RAILWAY COMMISSION
 BOOSTS SKAGWAY CLIMATE

The report of the Alaska Rail road Commission gives some inter- esting comparative statistics on the climate of Alaska, and of course u.entions the superiority of the Skagway brand to that of any part of the Territory as will be seen from the following extract.
 The precipitation of Southeastern Alaska varies from about 147 inch es at Ketchikan to less than 30 inches at Skagway. While there is but little snow near sea level, there is a heavy fall in the mountains. A White Pass the winter snow fall. is about 25 to 30 feet, but is probably less than 4 feet on the -Chilkat sum nit. Records show that the mean annual number of days on which pI pIecipitation occurs in southeastern Alaska varies from S5 at Skagway to 2S5 at Ketchikan.
 The experience of those long res ident in Alaska has shown the cli- mate to be very healthful No eX- tremes of cold or heat occur along the Pacific seaboard. The excess i've rains characteristic of many part of this district are, to be sure, dis agreeable, but experience demon strates the fact that they have no adverse effect on health It must be remembered, too, that the eXces- sive precipitation is by no means uni versal in this maritime belt It has | cen shown that at Skagway, for eX- ample, that the total precipitation is less than 30 inches, and at Sew ard about 54 inches.

Hsroism of an Indian.

A few years ago in northern Mexico a truck carrying a load of dynamite for use at a mine was suddenly discov- cred to be on fire at a village station. The risk was imminent, so the driver of a locomotive engine picked the truck up and ran 1t away into the country at all the speed be could put on. He bade the brakeman jump otf and save him. self, adding 'I go to my death" When be had got a mile away the dynamite exploded, Every window iu the village was broken, and he was blown to at- oms, but the inhabitants were saved He was a pure blooded Indian South America" by James Bryce.

The Most Crowded Street

The supreme sensation Of New York's east side Is the sensation of the as- founding populousness. The most pOpulous street in the world-Riving- ton street-is a sight not to be for gotten. Compared to this, an uptown thoroughfare of crowded middle class flats in the open country Is an unin- habited desert! The architecture seem ed to sweat humanity at every window and door.
