Croker gives some idea of the immensity of this territor by state ing that if Alaska were laid down on a map of the United States it would cover everything east of Iowa.
 The small cannery steamer Pacific belonging to the Alaska Packers Association, when on a trip along the coast about 10 days ago, steamed close to Middleton island and on the inner side of the island discovered the hull of the ill-fated steamer Discovery which was lost last winter after leaving Valdez and none of the bodies of the crew or passengers have been found. The hull is high up above ordinary water line and was evidently landed there in a storm.-Valdez Prospector.

LAND LAW REPEAL.

=
Legislation to repeal the land laws
have largely refused to meet the
question upon its merits and
have exhausted their oratory in
chargingIthe great railroads of the
west with being behind the move
ment for the purpose of increasing
the value of their own lands. 1t is
a fact that the great transcontinen
tai lines have supported the cam
paign to repeal the timber and stone
act, the communication clause of the
homestead act and the desert land
act, which, it is well known, are
constantly being used to acquire
great bodies of land without resi-
dence and settlement. James J.
Hill, the president of the Great
Northern which owns no land, has
actively favored the irrigation and
land repeal policy for several years,
and in a speech Jan. IA before the
Minnesota agricultural society, he
specifically urged that these three
laws should be repealed.
It is not difficult to see why Mr..
Hill and all the great roads running
lines through the desert states,
whether they own land or not,
should favor the appeal of these
laws, especially the desert land law
and the Communication clause of the
homestead law, which operate al
most solely to build up great cattle
and sheep estates, and tend to re-
tard homemaklng and put off settle
mentIindehnitely. What the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
and the Burlington and the Union
Pacific and all the roads desire
above all things is settlement and
population along these lines. They
want 100 acre farms, not great cat
tie ranges with twenty miles be-
tween shacks, for the farms will
bring them traffic beyond the
ranges ten to one. Men from the
northwest say that what has built
up the Great Northern to it's pres
ent highly prosperous condition
has been the rapid advance in set
Element and cultivation of the terri
tory through which the road runs.
James J.'Hill, great railroad man
and financier that be is, it is said
would rather than anything else,
go and sit down with some old farm
err along his line and discuss for
one hour the best methods for him
and his neighbors to improve their
stock and breed it up and improve
their methods.of cultivation and in
troduce new and better crops and
get bigger yields per acre.
