been transported TO the river beyond.
and when. after many hours Of undis.

floors Of the passage, they resumed
their journey. they found the vas.

heavy timbers lay scattered over tho
floor. The archways leading beyond
had been blown away and the passage
enlarged. Great stones lay against
the wallis. and the huge cranes and
derricks stared upon the intruders
like a gallors.
They stood staring at the entrance
with white scared faces. gazing upon
the weird scene reflected by their
torches.

ALISKgS ANNIVERSARY
papers

The observance of the iortieth ami versary of the raising of the American flag over Alaska by the Alaska Club, oI Seattle, is of more than usual slgnlfc' ance at this time. Not yet do the American people fully appreciate the real value Of this rich possession, and not yet has the American government shown that intimate care for Alaska's material and moral welfare it should have shown long since.
 But the light is breaking ju upon the northern country. Forces are reshap- ing this vast empire Ot natural wealth Lines of communication are being opened up. New veins of wealth are being tapped aud exploited. Trade centers are building. Shrewd railroad CTS are eager to press their liues to the new sources of wealth, and, in fact, ev- erywhere energies are making for 8 greater Alaska, to be no longer looked upon as a stranger to the blessings of our constitutional system and a friend less orphan, of alien parentage, in the cold and cheerless north; for in the day to come, near day Of goodness and na- tional sanity, Alaska will be accorded those rights which Alaskaus are enti- tied to demand and receive at the hands of the federal government.
 Wha. Alaska may be forty years from now, no man is desperate enough to guess; indeed, if some man, knowing the personalities and possibilities of the northern country, should venture a guess in this behalf, there are sane men in this country who would look upon him as a dreamer of dreams i'm possible of fruitiou But, finally, whether the federal government shall discharge it's obligations early or late, Alaska will fully meet the expectations of those who are now seeking the just constitutional rights of the territory, and who, iu season and out Of season, sing Alaska's praises and battle val lautly for Alaska's rights Seattle PoSt-Tntelligencer.

NEWSPAPERS KILLED T

It is conceded the Jamestown Exposi- tiOn Is a failure. The barrels of money that have been dumped into she affair will be lost, and the country that looked forward to a boom for having given the show will get instead black eye for having done so, Back of tho failure has been made the startling discovery that one man, a uewswriter, is respOn- dblc for the tostering of the hopes of those who originated the plan. Whea the Fair was to be opened the manage ment invited a large number of news papermeu to attend the Opeuiug-ihey were to be the guests of the exposition, and the management fitted out an ex- celen, boat for them and made ar engagements to entertain them, but there was a small braiued man occupy ing an important position iu the direc- tOra.e, and he thought too much atten- tiOu was being paid to the newspaper men, so he substituted the big boa that was to be at the disposal of the writers and gave them instead a tub to ride in he in other ways, went out of his way to show his authority. The re- suit was that one of the newspapermen became indignant at the action of the little Draiued big position occupying man, and he got the others interested in bis way of thinking, and the report CTS refused to boost the fair as 1t should have been boosted, and now it has been definitely agreed that the collapse of the Jamestown show was the failure to get favorable assistance from the news papers.
