The Past, Present and Future
 of Alaska.

Look backward at Alaska, ten years ago-see what the country was then. Now look at the territory and see what it is today. Then look forward ten years and imagine, if you can, what it will be at the expiration of that time.
 It might be said that ten years ago Alaska was practically broad expanse of snow and ice and Eskimos. But the changes that have been wrought in that brief time have been wonderful; they have been almost beyond compre- hensiou and belief Today Alaska's natural resources are being developed, and the entire territory is alive with in- dustry. Natures treasure vaults are being found and opened by the hand of man, and the contents thereof are being distributed throughout the en- tire world
 How quickly the period of ten years has gone, and how great the change in Alaska's condition has been in that time. How quickly the ten yeors to come will go, and how great will be the change between now and then. The changes and advancement Alaska has made in the past ten years are small as compared with the changes, advance meut and growth which will take place in the next ten years, Science is now placing Us in position to cope with the problems Alaska has heretofore presented, and in few years hence Al aska will be looked upon by the world as a treasure empire within itself.
 Some time ago person, in writing of Alaska, referred to the territory as "the land of promise" The promises of yesterday have been kept, and to- day the things promised are living re. ality. Alaska is. today attracting atten- tion from every portion of the globe, It is the marvel of the age. One can. not pick up financial paper, periodic. al or magazine of any country without seeing Alaska's growth and prosperity exploited. The development of the territory's agricultural and mineral re,

highest bidder Wednesday by Deputy

The boat was sold to satisfy an in

$1,000 due him for supplies. She was
appraised at $4,000 and all rtvermeu
say that she could not be built fol
less than $4,000.

sof ID Boughton. consulting engi
neerf Tor the county; vas aslted about
the status Of the movement for new
structure In place Of the old suspen.
sion bridge. He said that there was
little OF nothing doing At present. Al
announced some time ago the B. and
has asked that the vest end Of the
bridge be. raised so that their road
may be built under the bridge and NOT
at grade. The county court has sub
mitted figures to the officials Of the
railroad showing what the additional
icost will be and telling them that the
court is willing to make the change
provided the railroad viii pay the ad.
ditional expense incurred. Professor
BOughton says that 1t Is very likely
the matter will be laid before the d.
lrectors Of the road before final action
is taken. Just as soon as the county
court learns of the decision of the
road tney will have the plans for the
bridge prepared and will let the con-
; tract for the structure.
1t has developed that the hitch
which has occurred In the construc-
ton Of the proposed railroad is due
to the efforts OF the B. and O and the
Pennsylvania. They own 50 per
cent. Of the stock in the B. and N.
holdings The P. and L. E. railroad
owns the other half. The latter wish.
es to extend its lines up the river past
Mofgantown and on to EiEdns. The
other parties are willing that the
road shall be built to Fairmont, but
they want 1t to stop there.
The P. and L. E. wants to get to Ell
kins and go on to a connection with
the c. and o. which is closely affiliat.
ed with the people who own the Lake
Erie President SHOEMAKER, presi-
dent Of the P. and L. E: is quoted as
authority for the statement that his
road is going to follow the river past
Morgantown and not go over the
other route in the western end Of the
county which is also owned by the
syndicate.
The decision of the directors in
regard to alteration OF the local bridge
plans will be a valuable tip as to
what is to happen. Another thing
which may cast some light on the
situation may be furnished by Graf
ton. At that place a county bridge is
being built across the river and the
right Of way Of the B. and n. 1t may
be necessary to make some slight al
teratIons in the bridge in order to
let the road be built under it. If this
is done or anything is put into the
bridge to show that railroad is to
pass under. it. this VIII be an indica,
ton that the railroad people expect
to begin building before long. In case
there is nothing Of the kind it will
not necessarily prove that there is
going to be nothing, doing as alter.
ations may be made at slight expense
at some future time.
