Help Build alreadss

A bill providing a form of federal subsidy for the construction of rail- roads in Alaska has been prepared by J. T. Flynn, of Seattle, and will be in- troduced in the two houses of congress by Senator Culberson, of Texas, and Representative Rhea, of Kentucky. The author thinks the government might aid railway construction to much better advantage than highway building, for the territory would be developed more rapidly and more economically. The measure provides only a limited form of subsidy, how ever, for it is proposed that the govern ment reimburse itself out of the fed eral revenues of Alaska.
 The first section provides that in 'slieu of all other public aid, the sum of s1O,OOO be appropriated out of the public revenues of Alaska, and in the event of the insufHciency thereof out of the general funds of the United States, for each and every mile of standard gauge railroad hereafter con- structed in Alaska, provided that the total sum appropriated shall not ex- ceed the sum of s2,oOO,OOO in any one year or exceed the total of S100O0,OOo during the life of the act"
 It is also provided in the bill that the money paid by the government shall form first lien upon the railroad or railroads thus aided. No land grant is to be eivens and no railroad enjoying the subsidy is to possess any interest in mineral or other lands. The author says the bill is not drafted in the in- terest of any particular person or com pany.

Andrews of the customs office sizes up the weather bureau of Alaska in this manner: "You see the warming up of the Jap population on the serious question of war lately has also affected the Jap current to such an extent, that Alaska being in the same course of this current that is has also changed the climatic conditions of our temperature" We guess he is right Guide.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Democrats Met 10 Discuss the Matter
This Afternoon.

The Democratic central committee
was scheduled for a meeting this after
noon for the purpose OF discussing
matters pertaining TO the judicial con-
ventlon. What action viii be taken is
problematical, but II is believed that
the proposition will be submitted to
have the conventions to nominate dis
trlct and city judges held smultane-
ously. As there Is some opposition to
this scheme, however, II may be de-
feated as there are those who fear that
an arrangement Of this kind, which
would give the city delegates a chance
to vote on both propositions, would re-
suit In trades and perhaps the nomlna-
ton Of weak men.
In legal circles there Is a movement
on to retain the present district Judges,
who are equally divided as regards
their political affiliations. The incum-
bents seem to have given excellent sat-
isiaction and It is argued that there Is
no reason why they should not be
