A New Alaskan Excursion

The Alaska Steamship company con- templates adding a new excursion trip to Alaska. The Alaska excursions, which are growing more popular every year, have been heretofore confined to ten days trip to Southeastern Alaska and return. There are excursion routes to Atlin and Dawson in Canadian ter ritory, and also an excursion route for the round trip to Alaska by way of Skagway over the White Pass railroad down the Yukon, stopping at Dawson, thence to St. Michael, to Nome and re- turn to Seattle by way of ocean steamer. But comparatively few people, however, have taken this long excursion trip. The Southeastern Alaska trip has been very popular and Is growing in popu- larity.
 The new excursion trip proposed by the Alaska Steamship company com prises the Southeastern Alaska trip and 8 tourney beyond that to Cordova, Val deg and Seward The Copper River 6 Northwestern railroad is building from Cordova up the Copper river, and is now completed to the head of Aber- cromb bic canyon, distance of tifty-slx miles from Cordova. The company constructing this road is an allied cor poration of the Alaska Steamship com- pany and the new excursion trip will include transportation over this rail road up the Copper river, past two magnificent glaciers, the Miles and Childs glaciers, and through some of the most rugged scenery in Alaska.
 But the scenic features of Copper river arc not more interesting than the rugged coast line the tourist will see after the ship leaves Juneau and passes out of Icy strait during coast voyage of several hundred miles. For fully 100 miles the voyage is abreast of the face of the biggest glacier in the world, the Malaspina. Although this is now 8 dead glacier it seems to reach up to the towering eternally snow, clad peak of Mt. St. Elias. The Central Alaska range, which may be seen from the deck of the steamer, is one of the most rugged mountain ranges in the world. Then there are many features of inter- est at Valdez and Seward, and on La touche island, which is now the scene of great activity in copper mining. This excursion route will add another charm to the delights fan Alaskan steamer trip.-Alaska-Y Yukon Magazine.

"Slowly but surely there is s change being made in the Juneau dis trict regarding winter work, and there is no mine in our district that is not making preparations for the cold weather hereafter" said c. w. Young, who paddled his way to what is now Juneau shortly after Juneau and Har- ris made their discovery in the early sos. Mr. Young, who is prominent merchant and miner, arrived down from Juneau Saturday, says the P.-I., and said at the Rainier. Grand last evening: "I have seen that district spring from nothing to what I believe is the great est mining district outside of the Rand in South Africa, in the world. At least we are dropping enough stamps to say that much. Always, of course, in the lead is the Treadwell, and dur ing the coming summer 1t will be drop ping more stamps than ever. Then there is the Eagle River mine and the Sumdum and all the Gold Basin mines. All these and many others will be working this season, and l look for. ward to the Juneau district becoming famous for it's activity in quartz min ing. The fact of the matter is that we are better known abroad than at home, and the number of stamps now in use andbeing put in will exceed anything in America. However, we are we'll known in Europe aud New York, and that's where the money comes from. If we are not known out here it is the peo-
 q, pIe's fault, not our own."

What Alaska Wants

Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska, an nounces that his man purpose in con- gress will be to further the scheme for giving Alaska full territorial govern ment. This is the pledge of the plat form on which he was elected, and he was elected as an independent candi- date, in opposition to the candidates of both of the regular political parties, be- cause of that platform and his pledges to follow it.
 It is difficult to see how congress can honestly find arguments to avoid glv- ing the people of Alaska what they ask, the same measure of self government that is given every other community over which the American flag noats. The kanakas of the Hawaiian islands and all of the many semi. barharous tribes of the Philippine islands today have larger self.government than Is accorded the white American citizens of a territory on this continent.
 
 Of course Judge WickeTsham will ask other things of congress, things which it is right and just that this great undeveloped territory should have. He will ask that some assistance be given to the construction of rail roads to open up the interior. Con- gress has extended such assistance lih- orally to the Philippine islands, which have been burden upon the country instead of help to it since their ac- quisition. Alaska has been more than seIf-supporting. It has been revenue producer since it's acquisition, and, commercially, the trade with Alaska is more valuable than that with any other of the uoncontiguous territories of the United States.-P.L

Anderson Phosphate & OIL Co., An
derson, S. G.
Ctentlemen-Answering your favor
of the 18th will say that after preparing
the land we'll T put two hundred
pounds of fertilizer to the acre before
planting. At the second blowing I
applied four hundred and fifty pounds
more Of fertilizer to the acre and when
the first cotton blooms appeared I ap-
Piled seventy pounds of nitrate of soda
to the acre. I did this on sixty acres
of land which I planted in cotton and
on the sixty acres I gathered sixty
eight bales of cotton, Averaging 51l
pounds to the bale. And then, when
/ thought I had gathered the crop after
Christmas, I picked enough cotton to
make Up pounds of lint cotton so it
will be seen that altogether I made
more than seventy 500-pound bales of
cotton on the sixty acres. I cultivated
this cotton as I usually cultivate my
cotton except that it was fertilized bet
ter than usual. A good part of this
fertilizer was Anderson Phosphate and
Oil company fertilizer, the balance was
other standard brands. / was never
able to see any difference in the cotton
fertilized by Anderson goods and the
other goods. Yours truly,
