miles up, Tom had in dulged in his regular morning spar ring match with the station agent, and the station agent had knocked his pipe from hls mouth. In reward for which achievement Tom had made him free gift of the pipe. Two miles farther on the accident occurred.
 The train was pulling and grooming up the hill at a rate of about ten miles an hour. The brakeman was sitting on the tender. exchanging jokes with the fireman Tom was in the caboOse alone. busy with some report blanks. The thought occurred to him presently that somet-,ng was not exactly right. He was conscious. he said afterward. of a sensation similar to that of being ln a balloon. The sound of the pulling was gradually becoming less distinct. The forward "pull' was gone!
 Before be had fully aroused himself the caboose stopped and slowly began lo run backward. Then he understood plainly enough what had happened He rushed frst to one platform. then to the other, setting the brakes, but the cabOose. with two heavily loaded cars behind it. did not stop. He hurried out bo set the brakes on the cars, but found that on one the ties had joted down against the rod so that be was unable to turn 1t, while on the other the brako was a "freak"-lt would not set tight

NO BIDS
Government Fails to Get
 Surveys.

The surveyor general got only one bid in response to the call for offers to do the first piece of field surveying un- der the term of the new Alaskan land laws. and that bidder,-A JudSon Adams, of Valdez convinced the sur veyor general that he could not do the work at the price bid and got the same withdrawn. The reason for this failure was the fact that the maximum amount allowed by the government is insuihci- ent Co do the work.
 The work in question was the location of a meridian from which to make sur veys. The meridian Co be established was in the Copper river region, and was to be known as the Church Mountain meridian.
 Among those who were requested Co bid on this work was Elias Ruud, of Skagway. He declined for the reason that s25 per mile was insufficient io do , the work.
 The government has how requested bids at a stated sum per day, the sum to include an expenses. This, too, is difficult bid to make, and it is not gen. orally believed that it will be more successful than the other in getting bids.

CHANCE LAW ONLY

The charge has been made that the purpose Of the proposed Alaska Citi- zens' League Is Co organize the people for the purpose Of detyiug the law and those who are commissioned Co enforce it. The Daily Alaskan does not believe the charge rests upon truth. Such an organization could not thrive among the people of Alaska, and che character Of the citizens who have proposed the organization gives the lie to such charge. The people Of Alaska have no complaint Co make, and can have none, ifthose who are sworn Co enforce the law perform their duty.
 While there are times when a people is justified iu deiying the enforcement Of laws. iu the making of which they have had no part, the time is no, Che present. so far as Alaska is concerned, at least The people Of this district have never in anything like an em- phatic manner demanded ot congress the recognition of their right to make their own laws. In fact, many Of those people who cry the loude,t because Of the irksomeness Of the laws tn force In this north country, are also the strong est opponents Of seltgoyerument we have. There can, under no circum- stance, be any sympathy with them. As long a, they want congress aS their law making power, so long must they expect Co obey the law, provided for them by it. Gt would be different ii the people ot the district had been pe- titioning and clamoriug for seitgoyern- ment at che hands of congres, and had been refused their right. It Alaskans had been standing upon their rights as Americans, and had their appeals for seltgovernmeut denied them, and it a determination had been shown on the part Of congress Go continue Co refuse Co grant the demands, then there would be just cause Co defy congress. and those who would enforce its law. and appeal Co the American people But such conditions do no, exist here The people have only themselves Co blame for an that has been done 10 them. They are getting the just desert of those who refuse Co ask for theiruatural rights, of those who prefer humiliation to themaiuteuance oi their >elf-rcspect.
 Those who have proposed thc Alaska Citizens League os ou organization through which che people can speak as a unit Co congress, understand these conditions. They know that defiance of laws would not loo justified under the circumstances, and they are citizens who will do uo act which shall not be fu.f

 THE TRICK THAT ,. BARRY DID '
BY DAVID X. TALMADae
i90i, by D, IT. Talmdd0s

Tom Barry. conductor of train No. s4, a freight which leaves Goose River Junction each morning, running the devious length of branch to Dorling- ton. and returns each night, is a man marked among his fellows. There arc several reasons for thls. although one is sufficient to prove the statement he has never yet been known to lose hls self possession. To quote Banley, who Is the poet as well as the engineer of No. 34. "he never rattles though all the world may shake" which is put ting it pretty strong, as any reasonable person will readily admit
 It goes without saying, therefore. that Tom Barry Is man of nerve. His acqualntances will tell you sto- ries if given half a chance which make the records Of a score of gilt laced soldiers whom l might mention pale Into the most siekly inslgnifcance. Yet I suppose the space his exploits have occupied in the newspapers would not exceed sixteen inches in its entire ty. The only mention, for instance, of the exploit known on the branch as the affair of the circus special was this item in the Darlington Gazette:
 "we hear that the morning train broke In two shortly after leaving the junction Monday of this week. The excrgslon train for the circus at Wheel

 Once after he had seen a sham battle the same little fellow was explaining to his aunt that no one had really been killed. Because" he said solemnly, the guns only had blankets in them." And even hls father. who had told him plainly what blank cartridges were, had to laugh.
