lcaE Hawaiian company would have
had the merchant freight. as well as
the sugar freights, sewed up in a
bag; the Matson company could
not have entered the passenger bus
iness or bid for the freights, and
the Oceanic would probably have
been driven out of the Honolulu
trade. For all of this Honolulu
would have received one steamship
with hrst-class passenger accommo-
dations.
This reminder is not uttered in
any disrespect to Mr.. Dearborn and
those associated with him. We
merely note the fact to indicate that
his company has never made moves
along the line OF passenger. service
without asking very comfortable
contribution on the part OF the peo-
pie OF this city, not only in casn
investment, but in most exceptional
guarantees of freight. That scheme
TO which Mr.. Dearborn has recalled
attention was good deal like the
plan,passed UP to Congress for guar
anteeing the bonds of railroad in
tended TO he run through district
where freight was fully developed
and merely waiting for the road to
come. Congress turned the railroad
scheme down. Business men may
love and do appreciate the excellent
qualities OF the Observation-Disclosures
Steamship Company. but many have
n feeling that they do rot care to
trust their industrial, financial and
transportation soul for all time to
that company. which, up to the pres
ent time, with its mountainous two
hundred and seventy thousand tons
of freight. has not brought fora
anything more than passenger
mouse capable of accommodating
twelve people. To be sure, We
are told there Is n forty-passenger
steamship on the stocks building for
this trade, but we have to remember
that the Virginian was once hailed
as u passenger steamship and that,
somehow. the passenger end of It
struck snag before the echoes OF
the shouts Of praise and alteration
had died out.

Chief Kruger had stopped giving or

Then there was dead silence, while
four men waited in the b%lackness.

surely no more than two. before the
others returned, dragging 4 ladder and

"All right now, chief"! yelled the
driver, bending his head as far as he
could to make himself heard below.
But there was no response. On the
contrary, the driver felt the grip upon
his rubber booted leg relaxing. The
encircling arms slipped from his thigh
to his knee.

was too late. The arms let go alto
gether, and the driver heard a splash
in the water as when a body rolls over.
At the same instant Galvan, impa-
tient of the unavoidable delay in up
ending the ladder in a low ceiled Gel
lar, slipped by the driver down into the
water.
He also held to Hergenrother's leg
with one hand while with the other he
CROPPED about in the water until he
touched the deputy chiefs fingers. He
grasped the drowning mans wrist and
shouted for the ladder. When that was
finally put down Galvan stood upon the
lower rungs and dragged his chief up
to where the men above could take
hold Of him.
Galvan had recovered the body, but
there was nothing else to be done. It
is not at all probable that Kruger was
alive when he was finally dragged up
the ladder and taken out to the side
walk.
Long before that Chief Croker had
summoned doctors from st. Vincent's
hospital, and they had arrived with
n ambulance and a tank Of oxygen.
The surgeons knew that the case was
hopeless. but, urged on by Croker and
his men. they worked for hours, and it
was nearly daylight before the men of
the department would admit that their

PULP WOOD IN ALASKA.
Transportation Facilities Only Needed
to Open Up Enormous Forests.

Another valuable item has been add
ed to Alaska's growing list of undeyel-
oped resources, Recent expert eXami-
nation OF the timber in the SuShitna
basin has confirmed the belief that it
is pulp wood of IL high quality. The
timber is poplar. cottonwood and
spruce, but little Of which is of com
mcrrial vaiue for lumber. The land on
which this growth stands includes the
3,j3H,5UD or more acres estimated as
grazing ana farming land and on
which h0mesIcading recently began.
This area. distributed among the vari-
Gus valleys OF the basin. is for the
most pare covare with q IuXuriant
growth of wild redtUp grass. with little
underbrUsh and only 4 moderate stand
of timber. 1t is obvious that With q
reasonably convenient market for pulp
wood and water transportation, of
which there is much, the cost of clear
ing these lands might be greatly re-
duced if not made a profit by the sale
of the timber as 4 byproduct.
On kenai peninsula. along the line Of
the seventy mile Alaska Central rail
road. alone there are many thousands
of acres of available pulp wood. and
this will be increased with almost
every nile of the roads extension to-
ward the Matanuska coal fields. The
value of this supply of pulp wood in
American territory and the practicable
ity Of utilizing it was first pointed out
by Levi Chubbuck of the department
of agriculture, who visited the region
last summer Still more recently Sena-
tor George j. Baird of Canada went in
to the Matanuska coal fields and was
greatly impressed by the vast area Of
pulp woods as well as the splendid
grazing lands they stood on. He pre-.
diets the rapid settlement of this re-
gion by farmers and cattlemen.

Deputy Chief Kruger of the New York City Fire Department Die,
as He Lived, Leading His "Boys' In the Peril

Charles W. Kruger, deputy chief Of
the New York city fire department..
was drowned on Feb. II in Il subcellar
into which he had fallen through an
open trap while leading Il company Of
his men to Il point of vantage for fight
ing a bad fire.
No surer death hole could have been
contrived than the pit in which the
heroic old fire leader lost his life in
spite of the struggles of his men to
save him. There was six feet of wa
ter in the subcellar, and above that
was the main cellar filled with deadly
fumes from many broken and melted
gas pipes. No doubt the deputy chief
had been weakened by these fumes,
for his struggle in the water was short.
The last cry that came up from the
pitch dark hole was "Save me, Andy
Andy was Andrew Hergenrother. the
deputy's driver, who not only took his
chief to every blaze for many years,
but followed him like a shadow in and
out OF danger. He followed him half
