 "At times we were within . hali mile of the glacier where wc could feel the bitter cold wind that blew from 1t. Once we saw the wonderful cave under its center. From this cave boiled up . river throwing into the air enormous cakes of ice. We could hear the rumbling more plainly slso e great slides dashed and tore down the wall into the sea. We learned that the glacier is many miles long and four hundred feet high and extends over range of mountains, joining other glaciers until it reaches the range which lies about Valdez. The glaciers of southern Alaska are fast wearing away 50 that this is really the only live glacier in these regions"
 When 'he ship vas completely filed with ice her prov was point ed homeward. We feasted our eyes on this marvellous work of nature until the point was reached where it was lost to view. The scenes We now passed seemed commonplace beside the one We had recently viewed. The mysterious work of nature impressed us with its majesty, standing. as il does, a symbol of the power that lies bey- ond that of man.

Communication.
Editor PRosPECToR:

lnasmuch as newspapers are supposed to be published, not only as source Oi revenue To the pro- prietors thereof. but as vehicle for the dissemination of news; to in struct, alnuse and, so far as the ability of their writers extend. to advise it's readers, you will pardon me l am sure ii 1 state that some of the editorials appearing in the Prospector and News are neither in structive or amusing,
 Whatever satisfaction the writ CTS of these articles on territorial government may derive from the expression of theiraNidely diverg- ent opinions by no means extends to the readers. Very few people in this city are at all familiar with the working of a territorial form oi government, and that they may form an intelligent opinion of the advantages or disadvantages oi such a government as compared with the present system. they should be educated oa all the points pertaining to the govern ment of a territory.
 Now are the writers ahovs re- ierred to possessed oi the knowl- edge so to do2 No. Their ssver- al editorials demonstrate only too clearly their total ignorance of the subject. Therefore their writings are wholly without interest except, to the few who may find . momen- tary amusement in the personali- ties indulged in.
 Under these circumstances I be lieve l am not exceeding my priv iieges when l advise both papers to give us more news and less editor ia.s.

"A Visit To A Real Glacier.v

The following Is a paper read at the commencement exercises of the Stockton high school hy Miss E. Amy, who spent her vacation of 1903 in Valdez.
 1.-The captain of the Perry had invited us to make the trip with him to Columbia Glacier, where he went regularly to gather the float ing ice for supplying the town of Valdez. It was to be three days trip, for the glacier is on the south ern coast of Alaska about thirty five miles from Valdez. We ac- eepted the invitation and beauti- full mid-summer's day found us on ship board eager to view new won ders of nature. The day could not have been more perfect for showing to advantage the splendor of the surrounding scenery. Even the mountains seemed higher than us- ual, and the glaciers cradled on their huge bosoms sent forth new gleams."
 "Tou wlOo immagine Alaska de void of everything except ice and snow and bitter cold. can you pie ture with me its splendor?"
 ,,!As We wound in and out through the "Narrows"we came upon tiny water falls dotted here and there among the wonderful growth of trees and shrubbery, sometime lost to view yet appearing further down the mountain until with headlong plunge they fell splash into the sea. Beautiful ferns and wild flowers nodded to us from the shore. Once couple of Indians passed us in q light, birch-bark ca noe, padding deitly with their one flat oar. from one side to the other. The tapping of the water, the roar ing of distant waterfall and an occasional wild birds scream were the only sounds. We sailed through these delightful scenes until the day xaned and darkness came down shutting them from our view. Then reluctantly We left them for our nights rest"
 Just at sunrise the captain awak- ened us to say that the glacier was near at hand. While we were dressing We could see great bergs of ice floating by. They were of a beautiful turquoise blue and some were large enough to be taken for islands. Many were black with huge birds. We were soon drssed and out on deck. As we rounded a point of land just ahead We saw what appeared to be great wall of ice of a deeper blue than the bergs. Even as We looked great cakes broke loose from the mass and fell into the sea with a long, loud rum bling sound similar to a distant clap of thunder. Through the glasses We could see great cracks or crevices in the formation into which the morning sun shown making rainbows all over the surface.
 All around us floated great cakes of ice and the ship stopped now and then, in the Hoe. 10 pull some aboard. A small boat was lowered and after being made fast to the ship a man was lawered into it.. With a hook attached to q long pole he was able to pull the cakes mar tine ship and by means of q large pair of ice tongs, raised and lowered by a rope, pulley and steam engine, these cakes Were low

SAYS PATTEE HAS
LOST HIS HEAD
Chicago Paper Censures the Min
nesota Dean for Alleged
Recent Utterances.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, May 12.-The Record
Herald to-day editorially censures Dr.
William s. Pattee for his advising
students Of the law school of Mime
sofa to keep out of the law until me-
cessity compelled them to think of it
as a means Of livelihood, and for his
quoted statement; Many Of you are
too honest to be good lawyers"
The editorial says:
4 Is it possible that Dr.. Pattee means to
insinuate that men cannot practice law
and be honest? The idea is new one
Coming from the dean of a law school
to law students 1t Is startling. Let us
survey the situation calmly for a mo-
ment. Here are 1,100 students preparing
themselves for the legal professionalism
properly speaking, 'the practice Of law
In q fatherly, confidential talk to them
the dean admonishes them to keep out
OF the law; that they are "too honest
to make good lawyers" that only the
direst necessity should induce them to
consider it.
Why did not Dean Pattee tell these
1,100 students to keep out Of the law
before they came to his law school, with
no other object in view than to prepare
for the practice of the profession?
Such indiscriminate denunciations
against a whole profession carry their
own refutation with them. Whenever we
are told that doctors as a class, or min
listers as a class, or lawyers as a class,
are this, that or the other that is bad
and undesirable, we know at once that
the speaker has lost his head The law
yers will find in Dean Pattee's criticisms
the least of their troubles.

AUDITORIUM PLAN
MEETS WITH FAVOR
p. ]. PHELPS COMPARES 1T WITH
BOSTON SYMPHONY HALL.
i Is In Line with Suggestions Made
by Him BEFORE Six O'Clock Club
Three Years Ago-He Says Such a
Hall Would Be No Experiment.

q. =. Phelps is enthusiastic over the
audltorlum plans printed yesterday in
Q n l. BY a strange CO.
incidence. the company and its archi-
.ecls nave worked out a general idea
presented IN paper three years ago
Phelps, who at that time, and ever
since, has been anxious to have q
music hall in MINNEAPOLIS.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Phelps attended
Boston Symphony orchestra concert
IN the Boston Symphony hall, whose
genera! plan is embodied in the Min
ineapoiis design, and the auditorium
the plans outlined in the six O'Clock
ciuo paper, only, of course, more COM
plete. 20
In short. I think, said Mr.. Phelps.
with reference to the Northwestern
national Life Insurance company's
deslgn, that the plan as offered could
NOT pc bettered. 1t is much like that
oI Lne Boston Symphony hall. Any
aTchllect, owner Or builder Is remark
ably wise to construct what is satis-
Factory rather than to experiment on
something else.''
Even the proposed seating capacity
agrees with Mr.. Phelps idea as ad-
vanced by him years ago, and as still
held: He said: "In my opinion it
=
more than 2,500. I'd rather make It
500 smaller than 500 larger. When
you get hall seating more than $500
1t Is so large that many persons cam
not see and hear well.
"The corridor plan I consider an
excellent idea. In the Boston hall
the corridor was filled with people
greeting friends, making little social
gatherings between the halves Of the
concert.
THE location is one Of the very
best, in my opinion, that could be se-
| lected. The great majority of the peo-
pie attending concerts in a music hall
live to-day south of Eleventh street,
and, SO far as the East Side people
go, as long as they are on the cars.
three. four or five blocks cut no figure.
The location and plans, it seems to me,
cannot be improved. You may get
other locations as good, but none bet
ter. The company has shown wis
dom in selecting site. The property
| will grow in value.''

TO PASS OVER VETO
Aldermen VIII Probably Put Peddlers'
Ordinance Thru Again.

Mayor Haynes veto of the peddlers'
ordinance is expected to receive a chilly
reception at the council meeting to-mor
row evening. The aldermen argue that
If it is legal to charge $50 for a push
cart license it is certainly legal to charge
like amount for a two-horse wagon
license. The grocers of the city are
united in demanding an increase in the
wagon peddlers' license from $25 to $50,
Mayor Haynes said to-day that he ex-
pected to have the ordinance passed
over his veto tomorrow evening, but
was still convinced that his position was
right
The peddlers are organizing to fight
the ordinance in the courts. Most of the
wagon peddlers have already obtained
licenses for the coming season at the old
rates, and are safe for year, but they
are ready to get into fight. The lead
will be taken by the push-cart peddlers.

DODGE DIsBARMENT CASE
Marked by Legal Tilt Over Presence OF
TWO Attorneys.


TWO Attorneys.
A pretty legal tilt marked the opening
Of the disbarment proceedings against
Colonel w. q, and Vernon Dodge before
Referee George F. Hitchcock yesterday
afternoon. When the first session was
called to order Attorneys Fred V. Brown
and r. A. Stone appeared to assist p.
Southworth Of Shakopee in the prose
cution.
Judge Belden and w. E. Hale, repre-
senting Dodge brothers, entered strenuous
objections to the appearance Of Brown and
Stone in the case, holding that they had
not been named as prosecutors by the
supreme court. Mr.. Southworth announced
that they were there by his invitation.
The matter was argued until Referee
Hitchcock announced that he did not
think he had the power to decide the
question, and referred it to the judges Of
the supreme court for a decision. Tho
matter was argued by Judge Belden, w.
e. Hale and Mr.. Southworth in st. Paul
this morning. The judges took the ques-
tton under advisement and a decision is
expected this afternoon. Mrs. Fitzgerald
of Morris was the first witness called.
The proceedings are based upon the al
legation that the defendants fraudulently
appropriated moneys received in settle
ment of actions against the Great North
ern Railway company. A general denial
Of the charges has been made.
