 Therefore, BE TT RESOLVED, that the Chamber of Commerce of Cordo- Va, Alaska, heartily endorses the prin- ciple of the Alaska Development Board measure, now pending in Con gress, and believes that the passage of said measure will do much to re- lieve the insufferable conditions that have prevailed here and requests our Delegate to Congress to use his best efforts to secure the passage of the said bill.
 And BE IT RESOLVED, that copies of these resolutions be sent to Secre- tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane and to Delegate James Wickersham.

 Whereas, Alaska is on the eve of a wonderful development due to the coming construction of increased transportation facilities and the open ing of the coal fields within the Terri tory.
 And whereas, this development should be fostered in every possible way by the national government in order that the American citizens and people of Alaska may work out their destiny here without undue and un- necessary hindrance.
 And whereas, the future State of Alaska will be one of the brighest stars in>the American firament if the country itself is given a chance to develop and the people here are en- couraged to labor to the end that the latent resources of the Territory be made available for use.

SCHOLA| PASS |S ONLY HORSE
 I RAIL

SUSANNA, Dec. 25-Now that you have probably heard sufficient to know that Rohn glacier is a man trap. will relate some of my experiences, and wish you would publish a warn ing to people to keep off Rohn glacier under present coalitions.
 We met the road gang when we. were going in, and they told us that the trail was completed, all the ere vases filled and tamped, and marked by stake on each side, and that the snow was deep in places, but we could relay, as of course we expected to do. They also said that where the trail came off Rohn onto Chisana it was steep but that we could make it, and that they had put in a switch-back, etc. The principle spokesman was w. c. Spencer, Bronco BilD.
 Now the truth is that about twelve miles from McLeod's we found where Lubbe had his horse in a crevasse. We went on little further and one of our horses went through the filling between stakes, but as he had a good footing forward, pulled himself out. We had to cut blocks of snow and fill the crevasse before the other horses could go across. Then we came into snow, belly deep, and had to unhar- ness horses and lead or drive them to break trail. In doing so the same horse broke through the filling about two miles from where he first went in. This time he went to his death. We then abandoned the proposition with horses and went in with dogs.
 It is not a hoIse trail, but 10 @ 5cod dog trail provided you travel in good weather. There is no wood or water for a distance of 45 miles, and no road houses for distance of 50 miles, but there is one relief tent about IS miles from Sushanna. Consequently warn ing should be pulished to all travellers to let them know the exact conditions as they are. Interruptions savages, are boosting this trail for their own personal greed, not caring for the lives of others, and such persons should be prosecuted, and one individual, whose name l will not mention here, had the audacity to pay for frwood which we picked up on the trail after our supply had been exhausted, saying he bought it from the Alaska Road Commission. There was no mark on the wood to show who 1t belonged to, and we were informed by the foreman of the Al aska Road Commission that there was wood on the trail, but more especially at the relief tent. It has been report ed by these same trail boosters that we were chechacoes, and were off the trail, and I wish you to state very

classes Of dealers: Dry goods, mems
clothing and furnishings, furniture,
millinery. These classes Of retailers
still furnish big section of newspa-

great tendency for advertising to
spread out into other lines of busl-
ness, particularly into food products
A good number Of market men,
provision stores, and groceries have
advertised for years. Many OF them
have seen their trade grow large and
permanent thereby. But in a great
many cases their publicity work was
confined to small and rather routine
notices, with no detailed information
about their goods. While this kind
of notice helped fix their business in
the public mind, 1t could have been
made far more effective.

The question of the breakfast menu
depends upon the individual taste.
The fruit should not be too cold, and
1t should be served in season. A
small compete filled with cherries
and currants. arranged together on
shaved ice, is attractive. Oranges
should never be sent up on a tray
unprepared. Hot toast unbuttered is
always tempting and hot breads are
frequently served. The secret of a
successful breakfast Is to have the

faultlessly served. Popovers and

meal, il they can be served as soon
as baked and with them marmalade
of some variety should be provided .

WILSON A LUCKY MAN

Right now President Wilson is a
lucky man, and the United States
Of America Is the beneficiary. He Is
lucky on account OF having been
saved by his opponents. A short
time ago he and his administration
were trying to pass what was known
as the ship bill, the chief intent being
TO purchase some German fnterned
ships. All America will remember
the famous filibuster that sent 1t
to its death. And right now, yes,
right now, what kind Of position
would we be in had that bill have
passed? Why an ounce of common
sense answers that We would be at
war with the world. England and
France would have resented such an
act, and the Presidents silence indl-
Gates that he feels that the Kaiser
is not his best friend at least. War
with the world would have been the
result of President Wilson's shipping
bill. He Is lucky man, and can
thank God, in which all America will
Join, that he had a successful opposi-
ton.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

In spite of all the distractions OF
the major league contests, a great
deal of public interest attaches to the
college ball games. Yet one of the
most successful college pitchers now
on the diamond. said last summer
that college players were rather over
rated by the public. Most Of them
found when they got into even a
bush league" he said, that they
were up against hard proposition.
While they had been studying, their
competitors had been living on the
ball grounds.
The genuineness OF college contests
each a battle for blood. and the en-.
thusiasm of the cheering and singing
crowds Of rooters have something to
do with the popularity of college
baseball. But that is not all.
Probably the public idea that pro-
fessional games are framed up or
thrown" by players in the interest
OF bets. Is greatly exaggerated. But
ball players are temperamental ere
atures. with antagonisms. jealousies,
off days and sulks. Members OF a
team may get sore on each other and
will not exert themselves. The catch.
err may give misleading signals to
some pitcher whom he dislikes. Cas-
es of charley horse" are constant
and unaccountable. The most will
ing player may have of days when
his vices are in control. I,
or course college ball players are
very human, and many of them have
these same faults of disposition. But
they are under closer control by col
lege sentiment and college spirit.
There are hosts OF gentlemanly
players on the ball ground who new
er completed high school course.
Nature gifted them with a good dis
position and loyal spirit. But they
have to put up with many cross grain
ed comrades. College life works a
lot of nonsense out of a boy. That

young men is suggested by the fine
appearance that college players
commonly make on the ball field, and

tests,

LIGHTS THROUGH MIST
Some for the sadness and sweetness

Some for the sadness and sweetness
Of far evening bells,
Seeming to call for tryst;
Yet, for my choice, all the comfort
and kindness that wells
From lights through the mist!
In the dim dusk so unreal that 1t
looks like dream,
Hard for the heart to resist.
Mellowing the pain of the close
drawness they stream,
Lights through the mist!
Blurred to new beauty, the blues and
the browns and the grays
Simmer with soft amethyst;
Then Gods own glory OF gold as 1t
shines through the haze,
Lights through the mist!
