WEDNESDAY, OCT. Io, 1904.

"ALAsKA" is a word generally looked for ill vain in reading of the wonders of the worlds fair. Is it possible that the territory could furnish no attractions worthy of mentions? Is there no disting guish- ing feature between Kobuk In dian jag and Missouri high lonesome? If we should ship them a Yukon cold snap it would doubt less be broken in transit. The aurora borealis refuses to be seg- gregated from its native atmos- phere. Visitors to the fair who have failed to be amused by any thing Alaskan should pay us winter time visit and they will find wonders that no worlds fair can boast of. In cold, still weather a man may be heard to cuss his dog Ill an ordinary tone Of voice mile and half away, and native gen tleman's wife to tell him to go to hell all the way from the village, which is a mile and a quarter. Such phenomena can no more be transported to a worlds fair than can Jamieson's hole-in-the-ground, which went down 225 feet in hard frost and got colder all the way, thus causing local scientists to re- verse the old theory that the center of the earth is a molten mass and conclude that it is a glacier instead, only the outer shell being thawed by the suns rays.

THE activity displayed by the officials of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, Canada's second great transcontinental line, gives the inn pression that the road will be re- ally and speedily built through to the coast. The moment the roads S construction is assured, Canada-as Canada is now known-is doomed to extinction. Americans-lovers of republicanism, the offspring to a large extent of the men who have subdued the great American west will dominate the immense new territory laid open to settlement. as they are already dominating the environs of the Canadian Pacific railway; and new order of things will ensue. Old, sleepy, conserva. tive Canada will be transformed under political conditions decided by new leople-into one of the most active and progressive parts of the world. Northern British Columbia, unless all signs fail, will be Alaskas only rival in affording opportunity to the prospector: and unless some of the numerous plans for opening up the latter are car ried out it will not be surprising to see it outstripped in the great advancement which the northern part of the continent seems des, tined soon to make.

ONE of the great political par ties of the United States has in serted the federal constitution in its campaign text book this year. That is commendable; for there are many had voting American citizens who never saw that bulwark of liberty But perhaps the other great party, by the time 1908 rolls around, will find 1t necessary to advance a step ill the educational-campaign busi- ness and print digest.of supreme court decisions bearing on the con struction of the document. Then, by 1912, the negro liberty party can add a dream book to forecast the political complexion of the court. And so the great educa- tional-campaign work may go on in its mission of enlightenment.

OPINION as expressed i'll the coast papers seems to point to the belief that congress will allow Alaska one delegate, and possibly three. Read between the lines it may truthfully be said that opinion also points to the belief that the delegate or delegates will be ap- pointed. The proposition for the federal government to appoint dele gates to represent the people of tue territory at the federal capital seems so Yukon tetri.ofyish and SO foreign to American ideas and ideals that u Is almost a pity the subject was ever broaehed at all Surely the appointed officials al- ready in the territory can supply Washington with such information as Washington wants: and the people had as we'll wait till they are permitted to seud some one to tue capital responsible so them selves and obligated 10 carry ea' tAeiF wishes.
