MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES IN
ALASKA.

The great problem in Alaska is that
of transportation. Every place of pres
ent Importance in southeastern Alaska
and southwestern Alaska is reached by
steamers. and the government is slowly
putting in the necessary lighthouses.
The one railroad over the White pass
is a convenient link with the upper
Yukon, and there are several lines IN
progress from the coast farther north
ward to the lower Yukon valley. Out
siders have strange notions about Alas
kan geography; a project was actually
formed for building a railroad from
Portland canal on the southern bound
airy of Alaska, to Skagway, ignoring
inlets which penetrate a hundred miles
up into the mountains, and quite over
looking the vast glaciers which come
own into the sea. over which no rail
road could possibly be maintained. The
Guggenheim interests are building a
road from Valdez northward to reach
copper and other mines, and rival
company has constructed one mile of
road out of Valdez. and has one loco

IF the Yukon valley proves to be
available for settlers, some time road
will parallel the river and thus keep
up the winter transit. At present the

PLAN TO KILL 10000 COYOTES.

Stockmen in Oregon, who claim they
are losing more than 100000 a year
from the devastation of the animals,
are planning to kin 10000 coyotes this
wear. Fully 10000 were killed last
wear. and the warfare is to be repeated,
in the hope of DISCRIMINATING the pests.
The Oregon Wool Growers Association,
including the sheepmen. and others IN
terested in the live stock industry have
handed together in this campaign and
will use traps, poison and other
methods Coyotes have caused heavy
losses in various parts of the state
especially in the Umatilia district
southwest of Spokane. where the
animals live by killing sheep. poultry
and wild game. such as pra'rie ehieK-
ems. grouse and other birds that nest
on the ground. Oregon IS the ohit
wool growing state in the Northwest
that has no bounty law. hence stock
men are compelled to pay the eXpense
of destroying the coyote or Of submit

HEARD ON THE FRONT

Captain Willett, master of the deep
water bark Foohng Suey, has seen
many changes in Honolulu since he
first sailed into this harbor He came
here first in 1869. when the Duke of
Edinburgh was here with the famous
Flying Squadron.
Things have changed wonderfully
since those times said the captain
the other day. ''Such a thing as a
street along the waterfront was hardly
dreamed of then, while, as matter of
fact, there were but a few paths
through the thick brush up to town.
We anchored in the harbor at the same
time the Flying Squadron was here.

mics when the dignitaries belonging to

be four or FIVE vessels loading at a
wharf for Australia, there is now one
steamship, the latter doing more trade
than the whole bunch of indiammers.
