GOVERNMENT AID NEEDED FOR LISA
 RAILROADS

Major Richardson, aS president of the Alaska Road Commission, in present. ing the annual report of the com mission for last year has this to say concerning the railroad building of which so much has been made:
 Touching upon the subject of raIl- roads in last years report, I stated, re- ferring 10 the various enterprises under way or projected at that time, tbat "none of these routes named g,vea promise, ia my opinion, of becoming any time iu the near future what Alas. ka needs iu the way of . trunk line or developer of the territory" This view has been more than confirmed by the progress of events sincs that time, especially in regard to the proposed routes from Valdez, Cordova or Orca, and Katalls. In these localities the situation has been marked by vGclllAt- ing policies, with many conflicting interests aDd legal complications, sc- compauied by more or less rIoting and some bloodshed, and with very little railroad building.
 To all of which all Alaska agrees that is to say in the matter of vscillat- ing policies and conflicting interests. Alaska has little hope from any private corporation of ever securing railroad such as will answer in any large way the need iu opening up the country. Is is hope we have that the govern ment will see It's way clear to back An enterprise as it saw It's way ln the Philippines. Continuing the report says:

COURAGE
.nnebbe-not.

There Is courage, a majestic thing That springs forth from the brow Of
 pain full grown, Minerva like; and dsres all danL CTS
 known, And all the threatening future yet may
 bring Crowned with the helmet of great
 suffering, Serene with that grand strength by
 martys shown, When at the stake they die and make
 DO moan, And even as the flames leap up are
 heard to sing A courage SO sublime and unSirSid It wears it's sorrows like coat of mail. And Fate, the archer, passes by dis,
 mayed, Knowing hls best barbed arrows needs
 must fail To pierce a soul so armored and array That Death itself might look on 1t and
 quail.

BISBEE EXTENSION
 DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

To tn stockholders:
 The regular meeting Of the stock. holders of the Bisbee Extension De velopment Company will be held on the second Monday in March (the ninth,) at it's office in the Medigo- vich building.
 At this meeting the matter of changing the par value of the stock to $500 per share and making all stock full paid will be taken up and acted upon. It Is the recommends tion of the Board of Directors, by ac- tion-taken at their meeting held on January 27th, that this be done and that all $500 paid stock be echang- ed for it's pro rata in $500 paid stock with the privilege to the stockholders of taking an equal number of shares by paying the additional $2.00 per share. The capitalization Of the com pany will remain the same, but there will be S0,0000 shares o1 $500 paid stock in lieu of 10000 shares of s10.00 stock.
 This recommendation is made by the Board of Directors because we are now fe touch with capital that expresses a willingness to finance the company if the. stock is made full paid and of $500 par value. It Is the opinion of the board of directors that this will be agreeable to the stock holders, as 1t win enable them to receive full paid stock in exchange for their $500 paid stock and thus relieve them from any further liabii- ity in the way of stock payments.

MORE ABOUT DEAD FALL.
Recollections of Before and Just At
ter the Way by a Former Resi-
dent of the Community.

Mr.. Editor: As I do not remember
to have seen anything in print since
the civil war in reference to that ex-
cellent neighborhood, "The Dead
FALL" in which community I had
the pleasure Of living several years
before and several after the war, as
a medical practitioner, so I feel
disposed to say something about
some at least of the very worthy peo-
pie Of that community, nearly all of
whom, men and women, have crossed
over the river. Ny medical predeces-
sor was DR.. Ben Worthington, an
excellent man and physician, but
whose days were much shortened, as
is common, by the unfortunate habit
of drink. Two of the most extensive
prominent and we'll to do families
were the Spearmans and Wertses, all
good people. James, Robertson, Sam,
Graves, Chesley, Lafayette Spear
man. Mike, Jonathan, Henry, Bel
ton and old Uncle David Werts. Mr..
James Spearman, the elder Of the
Spearman brothers, was a model citi-
zen, but somewhat puritanical in his
religious views. He looked upon dane
ing as a most heinous sin. [ heard
one of his sons remark playfully that
he believed his father regarded it a
sin for people to enjoy themselves.
Mr.. Spearman was four times mar
ried and never hesitated to say that
he never courted but the four women.
It would seem as if this was an un-
precedented case, but it was natural
that so sensible a man should go at
the business in the most sensible and
skillfull way. Another good but pc
culiar man was Esquire Mark Glenn.
He was quite wise in his own estima-
ton. He was mostly distinguished
for his feeding qualities. I have
heard it said that at one sitting down
he consumed an entire full grown
shanghai rooster with all the dressing
and other things in proportion, and
vet he never was known to complain
of hunger or the collie. I might men,
tion many other worthless, but will
only al1ude to Williamson and Milton
Buzzard, and Arthur McCollum, who
nlerchandised at the Dead Fall, and
John Galloway, young David Werts,
and Newton Davidson, all of whom
lost their lives in the war. The only
survivors I can recall of that CON-
munity who we're old enough to be in
the war and were in, are Fed Long,
Jim and John Reagin, Pat and Tom
Blair.

Mr.. John Hill. It was rented out for
number Of years, and after Mr..
Hills death was sold, when Mr. D.
G. Livingston, the present owner,
bought it.
Mr.. Livingston has remodelled the
house, and it is now an attractive and
commodious dwelling.
As stated above Mr.. 7. J. Mafett
was for many years the only mer-
chant at Silver Street. The fact is
that Mr.. Maffett owned a great deal
Of the land in and around Silver
Street and would not sell to anyone
else. Mrs. Maffett still lives at the
old homestead and retains the plan
tation. Mr.. E. H. Longshore who has
recently moved from Silver Street to
Newberry and the Spearmans who
have also moved away owned large
tracts Of land in and adjoining the
town and they also declined to sell.
This is very fine section of the
country and has adjacent great deal
of prosperous farming lands and
should be a most desirable business
location. No doubt if those people
who own the real estate in the town
and adjacent to it would be willing
to cut it up into small tracts and
lots that purchasers would easily be
found, and this would soon be a
much more important trading section
than it is at present.
