at o'clock at the Public Library Charles
H. Caffin OF New York will review this
exhibition. The lecture is the second in
the course arranged by the Washington
Society Of Fine Arts and there is no fee
for admission. Mr.. Calm was for q
number of years the art critic Of q New
York paper and as both writer and lee
turer he has much distinction. He is the
author of "How to Study Pictures. 1.-THE
Story of Dutch Painting" 1.-THE Story Of
Spanish Painting and other works. He
is an Englishman by birth and first came
to this country to assist in experimenting
the mural decoration OF the Library of
Congress. Among his best writings are.
however. some essays on American paint
ers One may not always agree with Mr..
Caft1n in his critical estimates, but what
he says is Invariably well said and
thought-provoking.
INTERESTING reference is made by
Elihu Vedder, in his recently pub
lished autobiography, 1.-The Digressions of
"" to his mosaic Minerva" in the
Library OF Congress. AS an appendix to
his book he gives a list Of sales from
1856 to 1907. Up to 1857 he gives prices
also las an example ana q warning" 70
young painters: after 1857 no prices are
given, but each year is designated &C.
cording to its prosperity. The year 1897.
when the mosaic was executed. was not
apparently one OF the best. The receipts
of this year." says Mr.. vedder, were, as
they say books should be, few but good.
There were but three entries, the second
being the Minerva" Under this is writ
ten, by the artist and author: Mot the
greatest thing in the world-not the
worst; it might have been q Fluffy Ruff
fes' posing as Minerva. About half the
price went in expenses The previous
year Mr.. Vedder executed 1--WE panels for
the library. Of which he has this to say:
''They have at least this In their favor.
I made them to go with the architecture
to look as if made for the place they
occupy" About 314 works are recorded
In Mr.. vedders tables, and these he estt-
mates are only about half OF the number
produced, works begun and abandoned,
and futile work in general. For an idle
man, it must be admitted I have been
very busy is his own comment. Many
will remember with interest and pleasure
an exhibition Of Mr.. vedder's works
which was held in the hemicycle of the
Corcoran Gallery several years ago.

The Guggenheim representatives de-
clared that all the money spent by the
syndicate in it's large projects Of develop
ment of the Alaskan resources was fur
nished by the syndicate itself. that it
has proceeded under the general laws
applicable to Alaska, and has never re-
ceived anything from the government in
the way of money, grants of land or spe-
cial rights.
Messrs. Steele and Birch. in their testi-
mony. were frank in stating what prop
critics the acknowledgement syndicate
did not own in Alaska. and told of the
various steamship companies. railroads
and mines in which they were not in
terested
The syndicate to develop Alaska was
formed in the spring of 1905. In that
year it acquired by purchase about 46
per cent of the stock Of the Northwestern
Commercial Company, which at that time
owned the entire capital stock of the
Northwestern Steamship Company, and
Of the Northwestern Fisheries Company,
which latter company owned eight can
neries in Alaska, with a total pack of
about 100000 cases Of salmon. Other per-
sons and corporations, in which the
syndicate has no interest, 1t was stated,
own and operate about thirty-eight can
neries, with q pack of about 100000
cases of salmon. The remaining "a per

Building Railroad.

The syndicate has constructed about
1O2 miles of first-class, substantial, stand
ard-gauge road from Cordova, In Alaska,
to the Copper river and up the Copper
river. BY the close Of the season Of 1910
the road will be completed to the Bon
ANA mines, making a total mileage OF
about 1919 miles. The road. SO far, has
cost more than ten million dollars. and
under the estimates its completion will
require a further expenditure of more
than five million dollars. Every dollar
of this money has been furnished by the
syndicate ITSELF" it was stated. "Tne
syndicate has not issued to the public a
single bond or single share Of stock,
but has itself furnished the entire amount
Of money"
The syndicate, the speaker said, has no
interest in the Alaska Central railway,
the White Pass and Yukon route. or in
any other railroad in Alaska.
In 1906 the syndicate bought from the
owners Of the Alaska Copper and Coal
Company, the company owning the Bon
ANA mines, a 4O-per-cent interest therein.
In the spring Of 1909 1t purchased the re-
