the passage of commercial vessels. Just
how great boom this is going to be
can be appreciated by its shortening
from $4,000 miles-the distance via
the straits of Magellanto 5,2s9 miles,
the route from New York to San Fran
cisco. Ii is commonly averred that the
canal viii reduce the distance by one
half. but it does more than that.
Relatively our north Atlantic coast
gains most of all in quickened access to
Pacific ports Thus the saving of miles
from New York to San Francisco is S.

sos, as compared respectively with s.
92l and 1890 miles from Liverpool to
San Francisco and to Honolulu. II is
estimated that at first only one ship out
of ten that will ply through the canal
will be an American steamer in coast
wise trade, but this proportion ought
quickly and greatly to be increased

SURVEYS IN ALASKA.
Geological Survey Sends II Parties Into
Territory to Explore and Investigate.

The geological survey has just COM
pleted its preparations for the annual
campaign of investigating the mineral
resources of Alaska, the field plans for
the year having been approved by Sec
rotary Lane. The parties have been
made up, and some of the horses and
other equipment purchased. Prosecuting
surveys in the isolated parts of the ter
rltory requires preparation long in adj
vance, and part of the supplies are
shipped in over the winter trails on ac-
count of the difficulties Of summer trans
portation. For this seasons work sup
plies were started inland from the coast
early last January and are now cached
at convenient points located 200 to 300
miles inland for use of the parties dur
ing the working season, which lasts from
June through September. Eleven parties
will be put in the field this year, and
as in the past special heed will be Civ
en- to the investigation of the resources
of those districts which are tributary
to the several routes that have been adj
vocated for the proposed government
railways.
Exploration of New Routes.
A party under the leadership of J. w.
Bagley and Theodore Chaplin will under
take the exploration of the region tribu-
tary to Talkeetna river and will con-
meet with the surveys of the Broad pass
region made last year. This party, con-
sisting of seven men with Is horses.
will go up Matanuska river early in
June and start work near the scene of
the new gold discovery on Albert creek.
It will penetrate region new but lit.
tie known, lying in the headwater
ing, the party will survey the region be-
tween the headwaters of Matanuska and
Copper rivers that has been advocated as
a railway route.
An exploration of the region lying be-
tween Lake Clark on the east and the
Iditarod district on the west will be I'M
dertaken by R.H. Sargent and Philip s.
Smith. Here there is a belt of country
over 100 miles in width which is almost
an entire blank on the map. The party,
made M of seven men, with 90 horses,
will follow route that has been sug.
gested for a railway into the great Kus-
kokwim basin.
A. G. Maddren will investigate the
gold placer districts tributary to the
lower Kuskokwim. He will ascend Idi-
tarod river, by canoe, portage across
the divide to reach the Kuskokwim, and
visit the Anniak, Tuluksak, and Good
news bay placer districts.
stephen r. Caps and G. +. Griffin
will carry geologic and topographic sur
yeys across SkoIai mass into tho White
river basin and thence to the interna-
tional boundary This is also region
where railway building has been consid-
cred Mr.. Capps will give special at
tention to the investigation of the newly
discovered gold district in the Chsana
basin This work is an extension of
previous reconnaissance surveys in this
field

Detailed Surveys of Gold and Copper
Districts.

A detailed base map will be made of
part of the Juneau district, now the
most important gold lode camp in Alas.
ka and promising to become one OF the
most important on the continent The
purpose of the base map is to make pos
sible an exhaustive study of the occur
renee of the gold ores u. G. Wither-
spoon will undertake the making of the
base map. which will be on scale OF
three inches to the mile.
A detailed survey of the Kotsina cop
per bearing area was undertaken in 1912
but unfortunately, the delay in the APP
preparation during the last two wears
has prevented its completion. II is
planned that F. H. Motif and j. B. Mer-
tie now complete this work. b. L. John
son, with one assistant, will undertake
the detailed geologic survey of the Port
Valdez gold and copper district. The
base map necessary for this work was
completed in 1913.
General Investigations.
To coordinate and correlate the va
rious geologic surveys in Alaska it is
necessary to continue the studies of the
general geology and mineral resources.
Three biologists will be engaged in this
work during 1914. George c. Martin.
assisted by r. NJ Overlook, will con-
tinue his studies of the Mesozoic strait
graphy. He viii visit important local
tiles in southeastern Alaska, in the Chi
tina valley, and along the Yukon.
H. M. Eakin will undertake supple
mentary investigations of the tin de-
posts of Alaska. He viii examine some
of the occurrences of tin in the York
region of Seward peninsula and in the
Hot Springs district of the Tanana val
ley. Mr. Eakiin will also undertake
some general studies of the occurrence
of mineral deposits and mining develop
ment in the Nome, Fairbanks, and Ju-
neau districts
Alfred H. Brooks the geologist in
charge of the Alaska surveys and in
vestigations, expects to leave for Alaska
as soon as office work permits, probably
about the middle of June He will de-
vote special attention to the problems
of qiaternary geology, including the gen
sis and occurrence of placer deposits.
He will visit the Iditarod and Fairbanks
districts and time permitting, the Nome
district. Mr.. Brooks will also Join the
Motif party in the Kotsina district and
the johnson party in the Valdez dis
trict for brief periods of time.

 From the Christian Bible This day. Not tomorrow, the week after nor next month, next year: This day
 Not when this obstacle shall have removed it. self from path nor when this long desired good shall have our way;-but this day; NOW
 Now, when we hang the whereon our own hands have nailed us, when the thorn crown of our own weaving presses deep into our con sciousness, heart; when the vinegar sponge held to our lips by half-contemning charity is restorative:-NoW, today now, in all our misery. may be with Christ Himself in Para disc
 With what Christ? In what Paradise?
 With the Christ of soul; with our true l. in the Paradise of Realization
 Admit the ache of strained and blood -congested limbs accept the deep dull throbbing of the nail wounds; know, feel, and suffer the piercing and the fever of the thorns. Do not attempt to es- cape from, to deny, your agony
 For you Dysmas the Thief Upon the Cross. You grew the from which your cross cut like the basil plant of Keats fancy from the bones and flesh of buried victims You slew so you are slain. You forged those iron nails which torture you, in passion fires which now you shudder to recall: but they you: you forged them

The Orderliness of Phoenix

 Phoenix and this county long ago established a reputation for orderliness. That reputation will not be seriously marred by the tragedies of the week. We do not believe there is another town of 30,000 in the country where there is jess for the police to do where infractions of the law, great and minor, are less frequent It is strange too, that good order is so prevalent here considering the cos mopolitan population winch been attracted to the community.

Lovers

When we see a youth and maiden through flood of sunshine wadin' they VOW a love eternal, -how with them sympathze! And wish them countless blessings with no end their caressings hoping they may ever travel under sunny. cloudless skies Love is for the young and blooming. and they'll always find us and the shower of shoes and rise: every youth should haste and marry he should never halt or tarry. he should gather in a damse the day he has the price Oh, the whole world loves the lovers (as the blushing maid discovers) and the universe is hoping they may know the dumps: but when patriarch and widdy get to acting gay and gddy then the cold world merely Sniggers and refers them chumpS.

WHY GIRLS DON'T MARRY

There 150,000 men and women in New York under B. most ofthem under 30, who not married and far appearances go, do in tend get married"
 Go into any theater in any large American city and note the rows of young women sitting together and the corresponding groups of They are coupled off Why they coupled off, in the smaller cities? Simply because the modern girl has developed extravaganza that the young man refuses to stand for. She must have $2 seat; she expects box of American Beauties with it; if the weather is bad. taxi is required and if her escort does not take her to lobster palace after the show, he is regarded "a cheap one"
 And the same thing goes after marriage. even if the husbands salary is small. He must go on working, of course, but she is henceforth lady She must have her maid, her laundress her dress maker and she frets because she has no automo- bile And when the poor devil at the desk begins to show waning enthusiasm married life. she suspects that there is another woman in the case!

Canal Tolls and the Democratic Party

The administrators canal tolls policy whether right wrong, is certain make great deal of trouble Tor the president and the democratic party. as made unmstakaby plain in the bye elections in New Jersey and Massachusetts last Tuesday. In earlier special congressional elections held before the canal tolls question was raised by Mr. Wilson the presidents policies were sustained but in these two, the only ones held since the canal tolls became the direct issue and the admnistra- tion decisively defeated
 In the Passaic. New Jersey. district O'Byrne democrat, had been nominated to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Bremner democrat elected in 1912 by almost equaling the vote cast for both the republican and progressive candidates OByrne the personal choice of the president who, with MT Bryan wrote personal letters to the district urging his election. Senators James and Lewis representatives of the administration can vassed the district OByrne was forced to avow the administrators canal policy. while Drulker the republican candidate, bitterly attacked ana rested his campaign upon his opposition O it. Drukker received 10,620 and was elected over OByrne by more than one. O'Byrne's vote less by nearly 1000 than Bremner received two years
 In the Twelfth Massachusetts district Gsllivan democrat who made bitter anti repeal campaign aganSt republican who ignored the canal tolls question, but believed favor repeal was elected by increased vote, the republican candi- date receiving 2O0O less than cast for party candidate years ago
 But if possible more significant was the effect upon the progressive showing in these two districts Connolly, the progressive candidate in the Massa- chusetts district was vigorous opponent the repeal bill. He received heavier than the party two years ago. In the Passaic district where the progressives made strong showing in 1912 the progressive candidate went out of his way o support presidents policy and received less than 1000 votes.
 There be doubt that the fight which he headed against the administrators canal policy added many thousand the crushing majority of 30,000 by which Underwood defeated Hobson in the Alabama senatorial election this week The friends Underwood had counted upon no such figures. Even election day their extreme claims did exceed 20000 To outsiders, while the elec- tion of Underwood expected. it generally predicted that the contest would be close.
