China Sea, en- Route to Hong
Dear Bill:.
After a trip on the British In
dia boat from Rangoon to Singa-
pore, the homelike comforts of a
German boat seemed like moving
our trunks from a third rate
boarding house to the Plaza hotel.
The British boats are full of
comforts" such as cockroaches
and scorpions. They have no
electric fans and we slept on the
decks. Then the deckhands rout-
ed us out early so they could
clean things up.
On the German boat from
Singapore life Is easy. On the
first day Malays dove from dug
out canoes for coins. They re-
fused to go for coppers, which
shows how expensive travel in the
far east has become.
One of the party of ~ Ameri-
cans lost 23 pounds (cash, l
mean. Great on details. Talks
about his loss all the time. Tells
what he was going to pay for
when his loss was discovered,
what his wife said. what every
body else said, kind of weather
and what he had for breakfast on
day of loss.
A member of the tourists party
has told me their troubles over
a crock of beer. The party is
pregnant with jealousy. IL lady
No. gets a room with one water
pitcher in it and lady No. 2 has
two water pitchers there is a row.
About two in the party found
something interesting in India.
The rest stayed at the hotels and
tried to keep cool. At Benares
they were disappointed because
the Ganges river didn't compare
favorably with the Hudson. They
expected to see tubes under the

smelters and works vanished into
thin air. Many applicants in Alaska
mad surveyed their claims and done
development work upon them. They
have paid over 1929, 900 to the gov
eminent as purchase price. Every
expedient has been resorted to by
the government to avoid issuing pat

THE misrepresentation regarding
Alaska are criminal. The field di-
vision recently valued certain Alaska
lands at s50,000,O00. Thereupon
throughout the country was publish
ed the statement that these lands
were worth 300,0OO,000. AS a
matter of fact, these particular lands
were Ignite deposits on Cooks In
let that could not be shipped in COM
petition and whose only value would
be in use locally in the development
of Alaska. The field division of the
land office claims to be working
overtime to dispose of these claims.

They did not ask congress to amend

and the law, and in 1906 President
Roosevelt suspended it. The order
not only suspended it as to the fu-
ture, but purported to suspend the
entries already made under it. The
people of Alaska were helpless. No
court had jurisdiction for suit by
citizen against the government
and, if it had, no citizen with a claim
of $50 acres could afford to bring it.
This order tied up Alaska. The

THE NATIONS CRIME TO ALASKA

Leslies' Weekly of June % con-
tains full page article from the pen
of Charles T. Conover on Alaska,
setting forth an extraordinary record
of ten years of oppression and neglect
from which the following excerpts
are taken:
in the past ten years congress has
1egislated five times on the subject
of Alaska coal lands, yet the acts
have been so defective, either in sub
stance or in their administration,
that not an acre of coal land has
yet been patented. Alaska is an Arc
tic country and needs fuel as des-
ert needs water. These are millions
of acres of coal lands there, and they
have to send to foreign country for
their fuel. Railroad construction is
practically at a standstill and smelt-
ers and works necessary for the de
velopment of the great deposits of
precious minerals and metals cannot
be secured, because they cannot be
operated with coal at from fifteen to
seventeen dollars ton. The devel-
opment of Alaska would give an i'm

trate the dismal failure made by the
federal government in the manage
ment of Alaska. While the cities
in the Pacific Coast states have in
creased from one hundred to two
hundred per cent. in the past decade
practically every city in Alaska has
decreased and the territory as a
whole has barely held it's own, hav-
ing been saved from depopulation by
new placer discoveries, which do not
count for permanent development.
Under just laws Alaska would quad
ripple it's population in ten years, as
has been done in the Canadian North
west in the past ten years, solely by
the influx of the best sort of Amer
lean settlers.

THE revival of London Assurance
packed Wallack's Theater to the doors.
Lewis was right: there were scores of old
theatergoers on hand who had witnessed the
revival of 'SS, and goodly number of gray
heads who had seen the cast at the old house
in ~. Tonight they came, willing to be
shown, they said; but in their secret hearts
thew knew that it could not be done,-that
no cast of modern actors could even suggest
the oldtimers in London Assurance.
When the curtain went up on the first act,
they were mildly tolerant of Cool, Dazzle,
and Charles. VI course, the actors were not
in the atmosphere of the play: that was too
much to expect-far too much. But when
Sir Harcourt Courtly made his entrance
there was marked movement in the audi
ence. 1t was easily to be seen that. to the
old guard at least, the interest of the play
was about to begin.
Sir Harcourt's entrance was disappoint-
ment-to the management. Not SO to the
old guard: they knew he wouldn't be bit
like Gilbert and he was not And if he was
not like Gilbert he could not possibly be Sir
Harcourt Courtly. True, he appeared about
the right age; and his general makeup sug
gested the composite of vanity and good

breeding that the part required. he black
wig looked for all the world like dyed hair;
and the dress of the old dandy was cor
rect in every detail. But Gilbert was stout:
this man (they wondered who he was, as no
announcement had been made, although it
had been given out that Allen would not
play) was spare; therefore, he could not be
the part.
Sir Harcourt's first speeches could scarcely
be heard three rows back. But as the pay
proceeded the voice grew stronger. The
nervous tremor gradually disappeared, and
before the first act was over the old theater-
goers sat up and gripped the seats in front Of
them, thrills of excitement playing up and
down their spinal columns. 1t was unbe-
lievable! 1t was uncanny! They were listen
ing to the voice, watching the movements,
and observing the facial expression of John
Gilbert as Sir Harcourt Courtly!
The curtain fell on the first act in almost
perfect silence The old guard, to man. re-
manned in their seats. They were afraid to
60 out, for fear some of the young dramatic
critics might ask their opinion of the per-
formance-and they were not ready to give
it yet.
60 they sat in silence until the fourth act.
~ As the act proceeded toward the love
scene (the old guard knew exactly when each
scene was due the ancients stiffened their
backbones and sat little higher in their
chairs. The crucial moment was nearing,
was here; and during the progress of the
scene they almost held their breaths. Lady
Gay had made her exit in silence Sir Har

he adjusted his laces, took pinch of snuff
and made his exit.
The house shook. The play was stopped
until Sir Harcourt came back and took a
