The population of the Pacific North west will enjoy a good laugh over the following absurdity appearing in Ship. ping Illustrated, marine publication of New York. It is found, strange to say, in the Pacific Coast department, says Railway and Marine News. The article follows:
 Direct railway communication from Chicago to Alaska is an early possi- bilily. Plans are being made for a traffic arrangement to run trains from Chicago to St. Paul, and from that point to the Canadian border over the Great Northern, where connection will be made with a branch of the Grand Trunk Pacific, the last link in the transcontinental line, which has just been completed in British Columbia. The extension of the Grand Trunk Pa cihc, connecting with the roads in the United States, will be from Regina, Saskatchewan, to Northgate, a port of entry on the international boundary between Canada and the United States. Later branch will be built from the main liue in British bia, through the Yukon, via Dawson, connecting with the proposed American railways in Alaska. The line will pass through some of the finest country in British Columbia and Yukon Territory, fur nishiug transportation facilities for a large section of undeveloped country, rich in varied natural resources. la addition 10 it's material wealth, the country north from Vancouver along the proposed route possesses scenic attractions.

The spring breakup of the river at Iditarod was not only spectacular, but for time it was feared that the entire town would be inundated by the high water. The entire spit of land on the opposite side of the river from town was covered by four feet of water, which resulted in considerable damage. The floors of the N. c. company and Cleveland's warehouses were under two feet of water. In the latter building, Crowley & Porter sustained heavy loss, despite the fact that men worked all night to get their goods out of reach of the water. While the flood was re
 ceding, the N. c. warehouse across the river caught fire and was completely destroyed. The building contained a large quantity of carbide, gasoline and dynamite, aud when the fire was dis covered the entire population stam- peded to the high ground back of town, fearing that the place would be blown up. One explosion did occur, but without damage to the town. The res
 idoDce of Tom Willatt, of the steamer Teddy H., also was destroyed by fire.

July ls Forty-four Hours Lona.


Independence day is really forty -four
hours long nowadays. Uncle Sam has
almost twice the length Of time he has
had in previous years.
The day dawns first on the island of
Guam. There the new Americans
have learned true American ways, and
the cannons begin booming at
o'clock in the morning on July (cen-
trail United States time), which is mid
night in Guam. An hour and half
later Manila bay resounds with can
non announcing liberty and freedom.
The Filipinos reach the high tide in
their celebrations before Americans are
awakened by the first cannons at mid
night Midnight in Chicago is 3 o'clock
in the afternoon at Manila When
Chicago sets off the last special piece
of fireworks the small lads at Manila
have been asleep for fourteen hours.
Sweeping on across the country to
our western possessions, the celebra-
ton continues several hours after
Americans have ceased burning pow
der At Honolulu the fireworks do not
begin until after midnight in Chicago,
and the time for shooting firecrackers
does not expire until after daybreak
in the United States. When at last the
day has been concluded at midnight in
Hawaii, Uncle Sam has spent forty
four long hours celebrating.
