 Be Found In New Territory

That Alaska Is country of possibili- ties unsuspected, with resources that are out scratched. and with enough territory 10 make six great states, each richer than any Argonaut's dream, IS the bur den of Major General A. W. Greely's new Handbook of Alaska"
 It is generally conceded that General Greedy knows as much, Ii not more than any other man about Alaska. He states unequivocally that agriculture IS a lorg-ncglected opportunity. and that the man who takes up homestead there now in either the Susitna. Tanana or Copper River valleys is laying the foun- Gation for a comfortable fortune. As the land laws with regard to homestead ing now stand. the path of the settler IS made both easy and profitable and the markets are opening up rapidly. While mining was unquestionably the medium for introducing Alaska to the nations, the bulk of its wealth in the future will be drawn from its coal, its farms, its lumber and countless other resources. 4 country that cost seven millions and has so far turned in to its purchasers over three hundred millions deserves well of its owners. and that IS but fore taste of what Alaska can do. and will do. The coal in particular IS of such infinite quantity and quality that even the vaunted Pennsylvania fields look ,lean by comparison, and when the cum berSome and slow-moving governmental machinery can be induced to allow the coal 10 be used instead of uselessly locked in the earth. Alaska will develop at a rate that will be measured in bil- lions instead of millions Q
 General Greedy has set forth his sub ject well. and shows to what extent the country that can produce luscious straw berries in five weeks as far north as the Arctic Circle. can be depended upon to furnish returns The Handbook of Alaska" will go far to removing the silly beliefs that the country IS land of snow and ice, for, as IS shown, 1t IS men toned as an incident that Juneau. the capital. is in the same latitude as Edin- burgh, and that the agricultural condi- tons are precisely equivalent, and in some cases superior to Norway and Sweden. Also in many cases the coun- try Is vastly ahead of the United States in its development, for it is dotted with wireless telegraph stations; IS building railroads at the rate of miles day; IS making permanent roads as fast as possible: IS attracting settlers in hordes and incidentally offering, under the in telligcnt supervision of private capital, such opportunities as are generally only dreamed 1.9 Private capital has already made a vast new ocean port.

The Wriehts Change Their Policy.

Mir. Wilbur Wright announced in New York the other day that he and his brother had changed their atti- tude in regard to public flights for money making purposes. Heretofore the WriShs have steadily refused to engage in exhibitions for gate-receipt profits. Hereafter they propose to be fin the game with Paulhan, Bleriot, Curtiss. Hamilton, Willard and other navigators of the air. The only sur prising feature Of this announcement should have been so slow in reaching the conclusion that they might as well reap some of the enormous rev enues that exhibition flights bring in. It is understood. however that their hesitation in this regard has been due to their belief that the experimental stage should be passed before the fly ing machine is made a common object of public exhibit
 In making the announcement re- ferred 10. MT. Wright dwelt on the wide field of usefulness which awaits the aeroplane the moment it can be made absolutely safe" It is as sumed that in deciding to make ex- hibition flights for money, he and his brother realize that the funds from this source will enable them the sooner to perfect their machine to the point of safety. That the aero plane so far is little more than a very dangerous toy. although a most thrill ling sight for spectators. everybody knows. But how soon the Wrights. or some of their French competitors or some obscure inventor now un- known-may produce an aeroplane which will be absolutely safe" mo- body dares predict The, problems awaiting solution are fully recognized They include the questions of start ing from any point without auxiliary machinery, the maintenance of equi- librlum by automatic means, and land- ing with safety. When these difficult ties have been overcome, the aero plane will quickly enter the field of commercial usefulness.
 May good luck attend the wrights in their efforts to perfect their ma chine. and may they gain a barrel of money from their exhibitions.

Hepburn of Idaho.

The Hon. Weldon B. Hepburn. a senator in congress from the state of Idaho, ''is a good man weighing 25O pounds" or more. avoirdupois His weight as a senator cannot be stated so exactly Judging from his flat failure as a war alarm, as demon- strated in the senate on Monday Of this week, it would take the finer scales of an assayer to fix his "heft'' as a statesman. For an hour or so Senator Hepburn volleyed, beloved which provided for the use of gov ernment tents by the confederate vet ersns at their annual encampment in Mobile, Alabama. next April. He waved the bloody shirt, and fit the war all over again" With all the ardor of the warrior who has failed to smell the burning powder of the battlefield, and with the characteristic but half forgotten frenzy of the pa rus NtoNAiOtN U. as having waited until the war was over before they got warmed up," Senator Hepburn charged the rebel breastworks and slew and slew until he waded in gore. Few more san guinary encounters have been witt messed since the battle of Antietam And when, breathless, he had finished and was gazing upon the field of ms ruthless slaughter, the senate pro- ceeded to vote on the resolution The roll call showed that every senator except MT Hepburn had voted for the resolution.
 The old rebels at Mobile will enjoy themselves in tents furnished by Uncle Sam, furnished in all good will by d republican congress and re- publican president. and Senator Hey burn will be left to mourn even as the whangdcodle mourneth for it's first born.
 No doubt the distinguished senator from Idaho will throw another fit when he learns that the eX-Yankees and the ex-rebels in Arizona propose to hold a reunion and love feast at Prescott this spring. But even an- other conniption will scarcely draw attention to himself. and we don't know how he is tO get into the lime light again-unless he shall favor the country with an oration on the subject of his relations with the Gug- Renheims.
