EDIsoNs LATEST INVENTION

Thomas A. Edison has come to the
front with joint monograph and
photograph records, called the kline
tophone," which are in reality
talking pictures. The wizard has been
working for some time on this machine
and has at last perfected it. if the New
York papers are to be believed.
In the course of a few months Mr..
Edison expects to put metropolitan
grand opera into the country districts.
take the great actors into out-of.the
way places and produce campaign
speeches of leading statesmen in the
isolated school houses and crossroads
stores.
The machine will not be perfected
80 that it can be used in the present
campaign. but two years hence. when
a president is to be elected, the national
committees of the great parties will
have to do business with Thomas Edi.

Famous National Lease Sold

The National Mining Company a.
National, Nevada, has purchased the
famous Stall Brothers lease on the
company's ground. The amount OF
money involved is said to be $4,000
cash. This is the lease from which the
picture ore is being taken at great depth.
1t is so rich that the values are reckon.
ed by the pound instead OF by the ton.
The value of the ore is such that it is
frequently taken 70 miles to the near
est railroad shipping point by auto.
The production FROM the lease is at the
rate of about 800. OOO, 900 a year.

HIS RESCUE.

The Old Ferryman Wanted to Save All
He Could.
Before the erection of the pier at the
Castle Rock passengers from Dunbar
ton, Scotland, had to be conveyed
down the Leven to the Clyde steamers
by a ferryboat. rowed by two sturdy
and generally elderly ferrymen. Oh
one occasion an English commercial
traveller had seated himself on the gun
vale at the stern. One of the old fer
rymen. aware of the danger to any one
so placed when the rope of the steamer
should be attached to the bow Of the
boat, took occasion to warn the man
of his danger.
"Noo, my man, come down afr that
or yen coup over"
The traveller replied by telling him to
mind his own business and trust him
to take care of himself.
"Weel.'' said the ferryman. mind
I've telt ye. As sure as ye're sittin'

No sooner had the rope been attach
ed and the boat got the inevitable tug
from the steamer than the fellow went
oyer the stern.

However. being in the water, it be-
hooved that every effort should be
made to rescue him. So the ferry man
made a grab at what seemed the hail

Throwing this i%mpatiently into the
boat, he made a grip at the collar OF
his shirt, when the front anne away.

Want Rates Still Further Reduced

The members of the Nevada Railroad

sufficient evidence before the Commits

above earlier level has resulted in stream
cutting which obscures its original plateau
character 1t is in the extensive valleys and
on the adjacent slopes of the Yukon Tanana
and Kuskokwim rivers and their tributaries
that the interior forests reach their best devel.
opment.
The Rocky mountain region is compare
lively narrow elongation of the Rocky noun
tain system of North America, and stretches
across northern Alaska nearly from east to
west. The mountains of this region reach a
considerable though in no case noteworthy
height. On their southern slope head many
streams which empty into the Yukon; those
on the northern slope empty into the Arctic
ocean.
The Arctic slope region, lying north Of the
Rocky mountain region, is composed of roll
ing tundras, in which truly Arctic conditions
prevail. 1t has been less explored than any
other portion of Alaska.
In many places in the interior the post
glacial silts and sands form an excellent soil,
and upon them whatever future agriculture
there may be in Alaska will chiefly be devel-
oped.
The climate of the southern and southeast
ern coast region of Alaska is mild and wet.
The annual precipitation at Juneau and Sitka
is from 80 to 80 inches. At these points the
precipitation is chiefly in the form of rain, and
only during short time in the middle of the
summer are there likely to be days when rain
does not fall. In the mountains Immediately
above tide water, however, the snowfall is
very great. This increases to the northward
and at Valdez a winters snowfall Of nearly
sixty feet has been recorded. The lowest tenn
perature record at Sitka Is 4 degrees F.
below zero, and the highest 81 degrees At
Juneau the lowest record is 10 degrees below
zero, and the highest SO degrees. The Sitka
temperature is but little cooler than that of
the northern part of Puget sound or of Scot
land.
Sharply contrasted with the climate of
southeastern and southern Alaska is that of
the central plateau regions of the interior.
The Pacific mountain system cuts off the
warm, moisture-laden ocean winds so that the
interior has a semi-arid continental climate
subject to sudden changes and great extremes.
Satisfactory records are lacking, but such as
are available indicate an annual precipitation
in the Yukon valley of about fifteen inches
including melted snow. AS low as 80 degrees
F. below zero has been registered in winter,
and in the summer as high as SO degrees. The
summers are short and comparatively hot;
the winters long and intensely cold.
Despite the low temperatures and long win
tiers of the Yukon valley there is ordinarily
a good growing season of at least three
months. During much of this time daylight is
almost continual. and growth is rapid. This
compensates in marked degree for the short
of the season; and since the evaporation
is not great the vegetation is by no means Of
arid character, notwithstanding the small
precipitation. The frozen subsoil Is practically
impervious to water, which accumulates in
poorly drained areas and causes the many
swanps and "muskegs."

Most of the internal improvements of
Alaska have been made by the war depart
ment. The telegraph system is constructed
and operated by the signal corps with offices
at all important points. Transmission depends
not only upon cable and land lines, but on
high-power wireless stations as well. Roads
ere built chiefly by the corps of engineers Of
the department.. Railroads., except for
short lines running out to few mining camps,
are utterly lacking and the total railway mile
age does not exceed $780, Transportation in
summer is by steamboats, on the larger
streams and by polling boats on the smaller
ones in winter, by stages where the roads are
good enough, and more generally by dog
teams. Alaska has 1000 miles of navigable
rivers; without them most of the present de-
velopment would have been impossible.
Alaska does not have even a territorial
form Of government, though during the past
few years it has had delegate in congress-

appointed by the president and the senate
but no legislature; all legislation is by con-

The United States geological survey recog
nizes four main divisions of the surface of
Alaska These are:
Q) The Pacific mountain system, which, in
southeastern Alaska, is a continuation Of the
mountains of British Columbia, extends north
west to the Mount Mckinley range, and then
swings sharply to the southwest, with pro-
longation far into the Pacific ocean, repre-
scented by the Aleutian islands.
(2) The central plateau region, which in
cludes most of the Yukon and Kuskokwim ba
sins.
(s) The Rocky Mountain system, which
hounds the central plateau region on the north
and northeast.
(4) The Arctic slope to the northward of
the Rocky mountain system.
THE Pacific mountain region is character
ICED on the coast by innumerable fords and
inlets, by deep inland passages and mountains
which rise thousands of feet almost straight
nm from tide water. In the interior 1t culm1-
mates in Mount Mckinley, tie highest point
nm the North American continent. There Is
very little level land in this region, especially
IN the southeastern part. The mountains are
great masses of rock and tho upper parts OF
them are covered with perpetual snow and ice.
On the coast many glaciers reach tide water,
hut in the interior they are confined to higher
attitudes.
The central plateau region is not so much
a plateau as it is rolling hill and low noun
tain country with wide stream valleys. Its
area is nearly as great as that of the other
three combined. The raising OF this region

Opportunity Of suffraaist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
Of the magazines how the women OF
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, 7nhaH the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at ths same time.
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing 1T. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.
