In addition to this, a wharf reaching deep water from la point nOrthWard of the town was constructed by the Valdez Yukon Railway Co.,, but is now in bad repair and not in use.
 In case of the selection of Valdez as coastal terminal for a railroad system, il would appear that he best opportunity for de- velopment would be at the site of Port Valdez, which would b" cas- ily reached by an extension of he railroad across the flats ,n the nnrt h Si,i. If th. and nf fbn ap,,,

 VALDEZ.
(Report of Amska Railway Com missiOn.)

(Report of Alaska Railway Con-
 -'' mission.)
 II. the harbor of Valdez ,i2N miles from Seattle) is por. Val dez, a deep indentation forming one of the northerly extensi, ms of Prince William Sound. It is about 10 miles long by ! to 3 miles wide, is completely land locked and protected from all winds excepting the shore winds either off the Valdez Glacier OF down the valley of the Lowe river. These winds are at times severe. The entrance to Prince William Sound has already been descrlb- ed. The passage from the en- trance to Valdez is clear until Valdez Narrows is reached, about 10 miles from the town of Val deg. Here a reef lies almost in l the middle of the narroWs. but il is now marked with a beacon, and it's passage is not attended witt any danger.
 The upper end of Port Valdez is fringed by a wide mud flat, submerged al high tide, the beach of which is steep. The harbor has a very restricted anchorage area, there being about 3 square miles on the beach of this mud flat where anchorage is possible, but the depths are excessive Cup to 50 fathoms the shore steep, swinging room restricted and the anchorage almost impracticable in the east winds. The mean range of tide is about 10 feet, with an extreme of about i5 feet. Although it has been reported that the harbor has been frozen over on the mud flats near the town, it is believed by the con- mission that it can be regarded as an ice-free port.
 The town of Valdez lies al the head of the arm and is the most northerly ice-free port in Alaska. The town 'is situated on the delta of the Valdez Glacier, about 5 miles northeast. Valdez has about i,5O0 inhabitants, includ- ling those on the old military res erNation adjacent to the town. Built as it is on the glacial over wash, it has been subject U sev- eral more or less disastrous floods annually. by reason of changes in the channels of the glacial stream. It's location at this point is due to the fact that in the gold rush of 1898 one of the trails toward the interior led over Valdez Glacier, and one of the earliest rushes of prospectors was to this point. A few years later when the Fairbanks district became known, the present mili- tary road, then trail, Was es- tablished with this as its coast terminus.
 The shores of Valdez Arm are generally precipitous and very high. The entire flat that could be used in the expansion of the flown of Valdez is on the delta of glacial streams, so that growth at this point would be attended by increasing difficulties as the size of the town increased.
 There are two other points available for use for town pur- IpuScs. One of these is a s:ali. low-lying plain on the south .nic '( the arm about miles snr;h ;west and is now occupied by the military post of Fort Liscum. Almost directly opposite, at the .mDuth of Mineral creek, is a pos- sible location for a town of con- siderable size. This town site, called Port Valdez, has beer, pat rnted. with the exception of a small area al the eastern end. There is here a considerable area

strange part of ii is that men write
novels-the novels that women read
themselves into and out Of, Perhaps it is
not so difficult. Perhaps women are not
so complex to others as they are to them
selves. AT any rate men do write novels
about women. and true ones. The trouble
| is that men are beginning To write novels
that women do not want to read them
selves into and out of. 1t is becoming
DANGEROUS for women to read novels be-
cause the women that they find therein
are women that they are ashamed of.
There have been all sorts of women In

Cooper and the equally virtuous, out
more lifelike heroines of Dickens to the
meIodramatic vilIainess in Tempest and

can novels to give us the one kind of
