One oi the interesting rumors in regard to railroad construction in Alaska is tl.at two or more of the Copper river valley projects are about to combine with the object of building a branch from the main line in a nor,hwcsterly dir ection to Fairbanks. This, of course, would be a blow at the Alaska Central, which is looking toward. Fairbanks as its northern terminus.

The deceased had been i'll for several days with an attack of tonsilitis and Thursday evening he took turn for the worse and died at G:30 the following morning. The direct cause of death was sep ticemia. caused by the breaking of Liberated glands of the throat.
 MT. Harlan was a general favor ite with all who knew hlm and the news of his taking away in the prime of life cast a sad shadow over the people of Valdez. During his three years of occasional resi- dence here he has made many friends, all of whom deeply mourn his uutimely demise.
 The body was escorted to the boat Friday evening by members of the local lodges to which he be- longed, and will be taken to his home at York, Nebraska, where his mother and sister reside. \. V. Harlan accompanied the remains.

there is no occasion for slarm on

when the new chief has posted
himself on the situation as shown
by the maps, he will ask for the
immediate letting of the contract

INCREASE IN TRAFFIC.

The business expansion OF the
United States in the twelve months
that just closed is strikingly indi'
Gated by the amount Of new rolling
stock ordered by the railrods Of
this country during the period
mentioned.
The figures prepared by the
Railway Age show that in 1905
orders were placed for over three
hundred and forty-one thousand
freight care, six thousand two
hundred and sixty-five locomotives
and three thousand two hundred
and eighty.nine passenger cars.
In order to appreciate this state
mentit should be said that under
eaSh head the increase in order
Was just about three times as great
as in the preceding year.
The Age says: 1.-THE aggregate
capacity Of the car and locomotive
plants and the railroad shops which
build new equipment is not suffi-
cient to produce in twelve months
the large results represented in the
footings," go that it is expected
that part Of this year will be taken
up in filling the contracts made
last year.
A few months back general COM
plant was made throughout the
United States that shippers could
not get cars enough in which to
send their products to market, and
upon several occasions the railway
companies were blamed for this con-
dition.
In the light OF the statement
made above that the car builders
and engine makers were working
at their full capacity, it does not
appear that the railways were to
blame for the car shortage.

The value OF the wool clip Of

is nearly double the output Of gold
in 1908, the latest year for which
an estimate is available. The hay
crop for 1904 is valued at practi.

would, no doubt, exceed the
output of silver for 1908, given AZ
a little under eight and one-hali

which, next to the yield in
Utah, is the highest for any state;
the average yield per acre for the

While ambition too often begets
envy it seems unfortunate that a
jealousy should arise between
various sections of Idaho county to
such an extent that one community
should try to build itself up by
tearing down another. While we
do not believe such methods &C.
complish the desired effect, they
engender an i'll feeling that is
bound to work injury in the long
run to all concerned. Idaho county
is not so large but what the de-
velopment Of one part will benefit
every other part. The almost un-
limited resources are we'll distribut.
ed and no one section has a mon
opoly on all the good things nature
has bestowed upon US. We are ali
citizens of the same state and COM
mop interests should prompt kind
word for our neighboring towns.
With the railroads now building
this way there is prosperity in sight
for everybody and this can be Sc
cured in its fullest measure by

all the good in the county is held
