NOME, ALASKA, JAN. IA, 1908.
LAPS IN ALASKA.

That statement of Congressman Kahn about fortifymg Alaska throws an Illuminating ray on one phase of the war question which had formally been concealed from the eyes of those who live on the spot affected.
 The congressmau's staten ent means nothing more nor less, in fact, than that the possibility of Japan's capture uf Alaska is by no means remote. This looks anything but pleasant It may be all right to level some humorous shafts at the idea. but that will not kill it kahn thinks Southeastem Alaska of fyrs some promising bases for an en- cmy's accommodation. and mo one who looks at the matter carefully will he inclined to dispute his word.
 At the present time Japans nearest base to the United States is Japan, which is several thousands of miles away while a strong Japanese base could well be made possible at some point near Ketchihm for instance, which is only some six or seven hun drcd miles from the United States proper
 With Southeastern Alaska in the hands of the enemy, communication with other parts could easily be cut olf so, really, it is no Gay dream to insist that Alaska is in peculiar fix,
 of course, the likelihood is that no war will take place in the near future. The idea of fighting seems monstrous. Japan is probably running big bluff" and would start in before the arrival of the American fleet in the Pacific if her intentions were really bellicose.
 She has the Pacific coast and the islands temporarily at her mercy. But she knows that a foul blow would be followed by a bloody reckoning as sure as day is followed by the night. Yet the uneasy feeling will not down. and we here in Alaska feel that we are not. after all, so far away from the scene of hostilities
 Probably the hardest pin you could give an Alaskan to swallow is to place him in the power of fellows whom he never met except as walters and sWampers in the ten-ccnt restaurants of Seattle.

THE DADDY IF BAKERv|LLE
 TALKS OF PROPOSED GAR LINE
Says Ii Wia Be Built In the Near Future, and That He Will Rehabilifate the Baker vile Hotel.

Jacob Pirrung, the daddy of Baker vile, and one of Bisbee's best known citizens, expresses confidence in the establishment of hofse-eazs service connecting BakeryiHe with the subur ban electric line. He says at will Dc built in the near future. The point where the contenA2ated road win connect with she Bisbee Warren tracks Is the station near the junction mine.
 According to Prong, local people, some of them residents of Warren, will organize the new company and furnish most of the capital. Such service to BakerVille would result in an increased rate of growth of that community and would also add to the eceipts of the electric road by reason of the incentive to the citizens, of that place to travel more senxzsn there and Bisbee. No pbt the present transportation company win aid the incorporators of the proposed ear line insofar as lies within their ability.
 Mir. PirTuDg intends to rehabilitate the BakerviIle hotel and plant a con- siderable number of trees around 1t, making it a pleasure resort for Bis beetles during the hot weather. Mrs. Pirrung, now at their home in New York, will join her husband here be- fore summer.
