THE GOOD WORK STARTS.

If there is any hope for the flu ture of Interior Alaska it lies with the recently appointed railroad com mission The appointment of these men, everyone of whom is competent and sincere. is the one thing that President Taft has done that may really benefit the territory. The members of that commission are al ready on the way to Alaska to look over and map out route which, in their minds. is suitable for the construction of railroad from the Pacific ocean to the Yukon river. Such a road as the estimates run. would be worth forty thousand dol lars mile to construct Putting the route at the shortest possible dis tance. three hundred miles, and tn" road would cost twelve million dol lars
 A great deal lies with the com lllsblOn dS lO NHttiti UT Iiot lIi' government sees fit to either con struct the road or to guarantee the bonds thereof The men will look over a half dozen proposed routes. They will study the situation from all angles. and they are perfectly capable of telling what is what. They understand their business. and Alaska Is. indeed, fortunate to have men of this kind on the board
 Alfred H Brooks Is d member Of the board Throughout this entire country, Brooks is known as a true friend of Alaska He has a magnifi. cent reputation for truth and hones ty in the nations capital. His abil- ty is unprecedented, and he assures Alaska square deal from the com. mission.
 Then let us do all We can to fur ther the interests of these men who will soon be with us. and to aid them in carrying out their plans for the ultimate development and i'm. mediate benefit of the Panama Val

THE HIGHER UPS.

Since the earliest days of the
 world there has always been the
 under dog On the under dog has
 fallen the heaviest blows, and for
 years he has borne them without a
 murmur. But the world is progress
 ing. In the very early days ot
 this world a man could hire his slave beaten to death, a brute could order woman stoned or wantonly
 murdered, and there would be not word of protest. We are living
 in an age of personal liberty. Each man. each woman must answer for their transgressions and the day when any one of us can order the other to do certain things under
 pain of death has passed.
 There is still among the followers of certain religion in India an in. born fear of killing anything thai breathes the breath of life. They even spare the life of the vigorous adder. A wealthy man there can
 employ less fortunate man to sleep
 in his bed until the bedbugs have had their fill, when he himself will
 retire for the night They abso lutely refuse to kill even the bed bugs there. Well, the recent graft exposures throughout the United States. not only in New York, but all over the country has brought to light the fact that there were cer- tain men in every city who tried tu hire men to bear the brunt of the biting exposures that are being car.
 ried on by the cleaner officials throughout the land. But they can,
 not hope to hold out long under the present progressive ideas that are being used to run to ground the real perpetrators of the era of crime that has seriously threatened to
 place an everlasting stain on the American people.
 Personal liberty is and should al. ways be the fundamental idea of a republic, and liberty can only come
 to each individual when he or she demands the right that is theirs and refuses to be overrun by ambitious
 politicians. interruptions officials. or would-be refOrmers.

"One Mile Champion of Alaska" The winner was Sam Dumbolton. who finished the mile in the remarkable time of 5.O1 2-5. There was no track to run on. and the street was heavy with mud Walker finished second, and Lund third The only other entrant, Hamilton got cramp in his stomach. and as forced to withdraw Jack Chovin started the boys off.

INCLINE TO CRIME? BLAME DETECTIVES
 FOR ALL TROUBLE

WASHINGTON. June 30. -- Psy- chic crime and the "volitional hyp- nosis' of the third degree have been made subjects of some serio-comic legal joshing in the department of justice that has caused a lot of amusement among the officials that know.
 Some time ago a correspondent who purportrd To he q former col lcgc professor wrote a 4o-page letter to the president. complaining that the recurrence of crime waves in this country was due To malign thought impulses hurtlod about by detectives of the department of jus tice, who thereby influenced the weak minded to commit crimes aEainst their nilt The detectives, according to the writer, would then issue forth and arrest these innocent law breakers, in this way working up q reputation for activity and ef- ficicncy.
 The writer also stated that he had volunteered some testimony be fore the senate committee which was recently inytstisaling the third de gree and that his views were greet ed with mrth.
 They laughed, Mr President" he wrote "Thcy laughed, sir. at the profundity of their own ineptitude"

MAKES REQUEST
 FUR SPACE 1917

Among those who left on the Tan ana on Tuesday for the states was NJ. Freedman. who recently returned from the ldtarod, where he went shortly after he came here earlier in the season. Mr. Freedman is representing the s, E. Hirsch Dis. ulling company, of Kansas City. The genial gentlemaan expressed himself as well-pleased with his reception Acrc, and promises to return again next year.
 The travelling man is taking with
 i'm on his trip to the states group Of souvenirs that will surely demon strate to those that he meets the fact that Alaska is not a land of everlasting ice ard snow. People in ihe states have q decidedly errone- 2Hs opinion of this country" sa;s ilr. Freedman, and so l am taking with me samples of the vegetables iGa. you are growing here. will show them to the people that meet in my travels through the states. and can assure you that will boost Alaska all that can This year l made my first trip to the territory. and l am more than satisfied that she will develop very rapidly when the Outsiders realize what is here"
 MT. Freedman then put in the first application that has been made for space at the Alaska Semi-Centennial Exposition to be held in Fairbanks, in 1917. The s. B. Hirsch company has exhibited in Portland, Paris and St. Louis. and the only reason that they were not represented in Seat tie was that they made application for space too late to get suitable accommodation. This time though they will not be in that fix, for their application is the first to be received for the coming exposition.
 representative of the Alaska Citizen notified the secretary of the Commercial club, Mir. F. H. Mack. and he has extended a formal invi- tation to the progressive firm of Kansas City. More power 10 that kind of spirit.

FACING THE CRISIS,

This winter will determine the life or death of the Fairbanks min ing district. If we have a quartz camp here, with the construction of a railroad, the future of this camp is assured for hundreds of years If we have nothing but stringers, If we get no railroad, then the death of the camp is matter of five years at the longest Fairbanks faces a crisis. There is no use in making ourselves believe that we have some thing when we have not; nor is there any use of making ourselves believe that we have no quartz if we have. No man can tell as yet
 whether or not there is sufficient
 quartz around here for us to call the camp quartz camp. But by this time next year we will know defi-
