COMMERCIAL VALUE IN SCENERY


 THE interview given The Empire yesterday by C. l.. Andrews, who
 is a practical business man as well as a lover of the natural beauties of Alaska is worthy of attention. It is undoubtedly true that the people of the North have not been making the most of the commercial advantages offered by their scenery and other at fractions. The money spent by Amer jeans for recreation and pleasure each eyar has come to be one of the i'm pOrtant factors in business affairs. and much of this money is expended in searching out and enjoying the worlds beauty spots. Particularly is this source of pleasure attractive to those that have the money and leis- ure necessary to permit them to fol low the seasons that their lot might fall where climatic conditions are con- genial Alaska offers to these people a greater variety of attractions than other inhabited sections of the world.
 Thousands of people make good profit in catering to this class of pleas ure seekers. and the day is at hand when a systematic effort at advertis- ing would bring much of the money expended by it to Alaska. It is true, that the transportation companies are alive to the situation. and they are bringing an ever increasing stream of tourists to Alaska waters. but the per, manent inhabitants of the North do not profit by their hurried visits as the conditions warrant that they should. People should be brought here to stay longer and see more.
 Of course. this will all come in time. Mir. Andrews speaks truly when he says that those that are now in the North have been too busy with the development of the mining, fishing and other material resources of the country to have time for anything else. But time and money spent in calling the attention of those that are ac- custOmed to entertaining the travel ing thrOng to the opportunities that are here in Alaska would be we'll in- vested

is LAST OBSTRUCTION
TO CANAL NAVIGATION.
Engineers With Big Force Opening
Way Through Cuearaoha Slide.

The task OF opening way through
Cucaracha slide, the sole remaining OBJ
stacle to the navigation of the Panama
canal, has been carried on as rush
work. since the blowing up of the
Gamboa dixie, according to the Canal
Record.
The engineers have been putting
forth herculean efforts to clear a navi-
gable channel through this nearly half
mile long obstruction. but owing to the
peculiar mobility of the vast mass of
earth and rock the work of hundreds
of shovels and thousands of gallons OF
jetted water Is often undone overnight
by slumping back into place Of the
material removed or by additional
slides from the sides of the channel.
A ton and n half Of dynamite was
exploded in one blast oct 10 without
any substantial result so far as in
creasing the flow of water across tho
dam was concerned. Since that date
three shifts of men. working eight
hours each In rotation. have been try
ing to create q channel by sluicing
with hose and hydraulic monitors. Be
fore this attack the material had been
yielding slowly. and finally the en-
glneers have utilized big suction
dredge.
Meanwhile the sharp rise In the level
of Gatun lake Oct. 21 has increased
the size of the ditch so that now 7000,-
900 cubic feet of water daily is pass
ing over the slide, and by this time
sufficient water has been admitted to
al the two miles of Culebra cut be-
tween the slide and the first of the Pa
cific locks, enabling the big steam
dredges to enter the cut and operate
on the earth barrier.

The annual murder record for the

Similar records for 1911 We're S.4 per

crease In the relative number of sui
cides. equivalent to 0S per 100000, or
Al per cent. The highest homicide
record reported occurred in 1907, when
the rate was S.S per 100000. and the
lowest rates were in 1891 and 1897.

MINOR LEACUERS
HIT CANCELLATIONS
Urge That No Drafts For "POt
Luck" Be Made.

Columbus, o., Nov. 13.- Delegates
to the convention of the National AS
sociation of Professional Baseball
Leagues took up the discussion of
whether it is possible to have uni
form contract for players, such as the
national commission would like and
which the players fraternity is de-
manding. Getting one to suit all
leagues of the five different classes is
bound to be huge task, and COM
mittee headed by President Leavitt of
the Oakland (Cal.) club was put to
work upon IL.
President AL Tearney of the Three-I
league registered a protest against
the manner in which drafting of play
ers and cancellations of claims was
done in September The National as
sociation itself went on record as
against cancellations absolutely, and
urged that no drafts for pot luck" be
made.
Delegates we're banqueted at the
Virginia hotel last night. Chairman
Hermann of the national commission
responded to toast. He hurled some
criticism at Dave Fultz, who is at the
head of the players fraternity, and
referred to the Federal league in part
as follows Baseball will not be con.
fined TO those clubs operating under
the national agreement. The game is
open to all. When players have af-
fixed their signatures to contracts
that have been mutual and satisfac
tory, the commission will make an eff
fort to enforce at all times the pro-
visions of such contracts, whether
they affect the players or the club
owners

homicides from 1908 to 1912. Accord
ing to this. 4S.9 per cent of the whole
number was caused by quarrels. while
unknown causes were responsible for
141 per cent Liquor is given as the
cause of 90 per cent of the total. while
murders by highwaymen caused S.5
per cent OF the deaths. Jealousy. in

Railway Car Fitted With Tanks Is
Showing Good Results.
According to advices from Paris an
innovation In the transport and sale Of
living fish has been inaugurated by
President Nigg of the French Syndi-
cate OF Fish Culture. The Fish Trade
company, founded by NJ. Nigg has
rented from a railroad car used ordi-
narily to transport merchandise and
has turned 1t into special vehicle.
There are tank arrangements with
constantly fresh running water, and
special provision is made for certain
sorts of fish needing more oxygen than
others.
The ear Is already showing good re-
suits. Its first trip brought 800 kilos
OF fish from the Dordogne to Paris
without any appreciable loss

SEEKS STATE AID
Mayor Of Cleveland Would Retain
Saloon License Fee.


Columbus, o., Nov. 49, - State Au-
ditor Donahey reported to Governor
Cox that the END OF the fiscal year,
Nov. 10, would show state revenues
of approximately $15,500,000. an in
crease over 1912 of $1,500,900. The
present surplus is about $5,50O,U00.
Mayor Newton ID. Baker announced
at Cleveland he soon will come to see
Governor Cox and urge that the state
surrender part of it's plethoric reve-
nues to needy municipalities. He said
Cleveland can not find the money
needed to carry on municipal func-
tions under it's new charter and that
he believes most other cities are bad
ly cramped for funds. He would like
to have the state permit the cities to
retain the $1,000 saloon license fees,
of which the state gets $500. In that
way Cleveland could recover about
half the revenue lost by it by cutting
down the number of saloons.
