ALASKA'S new RAILROAD

VII VI apou' Marcn l, Alaska S
first raili Dad of any length will re
opened for general trafic. This
is the Copper River & North
western railroad. extending from
Cordova to Kennecott, distance
of 200 miles. The general offices
of the company are in the LoWman
building, Portland.
The purpose of the Copper River
&Northwesern railway is solely for
the developmcnt~of the mineral
and agricultural resources of tae
interior of Alaska. The original
determination to build the road
was caused by the fact that at
KennecOtt is located the Bonanza
mine. carrying copper ore which
has run as high as ID per cent.
transportation was absolutely
neccs sary before this ore coulG be
successfully marketed, and to n. Get
these conditions the new railroad
was planned. At the very outset
orders were given to build as fine
road as possible and it is un-
doubtedly the finest piece Of
pioneer construction ever attempted
in the United States. That is to
say, that although the line is hut
200 miles in length, the physical
standards are equal to those of the
largest transcontinental railroads
of this country can be found any
finer steel bridges than the
enormous structure over the Cop.
per river. between Miles and Childs
glaciers, and the notable steel
cantjlever finished last Christmas
day. which spans the Kusk uana
river. Native ties have been used
throughout, 70-pound A. S. G.. f..
standard rails having been laid,
viii lc all Of the track fitting, sid
ings, frogs switches and other ap-
planes are of the latest and best
standards.
The region per etratcd by the
new road is heavily mineralizcd
from ore end to the other. Gold
and copper have been found in many
localities. The country abounds
in coal, capable Of supplying the
United States for century or
more to come, but this coal cannot
be used, as the coal lands have
been withdrawn from entry.
A new substantial town is being
established at Chitina, 131 miles
from Cordova. This is the outfit.
ting point for all of the imme late
tributary territory, as well as the
point of connection between the
railroad and stages Of the Ed S.
Orr company. for Fairbanks and
the interior. The government
opened new winter stage road
from Chitina to Willow Creek last
November, and INC mail and
passengers for the interior have
ueen taking this route ,incc the
road was opened.
Beyond Kennecott is said to exist
the greatest field for quartz or
lode prospectors that can be found
any where in the country. 1t has

FULMER'S BILL NEEDS FIXING

|
FULMER'S BILL NEEDS FIXING
The apportionment bill of
AsSemblyman Fulmer needs con-
siderable fixing before it becomes
a law. Mr.. Fulmcr must have
been under a severe mental strain
when he drafted his bill or else his
ideas of Just apportionment of
legislators to the different counties
are badly warped. His bill gives
White Pine county which has Il
population Of 74ll. according to the
census, the same representation
that it does Elko with 1888 people.
For some reason not known to us,
re gives Humboldt county with
6Sl5 people two senators ard five
asscmhlymen, while Elko county
with Sl33 is given two senators and
four asscmblymcn one less assembly,
men while she has 1918 more
people than Humboldt county.
Of course, Mr.. Fulmcr may nave
good reasons for favOring Hum
boldt county. hut we doubt very
much whether they arc wcighty
enough to convince n majority of
the legislature.
If the legislature makes re-
appointment, il should hc based
upon the population Of the counties
as shown by the census and there
should no discrimination for or
against any county. The basis of
representation should hc large
enough to keep the number of
lawmakers within the constitutional
limit and yet be fair to each county.
If WaShUc county Is entitled to
double her present representation,
she should have il. There should
be no discrimination against Wash
oc county because her population
doubles that of EIko or any other
county.
Mr.. Fulmer's bill should be sent
to the scraphcap or so changed that
he will not recognize it.

The brute was watching them
closely and they lest no time in

GRAND JURY IS
GRINDING AWAY;
MORE INDICTED
TEN OR TWELVE TRUE BILLS
WERE RETURNED TO COURT
YESTERDAY.

The Glynn county grand jury was
in session yesterday and during the
day large number of indictments
were returned to the superior court,
Which is in session and which is dis
posing of the criminal docket.
In all it is understood that ten to
twelve true bills were returned to
the court and warrants were at once
issued for the arrest of those IN
dicted. While the names of those
against whom true bills were re-
turned were not given out, as ar
rests have not been made, 1t is under.
stood that among the number were
three persons charged with the sale
of whiskey in the county. The 9TH
ers were for various Offenses.
Davis Ford, a negro, was also in
dicted during te day. Ford is now
in Jail and is charged with hartor-
ing an escaped convict. II will De re-
membered that when the Jail deliy-
cry was made last week one of the
escapes were captured in Ford's
house. The officers claim that Ford
was asked if any of the prisoners had
sought his house as a hiding place
and that he endeavored to throw
them off the track, but upon investi-
cation one of the negroes was found
hid in the house. The negro claims
that the escaped negro came in the
house unkeknowing TO him.
Just what the other bills were is
not known, hut it is expected that
all of the arrests will be made to-
day. The jury, however. will con
tinue in session for day or two long
er amt it may be- that another bunch
of indictments will be returned to
the court today.

JAP MINISTER IS
INVITED BY TAFT
PRESIDENT SAYS HE WOULD IN
ViTE THE MINISTER TO
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Would Set at Rest Probable War Ru-
mors-Maneuvers Have No Connec-
tion With Fear Of yellow PERIL"

Washington, March 22.-President
Taft today invited Baron Jchida,
Japanese ambassador. to conference
at the White House. this afternoon.
The presidents object is to person
ally set at rest various irresponsible
stories published to the effect that
the army maneuvers in Texas and
California were in even q vague way
directed toward Japan.
President Taft has been greatly an.
noyed by persistent and erroneous
reports sent from Washington. tend
ing to give Japanese coloring to
to the mobilization maneuvers. Tue
reports were to the effect that Japan
had negotiated a secret agreement
with Mexico for coaling station on
the Pacific coast and that the Uni
ted States was menacing MNN.eo as
a protest.
Denials came from the Japanese
embassy and from Ambassador Ucli-
da about the coaling station story,
and denials from state department
about any connection of Japan with
maneuvers, failed to stop the reports
which the Presidet regards as malic-
ious.
While confident that the Japanese
ambassador needed no assurance,
either private or official, as to this
government purposes, President
Taft conceived the idea of inviting
Uchida to the White House for a
conference so as to give the greatest
publicity possible to the denial, which
the president hopes will carry con-
viction to the American people.
