NEW ROUTE FOR RAILROAD
 TOLD OF BY GEOGRAPHER

Washington Feb. That distance of 63 miles may be clipped from the proposed railroad to the Matanuska coal fields by the construction of portage road from Portage bay to Turnagain arm, at cost of less than S5OO000O IS the assertion of Professor Martin of the University of Wis consin
 Professor Martin declares that when he conducted the National Geographic Society expedition in Alaska in 1910 he and his as sociates discovered feasible route for a portage road that would connect Portage pay, near Prince William sound, with the Alaska Northern road on the shore of Turn again arm, distance of twelve miles.
 This would shorten the distance of the proposed road to the coal fields to 130 miles from tidewater and at the same time would provide a safer port, it IS asserted, than is found at Seward the present terminus of the Alaska Northern road
 Professor Martins suggestion will be pre- sented to the officials of the government who will have the selection of the proposed railroad route into interior Alaska, as pro vided in the bill recently adopted by the senate and house. If this route proves to be all that is claimed for it. it may solve the question of the sea outlet for the road that will probably connect the Tanana valley with the ocean.
 route for road has already been sur veyed from the Alaska Northern line to Fairbanks by way of the coal felds and if the government accepts the route sug- gested by Professor Martin, the road will serve the coal fields and will also provide transportation for interior Alaska to the coast
 It is explained by Professor Martin that the route he suggests will require the con struction of tunnel two miles in length, affording low grades and avoiding the glaciers that have previously discouraged the consideration of route in that direc ton.
 The route by way of Seward and the Alaska Northern is handicapped with vari- ous dangers from glaciers and lcebergs, which would be avoided by the route sug- gested by Mir. Martin. Thus transportation would be assured more safety as well as a shorter railroad haul, by establishing new | IL the proposed new road.

ALASKA CABLE CHANGE
 TO TAKE PLACE JULY l

In the annual appropriation tor the dlf- appropriation has been made for the main enance of the Alaska military telegraph and cable system, and this fact leads many who are acquainted with the proposed transfer to the postoffce department to believe that the change will take place at the end ot the fiscal year. which IS June 50. At the local office of the signal corps nothing IS given out as to the possibility of change in the near future, and no definite knowledge can be gained as to when the heads of the department at Washington plan on taking over the system.
 According to information received by Fal- con Joslin of Fairbanks, who stopped n Cor dova on his way to the States, it was the intention of the poStotlce department to put the lines under the direction of su- perintendent at Seattle, who would have dl- rect charge of the management of all of fees of the system Should this go into ef- feet, the offices would not come under the postmasters of the different towns, but would be in charge of local manager.
 According to the military journals and magazines, it is probable that all troops in Alaska will be withdrawn as soon as the lines have been turned over. According to the regulations of the war department in past years, new regiment is due to be sent to Alaska next summer, but if the recom- mendations of Major General Murray are comp!ied with, no troops will be sent north in 1914 to replace the outgoing companies -Cordova Alaskan.

SAY ORGANIZED BASEBALL
 VIOLATES SHERMAN LAW

Indianapolis. Jan l0.-That organized baseball will be attacked as trust under the sherman antitrust law. and as main tainng blacklist, in case any lnjunctlons are sought to restrain players held under the reserve clause from playing with the Federal league. was ndicatd by a statement today by Edward E. Gates of this city, coun sel for the Federal league,
 Any baseball club that attempts to ob- tain an injunction.' said MT. Gates Ito re strain player from playing with the Fed eral league, must come into court with clean hands
 The national commission, if it goes into court, will immediately be confronted with TWO serious propositions first, is the com mission S trust within the meaning of the sherman antitrust act, and is not, in fact B blacklist maint ained?'
 Mir. Gates said the Federal league has been consistent in it's policy not to enter into negotiations with player who has signed contract to play the season of 1914 with any of its rival clubs in either National American or any of the minor leagues
 We maintain however" said Mir. Gates, ''that the reserve clause is illegal and not binding upon players, lacks mutuality and Is against public policy"

GOVERNOR BRADY GOES TO CHINA

The truth of the old saying that 1t IS hard to teach an old dog new tricks has been again exemplihed Former Governor John G. Brady, veteran among Alaskan missionaries, has gone to China on an edu- cational mission, after devoting many years to secular affairs. Usually men return to the work to which they devoted the years of their early manhood notwithstanding that they may have been often called away from it in the course of life The well wishes of hosts of personal friends will fol low Governor Brady and his work to China --Juneau Empire.

COTTON SOLD HERE ABOVE 5 CENTS
Orders for Small lots Received at
Advanced Price. A More OPP
timistiC Feeling.

While the exchanges remain clos
ed and there are no market quota
lions, an optimistic feeling has pre-
vailed in cotton circles all the week.
Cotton has been sold in small lots
at an advance of a cent, or $500 a
bale, over the price paid week ago.
Yesterday a small lot was sold in
Dawson at 8 "A cents, and during the
day a local firm received an order
from Savannah for 100 bales on a
basis of cents in that city, or g. p
cents in Dawson. The farmers are
still holding firmly, and are not in
clined to turn loose their cotton even
at the advanced price.
Up to this morning the number of
bales received in Dawson was $3.50.
