In the management OF the road. 1T is
understood in Wall Street and rail-
road circles that 1t was mainly due to
so-called Hartman influence in the
Baltimore e. Ohio, large block OF

cific. and. which for ali practical pur-
poses amounts to controlling inter-
est. Mr.. Murray Is in his s3rd year

MIDDIES SHOW LACK

Washington, Jan. 4-Sweeping reforms
In the athletic instruction In vogue at
the Y. 3. Naval Academy are being un-
by Surgeon General Rixey. 1t
transpires that General Rixey has de-
tailed Passed Assistant Surgeon Paul f..
McDonnold to the academy to make a
thorough inquiry into the causes leading
up to the failure Of upper classmen to
pass the physical tests. although the
men, when admitted to the freshman
class. were compelled to pass a most
rigid examination.
One of the principal causes, 1t Is de-
clared, was found to lie In the system Of
training followed In preparing men for
athletic and field events. This Ia to be

say that not n single Nermont-groMn

MORE ROADS WANTED

The most expensive item in Alaskan mining is transporta- tion The present high cost of moving freight from the steam CT to the mining districts is the cause of 1nuch good ground re maining unw0rked, and of much that $ worked being worked at loss or very little profit. Lines of railroads intersecting the country will in time greatly as. s,ist in opening ID outlying dis tl'icts, but these lines will be of little use to the miner unless they are supplemented by good wagon roads 10 the mines them selves. The present system Of building Alaska's roads under the supervision of the military authorities is not a good one, in
 asnuch as it limits the amount to be spent to the amount that can be obtained as an army ap- propriation- What is wanted is & special department to cater for Alaska 5 needs so far as roads are concerned. The vast profit which the United States has made out of the territory of Alaska should entitle this coun- try to greater consideration than it has received in the past, and the grant for road construction should be commensurate with our necessities. While money is being spent like water on ir- rigatiOn schemes in Arizona and elsewhere, we have the greatest difficulty in securing sufficient money to keep our present roads in repair. let alone for new con struction. If Alaska were sup ported by the people outside, this state of affairs would be un- derstandable, but while we are pouring millions into the United States cotfers it is a gross injus- tice that we should be unable to

FAIRBANKS AND IDITAROD

It's an ill wind that blows no good. Although we may be sorry that the Fairbanks district is going to be denuded of so much of its best labor, still there are many merchants of the town to whom the Iditarod stampede is proving fO be a veritable boon. Tents and camp supplies are selling like hot cakes, and some of the smaller storekeepers are doing better than they have done for years. Others who have been growing Respondent dur ing the long quiet winter are now filled with hope. Such is the change which can be wrought in a few weeks in this land of gold and sunshine.

LUMBER INDUSTRY

Sherwood and Lilly have cut over one million feet of lumber from the Salchaket during the past season, while Knut John son has taken over half a mil lion feet from the same place. This practically cleans out the Salchaket country.

Yet while the administration haggles over the paltry amount it will allow us for wagon roads and trails, it is willing and anxious to spend millions in ship subsidies and guarantees of interest to billion aires who wish to build railroads for the development of their own private properties.

We have already had experience of miners, and of lawyers as dpie- gates and We think that it would be we'll if man of another pro fcSsjOn were selected as the Democratic nominee.

Major Strong has q very large follow ing at Nome, Cordova, Katalla and Juneau. and would be sure of election it he wore nominated hy the Democratic party.

The se- lection of a weaker man than the major might well spell ruin for the Alaskan Democrats at the election Although success is well within the grasp of the party. it does not do to take any chances upon so important a matter, and 9 weak man might very easily split in the ranks of democrats. while a strong, $ U hs tantial, straightforward man like Major Strong would in sure cohesion and command sue cess Major Strong k the best man to send to Washington.

THE FUTURE OF ALASKA

The remarkably rich ~howings from the mill tests of the Craw- ford ore indicate the enormous possibilities of tue territory of Alaska as q quartz country. Not a week passes hUt what some new find of quartz i, made in the vicinity of Fairbanks, and in nearly every instance the assays show values considerably higher than those which are obtained in almost any other part of the tine world In addition to the Fairbanks region, tue vast de pOsits Of ore in the BOnnitield district, and in the Alaskan range are sure to receive the at tentiOn they deserve in the not far distant future. The Kenai peninsula, the Seward peninsu- la, the great region of the Roy ukuk and other districts are known to contain enormous quartz areas, and when the cX- tent of these deposits is more fu}ly known to the outside world there will be such great demand for Alaskan properties that the prospector will be kept jumping to supply it. At present the immense resources of this ter litory are WelknoWn to the Gug- genheims and MorganS, but they are willfully holding back the truth until they can gather the whole of the country's wealth into their own capacious lnaW. The future of Alaska does not lie, however, in the hands of the MOrgans. nor the Guggenheilns, nor even in the hands of the president of the United States. It lies first and last and all tine in the people of Alaska. No government can be forced upon the people of this territory against their will, and any tenn purary concession which is made to the money interests by con greSS will be reconsidered by Alaskans at later date In the meantime it behoves all who have the interests of this great land at heart to work shoulder to shoulder for it's advancement upon proper lines, namely, jus ticeand freedom 'for all, but special privileges for none.
