Mrs. 0. L. Dickson
 Dies in the South

Photographic advices received in Fairbanks few days ago brought the news of the death at Pasadena, California, of Mrs. 0. l.. Dickeson, wife of the late president of the AmericanYukon Navigation company. Mrs. Dickeson was we'll known to a number of people in this city, and the news of her unexpected death came to them as great shock.
 Just the day before the news of Mrs. Dickeson's death was received in this city, some of her friends here received from her by mail some Christmas cards and there had been no intimation here that she was not in normal health.

TO BUILD ROAD HERE.

Private adyiCes received in talrbanks a few days ago 10 the effect that the railroad surveyors have been nott- fled that they would be sent back 10 Fairbanks sometime in March to resume work here are the best kind of proof that work is to be started on the road from this end this year. This should put at rest the mislead- ing sentiment started by a croaker recently to the effect that the gov ernment would center it's efforts in building the road this year to the Matanuska coal fields.
 It has been announced in tele- graphic reports that the President will ask for only $5O0OO0O this year for railroad work. the explanation being that that sum would be all that could be utilized during the one season.
 Now somebody is trying to leave the impression that the government will spend all that amount in the purchase of the Alaska Northern road, running north from Seward, and in the construction work of the line to the Matanuska coal fields. The idea took wings and is now pretty well scattered over town, and by some it is accepted as though $ foregone conclusion.
 Tie fact of the matter is that the telegraphic report to the effect that the government will purchase the Alaska Northern with this years appropriation has been officially de nied That is, it is declared that no such plan was announced
 From the first, everything has tended to indicate that the govern ment is planning to commence work from both ends of the route this year, and a persons common sense should tell him that this will be done.
 In the first place, the administra tion is anxious to complete as much of the road as possible before q new President is elected and new Alaskan policies may interfere with present plans. To do this no time is to be lost, and construction must be carried on from each end.
 Then it must be remembered that the end of the Alaska Northern to the Matanuska fields, and it is a much shorter distance from naviga- tion at the head of Knik Arm. Thus it is not to be expected that much more than probably S1500,00J will really be needed for the opening of the fields. It is almost certain, therefore, that a large part of the fund to be appropriated this year will go into the construction of the main line from the coast to the n- terior
 Before actual construction can be- gin, it will be necessary to start the final surveys for the line. That is why it is planned to send the sur veyors in here early, for they can commence work at any time and Will thus be out of the way of the con struction crews.
 It is understood that the reason why the President will ask for only S5 900, 900 for construction work this year is because it will be all that can be used before winter sets in, and it is not desired to have more appropriated than is necessary, on account of the lack of funds caused by the war in Europe.

IT seems that the women are mo- satisfied with their efforts to get plac- ed on the same plane with men in political matters. but are anxious to change things around so the men will do housework Ella Flagg Young. the woman school superintendent in Chicago, has determined to teach boys to cook and sew. Surely times are changing very rapidly.
 IN spite of the fact that the Mexican treasury is reported to have been footed by each of the various presidents that have recently had control of that country. it is report ed that Mexico will be able to meet all her financial obligations. Thus we have undisputed evidence of the great financial possibilities of that country.
 ACCORDING to late magazines from the States, former President Roosevelt is busy criticising Presi- dent Wilson's peace policy. It is too bad that man like Roosevelt, who at one time was the idol of the American people, should lapse into politician of such peanut policies" The more Roosevelt talks. it seems, the more he hurts his own standing with the public.
 THE people of Oregon can ap- preciate the fact that Oswald West. their freak governor, is to retire from office today. One of the last official acts of Governor West was to appoint his cousin, woman. to fill vaCan- cy in the state senate. Ever since his election, Governor West has delighted in doing freak things for the apparent purpose of gaining cheap publicity, and it is probable that the appointment of his cousin was as much for this purpose as job.
 JUDGE BUNNELL started in right by deciding to fill all his ap pointive places with people of the Fourth division. This is one of the surest evidence of MT. Bunnells good judgment, for the official who wants to corner all available ap- pointments for his immediate friends seldom wears well with the public The Fourth division rolled up big vote for MT Bunnell in spite of the fact that it is the home of his su"- cessful opponent, and his regard for tle rights of the people here was justified.
 JOHN BARRETT, president of the Pan-American Union, was quoted few days ago in telegraphic dis patches as saying that all the coun- tries of the two Americas would stand behind the United States in case the latter became involved in the war. It was Mir Barrett, who. by the way, was formerly a newspaper man in Portland. Ore gon, that has built up the Pan American union, and he, more than anyone else, knows how much the smaller countries of this continent look upon Uncle sam as their pro tector and benefactor.

By subtracting the foregoing to- tai from the total area of Alaska, it will be seen that the Netherlands, with total area of 12,548 square miles could be placed in Alaska with the other countries mentioned and there would be a substantial sur plus of Alaska ground left unoccu- pied.
 But while Alaska is big compared with the countries of Europe that have been enumerated, it is small compared with the great empire of Russia which has an area of S,616,- 657 square miles of land. It is still smaller when compared with the British empire, including the British Isles and the colonies, which has a total area of 13,123,712 square miles.

ALASKA AS AN EMPIRE,

Alaska has often been referred to as great empire, and when one takes into consideration the fact that Alaska has only about 6O0OO people, of whom but about half are white, it seems a joke. But when it's area is taken into consideration, Alaska compares well with the Ger man empire. which is only about one-third the size of this Territory
 The really active part of this great war in Europe is being carried on in a space much smaller than Alaska Alaska has an area of 59O,SS4 square miles, which is more than four times the area of the British Isles and almost three times that of either . France or Germany.
 Some idea of the vast area of Alaska, compared to other countries, may be had from the fact that as far as actual land area is concerned, the German empire in Europe, France, Servia, Montenegro, Belgium, England, Wales, Scotland and Ire land could all be placed within the boundaries of Alaska and there would be 14,125 square miles of Alaskan territory left sticking out around the border.
 
 this let him take a pencil and figure it out. The foregoing countries have the following areas, respectively:

BLOSSOM TIME IN SANTA EE.
II is blossom time in Santa Fe;
Oh, blssful days Of harmony
When roguish robins roundelay
Mocks meadowlark's blythe thren-
ody
Blossom of the pear tree, blossom Of
the cherry
Blossom of the apple that is sweet
as dawn oday,
Flower of the peach tree, star Of
meadow berry
All the scented fruiting flowers are
spread abroad ina May!
Nodding from the low trees, hiding in
the grasses,
They are up with buttercup and
daisy face and fern,
out where winds of May blow, up
when April passes,
Fruit blooms have no time to walt
till half the year shall turn
Poppy flower and gold glow, danes
Of lazy summer,
Rose and black-eyed Susan. thew can
flaunt and that is all,
They are drowsy gentlefolk, each one
a later conner;
They have naught to do or be when
once their fair looks fall
Blossom of the pear Tree, blossoms of
the cherry,
They are up at work by spring, their
perfumed SHOWS unfurled,
While the days are bonniest. while the
year Is merry
They must make good haste to.
turn to fruit for all the world,

Last eyeutlde / strolled upon the hill
Along the trails of April that

The afternoon was beautiful and still
Aud everything reminded me Of
YOU
The drowsy litany of mating birds.
And distant murmur of the languid
sea-
Called to my heart those first Impas-
stoned words
That IN The spring OF life you sighed
to me.
/ stopped and plucked the flowers be-
meath my feet.
The simple woodland flowers, OF
varied hue:
And every one ! plucked was fair and
sweet,
And every ono reminded me of you.
The wind that swayed the robins nest
above,
The sunshine on the mountain over
head,
Recalled the holy springtime Of our
love,
And all the tender nothines chat we
said.
Oh, 1t was lovely upon the grass.
Among the blossoms OF the fields
afar:
The woodland blossoms, dear, that
soon Will pass
Into the mIsts of heaven where you

Oh, II was lovely there upon that hill,
Along the trails of April tnat /

The afternoon was beautifui and

And everything reminded me Of

"PEG o. MY HEART"

Like a breath of air from a rose
scented garden is ''Peg o. My Heart"
Oliver Moroscos production of J.
Hartley Manners comedy which has
just concluded run Of nearly two
years at the Cort Theater, New York
City, and which comes to the Metro
politian for weeks engagement be-
ginning Easter Sunday, April 4.
| 1t is sweet, clean and wholesome
and through it all is delightful strain
of Irish American humor and a touch
of pathos, both of which combine to
make it the most attractive stage
story theatergoer:; have been offered
in many years.
In these days of underworld drama
and risque musical farces it is truly
gratifying to see wholesome play like
Peg o. My Heart" presented. That
the public appreciates Mr.. Morosco's
effort to spread the delight that at.
tends the witnessing of the play is evil
dent through the fact that in every
city where the comedy has been pre-.
scented it has played to capacity
audiences.
Mr.. Morosco is sending Elsa Ryan
to this city as Peg" In so doing he
is favoring the theater-going public
here, for Miss Ryan is a wonderfully
artistic Peg and is said to give per-
Torrance that fingers in the memory
as sweet thought of delightful &C.
casion. She was selected for the role
of Peg" by Mr.. Morosco himself as
he considers her one of the greatest
actresses on the American stage.
What makes it all the more pleasing
is the fact that the producer has sup
piled a company that suits the play
exactly. Also, the production is elab-
crate in every way.
| Prominent in the cast are Thomas
Holding, Alice Butler, Vivian Gilbert,
Agnes Heron Miller, Sydney Mather,
Marie Merlau, Robert Forsyth and
Herbert Ashton.

ark, N. j., president of the parish
school department, has his papers and
discussions already we'll in hand. In
the seminary department Monsignor
Peterson Of Boston will see that ques.
tions of importance receive due con-
sideration and discussion.
There has never been such wide.
spread interest in education as that
manifested at the present time, and
never such mad and unconsidered
furore for fads and "isms." The fun.
damental truths of education bid fair
to be lost sight Of entirely and it re-
mains for the church, as ever, to hold
to the best in education, and to con-
serve it, not only for her own children,
but for the world at large.
The aim of the Catholic Educational
association is to p.omte the best in.
terests of Catholic education; to en-
courage it's adherents, to cling to the
old basic truths and not to wander
after false gods; and to aid them in
this by wise counsel and careful plans.
In the comparatively brief span Of its
existence, much has been accomplished
by the association, and much still re-
mains to be done. The cooperation
of all interested in this very vital mat
ter will help greatly to further the
good work.
