ANOTHER YEAR GONE

This issue of the ALASKA SENTI- MEL commences the fifth year of the papers existence, the publica- ton having started on the 2Oth of November, 1902. The four years just past have been expended, all will admit, in an effort to build up the town from which the paper .'sskes its substance, and, to a cer- tain extent, our efforts have been crowned with success. Starting only year or two after the boom which drew so many to Wrangell, the effort has been to attract peo- pie with capital to invest in the numerous possibilities of this irn- mediate locality in particular and the Territory of Alaska in general,
 These years have witnessed ior- tune and misfortune. They have seen the town recover from the eff. fects of the boom, and settle down to a peaceful, quiet condition, un- attended by the violence, outlawry, and crime, which usually follow boom in new country.
 The past year has probably been the most eventful in the history of the town, covering, as it does, the period in which the major business portion of the town was wiped off the map by fire, and a new and better class of buildings erected over the ashes; this in spite of the fact that a pessimistic few saw mo- thing for Wrangell but glow and certain death. The fefutation of such an opinion, therefore, signifies that those who have established themselves in business here are confident of the future of the town. It was estimated that the fire of March 24, 1906, took up in smoke s125, ,0O0 worth of the property of the town. With the burned dis trict net yet one third covered with new buildings and equipments, over s150,O00 have been expended, which demonstrates the superior eharac- ter of buildings and greater stocks of merchandise being put in. The town still lives, I
 For the next year or two, great preparations will be made for the exposition which is expected to at- tract thousands of people to the Pacific Coast, and incidentally to Alaska. While making arrange ments for this stupendous affair, it behooves Alaskans everywhere to prepare the way for those who will come to see what we have in the way of profitable investments for capital. Wrangell, being surround sd by all the advantages which old Dame Nature has SO lavishly be- stowed upon the Territory, should be fully alive to the importance oi their exploitation. What have we e exploit? Hundreds of thousands of acres of fine timber, fish of many kinds and each with a commercial value, prospects which, when prop erly developed, will equal those 0. any portion of the Territory, par adiss io- tourists and hunters, and the most beautiful and healthful climate in the world. We are sur rounded by such scenery as is not encountered in any other portion of ehe globe; our glaciers are not to

gested and strictly adhered to, a change will come over the little town such as will be complete surprise to the most doubtful. Let each do his part, and with the motto Ia strong pull and a pull to- gether," we'll make the next year a record breaker.

The race question has struck Ore. gon. It is precipitated by desire on the part of Oregon negroes to masquerade as Elks. The Cauca- sians object. A bill will be intro duced in the next legislature for. bidding those of Ethiopian extrac- tion wearing the Elk's emblem, or one closely initiating it. It is the same question that is gradually growing into race. war in the South. It's the coming national problem, forcing itself on the peo- pie for settlement as the negro pop ulation multiplies. It must be met Whites will not be dominated over politically by the blacks or accept social equality, regardless of racial distinction with them. People of the South are not differnt from peo- pie ot the North, East or West on this question. In the South separ- ate coaches are provided for negroes who travel on trains. In Oregon and other states, lodges shut their doors to them. Whites and blacks will not mix socially. There were created five distinct races and no amount of sympathy for the weaker race, no drastic legislation, no man. date of court can break down the lines of division. The negero may as we'll give up any ambition he may have cherished to become a brother Elk with whites, nor will he be permitted to wear Elk em- blem if the order can prevent it.

Lying along the beds of ocean are abut two hundred and twenty. five thousand miles of submarine telegraph cables. More than hall of this immense mileage is British and every year British messagel number all told 100, ,OOO,e0e words In forty years we have virtually forgotten that the seas were once barriers to international comnu. nication. Now they have been mar. rowed by speedy ships and the deep. lying cables until, as far as commu. nication is concerned, they are little wider than streams across which men can almost shout to each other. Great depths have been conquered by the cable layers The greatest known depth of the sea is in the mid-Pacific ocean, and is recorded at five thousands two hundred and sixty-nine fathoms- thirty-one thousand six hundred and fourteen feet-or sixty-six feet shorter than six statute miles. This sounding was obtained on the United States steamship Nero, and it is greater than any elevation on our continent, or, 50 far as known, in the world.
