NEW YORK, October 3.-In last
weeks review we called attention to the
fact that the reopening Of the New York
Stock Exchange. and. in fact, Of every
other important exchange throughout the
country. could not be contingent upon
the absolute cessation of hostilities in
Europe; that necessity will compel the
reopening Of the exchanges on some basis
before many weeks have passed. This
was not an idle prediction, but was based
on record OF circumstances that could
lead to no other conclusion
The progress that has been made in
New York toward a resumption of stock
trading is extremely gratifying, and has
exceeded the expectations of many peo-
pie who were heretofore inclined to take
a pessimistic view of the situation. The
first step in the process was the agree
ment on plan to permit of trading on
unlisted stocks at lower prices than those
OF July 80. subject in each instance to
the approval Of a committee appointed
Tor that purpose. This had already been
done for bonds, and the success which
has attended these efforts has led to a
similar process being effected for the reg
ularly listed stocks as well. This is, Of
course, long way removed from free
market. but 1t is a long step in the right
direction, and is wise preliminary to
the full resumption Of unrestricted trad

YOUNG TIGERS MAY
 GO TO WHITEH0RSE

c. w. Carter. manager of the Young Tigers, says that he is negotiating with Si Tanner, and there is a probability that a game will be played at Skag- way between the Tigers and the White Pass club in event that the Ti- gers make the trip to Whitehorse for the Kings birthday celebration. It is not definitely known yet if the trip will be made but it is very probable.
 In the meantime Mir. Carter says that he would like to have a so with some of the Gastineau channel teams. I'm not particular" he said, they all look alike to me, but I'd rather have a chance at P. E. Jackson's aggrega- tion-they would be duck soup for us" He said that they had expected all along to play the opening game with Jackson's men, but the latter had arranged to take on Treadwell next Sunday and he supposed it was off. He would like to play and early morn. ing game with the Gastineau Terriers if Dick Wulzen can be pursuaded to get his men together.

DELAY FOR ALASKA
 COMMISSION BILL

Word from Washington is that there is not much likihood of securing the passage of the Alaska Development Board" bill, as the measure introduc. ed by Senator George E. Chamberlain was called or the Commission Form of Government in tke Administration of National Affairs in Alaska" bill, as the more amplifled measure introduc- ed by Delegate James Wickersham is entitled, at this session of Congress. A letter recently received from Dele- gate W!ckersham by The Empire, says:
 There seems to be much opposition on the part of some members of Con. gross, who are afraid the government of Alaska will escape from the bur eaus and committees in Washington" l"
 The Delegate adds:

HOUSE COMMITTEE
 AGAINST R. R. TAX

The report of the House committee on Territories on the bill changing the tax on railroads in Alaska from $10O a mile to four per cent. of the net income of the roads, recommend. ing that the same shall be passed, is a comprehensive review of the situ. ation in Alaska. It shows that the $1OO a mile tax applies irrespective
 of whether the road was cheaply constructed for special purposes, and only operated occasionally or wheth. CT the road was we'll made, thoroughly equipped and operated continuously in general transportation.
 Only two railroads in Alaska are paying the tax at all, the White Pass and the Copper River.
 One road-the Seward Peninsula was compelled to close down because the government brought suit to con- pei it to pay taxes. Under the rule that makes 1t a separate offense for each day8 operation, and the full penalty of one years tax for each days operation if the license tax is not paid in advance, the amounts ow. ing by some roads runs into millions of dollars.
 The report shows that the present Governor of Alaska, the former Gov ernor, and the Secretary of the h. terior have all recommended that 1t be repealed. The Attorney.General all 50 fayors 1t.

zAPATA THREATENS TO
 SEVER ARlSTocRATic HEADS

VERA CRUZ, Mex, May 7.-Huer- taist refugees arriving here from Mex leo City say that Gen. Zapata, who is moving on Mexico City, had sent word ahead that he will set up guillotine in the square in front of the National palace and accumulate there pile of the most aristocratic heads in the city.
 Zapata's vengeance is directed large ly against the wealthy class of the population.
 Villa to Put to Death.
 Scarcely less bloody are the reports that come to Mexico City, which are repeated by refugees in Vera Cruz, from Gen. Villa. The latter has made no secret of the fact that he has pre- pared long list of those whom SC has selected to put to death should he reach the capital.
 Villa Will Have All with Him.
 The refugees say that it is a fore gone conclusion that Gen. Villa, who is known to be making plans to reach the capital at the earliest possible date, will have not only Gen. Zapata's support, but that thousands of the low CT classes of Mexico City will rally to his standard.

"A mans true worth is not measur. ed by his muscle. his brain, or his money, but by the service he renders to the community in which he lives, says noted professor, and probably there are few phrases that contain more truth than that. Stop and think how much you are worth to Wrangell, and get in and try to raise the stand. ard a notch higher There are many ways in which every man in Wran- gell can be of service to the commun. ity, and one of them is by saying a good word for the city in which he lives every time he gets chance, Instead of going around complaining. -Wrangell Sentinel.

RIVER TRAIL
 TO BE REPAIRED

The trail leading from the end oi the government road to Eagle River is to have enough repair work done on 1t to place 1t in a passable condition so that a pack horse may be taken from Juneau into the Eagle River country, but there will be no funds to spend in making the present trail in' to a road, according to Lieut., Glenn c. Edgerton, engineer officer and mem bear of the Alaska road commission who is. now In Juneau. We will al' so locate the government road from Skagway to the Canadian boundary at once," he said, "but this is all we can do at this time for lack of funds. All of the S125,OOO appropriation, which is about the usual amount allowed Al aska each year, must be used in repair work and maintenance on the roads al- ready built. No new work can be un' dertaken."
 Lieut.. Edgerton submitted a de- tailed estimate providing for the ex- penditure of $7,25O,OOO in creating a system of public highways in Alaska. The report contained scientific study of the whole problem of road building in Alaska submitting in detail the cost. the necessity, and the estimated resources Of the sections sought to be benefited. This money was to be ex- pended during a period of nine years beginning with the present year for which an appropriation of $75O,OOO was asked. "If this were allowed" said Lieut. Edgerton, Alaska would have, when completed, a very good system of road, and nearly all of the known territory would be accessible"
 Nevada" said Lieut.. EdgertOn, "has less mileage O! public highways, in proportion to the area of the State than any other State in the Union, yet the mileage of public roads in Ne vada is eleven times greater than in Alaska in proportion to area"
 The necessity of more liberal appro- priations for public roads, Lieut.. Ed gerton thinks will be more apparent when. the government railroad is fln- ished and begins to operate. Tt is perfectly obvious" he said, that freight will not be shipped over the road if people are unable to get 1t away from the railroad stations"
 Lieut.. Edgerton has been inspecting the conditions of the roads leading out of Juneau. The Sheep creek road he considers in very good shape except that it should be ballasted little stronger for heavy traffic. He expect. ed to go over the Salmon creek road today in company with supt. J. c. Hayes.

CHICAGO, May 6. Secretary of Commerce William c.

Yet justice and common sense require any truthful man to concede that when the worst is said respecting our railway managers 1t is none the less true that they have so wrought as to give America the lowest freight rates In the world"

Lieut.. MearS Is Not
 Eligible For Commission

WASHINGTON, May IA tangle has been discovered in the appoint ment of Lieut.. Frederick Mears to be q member Of the Alaska railroad com mission.

 When Secretary of the Interior Franklin k. Lane selected Lieut.. Mears on the recommendation Of Col. George W. Goethals 1t was presumed that he was an officer in the engineer corps. but it develops that he was an engineer in civil life when was appoint ed to the army through the National Guard. Secretary Of War Lindley NJ. Garrison was not consuLteu OeAO'e the appointment was made.
 Provision Aimed at Richardson.
 It is charged in Washington that Delegate James Wickersham had the provision that only officers from the engineer corps of the army could be appointed to position nthe Alaska railway service inserted in the bill for the purpose of keeping the Presi- dent from putting Lieut.-Col. w. P. richardson on the commission.
