Dreams.

Dreams are excursions into the limbo
Of things, semideliverance from hu-
man prison. The man who dreams Is
but the locale of various phenomena Of
which he is the spectator in spite Of
himself. He is passive and impersonaI:
he is the plaything Of unknown vibra-
lions and invisible sprites.
The man who should never issue
from the stage OF dream would have
never attained humanity. properly so
called. but the man who had never
dreamed would only know the mind in
its completed or manufactured state
and would not be able to understand
the genesis of personality. He would
be like a crystal incapable of guessing
what capitalization means.-New Or

Railroads for Alaska

Alaska must have railroads, and Gov. Walter E Clark made no mistake when he again emphasized the fact in his annual report, says the Seattle P.-l. But Alaska will not have railroads un- til the federal government assumes more rational policy toward the fuel problem in the Northern country.
 Alaska's greatest need at this time is transportation facilities. Reasonably good progress has been made in the construction of highways and trails. Highway construction has made 1t pos- sible for the automobile to play more important part in the industrial and commercial life of Alaska. But Alaska will not grow as rapidly as the terri tory should grow until steam and elec- trio railroads put the rich producing centers into closer and more intimate touch with the outside world.
 But the entire problem of transpor. tation, so far as railroads are concerned depends upon the policy of the federal government toward the coal fields of Alaska. If the federal government will permit corporations to unlock the coal mines of Alaska and use the fuel which is to be found in such great abundance in the North, there will no longer be any serious trouble, so far as railroad construction is concerned. And the sooner the federal government realizes the need of applying more rational policy to Alaska in this respect, the better it will be for the sturdy Ameri- cans who are seeking 10 develop the Northern country.
 Alaska's wealth should be developed. America has a great asset in Alaska, but it is aD asset which we have. failed to use to the best advantage. Alaska is one of the richest territories in the world, but riches undeveloped are of no value to mankind, and that is the lesson some of the statesmen at the na- tional capital should learn.

Some time ago ruling by the de. partment of justice made it obligatory for all dealers in general merchandise who cared to handle patent medicine to take out special license known as the "patent medicine vendors license" This license costs $50 per year, says the Juneau Daily Empire. In many small trading stations dealers do not sell S5O worth of goods coming under this clas. sification in twelve month. It hap- pens therefore that in such isolated places, in small centers of population, dealers have quit carrying even the simplest remedies in stock, such as carbolated vaselines, salves, liniments, cold remedies, etc. According to Henry Moses, who but recently arrived from Hoonah, many distresses have been endured because of the unreason- able restriction placed upon trade by the government. Mir. Moses cited few instances that came under his per- sonal observation. A man at Hoonah last month cut his hand very badly and sent to the store for the simple first aid to the injured. Under the law nothing could be sold, but Mrs. Kane, who runs the store, gave him the article required. But many of the necessities of this nature are not to be had because they are DO longer carried and because dealers cannot give them away.

 Merl La Voy, who accompanied Prof. Herschel Parker and Belmore Browne on their last trip to Mount Mckinley, is in Tacoma trying to finance another expedition to the mountain this year, which he hopes will result in the first actual ascent to the topmost point of the famous peak. He said c. E. Rush, of Prosser, is interested with him in arranging the expedition. LaVoy ac. companied the Parke-Browne eXpedi- tions of 1910 and 1912. On the first at- tempt an altitude of l0,300 feet was at tained and on the last the summit was missed by 300 feet, as nearly as LaVoy could estimate If money can be raised to finance the expedition pro- posed by LaVoy, the men will start North about March 1, Ire says.
 Quite number of reports have re- gently appeared from Alaska, showing the opening of mines of free-bearing ore, and the discovery and partial de velopment of new properties. The latest of these is in the Seward district, a district in which several small mills are now operating with good returns, says the Seattle P.-I. About the only avenue of industry now open in Alaska, outside of placer mining, is that of the development of quartz properties. Practically everything else in the ter ritory is tied up, until congress enacts some new laws or the executive cancels existing reservations and permits the laws which congress has enacted to op- crate. Political conservation has not yet laid it's blighting hand upon the mining industry of Alaska so some form of progress is possible in that di- rection, although thwarted in every other The opening of quartz proper ties means permauence to the mining industry; the steady employment for long time in the future of an army of skilled workmen, commanding and re- ceiving large wages; the building up of permanent towns and cities, instead of temporary mining camps. And all in- dications are now that the permanent quartz mines of Alaska are to be great CT in number and larger producers than the placers have ever been. Alas ka may be hampered in it's development through the temporary work of fad dists, intent on making that great ter ritory the theater for experiments in state socialism, but the mines will save it and keep it expanding, until intelli- gent common sense, directed by re- gard for the interests of the people of Alaska, will shape the legislation and the departmental regulation.

Strength of Speculative FaVorites Was
 Only Momentary.

New York, Dec. 30.-Thc advance in stocks interrupted in the two preced- ing sessions, was resumed for 0 tinae today. Leading shares were marked up one to two points. But the move ment lacked the power of last weeks rise, and the demand was not Sufh cient to sustain prices at the higher range. Operations on the long side were not aggressive. and it was appar ent that the advance was being utiliz ed for further realizing sales. Gradu ally the list settled back until the ef- fects of the early rise had disappear ed, and the speculative faYorites show ed losses on the day.
 There was little incentive to fresh efforts 6n the constructive side. The recent advance failed to stimulate pub lie buying on q large scale. and a+ the same time it weakened the markets position by the driving in of the shorts, With the demand thuS~fImiled. bullish traders found il increasingly difficult to keep in control Various influences operated asainst them. and at length the movement became def initely downward

FEDERALS MAP OUT THEIR DEFENSE.
Will Attack Organized Baseball as Trust Case of Inunc- tions Are Sought-Question of Maintaining Blacklist Statement of E. E. Gates, Counsel For Outlaws

Indianapolis, Ind, Dee. 30.-Tl1at or ganizea baseball will be attacked as a trust under the Sherman antitrust law and as maintaining 8 blacklist, in case any injunct1ens are sought to restrain players held under the reserve clause from playing with the Federal league, was indicated by statement issued today by Edward l.. Gates of this city, counsel for the Federal league.
 Any baseball club that attempts to secure an Injunction said MT. Gates, ito restrain a player from playing in the Federal league must come into court with clean hands. Otherwise, no matter what contract they may seek to enforce, and no matter how binding on tl2e face thereof such contract may be, the court will decline to enter into the merits of the case and dismiss the bill in equity at once
 The national commission, if it goes into the court, will immediately be con fTonted by two very serious proposi- tions: First, is the commission trust within the meaning of the Sherman anti trust act? And it not, in fact, a blacklist maintained?
 There is TO doubt in the mind of any one. we take it, that organized baseball as organized under the so- called national agreement, has i'll the past monopoIized the baseball busi- ness, not only by attempting to crush competition, but by tying up by con tract the professional baseball clubs and players Of the United States, from the largest down to the smallest minor league club. and that the balplayer cannot play ball with any competitor whatsoever,
 "Do the clubs operating under the national agreement m9iAtatn 8 black list? This proposition must be pre- scented to and determined by a court before it will enter into a consdera- platnant will attempt to enforce in a court Of equity"
 la discussing the reserve clause, Mir, Gattes said:
 "The reserve clause is a condition in the contract between tine club and the player by which the club attempts to hold the player for nominal sum of money and yet not necessarily play him upon the club with which he has a contract Tn ether words the clubs, by means C6 this reserve clause, can and do say: We have you under re- serve. We will not play you on our team this wear. We will sell you to another club q large profit and they can play you
 Mir, Gates declared the Federal league has been consistent in it's policy not to enter into negotiations with a player season of 1914 with any of it's rival clubs in the National, American or any nf the minor leagues.
 We maintain, however" said Mir Gates. that the reserve clause is ille- gal and not binding upon players, lacks and. is against public poli- cy."
