The Susitna is a turbulent, silt bearing stream, which flows in many channels; and the same is true of most of it's tributaries It is not easily aSCended even in small boats, but small steamers are taken Up the Susitna as lar as the mouth of the Chulitna, and up the Yentna 10 the mouth oi the keeChatna.
 The entire Susitna basin has long been a hunting ground for the na- lives of Cook Inlet and the Susitna valley, and Caribou Pass afforded them means of communication with the Panama Indians, but it does not seem to have been much used. This is undoubtedly one of the easiest routes through the noun tains Wh Ch separate the Yukon basin rom the Pacific coastal prov ince, and is suitable for a rail- way.

Between tue Kenai Peninsula and the Chueach mountains on the east and the Aleutian and Alaska ranges on the west lies a broad de pressiou; its southern half is oCCu- pied by the waters ot the Pacific, forming Cook Inlet, and is inland portion by the valleys Ot the Susit- na and Matanu,ka rivers. During countless ages, says the report Of the Geological Survey, these rivers have been building mp their delta mouths, gradually encroaching upon tide water, and the valley floors of their lower courses repre- sent the silted UP portions of the former extension of the inlet The broad tidal flats at the mouths of both rivers bear witness that this action has not been interrupted.
 The Susitna. river system drains an area of about 5000 square miles lying east and south Of the Alaska range. Its western tributaries rise in the glaciers o, that range, while its eastern ones reach far out into the Copper river plateau. The main Susitna issues from glacier of the Alaska range and flows southeast through narrow valley until t emerges from the noun Gains upon the plateau, then bends almost due west. This continues for about 60 miles; for the first 30 in a broad valley, and then through a rock canyon, where the river makes sharp sontherly turn in latitude 6 degrees. Here the valley begins to broaden gradually until it finally merges with the broad basin oi Cook Inlet
 On the west the Susitna is joined by the Chulitna, Peska or Croto, and Nentna, which with their chief tributaries all head in glaciers of the Alaska range. The mountain portions of streams lie in typical glaciated valleys, with U-shaped cross sections. As they emerge from the mountains their slopes are bounded by high terraces, but these gradually disappear, the walls grow farther apart, and the bottoms finally merge with the Susitna low lands. The Tokichitna joins the Chulitna from the west i'll about latitude 6 deg. 30 min. In about latitude 6 deg. the Chulitna re- ceives from glacier an unnamed tributary which occupies the north .erly extension of the main Chullt- na valley Fifty miles above is broad gap called Caribou Pass, 2,5oo feet i'll altitude, which sepa- rates the Cook Inlet drainage from north-howing waters.
 Valdez creek is an important tributary entering the Susitna from the northeast. Large areas of placer ground are being at present worked in this region.
 The Talkeet is a large eastern tributary of the Susitna Along the headwaters of this stream the western extension of the Copper river plateau enters the Susitna basin, and the Talkeet for almost its entire length is incised i'll the plateau. Its lower course lies throueh a rock canyon.

MORE WHITES
THAN NEGROES
FAIL TO STAND TEACHERS Elk
AMINATIONS IN ATLANTA
REASON FOR FAILURE.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 49,
More whites were rejected for failure
to NETT requirements in the Deem.
| Der examinations for teachers in the
public schools, proportionately than
negroes, according to figures that have
been received from the examining
board of the Department of Education.
OF the total of 2,136 applicants, 496
failed. There were 1,O5S asking from
among the whites, with 587 reflections.
OF 1853 negro applicants, 1873 failed.
Over one-half of the whites were re-
jected, and just over a third of the ne
groes.
There is good reason for the pro-
portion. Whites take more chances,
applying for first grade and life GER
tificates where they have no show at
all. On the other hand negroes rarely
seek better than third grade. Many of
the schools urge this upon the negroes
telling them it is better to try for
third grade and win than aspire higher
and lose. Another thing is that since
the wholesale arrests of negroes
charged with cheating some time ago
all but the best are afraid to make the
effort

ISOLATION in honor of the retiring Chief
Justice, Simon E. Baldwin, Of the SUI

The claim is that the dining hall

there is no liquor license granted the

therein. Prosecutor Noles in an inter-
view said that If formal complaint was
made he would prosecute, as he
thought there was evidence of viola
