Empire Building

Since the government announce ment of the route of the Seward.Fair. banks railway probably 1,5OO people have embarked at Seattle for Alaska ports, including Seward and Ship creek renamed Woodrow creek by the coast and geodetic survey, and Cordova which has also been stimulated by the opening of Alaska's resources to the world of trade. Seward, according to reports from that district, is showing all the exterior indications of a boom, and populous camp is being built up at Ship creek.
 Al Seward the new population is taking to tents, and even of those there is said to be a scarcity. Gradually the new citizens and many more to come will scatter about the country in the work preliminary to opening new gold fields, developing old claims, taking up lands and settling in new townsites. Meanwhile the government is far advanced in its preparations for railway construction, which is now about to be commenced at Ship creek, from whence a line will be extended 10 a connection with the Copper River & Northwestern railway and with the Matanuska coal fields. Government selections of coal lands, it is announced will be made at an early date, and the remainder of the fields will be open to the provisions of the new leasing law. Government mines, it is stated, will probably not reach the producing stage until next spring, when the needs of the navy on this coast will be supplied there.
 This will be year of preparation in Alaska. Thousands of people will go there to get in on the ground floor, and of these the majority will be men of some capital or with financial backing. To these the country offers oPpor. tuuities of a lifetime, and they will clear the way for the multitudes that will seek the north next season and in subsequent years.-Seattle P. l.

Not a Chance

A doctor came up to 6 patient in an insane asylum, slapped him on the back and said:
 "Well, old man, you're all right. You can run along and write your folks that you'll be back home in two weeks as good as new"
 The patient went off gaily to write bis letter. He had it finished and sealed, but when he was licking the stamp it fell through his fingers 10 the floor, lighted on back of a cockroach and stuck. The patient hadn't seen the cockroaoh-what he did see was his escaped stamp zigzaging aimlessly across the room to the baseboard, waveriug up over the baseboard and following a crooked track up the wall and across the ceiling. In depressed silence he tore up the letter be had just written and dropped the pieces on the floor.
 "Two weeks, hellw he said, "l won't be out of here in three years."-From "Four Hundred Good Stories"

The Alaska Railroads

We suppose the government knew what it was about when it chose the Seward route instead of the route from Cordova. Between Seward and Cor dova there is an active rivalry, such as often arise between live and competing towns in more settled parts of the country. The partisans O! Cordova insist that the government should have chosen that route. To begin with, Cordova is 225 miles nearer Puget sound than Seward. Seward is there fore about twenty four hours' steaming time farther from the principal mar kets. From CJrdoya to Fairbanks is 455 miles, while the government an- nouncement puts the distance from Seward to Fairbanks at All miles. Grades, accessibility to the mining and agricultural sources of Alaska are also said to be in favor of the Cordova con- tention.
 The government no doubt had very good reasons for it's choice, and it is not perhaps an unmixed evil for Alaska that the Seward route was selected, for the Copper River & Northwestern rail- way, running from Cordova, is already in operation and is earning something more than expenses, including taxes. Last year it carried more than 1000 passengers and 26,3O5 tons of freight. So Alaska will have two railroads in- stead of one, unless the Cordova & Copper River line should succumb to government competition. In that case, if the government should be inclined to extend it's field of railroad operation, it might be able to buy tbe COrdova road at a bargain, as it has done in the case of the Alaska Northern.-New York Times.

A Coidova paper says: This after noon there is copper ore lying on the wharf at Cordova to the value of over half a million dollars. Twenty-Five cars had been brought from Kenneoott on Sunday and this afternoon 14 more cars were received. With the exception of one car from the Mother Lode Cop
 per Mines Company the ore is from the Bonanza and Jumbo mines. It runs about 67 per cent copper, making 1860 pounds of copper in the 2,090 pounds to the ton. The 39 cars average 50 tons to the car, or total of 1,95O tons. As each ton has a value of S27O, at 1924 cents per pound, the total value of the entire shipment is S526,5OO. As the insurance on the copper ore only al
 lows ore shipped on any vessel to reach the value of S250,OOO, it is not permis- sible for any steamer to carry more than 1000 tons. When the steamer Alameda reaches Cordova tonight from the westward she will take aboard nearly 1000 tons of the ore now here and convey it to the Tacoma smelter.

CAME TO PREFER THE MICE
Sad Tale Of Man Who Tried to GET
Rid Of kuisances BY Using
Cayenne Pepper.

In this hour of changing maps and
making history and reversing civili-
cation somebody slips in quietly and
remarks that cayenne pepper is an
admirable remedy for mice. All you
have to do is to scatter the pepper
about the mouse runs and the base
boards, and then let the sleek little
nuisances sneeze their condemned
heads off,
A man heard about this new
cure some time ago. He tried it.
He says that after he had gone to
bed he could hear the mice gently
sneezing all about the house, and for
a time il was soothing. But even
the sneeze of mouse can get on
your nerves, and when the man tired
of the gentle "kerchoos' he finally
arose in wrath and his pajamas and
stumbled downstairs and brushed
up the scattered pepper and flung it
in the ash barrel, and then went back
to bed and sneezed out two lights of
glass and blew a crayon portrait of
his maiden aunt clear down the back
stairs and half way through the
china closet.
Pepper for mice may be a welcome
diversion from the war news, but
that's all it is.

COMPARES HEAT OF STARS
Scientist Says Stellar Bodies Are
From 1000 to $4,000 Degrees
In Temperature.

During two years Rosenberg has
studied photograplically the spectra
of the 20 most brilliant stars in the
northern hemisphere, from the first
to the third order of magnitude BY
a comparison of their spectra il is
possible to deducc their temporal
lures.
The results obtained agree wei
with those Of Wilsing and Scheincr;
stars of the helium type are the hot
test. and the red stars are the cool
est As a specimen, the following
temperatures are quoted: Sirius,
21,00O degrees; Vega, $4,000 de-
grees; Algol, $4,000 degrees; Arc
turus, 5000 degrees; Aldebaran,
1000 degrees.
From the aspect and relative dis
placement of the spectral lines an
idea may be formed of the pressure
conditions in the atmosphere of the
stars studied. Thus Adams has
found that in the light-emitting at
mosphere of Sirius the pressure is -
times that existing in the solar photo
sphere, which confirms the hypothe-
sis that Sirius is simple mass Of
gas without a defined surface of con-
1ensation.

Luck Against Pittsburgh
Last Season - New Um-
pire Relieves Orth.

George Chalmers is scheduled to pitch
for the Phillies In the third game Of the
Pittsburgh series this afternoon, provided
he shows anything in warming up. Chal-
mers was slated to face the Giants in
the first game Wednesday but he has
been slightly off form during the last
week and Manager Moran thought rest
would do him good.
In case Chalmers is not selected Frs
kline Mayer or Ben Tincup will try to send
the PhillIes up n few notches nearer the
Cubs. Lineup had wonderful success
against the Corsairs last season and is
apparently In great shape at the present
time He has been sent into finish two
games recently and pitched splendid ball
In each.
Manager Clarke will depend on George
McQuillan, the former Philly pitcher. Nc
Quillan has been pitching good ball and
Clarke believes that he will be able to
trim Moran's men. If MoQulllan does not
warm up well, Babe" Adams will do the
twirlinE.
II is likely that George Cockhill, the
former Bucknell athlete and Tristate
manager. will be sent here to team up
with Quigley until Umpire Al Orth re-
covers from the injury he received yes
terday. orth slipped in running to third
base to Judge a play and tore the liga-
ments of his right leg and badly twisted
his knee. Orth broke his right kneecap
here two years ago in q fall and the leg
has been very weak since. He was taken
to the Episcopal Hospital and probably
will be unable to umpire again for
month or more.

MEREDITH CLASHES
WITH ROY CAMPBELL
Worlds Record Likely to Be
Smashed in Millrose Meet
Today.

A new record is almost certain to grace
the books after the special 66O-yard race
is run at the games of the Millrose Attn
letic Association at Celtic Park Long
Island, this afternoon.
Ted Meredith, worlds champion middle
distance runner; Roy Campbell, chan-
pion of the West, and Joe Higgins, OF
Holy Cross, winner Of the $50 trial at
Harvard recently, will toe the mark IN
what is predicted to be the most sensa-
tional race in years.
Campbell ran the anchor relay for Chi-
cago in the two-mile championship AT
the Penn relays in April, and, after max
inp nm considerable distance, missed
catching Mckenzie, running for Prince
ton nv the narrowest of margins. Ihe
rrtger runner dove for the tape, else
Campbell would have nosed him out,
Campbell followed up this sensatonai
race by a still more thrilling one at the
Western Conference games In June. On
thIs occasion he not only won the West

when Matty was right it was almost
impossible to beat him, and he had a
habit of being right more often than any
