criminately lavished upon any indi-
vidual in authority in order to assure
him of the particular. personal and ex-

by those who would pay equal homage
to any one else if he possessed equal

Silk and Velvet.

The European silk exports to the
United States decreased considerably
last year. The principal cause is the
steady expansion of the American silk
production, the number of factories
having doubled since 1900 Japan is
also securing larger share Of the
American market. In the year 1890
Germany sent about $10,710,000 in
silks to the United States. and Japan
sent $1,190,000 worth. In 1904-05 Ger
mnay sent about $4,99S,0OO of silk
goods to the United States. while jap
an sent $5.593,G00 worth. japanese ex-
ports in silk goods have tripled with
in ten years, increasing from $7,470,-
900 in 1895 to $22,410.O0O in 19O4-05.
and the ascending movement con-
tinues. The German silk manufactur-
er should follow with attentive eyes
the development of this industry in
Japan.

EXTEND ROADS IN ALASKA.
Railway Construction Is Being Pushed
at Rapid Rate in the Far
North.

Railroad building in Alaska is an in
FAINT industry which has just dropped
it's swaddling clothes and now gives
promise of growing at an astonishing
rate. Necessity has spruned builders
to great activity. for no sooner is
railroad needed in this country than
the project assumes shape and in re-
markably short time becomes an &C
tuality.
The development of gold and copper
mines being dependent largely upon
facilities for moving the ore, the build
ing of railways was begun to fill this
necessity. The roads bring the devel-
opment of other industries, such as
coal mining and agriculture.
No long lines have been built in
Alaska yet, the necessity for them not
being present, but within the last five
years several short lines have tapped
some of the richest mineral districts
and they have proved immensely re-
munerative. The most ambitions
project is line from Valdez to Eagle.
a distance of 400 miles, with branch
running to Dawson. This line will fol-
Alaska range of mountains at Indian
pass.
Probably the most valuable railroad
property in Alaska is the Skagway and
White Pass, which was built by Chi
cago capital four years ago and the
stock of which is now worth nearly ten
times par. This is an ore road entire
ly, although experiments in agricul-
ture along the line show that the land
is immensely fertile and capable of
bearing large crops.
Another line, which has just been
financed by ]. P. Morgan and which
will be built this summer, will run
from Nome to Kotzebue 1t will be
120 miles long and will be built for
the purpose of carrying the gold from
the KotZebue fields to Nome, where it
can be put on board steamers for the
United States. There is another line
which runs from Prince Williams bay
across the Chugach mountains This
line is only about 100 miles long.
President Roosevelt has recommend
ed that government aid be given to the
Alaskan railroads, the recommended
ton being made after a senatorial COM
mittee had gone over the routes and
reported on their feasibility and neces-
sity. Congress will be asked to guar
antee the bonds on 500 miles of road
only, that will be distributed between
three companies, the Alaska Central,
which is being built from Seward
northward to Fairbanks, and to the
roads now projected in the Copper
river valley and the Salmon river road.
There is another proposition before
congress which calls for government
aid to any Alaskan road after it has
spent certain amount of money of it's
own.
There is another railway project for
Alaska, the largest which has been put
forward, and that is for line from
the Behring straits across the terri
tory in southeasterly direction to
connect with the rails of one of the
Canadian transcontinental roads and
to be part of the great railway which
is to connect Paris with New York.

MY COLORADO BEDROOM.

My Colorado bedroom has no limit to its
wall,
Its roof is in the heavens and the heavy
dews that fall
Sprinkle floor and lawn and carpet, paint
the colors in the rose
That blooms around my bedroom and
blossoms in the SHOWS.
My Colorado bedroom is as broad as it is
long,
1t was built by the Creator with founda-
tons deep and strong;
God Almighty laid the corners, spread
the carpet on the floor
mat changes as the seasons change with
everything outdoor.
My Colorado bedroom has no lock upon
its door.
No curtains on it's windows and no chairs
upon its floor;
The smoke goes through the ceiling and
as I rest from care
III never find sweeter place when get
over there"
My Colorado bedroom is out In the open
air,
There's no mortgage on it's freehold and
no landlord anywhere;
The snow blows through the attic, but
the sun shines in the door,
Siftod down through angels fingers and
spread out upon the floor.
My Colorado bedroom is very dear to me-
With the silent stars above it shining like
an astral sea,
And when this life is over and the pearly
gates l see,
May | rest within its bosom; it is heaven
enough for me.

Channels Skin Of Commerce.

Charles C. Druedling, Of Philadel-
phia. has written an article for the
American Journal of Pharmacy on the
subject of chamois skins. What Is
known in the market as chamois skins.
he says. is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the channels animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained
in year to supply the United States
for more than single day. He made
special inquiry on recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop of
the channels skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin Of the sheep or
lamb, also much coarser. For strength
and durability the chamois skin is pre-
ferable, but for ordinary use and ap-
pearance the obtained sheep skin
lining would, in most instances, be
preferred.

They Need Training

1t is singular fact that locomotives
destined for fast runs require training
as do race-horses. The locomotive
built for speed is first put to work on
some small branch line, with light
trucks, until it becomes accustomed to
running. Having undergone this period
of probation, it is taken on to more
important portions of the lines. and
gradually worked up by increasing
speed until it is given it's place on the
line of the great flyers.
