Lear FNlup. nave JUST received
yours Of the z2d. You need hare no
misgivings never take offense at
what you say. You are the only
preacher whose homilIes I can read
without WEAKNESS: besides. under any
other circumstances your warning let
ter of rem0natrance would have been
justified. As it is, however. il is un-
necessary.
Let me begin by telling you that
am leaving San Stefano this after
noon Do you remember my brother
Arthur, in Ceylon. wanted me to go
out there some time ago and help him
in his tea plantationz
A day or two back had another
letter from him. renewing the offer
and urging me Il could accept it to
start at once. He says he badly
needs assistance, and the proposals he
makes are most generous. So I'm OF
to Genoa to-day to catch the steamer
there.
/ can't stay here any longer love
her, Philip. honestly and truly. as
have never loved before. and beiieye
that she in her innocent heart has
come to care little fer me. Any
how, her mother came to me yester-
day and asked me if my attentions to
her daughter meant anything. Meant
anythingl They only meant the
whole amount Of pure and unselfsh
love that I'm capable Of feeling-but
/ could not say that / could not ask
her to allow her daughter TO marry
ne-could II You know something
Of what my life has been these last
few years. Why. I've hardly decent
/ friend in the world save yourself, and
there IS not single woman Of my
acquaintance whom could bear to
! see in the same room with her.
Even if l could afford to marry.
what sort Of husband should make
to sweet child like that? 1t Is ter
ribly true saying that one can't touch
mud without some of it sticking. and
/ have dabbled too freely in the mire
to escape being besnsirched-
So I'm going away. For once in my
life shall have the satisfaction Of
knowing that I'm doing the straight
thing. | like to think tnat my devo-
tfon to her has kindled within me a
spark Of something less base. some
thing that my utterly selfish passions
have not altogether consumed. 1t is
but a mere flicker, though; it will need
much tanning to glow with steady
fame.
Later write this at Genoa, where
l have just arrived.
/ saw her once again and said good
by quite iestingly and spoke lightly
Of our next meeting. God knows what
it cost me to ED SO. There were tears
in her eyes. Philip--tears because
was leaving her.
1t was hard then. but did not give
way. She saw me last with smile
on my lips; no doubt she thinks I've
heart Of stone. But 1t might make
her more unhappy to think that
cared.
I have not prayed for score Of
years, but | think there was some
thing ike a prayer in my heart as
drove away. A vague and shadowy
petition on her behalf. to the Giver Of
all good things. don't suppose I
shall ever see her again.
Well, I'm on to CeyIon. My boat
sails in an hour. Good-by. old friend.

TELLS THEM OF ALASKA
Mai. Ballaine Gives Pointers to
 House Committee

Washington. D. C.,-Ar. Ballaine yesterday told the House committee on territories in detail of the different varieties of grass, berries and grain that grow in the valleys of the central and southern portions of Alaska. It was shown by him that these valleys are in the same latitude and contain about the same area as corresponding portions of Northeastern Europe that support a population of. l5,OOO.O GOO almost wholly on agriculture. He laid emphasis on condition of climate in Alaska. in that the average length of sunshine each twenty-four hours during the months of May, June, July and August is from eighteen to twenty hours.
 This condition, he said, aided by the moderating influence of the Japanese current, causes almost twice as much growth each twenty-four hours as the same vegetation attainS in the latitude of the Ohio river valley.-Associated PrnSS

BARK FERRIS THOMPSON IN PORT
Lumber Vessel Has Easy Voyage And is Now Anchored in Bay

Bark Ferris Thompson, with a cargo of 400, ,0OO feet of lumber for her own CT. Capt. M. White, floated up the bay Tuesday night and anchored in shallow water above town. She was lowed out of Seattle February F, set sail off Cape Flattery February l3 and reach ed the cape outside Resurrection bay last Friday night, February 2S, ten days from Cape Flattery, but adverse winds compelled her to stand out to sea again and she went out sixty miles. She waited four days before it was safe to come in but she entered in the night without mishap.
 The Ferris Thompson was built in New York thirty years ago. She was engaged in the West Indian sugar trade for dozen years, then came around the Horn about eighteen years ago and has been tramp on this coast ever since. Last year Capt. White bought her to take a cargo of coal to Kotzebue Sound and has de- cided that he can make money by keeping her.

TO PROSPECT FOR QUARTZ
Discoverers of Falls Creek Deposits
 Will Organize Company

Frank r. Skeen and John Lechner, who made the discovery of quartz gold deposits on Falls creek, will organize a company to furnish capital for pros pecting the whole of Kenai peninsula. Both men went out late in the fall to visit their old homes in the states and have been putting in part of their time upon the work of securing capital for further investigation of mineral depos- its in this region.
 Before leaving here Mir. Skeen eX- pressed the belief that Kenai peninsula is likely to prove very rich in quartz gold deposits and announced his intent ion of spending the coming summer in prospecting the district. He is an ex- perienced prospector, both in Alaska and elsewhere, and says it would be almost unheard of for deposits as rich as those of Falls creek appear to be from the surface indications and the development work so far done, to stand alone and isolated from any other.

About thirJy Dr0spocJ0rs, 0TI W

About thirty prospectors, all well supplied with outfits, started for the interior Thursday on the train, which carried about seyenQ-fye men altogether. A large majority of the prospectors are headed for the Yentna district. though small number were intending Co go elsewhere. Several were bound for the upper Shushetna, and a few are interested in the region just north of Enik.
 Chict Clerk Jackson ofthe construct ion department of the railroad who furnishes the transportation for pass enger, over the road, says that all through February from fifty to seventy five men a week went out from Seward on the trains to go into the mining dis trfcts. Most of these are known to have been headed for the Yentna. It is expected that the next two weeks will see a greater rush than ever as after the middle of March thawing may set in at any time and stop travel on the rivers until the ice is out.

 l The Lowering bin is advoca,odchtetIy | by the Council City railroad interests and ft r- doubtful whether it will pass 1 because the progress which the Alaska ! Central Ina, made without government laid has practically convinced the com mitrccthat bona fda railroads in Alaska l lean be financed iudependentlyof federal l backing or guaranty.
 Secretary Talt said he regarded the buildingof the Alaska Central as an enterprise of national importance be- cause it would open the high grade coal fields of the Matanuska and make | the product easily accessible to tide water. where it would be available for the use of American naval vessels on the Pacific. He said the war-shipS are |u,ing several hundred thousand tons of Welsh coal annually at a cost of ! Sl,5OO,OOO. which is more expensive than the Matanuska coal will be when the Alaska Central brings it to the sea, and of no better, if as good quality.
 Secretary Taft has promised to visit Alaska next year to inform himself more fully by personal observation of it's resources and interests.

 The railroad company also relic, upon a circular issued by the genera. land office setting forth rulings which have been made upon Jhe land laws. Referring Co the section rescrvin- a 6O-foot strip along the shore line for d public highway the circular says:
 This reservation will not, however, prevent the survey and location oi 80 claim up ro the shore line, for in such case the claim win be subject Co this ,erviuude and the area in the highway willbe computed as part of the area entered amt purchased. '
 This is taken by the railroad com pany and it's counsel to uphold the con- tentiou that the patent to the land em- braciug the 6O-foot sJripis valid except that the public has right to travel over the land, but this does not affect the fee simple title Co the land, merely attaching a servitude to it's use.

 It was contended by the defense that the action was really one in ejectment and therefore not cogniza- ble in the commissioners court, where an action for forcible entry and de- tainer will lie. This point was over ruled by Judge Hildreth.
