TENDERF0OT
 A GOOD CAMP

FAIRBANKS. Alaska.-ConscrNa- tive estimates of the output of the Tendorfoot district for the past season. made by men tuoroughly familiar with the work being done in the district show that a sum of between $350000 and $375,0OO has been produced in the Tenderfoot district during the past summer
 The output was not nearly as large as it might have been by reason of the fact that some owners merely took enough out of their properties to en- able them to develop other ground in which they are interested. In this way very large slice of th" output was immediately put back in the ground in the shape of labor on development work. and as a result the district is much further advanced than it might otherwise have been.

WHAT THE
 NAVY COSTS

At a glance the expenses of a naval demonstration in the Pacific may seem large. But when it is recollccted that the richest nation on earth is only guarding it's coasts and commerce. the item of S1.o00 a month per 100 men. an estimate regarded as conservative by naval authorities, or $2 900 OO00 a month for 10000 men: or $330GO, 900. say s40.OO0,00O a year for our entire navy ahoat in times of peace, or $l20.- 0OO.O00 per year in times of war the cost is not staggering in comparison with the resources and possible revc- nues of the United States. If we add to this figure $1OOO0O O00. an increase for material per year we have a fair approximate of what it would cost, cX- elusive of what would be spent by the navy department for repairs on shore. to meet a first-cass power at sea.
 Every frst-class battleship in the navy is equipped with four l2-inch guns, which during an engagement would fire a round a minute, so that during every minute of battle for 15 ships the cost would be $32, 900 for the 12-inch guns alone. and more than twice that sum for the entire main battery. TO fire d single broadSide from all of the guns of the Is battle ships headed for the Pacific would cost not less than $50.OO0 the salary of the president of the United States for ono year.
 The annual cost of maintenance for single first class Warship averages $500 OO0 or $8OO0O.O0 for the Pacific fleet: while the cost of maintaining ship of the monitor class exceeds $2o0, GOO; a gunboat, $l5OOoO, torpedo boat destroyer, $75,OOO; torpedo boot, $4OOOO and a submarine, $3O,OOO.
 A nation that can afford $22O,0oOOOo a year for navy alone, or less than $& per capita per annun.. automatically demonstrates it's strength to the world and places itself in q position not cas- fly assailcd. A sensational invasion of the Philippines, the taking of Hawaii and Guam, would be the most fatal boomerang to any power cssaring such q policy.
 Contemplating this possibility means a proper realization by the government of the United States of the obligation it owes to its SO,OOo.oOO people and its 10, ,0O0. 900 defcnseless wards It means that in the near future our commerce. and trade need not hesitate vcnturng into the remotcst lands. and that peace must though we have to fight TOT Il.
