 But, continues the narrative;
 A living margin for the masses must be provided above the cost of conquer ing the disadvantages of development and marketing, To summarize, the prime factors needed in making Alaska Yukon are:
 l. People.
 ?. Transportation.
 Normal Auglo.Saxon government and human individual diligence would suffice to reclaim such richly endOwedtlO- main in most parts of the earth. But here is a region which, while broadl! speaking as regards the time when it shall be broadly developed, occupies the center of things, is for the present in the anomalous position of being ia from the base of much of It's supply, tn, federal seats of government, the ceDter of capital and the mass of humanity These facts call for special lines of ac tion for this country as compared with many other new regions,
 Accepting the present nucleus pOpu. lation and those profting or to profit as individuals or as nations or cities as having at heart the develoment of AL aska-Yukon, and assuming there is no one Napoleouic individual to force de,. tiny, there is needed united action and policy-piloting, The people Of today and accommodating recruits should bend every effort above all things to keep alive the progressive spirit, for all ao- tion and course of empire not left to mere chance or recklessness must be outlined first In the mind. "All is waste and worthless til
 Arrives the wise selecting will"
 Ia conclusion the writer says:
 "Alaska- Yukon's destiny is sure, but | the ouidinp star 10 the speediest realiZa- tion of the we'll rounded empire must be economical exploitation, which sup ports the prophetic words:
 'T hear the tread of pioneers,
 Of millions yet to be;
 The first low wash of waves where
 soon
 Shall roll human sea,
 The elements Of empire here
 Are plastic yet and warm,
 The>chso of a mighty world
 Is rounding into form"

AN EMPIRE WITHOUT 4 PEOPLE.

The September number of the Alas la-YukOu magazine is called a Dawson number, being almost wholly devoted to that capital of the Yukon, and with 1t the Yukon. It contains froutlsplece photograph of the city, treatment in various phases by various writers. For instance there is good description by Marietta v0sburg, "A trip to Oawson," by Mrs. G. H. Wheeler; Animals and birds of the Yukon" by P. M. Kelly; "Agriculture in the Yukon, |" by William Steinberg; "Yukou Mining Methods" NJ. saund. ers; "EsrlY Law and Order in the Yukon, by Major Zachary Taylor Weed, commander of the R. N. NJ.

P; the story Of "The Real Discoverer of Gold in the Yukon" Robert Douglas Tender son, by Mrs. William Campbell Low den; 8 review of the various churches in the Yukon, by various apostles oi the same. But the notable article oi the number is entitled "Alsska and tbe Yukon, "and is written by Charles R. Settlemier. It is sn intelligent anG sympathetic discussion of the economic problem affecting the commercial social and political conditions involved in the development of the northern empire. It treats of the conditions of the great outdoors of the north and its possibilities with the proyisos-the need, the absolute necessity of opening up lines of transportation if that des- tiny that is possible to it Is to be fulfilled. Mir. Settlemier is editor ot of the Dawson News, newspaperman who has been longer employed, continu ously, as a writer on the ground, than any other lu the north, and is therefore in position to speak with that author ity that comes of practical knowledge. Be takes as his text an observation made to him by Daniel Guggenheim, Alaska Yukon is sa empire without Q people," and from which he goes on to show how the vast empire may we'll sustain a large population PRO- YIDED avenues of travel may open up the country to them, and their sub- stance be not consumed in reaching their destination, or absorbed in that battle with the hostile forces of nature necessary to bring them under sub iectlOn.
 To quote;
 "Alaska-Yukou with it's SOO,OOO miles is equal in area to sixteen Eng lands. Were it to sustain the density Of population of central Asiatic nations, Alaska Yukon would have 1000 people to the square mile. But reduce IL to only three persons to the square mile, and, exclusive of the thousands of miles of sea banks, this NOrthland will sus- tain millions.
 "Thls Alaska-Yukon, with it's spare handful of pioneers, not exceeding 6O,. 900 souls, has had nine-tenths of the active force of today here not more than 8 decade, yet has produced the splendid returns in wealth touching a billion dollars.
 This modest advance corps has gained far more than the immediate pscuniary returns which line their pockets, and the greater gain Is the knowledge Of the riches in store. This is invaluable especially to those who balIeve iu being early in virgin coun- try in order to get advantage of it's growth.

WANT CHANGE MADE
Illinois Manufacturers Ask
Commission to Make a
Change in Traffic.
CLAIMS ARE NUMEROUS.

The traffic committee OF the I'm.
nois Manufacturers association has
addressed letter to the traffic OIL
Gals of the railroads asking for a
change in the methods employed In
checking shipments. which Is expect
ed to save great deal of expense and
annoyance both to the carriers and to
the shippers.
1t is claimed that many OF the roads
make a practice OF checking waybills
only for undercharges and that the
same care is not exercised to see that
the shippers are not charged too
much.
An immense number of claims, many
of them for small amounts, are daily
presented to the railroads for freight
overcharges above the lawful rate.
due to the errors of rate clerks and
others in the railroad employ. or to
the mistakes Of shippers in failing to
make proper description of their ship
ments in accordance with the tariffs
and classification. These overcharg-
es are often a source of great annoy
ance, not only to the shippers but to
the railroads as well. besides entail
ing a large expense to the roads for
clerical labor. etc. in the after-inves-
tigation and settlement OF claims.

wards have been hailed by Chicago
tailors as the logical development OF
the promenade of fashions for men.
The news from New York that trous-
ers of the Sheath" pattern have been
introduced for the benefit of the f1ossy
boys of Broadway has set local tailors
to anticipating the adoption of the
trousers with the laced side seams
for Michigan boulevard wear.
The tailors are enthusiastic about
1t, and those who cater to college men
are preparing to work overtime get
ting out models to tempt the students
as soon as they arrive here to start
work at Chicago and Northwestern
universities.
The only hitch in the plans so far
is that the black frock coat is the
proper thing to wear with the new
trousers, but the tailors are given en-
enlargement by the hope that the
frock coat may be found necessary for
all who walk the college campus.
Such veteran critics of things sar-
torial as John Farson and James
Hamilton Lewis naturally have been
delighted by the invention of the new
trousers and quietly are making plans,
1t is said, to be the first to appear
with the new models in Chicago. Mr.
Farson already has ordered a pair for
the Oak Park horse show, according
to rumor, with the intention of wear
ing them with one of his new direct
DIRE overcoats. which created furore
a short time ago. Mr.. Farson believes
this is to be sheath" season in fash
ions for men as well as women.

Perhaps there is no other subject of

the bar of public opinion as Tolstoi

If any other Russian had done as
Tolstoi has done he would in all prob
ability have been hurried to a pris-

But upon Tolstoi even the Gear OF All
the Rustias is afraid to lay the iron
hand. The car has millions of sold
iers to execute his will, but he is
afraid to crush a feeble old man, who
is within his power as absolutely as
the humblest peasant is.
Tolstoi enjoys immunity because he
stands for the eternal principle Of JUS

mere principle can prevail against
brute force has passed. Has it? If
