THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Valdez has again shown the right spirit in proposing a benefit dance to secure for Jack Surryhne a new set of instruments and music to take the place of those lost ill the recent fire. The loss was not only a personal one to MT. Surryhne, but to the commun- ity, because the work of this artist was an asset to the community and the loss will be felt more by the people of the town than by the own CT. The Prospector need not urge on the community liberal patronage, as that is assured by the true Valdez spirit, which has made this town what it is in spite of the many hard knocks it has received in times past.

In the District Court for the Terr-
 tory of Alaska, Third Division.
 In the Matter of the Annexation of
 Certain Territory to the Incorpor-
 ated Town of Valdez.-Order Set
 ting Time for Hearing Petition and
 Giving Notice.
 A petition having been this day presented to the court for the pur- pose of instituting the proceedings required by law for the annexation of territory to an incorporated town, said petition praying for the annex ation of certain described territory to the incorporated town of Valdez, in the Territory of Alaska, Third divis- ion; and it appearing to the court that said petition is signed by forty eight qualified electors of said incor- porated town, the same being more than one-tifth of the number of votes cast at the last municipal election in said town, and by five actual resi- dents and owners of substantial prop erty interests in land in the territory proposed to be annexed and verified by two of the signers of said peti- tion: said petition setting forth the boundaries of the territory so pro posed to be annexed to said town, an having attached thereto a plat based upon an actual survey by a compe tent surveyor, setting forth the linn it's and boundaries thereof by metes and bounds. and stating the number of inhabitants therein:
 Therefore, it appearing to the court that said petition is in the form re- quired by law; it is ordered that said petition be heard and considered by the court on the 18th day of Febru- ary 1914, at 10 o'clock a. m. of said day, at the court room of this court in Valdez. Alaska, if said day be day same be not day of jurisdiction, then said hearing shall be held on the l first day of jurisdiction thereafter. It is further ordered that notice of such hearing be given by posting printed or typewritten copies of this order in three conspicuous places within the limits of said incorporated town of Valdez. and by posting such cop ies in three conspicuous places with in the limits of the territory so pro posed to be annexed to and included
 within the limits of said incorporated town, and by publishing copy of 1 this order once a week in the Valdez
 Prospector, a newspaper of general circulation published nearest to said incorporated town.

pound and tomatoes at 25 cents more. Even potatoes grown out of doors are soggy and unfit for con- sumption, according to our ideas. Last summer frost on August 12 killed all garden crops"
 The natural resources" are joke. Since the gold productively began to decline, prospectors have vainly ex- plored every valley. Soft coal is there, to be sure, but of wretched quality and useless through it's inac- feasibility, which even the railroad would but slightly alleviate.
 Manufacturing is out of the ques- tion. Obviously, there would be no local market-nor operatives, for that matter-while the cost of transpor- tation would make exporting fantas- tic. As we'll establish a chewing gum factory at the north pole.
 The railroad is forlorn hope and but the despairing attempt of a few ldAu ulu MlAC lo SA CdCS parent values before the bottom drops out publicly. The only other govern ment enterprise in Alaska, the mili- tary telegraph, tells "a significant story It's consistent losses have in creased tremendously, due, of course, to the falling off of business. Re gently an attempt has been made to transfer this service to the postoffice, in the hope of concealing the glaring deficit under the larger volume of postal activity. The military outposts are fully in accordance with the gen. eral decadence. Insanity is on the increase. There are no white women in the country, and the loose living and consequent disease are beyond description. The Chamberlain bill is merely another attempt to mulct poor old Uncle Sam, who is ever prodigal witt the public money when the ap- peal is made on the basis of patriot ism, development of new countries" untold natural resources" and other high-sounding phrases, which usual ly have no basis, else private capital would probably have seen them first" In the case of Alaska, how ever, we need not fall back on en- piricism. We have before us pic ture of a barren waste. rotting, de cadent, and abandoned now by those who must stay and by the few who still hope, in one final coup to snatch some measure of loot from the crumb- ling ruins. And those who unselfishly support the measure do it only through ignorance based on maudlin patriotism and misguided sentimen- tality-Boston Herald, of Dec. 16.

It Was Wanted For a Moving
 Picture Play.
BONAvITA WAS THE HERO.
Famous Lion Tanner Did His Best to Make Act Realistic, but Lion Wasn't Trained For tho staee-Beast Nearly "Got" Him--And Picture Was Lost!

"HE recent close escape at Sul-

 Bonavita. the famous lion tam
 CT, occurred during the enact ment of motion picture drama called "'rhe Child of the Jungle" The actors were Bonavita and a lion named Bru- tus. Bonavita was supposed to be man who in his childhood had been trained by an old lion tanner to the ways of the wild. A shipwreck had thrown him back in the jungle.
 The operator was stationed just out side the cage. with the lenses of his camera poking through. Bonavita had to manipulate things so that the most dramatic part of the episode-the mo- ment when he proved that he had not forgotten his childhood mastery of ami mals-would take place directly ill front of the camera.
 Lion Didn't Want to Act.
 1t was risky business. Brutus, the lion in the act, had been ugly for two or three days. The film began to un- roll. First there appeared from the thick foliage on the far side of the cage the lion tanner. He was supposed to be lost, half starved and seriously crip- pied. His forward progress was a se- ries of falls and fierce struggles to new footing. says the New York World.
 It was time for the lion to appear in the picture. Brutus did not respond The tanner called him twice. Then he threw a pebble. Brutus flashed into the air, made ten foot bound across the stage and landed directly in front of the camera
 Every animal trainer holds mastery over his charges by sheer power of personality. Bonavita in adding to the realism of the picture was compelled for a mo1nent to abandon his own per sonality and assume that of another He did it too we'll The lion was de- ceived.

THE ALASKA RAILROAD.

The odu NH IN" before the Senate provides for the building of some 700 miles of track at cost of $35,OO0,00O to run from the ports of Valdez or Cordova to Fairbanks, Alaska. It's advocates paint in glowing terms the vast bene- fits that will accrue from the opening up of a great country rich in natural resources, unlimited in agricultural and industrial possibilities. It needs, they say, but the quickening touch of this government enterprise to spring into life, to throh with the blows of the settlers axe and the whir of manufa curing machinery.
 Excepting the comparatively small strip of land warmed by the Japan current, geographically really part of Canada, and not in any way affect ed by the proposed railroad construc- tion, Alaska represents a desolate country, the attempt to resuscltate which is as hopeless as pouring gold dollars into the shaft of one of it's abandoned gold mines. The country owes whatever prosperity it once en- joyed to the gold fever. Today it re mains the barren waste of yore, with it's sparse settlements falling into de- cay and disuse, a country footed of it's only possession and abandoned.
 Fairbanks, the largest and most imposing city of northern Alaska, and the terminal of the proposed railroad, fifteen years ago had 18,O00 inhabi- tants. Last summer there were but 5000, and their number will be halv- ed during the winter. But six mines are now working, where hundreds were active. The total amount of freight brought into the town last year was but 16,000 tons. It wouldn't pay the railroads cost of coal! Oth- CT Alaska towns" are but names on the map, groups of abandoned shan ties with a traders store-real con- munities, only,'o the unknowing pa triot 5000 miles away. Nome, in the period of it's glory, had 36,000 inhabi- tants; but 5000 now remain, and the steamers that once piled between St.
 Michael and other coas'wise settle ments, and up the Yukon may now be seen drawn up on the shore fall- ing to pieces. As one follows the trail of the Yukon, made famous by Jack London, and the basis of more pic turesque fiction by the local trans portation company, one passes Kotlik, of one building, a United States wire less station, manned by two men. One hundred miles up the riv r is Pimute-log cabins, md traders store. Beyond. Holy Cross, a mis- sion. g store and dozen shanties. The town of Kaltag : another gov ernment building with two employees. Ruby, which had 5000 inhabitants s in '97, has now scant 800, who are making plans to leave as soon as pos sible. Two mines, almost worn out, represent the industries of this once fourishing community. And so the story goes. Prosperous indeed is the town where half the wooden build ings once in use are now occupied.
 And the reason is on the surface. Alaska presents no agricultural pos abilities whatever. The frost is out of the ground but two months and may oe found at a depth of two feet the year round. which even compels the propping of telegraph poles. The only successful vegetable growing in northern Alaska has been accomplish ed in hothouses by Fairbanks man, who disposes of cantaloupes at SIPS

LOSS or 100000 IN \
fire AT SIOUX FALLS
Mailing Plant of Brewery Burns
to Ground-Property In
sured for SEA, 600.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., July 27.--Sloux
Falls last night sustained its heaviest
financial loss from a single fire when
the large mailing plant OF the Sioux
Falls Brewing and Mating company
burned to the ground. The building
was erected a few years ago at a cost,
including machinery, OF $4,000. Since
then an additional $4,000 was spent
on the plant in the way Of Increased
buildings. The plant was under lease
to the Ladish- Stoppenbach company,
Of Milwaukee. The leasing company
had a large amount OF barley and
malt on ha1d, but the amount OF their
loss could not be ascertained. The
brewing company carried $4,000 in
surance.
The fire was beyond control when
the fire department arrived. The fire.
men could simply conflne their efforts
to protecting the brewery and other
buildings in close proximity. The
origin Of the fire is unknown. Whether
the structure will be rebuilt will not
be known until a meeting of the di-
rectors Of the brewing company Ia
held.
