I'd. The Copper river valley, up
which the road must run, is notorious
for its violent winter windstorms, its
shifting. uncertain. silt falls; racing,
vagabond streams; deep snow; rocky.
slide secured canyons and advancing
glaciers. The river itself. the only
large stream emptying from the Alas
kan interior to the southwark, Is a
turbulent. silt laden. ice bearing tor
rent in which no man can swim TWEEN
ty strokes At one place it runs be-
tween great living glaciers that dis
charge millions Of tons of ice into its
current each day of the summer
months, and here the railroad must
run too.
Scenery Will Become World Famous.
The scenery is of unique grandeur,
but these scenic features. so soon to
become world famous, have represent
ed to the engineers problems OF unex-
ampled complexity. Many of these
problems were repeatedly declared to
be impossible of solution even under
the most favorable conditions OF
weather and with unlimited time.
Two years ago next month the first
lot of material and supplies arrived in
Cordova Since then construction has
been pushed forward with almost I'M
believable momentum.
In these two years permanent road
of a high standard has been completed
to the mouth of the Tiekel river, 1O2
miles from Cordova. Three great steel
bridges have been set over the swift
flowing Copper river, and fourth
across a great ice secured channel be-
low the berg lake of Miles glacier Is
far advanced and will be one of the
engineering wonders of the world.
Long stretches of tunnel and rock cut
and piling have been finished and a
feet of river steamers built and placed
in commission.
At Cordova end. where there were
no problems of Importance, much mon
ey has been spent in preparing for the
handling Of a heavy train service to
and from the mines.
The iron in the blood of the men who
are building this road shows apparent
ly in the blood of Cordova. for also
there has been fighting to do. Made"
towns like this one do not grow Of
their own volition in single year. 1t
takes organization. confidence and
much toll where ones home must, as
here, actually be carved from the eter-
nal hills.

One Light In Two Thousand Miles.
For the first time the great southern
coast of Alaska. more than 1000 miles
long, has this winter lighthouse.
Though one Of the most dangerous and
stormy coasts in the world and diff
cult of navigation. even in summer,
this area has been wholly neglected
until now. The first light is on Cape
Hinchinbrook, at one Of the entrances
to Prince William sound. There are
many other places where lights and
fog signals are almost as urgently
needed. notably Cape st. Elias, where
steamers are often held up for days
because of fogs and long. hidden
reef. Other lights are. however. to be
added next year.

Report of Geoloeist Brooks Shows
Enormous Yield This Year.
THE season of mining in Alaska has
been a prosperous one" says Alfred
III. Brooks. geologist in charge of the
Alaska work of the United States geo.
logical survey. who has just returned
to Washington from his annual Swing
around the circle" in the far north
west. While dry weather and other
unfavorable conditions have curtailed
the placer gold production at Nome.
most Of the other camps have either
maintained or increased their output.
Figures Of sold output are not yet
available. but it seems probable that
the production for 1909 will be be-
tween nineteen and twenty million
dollars. The low price of copper has
not encouraged mining of that metal.
but about half dozen properties ship
ped ore during 1909. 1t appears proba-
BILE that the Alaska copper output for
the year will exceed 100000 pounds"

EYE-TESTS
FOR UMP|RES
Each Indicator Handler to
be Given a Severe Optical
Examination Before Civ
ing Him Employment.

New York, Dec. 16.-New York g
winter fans are today proposing a
series of eye-tests for the umpires of
the National league, following the an
nouncement by President Lynch that
he proposed to submit every one Of
the indicator handlers to severe op-
tlcal examination before giving him a
job.
The statement was made by Lynch
during yesterdays session of the Ma
tional league magnates.
Some of the fans suggest that no
umpire be appointed whose eyes are
other than baby blue in color, that
they may match the general color
scheme. Others want the umpires to
be examined for ophthalmia astigma-
tism, strabismus, solerosis, and kim
dred ailments.
The National league magnates are
still in session, though little business
of importance was expected to be
transacted at todays meeting, which
was due to open at noon at the Hotel
Breslin.
The surprise of yesterdays meeting
was the dropping of Charles Ebbets
of Brooklyn, from the schedule com
mlttee, GDDetS mas Deen on TINS I'M
portant committee twenty years and
has framed more baseball schedules
than any other man. II is thought
Lynch had chance to get back at
the Brooklyn magnate for his cor
tinued opposition, and forced him off
the committee. 1t was Ebbets ana
Murphy who last year held out for
the prolonged season which gave
Brooklyn two games on Columbus day
The committee for the coming year
will be President Lynch, Secretary
Heydler and President Dreyfuss Of
Pittsburg. 1t will report in February.

Columbus, o., Dec. 16-Jealousy
among rival sweethearts of Florence
Baer, nineteen, whose body was found
Tuesday in a field on the outskirts
of Columbus, is the only hope of
the police working to solve the
mystery Of her death.
Detectives say that the girl had
two sweethearts, both of whom ex-
pected to marry her. Their plan is
20 play these men against each other
in the expectancy that one may give
Information against the other. II
this ruse fails, it is likely that the
mystery of the girls death will re-
main unsolved.
The police are now holding at the
city prison Charles Orcutt, twenty
four. who lived near the girls home
short distance from Grove City
Detectives say Orcutt told them that
he had been attentive to the girl and
named another young man who was
loosely acquainted with her. Officers
oday are seeking this admirer.
Police admit that even IL the man
responsible for the girls fate be APP
pretended. they have slight chances
of proving that a crime had beer
committed. The autopsy performed
by the police surgeons revealed the
girl would soon have become a
mother, but evidence to show that an
operation had been attempted was
lacking.
The theory Of the police shat tho
girl died from ether given her H.
preparation for an operation, can no,
be proven on account of the manner
IN which the postmortem eXamina-
o leave the lungs in a condition sc
that they could analysed for proof

Examination was made after sarcas
lie suggestions had been received
from Charles Orcutt. who was arrest
ID last night following the discov-
cry that the girl had made tele.
phone appointment with him ror
Monday. Orcutt asked the arrestint
officers why they had not questioned
Baer, or any member of the family
,egarding rumored family troubles II
the Baer household. He said the po
lice have stayed away from th'
girls home, and made no attempt tt
question her family or the neighbors
but arrested him the minute his
name was mentioned.
Orcutt steadfastly maintains that
he had not Seen the girl since No

The girl will be buried Saturday

A HALT IN
FLYNN CASE

Captain of Detectives Martin ].
Burns occupied the stand during
the entire day at the trial of Eliza
beth Gurley Flynn and c. l.. Filig-
no yesterday afternoon, Judge H. L..
KEENAN, admitting practically all Of
the evidence introduced by PrOsecu-
tor Pugh through the police Of
fetal. Owing to a legal holiday
the case has rested until Monday
morning.
Immediately following the open
ing of court Attorney T. j. Symmes
moved to quash the information on
the grounds that the offense
charged does not constitute an Of
Tense under the statutes and that
the information does not conform
to the requirements of the law. Aft
err sharp debate the court ruled
in favor of the prosecution.
When it developed that the ma
jority of the l. w. WIS were tried
on the charge of vagrancy, Symmes
argued that the evidence against
the prisoners was to no point, as
the persons who were alleged to
have been influenced to speak on
the streets had been arrested on
anothr charge.
Judge KEENAN, held that it made
no difference what charge the l.
w. w. speakers were arrested on
as long as the alleged object of the
defendants was to cOnspire to
break the laws.

The committee of As men from
the Spokane chamber of commerce
who went to Wenatchee yesterday
returned this morning at S45. All
of those who went are enthusiastic
over the reception they received at
Wenatchee and the good time they
enjoyed while there.
The Spokanites were the "big
noise" at the celebration and their
gay "Enakops" uniforms. made a
great hit with the Wenatchee peo-
pie. The Elks' quartet, which was
on hand, proved a great attraction.
Speeches were delivered by Sec
rotary l.. G. MuHroe, r. H. Hughes,
c. H. Moore and H. L. Moody, all of
which were well received. w. T..
Clark, prominent Wenatchee man,
presided at the dedicatory services.
In his speech Mr.. Hughes pointed
out what the apple show was doing
for this entire Inland Empire coun-
try. He pointed to the fact that
$50, 900 had been given by the cham
Der of commerce last year, a fact
which had done much to develop
Wenatchee.
The Great Northern depot at
Wenatchee, which is said to be the
best in the state in point of archi-
lecture, was also dedicated during
the time the local men were there.

PETTY LARCENY CASES
GIVING LOT Of TROUBLE

Petty larceny cases by the score
have been Fostering the police
lately. Hardly ever does a day 40
by but what several small burq.
iaries are reported. Most Of these
cases are reported from lodging
houses where the thieves make
easy access to the rooms by the
use Of passkeys.
Although the burglaries are In
nearly all cases reported immedi-
ately, and descriptions of the stolen
articles furnished, few, If any, ar
rests have followed this month.
The police have full list OF all
the pawnshOps where the stolen ar.
ticles would be taken to be sold,
but practically all of the victims
of petty burglars have received lit
tie satisfaction.
The use of "stool pigeons is
freely admitted about. the station.
Practically every plain clothes man
is known to have at least one of
these on his staff, and 1t is ad-
mitted that many of the patrolmen
use stool pigeons" in their work.
But despite the aid that is furnish
ed by these crooks, who are pro-
tected by the officers in return for
the information they furnish, bur-
glaries are reported every day, and
about the only official action which
is taken by the police is to make
note Of the robbery in their kick
book"
Two more burglary cases came to
light this morning. The room of
r. M. Graves in the G. N. hotel was
