 It was thought last year that large and valuable outfits went in- to the interior and such was the case, they being the most valuable taken over the trail since 1898, but las: seasons business with the great interior country will not com pare in any way with the business that will be done with that section this year.

 While the railroad from Valdez to the interior is slow in starting, yet there :s no doubt whatever tha, some day. and We believe it is not far distant, an all-American rail- road will be built from Valdez to Eagle City and it will open up a marvelously rich country in gold, copper, coal, oil and agriculture. Keystone canyon is the only pass between Mt. St. Elias and Cook In- let through which q railroad can be built. The government wants an ail- American railroad, the people want it and the Cople CT riv- CT valley is the only known section of Alaska through which it is known that it would pay to build a railroad.
 Ii the people of southeastern Alaska want territorial government they should have it. What is ap- piicable to southeastern Alaska, however, is not applicable to South ern Alaska and probably would not apply to the Nome or Yukon dis tricts. The country is too large and the interests too diversified for one set oi laws to hardly be appli- cable to such vast and extensive territory. While the people of this section of Alaska want to govern themselves, as all Americans desire to do, yet we believe that it is the general impression throughout this portion of Alaska that we are not yet ready for territorial or self gov ernment.
 Many of the friends of Alaska are urging the appointment by the President of . commission of five men to inquire into the needs of Alaska and its people and report to Congress. This should by all means he done and the commission should be composed of broad min- ded men, who arc not afraid of. work, or to get out among the com. mon people and inquire into their needs, as we'll ss those of the large companies and moneysd men. It would be we'll to have one or two residents of Alaska on the com mission and they should he accom- panied by the governor of the dis trict and should have at least six months time in which to complete their lahors.

Shamrock III in the international re-
gatta for the Americas cup off Sandy
Hook next month and the other two
events come in the Newport series.
1t is understood that the 90-footers

NOT A SPEED TEST
But Just to See What All the Boilers
Would Do Together.

Washington. July ga great deal of
interest was taken by naval officers in
Washington in the run of the Kear-
sarge from Portsmouth to Frenchman's
Bay.
Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau
of navigation, speaking about the voy-
age. tonight, said:
This was no test of maximum speed
possible but only a test of the usual
running under all boilers. 1t is Gus
tomary in ordinary cruising to use only
about two thirds or three fourths of
the full boiler power of the ships. All
the boilers are used when it is desired
10 make a better speed and sustain it
for long period while for short periods
of excessive speed forced drafts in the
boilers is used. This is done, however,
only for short periods because the
strain on the boilers and on the endur-
ance of the firemen is very great.

IN RECORD TIME.
Reliance Makes New Figures
for 30-MiIe Course.
Her Calf Gives Out at Finish
Columbia Loses Topmast.
Reliance Beat Constitution by Min.
and IS Seconds.

Newport, July 26.-The racing season
for the three American cup yachts pre-
liminary to the official trial races for
the selection of a 90-footer to meet the
Shamrock III, was brought to close,
Saturday, when the Reliance, Columbia
and Constitution competed for cup
offered by ex-Commodore Bigelow Of
the Eastern Yacht Club. The regatta
was a special one, arranged by the
Eastern Yacht Club in connection with
it's cruise south of Cape Cod with the
New York Yacht Club. The regatta
was open to all yachts of the two clubs
that had not been hauled out for clean
ing since July Is.
The contest between the three big
sloops was married by an accident to
the Columbia, the most serious one she
has met with since she carried away
her steel mast in a race with the De-
fender four years ago this summer on
the Newport course. Just after the
old champion gybed around the second
mark her topmast was carried away
close to the heels. The Columbia luffed
into the wind and dropped her head
sails. With some difficulty the broken
spar anu Tic Sail dlldCIlcu were lONeISu
to the deck, and then her tender, the
Park City, took the disabled craft in
tow and brought her to her mornings.
With the Columbia out of the race all
interest in the contest was ended, as
the Reliance won by minutes, Is sec
onds over the Constitution.
Reliance also met with an accident,
but not until after she had finished the
race and was about to make her moor
ings outside of Goat Island. The big
sloop came flying into the harbor UNI
der mainsail, club jib. Given a wide
sweep the Reliance gybed her main
sail over to port to run to the mooring
buoy, AS she did So puff Of
wind heeled her down and the steel gaff
buckled about 10 feet from the jaws,
The Reliance anchored Immediately
and the mainsail was lowered and I'M
bent from the broken spar. AS the Re-
lance has several spare gaffs, the trial
races will not be delayed in conse-
Quence of the accident
The three sloops were started on a
triangular race of 80 miles at 11.40.
The yachts competing in classes B.
Fl and I, sailed the same course as did
the 90-footers, while those in classes
E and sailed 21-mile triangle. The
Ingomar led the big schooners over the
course and the Nicola had the best of
the Weetamoe in their class. The Isolt
carried away her mast just before
starting in class ] and the Weetamoe
met with a slight accident on the home
leg and had to withdraw. The sum-

UNCLE AsNER's WHISTLE.

Uncle Abner has q sure,
Never-failing trouble-cure;
Makes no difference what It is.
IT can't withstand that tune of his.
He keeps whistling day by day,
Smoothing all his cares away;
Making heavy burdens light
And the Swallowed places bright.
Trouble, seeking out the men
II would bother, pauses when
II comes close enough to hear
Uncle Abner; leans its ear.
Listens, and remarks: That tune
Surely makes him an immune:
No use trying to get at
Men who whistle tunes like that"
'Tisn't what most folks would call
A fine, classic tune at all;
IT just goes softly rambling or.
Like robins song at dawn.
Till. somehow, you understand
That his head and heart and hand
Form a trio that must win
Sweet reward through th3rk and thu.
i have watched him, rain and shine,
Tending plant and tree and vine;
Never knew him-hot or cold
To forget himself and scold.
Still there comes to him his snare
OF the worlds big load of care;
Comes, an. yes! but doesn't stay
He just whistles II away.
