settlemen of Alaskan boundaries, but there is no general comprehension of the bulk and bigness of our great Arc tic possession. Alaska has an area Of 59o,s44 square miles. It is ss large as California, Washington and Oregon, with Texas thrown in for good meas ure. It has a shore line-mainland and islands-of more than 2o.00o miles. Forty per cent of the inhabi- tants are native Indians: the remaind- CT is made up ot Amercans. Chinese. and Japanese. Migration thitherward is at present at a practical standstiil.
 The opening of the Panama Canal in 1915 will open up Alaska by bringing it within the ready reach of world wide trade ard traffic over the open highway of the great seas. Unquestion- ably there is gold there for the ols' ging. Better stfll. there are great deposits of coarand probably the fin- est of the remaining great forests of the world. And there is also TO end of water power, kept constant ty con tinuous rains, for cheap electrical ex. ploitation of the virgin industrial re sources of the Territory. There is work to do and wealth to get ir this great continental and insular posses sion which will keep busy millions oi men and women in the years to come Since the Louisiana purchase there has been no such other lucky real es tate deal made by Uncle Sam.

The rainy season has not yet ar rived this year and consequently there is some uneasiness, as should the usual summer rains fail to materialize this year tho loss would he heavy to the stock owners and ranchers. While there were large shipments Of cattle sent away from southern Ari- zona ranges last spring there arc yet far too many remaining to withstand a drouth. In addition to this the set, tiers or land who have depended on the summer rains to mature crops have seen the usual planting season go by without moisture to enable them to get their seed into the ground. There is plenty of time yet for rainy season that would recuperate the ranges and relieve the cattle on the mesas and valleys, but if any crops of consequence are 10 be produced the rain must come now very, soon.

RAILWAY BUSINESS
FOR MAY.

During May the railways of the United States received for their ser vices to the public an average of sS- e30.O0O a day; their taxes were s341.. geo a day; their operating income s1,e72,3 ,322 a day for the z2e,S97 miles of line reporting, or at the rate Of ss.33 for each mile of line for each day. Thus for every six dollars of their earnings which remain available for rentals. interest on bonds, appropri- ations for betterments, improvements and new construction. and for diyi- dends. the railways had to pay more than one dollar in taxes.
 All of these amounts arc substanti- ally greater than the similar returns for May. 1912. They are from the sum mary of the earnings aad expenses 1 compiled by the Bureau of Railway Economies from the monthly reports of the steam railways Of the United Stats to the Interstate Commerce Com, mission. They include over 95 pci cent of the mileage and earnings ol all of the railways of the country.

PHOENIX STRIKERS HOLD MEETING.

HOLD MEETING.
 The street car strikers in Phoenix are still holding out for their demand for recognition of the union. On Mon- day they held a meeting fin the plaza of the capital city when a shoemaker who was called on for speech boldly assailed about every authority in Phoenix and then some. He denounced the merchants and manufacturers as sociation, the city council and the state corporation commission because they had not compelled the street car company to yield to the demand of the strikers. He .assaiied Secretary of the Navy Joseph Daniels because of his Seattle speech which was nothing more than laudatory of the Stars and Stripes. The speech of the shcen,ak- CT established the fact that his desire is to see the red flag become the favorite one in this country, especially when 1t comes to a question of bring ing a corporation to time by labor union. This red flag tirade did not stir any enthusiasm among those who heard it and commenting on it the Arizona Gazette says:
 @One uncalled for feature of the plaza meeting yesterday was the SC were criticism by Mir. Johnson, the Central avenue shoe eobbler, Of Sec retary of the Navy Daniels. for his speecb in Seattle denouncing the red flag. The speaker is an old time and respected resident of Phoenix, which made the attack on the cabinet official all the more surprising. The reference made in his Seattle speech of Secre- tarv Daniels was of a general nature, 10 the effect that only one emtlcm could be recognized in this country the glorious stars and stripes. He was well within the province fthe utter. ance of a public official. Whatever use the red flag may be pretended to be nut to. or to stend for, it has been for many years the recognized emblem of anarchy, and there is not room enough in any country, inhabited by loyal and patriotic citizens. fer the ex- istence of a red flag as an emblem in opposition to that of the eoGntry, and more particularly in this country The sneaker making his reference to the red flag though was almost alone ID his sentiment. as it produced but the faintest of applause from his audi ence. It demonstrated that whatever other grievances they might have against the street car company. or however much they might be devoted to the cause of organized labor. they hold the American flag above every other and particularly above the red flag of anarchy. This lack of applause was a deserved rebrke to the speskei for his utterance and compliment to his hearers. True-biooded American citizens do not care to hear the red flag extolled above their own"

A special from Wasiington last week to the Douglas Daily i1ternation- al stated that President Wilson would during the next few days scrd the name of some one for the position Of judge of the United States court in Arizona. As yet no announcement ot the appointment has arrived. There seems to be a general belief that this appointment wiIl be either Judge sawtelle, of Tucson or Judge Alfred Franklin, the present chief justice Of the state supreme court and resident of Phoenix since he was a very young man.
