The |" Social Queen."


 Something more than the usual death announcement or extended obit- uary notice was required in order to convince the great American public that lu the passing of Mrs. William Astor the country had lost social queen" But for recent interview published In one of the woman's pe- rlodicals the very existence of Mrs. Astor would have been known to few outside of her own circle. True, her day was long past, yet homage would have been paid the former queen until the very close if the Queenship were real and significant.
 It Is said that at the last ball given by Mrs. Astor there were 1000 guests. Perhaps 10000 or 5oOOO wished to be guests and failed of recognition. To this comparatively small number the leader whose nod or frown meant for them social prominence or social ob- scurity appeared as queen while her power lasted. A worthy queen she was, but as American society is con stltuted, especially in large cities, 1t was less her worthlness than her use fitness to social aspirants that won the loyalty of her subjects. A leader of intellectual force would not have been so readily effaced and so quickly forgotten. but, as Is often pointed out intellectual leadership Is not wanted in that realm of social activity where the Mrs. Astors hold sway.

SEATTLE IS AWAKENING,

The legislature of the state of Washington yesterday passed a resolution which will be sent to the national congress asking that SLOOO'- 900 be appropriated for the work of the Alaska Road Commission. This action is highly gratifying to the friends of Alaska. It may not have much weight with congress, but it is step in the right direction, If every state legislature in the northwest sent a similar appeal results would follow.
 Of late there has been tendency among the people of Seattle to give Alaska active aid. Seattle has rcaped a rich harvest from Alaska and is now realizing that something should be done in remrn-especially as that something will foster the health of the goose that lays the golden egg.
 Alaska needs advertising In no other way will our needs be attended to. Seattle is helping advertise us just at present-but Ben Franklin once said. "if you want a thing well done. do it yourself" The moral is obvious. Alaskans should get to- gether and advertise Alaska. It's the only way we will get self-government' good roads and new industries.

The feature of the annual report of the secretary Of the interior is the amount of space which is devoted to Alaska. and the amount Of iutorma- ton regarding the growth and deyel- opmeut of the great northern terri tory which is thus officially given to the people of the United States.
 The secretary takes the estimate of Governor HOggatt that the perma. neut white population of Alaska con, slsts of but 3IOOO, which many peo- pie familiar with Alaskan affairs con sider entirely too low. As the secre- tary. further in his report. estimates the value of merchandise shipped to the United States from Alaska during the year at SSI.766.O44. these figures being exactly correct because taken from the custom house records. it must be conceded that if there are but 3l .OOO people in Alaska, women and children included, they are the greatest wealth producers in the world.
 A good showing is made of the great coal resources of Alaska. the extensive fields of high grade coal which have been found and the work which is being done to extend trans. portation lines Co them, so that they may be developed properly The sec, retary suggests that the existing coal land laws require radical modified. ton.
 Apparently but little advantage has been taken of the opportunity now given to acquire homesteads Of arable land in Alaska. for only +a9 home. steads were taken up during the year This is a condition Of affairs which will not last long after trans portation facilities have been further improved. There are vast tracts of fine land which will be opened for use when the present railroad lines are extended. and they will be taken up rapidly thereafter. The work of the agricultural experiment stations has shown that wheat and oats can be successfully matured on lands in the interior, and that a great variety of fruits and vegetables can be grown Experiments in raising cattle and sheep have likewise been successful
 Altogether this portion of the re, port is of considerable advertising value to Alaska, and cannot but help to correct many prevailing misappre- hensions.-seattle P.-L
