LOOKS
 AT BRIDGE SITE

Lieut.. Glenn Edgerton, who is stay ing at the Hotel Cain, devoted a part of yesterday to looking over the ten tative site of the projected channel bridge that will, when constructed con- meet the towns on Gastineau channel. Lieut. Edgerton stated that data was now being prepared from which it will be possible to choose the most suita- ble type of structure and make a de- sign from which estimates may be made
 The channel is about 53O feet wide at low tide and 2,4OO feet wide at high tide at the point tentatively se- lected for the bridge site. It is thought that good bottom can be found It is believed that the most suitable type of bridge would involve a span of per haps 200 fet across the channel with series of lesser spans approaching either shore for a distance 500 feet each way and connecting with trestle work to the shore lines on each side of the channel The central span would have to be elevated at least 20 feet above high water to permit passage of small boats
 The Sheep creek road is in fairly good condition, Lieut. EdgertOn states, considering the newness of the work and the conditions that prevail here. There has been some slight damage by slides and some settling at different points on account of recent rains and also some slides, but he says that this is expected of new work. The Sal mon creek road which was also in spected as far as Salmon creek suf- fered some on account of the debris that has been loosened by the re- cent rains coming down. The bridges he states have all stood and the dam age is not serious.
 Today Lieut.. Edgerton intended de- voting to the roads on Douglas isl and and at the same time to have view of the projected bridge site from the Island side. He contemplates leaving for the South on the Dolphin.

CRITICISM IS NOT
 NOW IN ORDER
-O-O--

It is no doubt exasperating to peo- pie of the North to be told again and again that the administration hopes to do something definite at some equal ly indefinite time for the development of the Territory. To them that is an old, oft-repeated tale long since grown stale by tiresome reiteration. What Alaska wants now is performance; spe- cifc performance, and an end of in- definite promise.
 But there is a new administration at Washington which, so far, has been tied to a special session called for the purpose of solving two National prob lens, and only two, the tariff and the currency. The first has been disposed of; the second is to be concluded in a period of six weeks, according to the President Then the special session will adjourn and the regular session of Congress will open.
 If the administration has formulated a definite Alaska policy it can be ex- pected to show what it's plans are by legislation in the interest of Alaska development during this coming reg ular session.
 Should the administration fail to do this mighty protest will be heard not only from Alaska, but from friends of the Territory, friends by both in terest and sentiment, throughout the country. It is only fair to withhold criticism until the new administration has opportunity to make good.-Seattle POst-Intelligencer.

When the lights of the great

the whole world heard it. twas
a mighty protest against the
cheapness of human life, and the
whole world needed it.
Fhirty-one nations have got to-

providing that the transmission
