a NEW REVENUE CUTTER FOR
 ALASKA.

The Unalga, AlaSka'S new rev rnue cutter, which was launch cd in February and which prob ably will start from the Atlantic about September 1, will be wei come addition to the fleet in north ern waters.
 Considering the work that they do every year, the Alaska revenue cutter fleet probably is the least known portion of Uncle Sam's floating property.
 Ancient, battered veterans of many a hard combat of wind and weather, these vessels have per- formed a wonderful task in d sec tiOn where they are compelled t0 depend almost entirely upon their own resources.
 This paper previously had 0r- "aSion remark that the revenue cutter service, particularly on the Pacific, suffers from lack of spec IacuIar advertising.
 X vast amount of important work iS performed by the vessels every year. the crews of the craft dare death q; matter of com- mOnplacr necessity, and not in frequently they participate in res cues of impcrilcd ships or ma roonrd crews where, the element of personal danger is seldom ab- sent.
 However, il is considered so much a part of the days duty that only those whose work brings them in touch with these servants S of Uncle sam realize how much they are handicapped and how surprisingly they overcome such handicapS when necessity for ac- ton arrives.
 It is sincerely to be hoped that the Unalga will not be the last new vessel for the Alaska scr- vice in the near future. No other portion of Ihe United States needs more and better vessels.
 II will be some years yet be- fore inc dangerous water lanes of the north are so accurately chart cd and SO thoroughly lighted that the eyer present danger ln navi- gaiinm will br reduced ln a mini mllnl.--Sr seattle Times.

 NEWSY LETTER
J. J. Underwood Sees Little Chance for Alaskan Leg
 islation

Washington, Feb. iI.--Pledgcd to retrenchment, and with a view to making a good showing in that line when they go before the country for recollection next fall, the Democrats in control of the house of representative hold out little hope that any large appro- priatiOnS will be made for Alas ka al the present session of con- gross. Delegations from every chamber of commerce on the Pa ciflc coast, headed by John l.. Wilson, of the new Seattle cham Der, are here for the purpose of pushing Alaskan legislation, and they already have secured favor able results in a small appropri- alton for the extension of the surveys in Alaska, but with a Democratic watchdog sitting on the money vaults in the treasury building, the possibility for get ting n large appropriation for the construction of an Alaska trunk line railroad is not rich in promise.
 This much already is certain Four hundred thousand acres of agricultural land in the region of the Alaskan peninsula will be sur vcycd next summer, and there is good reason to expect that small appropriation will be made for the installation of much needed aids fo navigation along the coast. II is reasonably certain also that inc house will pass a bill grant ing territorial government tO Alaska at this session, but wheth- CT this will get by the senate is q question. It is planned to put the bill through the house, and if the Republican senate turns il down to use the fact as a cam paign document against the pres ent administration.

Prof. ". c. AIderSOn

The name used as . caption for
this article is familiar to 'most OF
our readers. Professor Anderson
was for many years a teacher, and
was ia charge OF the St. Johns
schools, as principal, for some time
severing his connection with them
about four years since.
The professor is now in the EN-,
ploy OF the city OF Portland, as head
OF the filing department in the office
of the city engineer. He gained
this position as the result of a Sc.
ries OF promotions from the work
first assigned to him by the city en-.
gineer. Having passed the civil
service examination 10 establish
his eligibility, and being regularly
appointed soon thereafter, his pO-
silion is one for life If he will have
il so.
Professor Anderson is still a
school man, and probably will be
all his life. lie was elected last
October as principal OF the night
school conducted In the Lincoln
High school building. His work
was eminently successful. One Of
the teachers with him there, and of
whom he is loud in his praise, is
Professor A. p. Armstrong, a can.
didate for county school superin
tendent. A letter from Professor
Anderson, printed in another column
of this issue, sets forth the views OF
the latter concerning the special
fitness OF Professor Armstrong for
the position mentioned.
The following is an extract from
an editorial in the Evening Tele.
gram of Portland concerning the
night school work of Professor Al
deIson:
No more interesting sight for
an American could be imagined,
for here was the future American
still in the raw and in the making.
And what better work could the
school board do, or in what better
way could public funds be expend-
ed, than in helping to equip these
people so that they will be able
to make an honest living,
while at the same time instilling
into them the principles which un.
derly the government they now
recognize, Principal Anderson is
one of those rare men who are suit
ed to the work; man to whom
mere money is a secondary attrac-
tion and who, while well equipped
as an educator, still finds his high
est pleasure in helping in the work
of making better citizens"

SELLING is THE
PROPER MAN

ate" said a prominent Portland Ger.
man TO a reporter for the Zeitung.
"Iie knows the people OF Oregon. and
his interests are here IN the state,
lie knows what the people OF Oregon
need. and don't believe there is a
man alive better able to supply those
needs"
Right In line with that sentiment
is another, very generally expressed,
10 the effect that while Mr.. Selling
has always been one OF the most pro
gressiye OF oltizens insistont upon the
development OF the state and the util,
iEation OF all It's resources, he Is the
implaeable foe OF graft In all its forms
Recognizing the fact that all public
expenses must be met from the pock
cts OF the people. he stands firmly
against the waste OF public money.

OF william Hanley the picturesque
representative OF Central Oregon, who,
because OF his marked facial and ply
steal resemblance to William Jen'
nings Bryan. has many times beon
mistaken for the thrice-defeated eau
didate OF the Democracy for the pres
idenoy. II Is for the reason OF "ore'
gon for oregon" and because Hanley's
views coincide closely with those OF
Ben Selling, candidate for the Repub'
lican nomination for United states
