THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC

The Victoria Colonist is authority for the statement that the Grand Trunk Pacific, the western terminus of which is to be at Prince Rupert, only few hours steamer ride from Ketchikan, proposes to rush work. The 1S0 miles of road between Kiti- maat and Hazelton are to be begun at once, and work will also be started on the line between Prince Rupert and kitsalas Canyon. A contract for 200 miles from Edmonton west is also to prairies the distance is put at 670 miles, and it is said that contracts are to be let for all this section next year, so that by the summer of 1908 the whole line from Edmonton to the coast, a distance of approximately 1, ,000 miles, will be under construc- tion.
 The foregoing statements are made apparently upon authority, and if they pIONC tO bC bOli SSO pilCy VIII hC"h very busy times in Central British Columbia for few years. The con- pany has until 1911 to complete its line. It is said that the loo miles east of Prince Rupert are the most difficult work on the whole line, and will require two years for construc- tion. Meanwhile the Kitimaat branch will be used to send supplies and ma 1 terial into the interior. If the Con- pany can get the men, it ought to be possible to complete it's road through to the Coast within the time limit. We imagine that business reasons make it desirable that the Pacific Coast should be reached as soon as possible.
 The foregoing information will be of particular interest to the local readers of The Miner, in view of the fact that the completion of the line in question will bring the whole of southeastern Alaska at least two days nearer to the east, and in correspond- ingly closer touch with the great states and cities beyond the Rockies.

The British cable route is from Bamfeld to Tanning island, 3.24o nautical miles; Tanning island to Fiji, ?, 093 miles; Fiji to Norfolk island, 901 miles; Norfolk island to Brisbane, Queensland, S34 miles, and to New Zealand, 337 miles. In that stretch of 3, 2i0 nautical miles-equal to 4,000 statute miles-a thousand tons of cop per was used. In places this cable lies l6, GOO feet below the surface of the ocean. Parts of this cable weighed twenty -one tons to the mile. The American cable enterprise was started by Cyrus W. Field, and con- pleted by John ". Maekay and George Gray. It runs from San Francisco to Honolulu, ?, 412 nautical miles; Hono- lulu to Manilla, $500 miles, touching at Guam and Midway Islands. Prem Manila, the line extends to Shanghai, China, 1, 200 miles.
 In forty years we have virtually for gotten that the seas were once bar riers to international communication. Now they have been narrowed by speedy ships and the deep-lying cables until. as far as communication is con- cerned, they are little wider than streams across which men can shout to each other. Great depths have been conouered bv the cable lavers. The greatest known depth of the sea is in the md-Pacitic Ocean, and is re- corded as five thousand two hundred and sixty-nine fathoms-thirty-o thousand six hundred and fourteen feet, or siXty-six feet short of six statute miles. This sounding was obtained on the United States steam ship Nero, and it is greater than any elevation on our continent or so far as known, in the world.

CABLES

There are now about 20, GOO miles of cable laid in the bed of the great Pacific Ocean, and you can now send messages around the world by two different routes, It is possible to send message from New York and re- ceive it back in New York from Lon don ten minutes later. In that ten minutes it will have travelled across the American continent, through the depths of the Pacific, over Australia to the Orient, across India, the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, around Spain, under the Atlantic to England, and thence by Atlantic cable back to New York.
 There are now two separate and complete lines across the Pacifc-one all British and one all American. The laying of these great stretches of wire involves engineering feats of q high order. A 3.210 mile span, such as the one between Bamfield, B. C., and Tanning island, would have been an impossible thing few years ago,

soon after taking possession of his sinecure position, to realize that con- templated change to territorial form of government would make the office he holds one of some power and re- sponsibility, clothed with dignity it does not now possess. In this view ol the case, aside from other and weightier considerations, it would seem that governor Hoggatt might find good and sufficient reasons fo1 abandoning the position he has taken and enlisting himself in the cause ol popular home government for Alaska. He has much to gain and nothing to lose by such change of personal and official base of actions.

WHY HE SHOULD CHANGE BASE

" h Il E SHOOLD C1ANOE BASE
 The seemingly unalterable position assumed and held by Governor Hog gait in opposition to any form of pop ular home government for Alaska is unexplainable on any theory of sound reasoning compatible with the ruling sentiment of the American people. regarded from any standpoint that may be suggested. This fact is re- grettable for more reasons than one, but principally because of the official position which gives him an influence which as a private citizen he could not exert against a realization of what he now admits to be the hopes and earnest desires of the people whose rights and interests should be with him matter of first and fore most consideration. Aside from the fact that the governor will find It ex- ceedingly difficult, if not wholly i'm possible, to even partially justify the stand he has taken upon any theory of right, justice or of sound public pol icy, it would seem that considerations wholly personal to himself should have prompted him to an entirely different course-a course which would have evoked the friendship. esteem and support of the great ma jority of the people of Alaska not only, but in like measure inured to bis own personal and official advan- tage.
 As Judge Wickersham truthfully asserted in his Seattle speech-an assertion first uttered hy a former occupant of the bench in Alaska, and the truthfulness of which is so appar- ent as to preclude contradiction--the governor of Alaska, under the present bastard form of government, is mere figurehead, with absolutely no powers conferred, or duties possible of per- formance enjoined upon him that might not just as we'll be exercised and performed by clerk sent out from one ot the departments at Wash ington. The Miner says this without intending any disrespect to either the present or any former incumbent of the office, but as plain statement of an indisputable fact, impossible of change, under the present bastard form of government, except for the worse.
 It is inconceivable that Governor Hoggatt should not have come, very

tory appears to be about l4o, GOO tons, compared with which the local pro- dnction is insignificant.

It has been positively asserted and is probably true that the Philippines have cost the U. S.. first and last, something like $500, o00. GOO, but we will never know how that money has been expended. It may be interesting to know, though, that the Philippine government is paying } cents Mexican or l F cents gold for live rats. Rats are great pest in the islands and the Philippine government has set about eNtermnating them. They pay the bounty on live rats because many rats are killed in the process of capture and that is just what the government wants It may be retorted that it is from the Philippine funds that this bounty is paid and not from the treas ury of the United States. It is we'll to remember that the United States collects D per cent of the Dingley rates on all goods coming from the Philippines into this country, but instead of this money going into the United States treasury it is turned into the Philippine treasury. So in- directly We are paying our share fol the rats.

Wandering about this country some place or in the wilds of Central Africa is man by the name of Garner, who claims to have studied the simian language until he can talk with and understand monkey talk. He should be immediately secured by one of the New York yellow newspapers and sent to interview Consul, the chimpanzee that was the guest of honor at rec ent swell dinner given at Newport. Consuls opinion of the people with whom he was compelled to come in contact at that dinner would be aw- fully edifying. It's a safe bet that Consul thinks a vast deal more of his own tribe now than he did before he met those society people.

The United States Geological Sur vey reports that the total production of coal in Alaska in 1906 was 554l short tons, having a spot value of S17, 974, an increase of 1767 short tons in quantity and $4724 in value over the figures for 1905, when the produc- tion amounted to 3774 tons having a value of Sl3, 250.
 Prior to 1905 the returns from the producers of Alaskan coals were very incomplete, but in that year the col lection of statistics on the subject was undertaken by Alfred H. Brooks and George C. Martin, of the Surveys division of mineral resources of Alas ka, and the returns obtained are be- lieved to be fairly complete. The production for 1904 was reported as 694 tons, and for 1903, 7I7 tons, but Mr. Martin states that in each of these years the total output was at least 20o0 tons and was probably be- tween 25O0 and 5000 tons.
 In view of the quantity of fuel con- sumed in Alaska and by steamers ply ing between the Territory and the ports of the Pacific States the tardy development of the excellent coal beds in Alaska is somewhat remarkable. The consumption of coal in the Terri

It is wonderful how much misin formation an editor intent upon bol- stering up bad and failing cause can crowd into a single column. "The great city of San Francisco has four times the number of people that all Alaska has, but the federal govern ment will not even permit that city to run her public schools as she wishes to, - says the monarchist Unit at Jun eau. It would be information worth while to be shown when, how and in what manner the federal government has assumed the right to interpose an objection even, to the people of San Francisco, or of any other city, state or territory exercising full and abso- lute control over her own educational affairs!

A few years ago people would have laughed at the idea of any state in the South adopting prohibition measures. Personal liberty was the watchword when efforts were made by prohibit tionists to gain foothoid in that sec tion. Now local option prohibits the sale of liquor in many of the Southern states and absolute prohibition has just been adopted in Georgia. When efforts were made in congress dozen or more years ago to put through pro- hibtory measures for government in- stitutions and government reserva- tions, the solid Democratic vote, con- ing mostly from the Southern states, could be depended upon to defeat such measures. Now they are passed from time to time and the strength of the prohibitionists grows from year tc year. This growth is not of the pro- hibition party but growth in both the old parties.

Looking back over the record made by Diogenes, says the Woman's Nat ional Daily, in his unsuccessful search for the one thing his heart most de- sired, and casting our eye over the history of Iceland at the same time, we are filled with regret, solely out of sympathy for the old lantern bearer that he could not have had his foot steps directed northward. We have always had sympathy for Diogenes, for we have had our own little troubles hunting for an honest man. We have never felt entirely convinced that honest men are or were before these days of trust domination as scarce as the ancient searcher seemed to find them, but we are forced to admit that the honest man has not always been "Johnny on the Spot, " when we most wanted him. We have found in our own experience as com pared with that of the man of the lan- tern, that touch of nature which has made us feel of kin to a limited de- gree, and for that reason, perhaps, our regret. as already said, is all the more keen that Diogenes did not have the good luck to run across somebody who could have given him tip on Iceland. Just think Of a country where the people are so honest that such thing as a jail is unknown. What in the world would they do if such a man as Jaiied- Mayor Schmitz should stray into their midst? Then, too it is said the country has no police of any kind, having never had any use for anything of the sort. That is indeed blessing; has saved the country world of graft scandal, to say nothing of deliyerance from the jokes about sleepy coppers, and all that sort of thing. But when we get down to the statement that there have been only two thefts in the entire country in one thousand years, we must stop to think it over, and see if we are not reading about some celes- tial sphere. But wait q minute. Maybe there isn't anything in the country worth stealing.
