that a naval school like the army school
at West Point was essential for the
training of marine officers.
The naval school was accordingly es-
tabished in 1915, while George Bancroft,
the eminent historian. was Secretary of
the Navy. Taste and wisdom dictated the
selection of its site at the Maryland cap
ital. which is situated in a beautifully
wooded country on the Severn, two miles
above it's junction with Chesapeake bay.

The establishment Of a military school
at West Point was one Of President
Washington's many wise projects. The
earliest proposal for such a school was
made by Gen. Knox, Washington's chief
of artillery. in May, 1778 An invalid
corps, to serve as a military school for
young gentlemen, was organized in 1871.
1t was not until 1902 that the military
school was established at West Point.

ALASKA DAYS NEVER
 so BRIGHT AS NOW

The prospects are bright for Alaska. Never were they so sunny as now. No longer is it to be merely a gypsy land, the sparse population drifting back and forth across it-Arabs of the North. It is to be thoroughly domesticated.
 Not only does the administration propose that 1t shall have railroad. The administration proposes that Alas ka shall have system of railroads, with branches and spars tapping every region of 1t that has resources to be developed.
 Alaska is to be one of the great ex. perimental fields on which government ownership is to be tried out. Its coal, it's forests, it's oil are to be exploited by the government for the benefit of the people. And now Is the very time for the poor prospector to grab onto a likely quartz ledge or some placer ground and hang to it until the golden days arrive. Don't wait until the Che chacos came in and gobble them all up. The outlook for Alaska was never so good.-Fairbank Citizen.

APPALLING IGNoRAMA
 ON ALASKA QUESTION

An editorial in the Boston Herald of recent date illustrates the difficulty under which the friends of Alaska are working in their efforts to bring the country to an understanding of the problems involved in the harmful and costly Alaska controversy.
 The editorial shows how hopelessly writer can be befogged in ignorance, how besotted in his own malice when preconcelved opinion prevents fair and intelligent appraisal of facts.
 This editorial is an attack on Alaska and the Alaska government railway project. The general charge is that Al. aska possessed only gold, and that hav- ing been footed of it's only posses sion," 1t is now the "desolate waste of yore," and that "any attempt to resus- citate 1t is as hopeless as pouring gold dollars into the shafts of it's abandoned gold mines"
 "Fairbanks." says this informed writ CT, fifteen years ago had 1S,OOO inhab- itants," also, that Ruby, which had 5000 in 1897, has now a scant SOO," and that Nome. in the period of Its glory, had S6,OOO inhabitants" of which but 300 now remain"
 He continues: "The natural resourc- es are a joke. Soft coal is there, to be sure, but of wretched quality and use less because of its inacessibility," Speaking of the great lack of women outside the "decadent," and "rotting'' towns, the writer says that the loose living and consequent disease are beyond description"
 But enough, for enough has been quoted to exhibit the gross and dense ignorance of the writer It is surpris- ing, and discouraging, too, to find such lack of definite knowledge and so much malicious transformation in the editorial offices of any newspaper - much less on the editorial side of a newspaper Of the influence of the Bos- ton Herald.-Seattle Post.Intelligencer.

FINANCIAL PAPER ON
 AN ALASKAN, PROPERTY

The Boston News Bureau has this to say concerning the sale of the Val dez creek placer mines claims that was recently completed in Boston when the final payment for the property was made:
 George w. sias, president of the Valdez creek placer mines, has just wired $56,75O to the Union Savings & Trust company, Seattle, Wash, for the last payment on the option of the Smith -Monahan properties on Valdez creek. Alaska. This makes $146,00O paid and completes the title. There has been paid on equipment and in- terest account over $S5,OO0 All of this money has been raised and paid since the goth of October, 1913. The trustees have ordered one mile of S6- inch intake pipe and 1t has been shipped It will leave Seattle about the 10th of this month with over 200 tons of supplies for the year 1914. The new pipe line will have capacity of about 4OOO cubic yards of gravel every .24 hours. The 14.lnch pipe line which was installed showed, after washing back the bank, which is no feet high and 200 feet wide on bedrock, gravel to pay better than $1.5O per cubic yard.
 "The Valdez creek placer mines own about 5000 acres of land, or practically all of the workable gravels on Valdez creek, where in ten years past by hand methods over $SOOOOO in gold, has been taken out.
 "Forbes Riekard estimated in the re- port made on Valdez creek that there were 45,OOO,OOO cubic yards of work able gravels outside of the smith.Mon- ahan claims. He says: Taking it as whole, believe that systematic prospecting of these benches will more than justify a five million dollar capitalization
