at least that it would become the
property of those who would exploit

NEW FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
In my Judgment the way to deal
with the problem Of Alaskan re-
sources is to establish a board of III
rectors to have this work in charge
Into the hands of this board or com
mission l would give all the national
assets in that territory, to be used
primarily for her improvement-her
lands, fisheries, Indians, Eskimos,
seals, forests, mines, waterways, rail
roads-all that the nation owns, cares
for, controls or regulates"
Secretary Lane expresses the opin-
ion that privately owned railroads
would not be constructed in Alaska
for many years, except as adjuncts
to private enterprises. He regards it
wise, therefore. for the government
to undertake their building.

Alaska can be made selfsustain-
ing agrieulturally This vast and I'M
surpassed asset lies almost undevel-
oped, A territory one-fifth the size
of the United States contains less
than thousand miles of anything
that can be called wagonroad"
This unfortunate condition" in
Secretary Lanes judgment, is not due
to "the inhospitality Of the Alaska
climate" because some of southeast
ern Alaska has a climate more tenn
perate and more equable than that
of the city of Washington, while
much of the greater portion Of the
north has kindlier climate than
Stockholm or st. Petersburg. There
is more railroad building 500 miles
north of the Canadian border than
there is for the same distance south
OF it.
"Why has not this land been deyel

did not realize until within few
years that it was worth developing

WASHINGTON, Dec 4-With bold |
strokes Franklin X Lane, secretary
of the interior, today outlined in his
annual report to the president, a
broad policy in the conservation of
the vast natural resources Of the
United States.
Two notable and interesting pre-
dictions are indicated rather than
made in the report. One is that the
time is not far distant when coal of
too low a grade TO stand storage or
transportation will be converted into
electricity at the mouth Of the mines
and widely distributed for lighting,
heat and power; the other that the
gigantic force now wasting itself in
the rivers of the country will be so
controlled by dams as to provide
heat, light and power to the people
and that within a generation | be
lieye the people will be as alive to
the value of public ownership Of
hydro-electric power plants as they
are today to municipally-owned water
works"
CALL OF THE WEST.
In the opening lines of the report
Secretary Lane takes up serious
situation which obtains in a great
section of the country. There exists
feeling in the west" says he, that
its affairs and needs have not been
given that consideration at the hands
of the national government which
they merit This feeling is not con
fined to spectators or exploiters, Il
is the sentiment Of many who are
without selfish motive and regard the
matter wholly from the standpoint Of
national growth.
NO ADEQUATE MACHINERY.
There is one very simple explana
ton for the existence of this feeling
We have adventured upon a new pol
icy of administering our affairs ant

which the normal enterprise of al
ambitious people can make full us

closed opportunities to the monopc
list, but did not open them to tn
developer.
THE land policy put into force,
he says, caused dismay and discor

public lands. They were given t
the railroads and to the states. T

IN THE oLD-TIME KITCHEN
Equipped With Queer Culinary
Contrivances.

The kitchens of olden times seem to
have been of extraordinary size, judg
ing from the investigation recently
made by an English historical society,
remarks Harpers Weekly. At Hurst
monceux, for example, there was
kitchen 2S feet high, with three huge
fireplaces and bakehouse with an
oven IA feet in diameter.
There is an old Welsh kitchen near
Llandudno, dating from the fifteenth
century, which has many primitive
culinary contrivances, now obsolete or
superseded by modern devices. Among
these curious old devices may be
mentioned a meat jack with a fly
wheel. a steel toasting stand and a
fan bellows.
At Battle Abbey there is a curious
old kitchen containing much of inter-
est to the antiquary and a kitchen at
st. Mary's hall, Coventry, is remark
able for the famous "knaves' post"
to which, it appears, refractory soul
lions were temporarily attached by way
Of punishment.
There is medieval kitchen at West
minister abbey, although little remains
by which to identify it aside from
the rubble flooring, the buttery hatch
and an adjoining cellar. Hampton

with vaulted roof and sets of antlers
on its walls.
Englishmen of other days full rec
ognized the advantages of a large
kitchen. There is extant an order,
dated April 10, 1906. wherein Hugh de
Nevill is commanded to have tha
kings kitchen at Clarendon rooted
with shingles and to cause two new
kitchens to be erected, one at Marl-

in which ito dress" the royal dinners.
