COL. sLElcHER's IDEAS
 CONCERNING ALASKA


 The following interview with Col. John A. Sleicher, proprietor of Les lies Weekly and Judge Magazine, is taken from the Chicago Tribune;
 Alaska is a land of magnificent distances and every section naturally seeks development before any other. This is all right Fair competition does good not harm, but there is room for everybody in Alaska and the blightened effect of sectional jealous ies should not gain foothold there.
 Secondly. Alaska should not only send out photographs of its wonderful glaciers. the most remarkable in the world, and its snow-capped mountains It's dog sleds and it's icebergs. It should do what the Swiss mountain eers always do. accompany the pie lures of icy peaks with photographs of green pastures and lofty timber and the enormous potatoes, turnips. and other root crops that flourish so amazingly in its rich soil.
 Thirdly. stop the tendency to undertaking and trust abusing What good have they done? Is any poor man richer? Is the cost of living any lower? Has Alaska grown?
 Fourth Alaska should have laws that will attract and not repel the man with money-the man who wants to so into business. whether he be a big man or a little man. lf the big man cannot find an investment prof itable in Alaska. then surely the lit- tie man cannot.
 Alaska will learn by experience. It is learning. It is territory of toilers. with no idlers or tramps. Pro- vidence has blest 1t with inestimable natural wealth. The harvest Is get ting ready for the husbandman. Let Alaska's doors be open to him and in another decade all will be trans formed.
 My suggestion for the relief and development of Alaska is a provision for the appointment of an assistant or deputy secretary of the interior to reside in Alaska-someone thor oughly familiar with its conditions and requirements. who shall have plenary authority to issue mineral and land grants. subject of course to the approval of the secretary.
 Prom a scenid standpoint there is nothing in the world to equal the Alaskan trip and it is all made in complete comfort. The tourist tray el to Alaska will grow by leaps and bounds"

IRON AND STEEL


 NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Pig iron. af- ter being in a rut for months, while steel has been active at advancing prices, has started on what promises to be an important movement The prices are up 25 cents to 30 cents and sudden injury from many sources in- dicates the effort of consumers to forestall a long delayed rise.
 The Southern Ohio market has been particularly active. Sales of basic at Cincinnati were above 100000 tons in July, including 10000 to a large sheet interest: and two inquiries are pending, one for 1S.OOO and another for 10000 tons In foundry iron. Gin cinnau sales have been at higher pric- es. most sellers of southern iron now asking S1OSO. Birmingham, for No. Q. New York and Chicago markets also have broadened.
 To an increasing extent foundry ir- on buyers are inQuiring for 1916 iron.

TANANA WOMAN MEETS DEATH
 BY DROWNING

FAIRBANKS. Aug. 2.--J. S. Mccann of the steamer Panama, which arriv- ed In port yesterday morning, brings word of the death by drowning of Mrs. Williams at Panama one week ago yesterday. says the Fairbanks Citizen. The name Of the husband of the woman cannot be learned. but Che story told by Capt. McCann is to the effect that he also nearly lost his life.
 The couple were sailing on the Yu- kon river in front of Panama in a sail boat. They went around the point of larges island. which lies in the Yu- 1 kon directly in front Of town, and were lost to the sight of the villagers who had been watching them nayi- gate their quaint craft
 The story told by the husband of what occurred from that time on, was somewhat incoherent, according to what Capt. McCann heard at Panama, the man having been picked up late ! Sunday night in an almost insane condition. He was taken to town. where he stated that his wife had drowned when the boat upset.
 According to the story told by the husband. the couple had used sand with which to ballast their craft. When they reached the side of the island furthest away from the town, heavy gust of wind came along and turned the boat completely over. It's occu- pants being thrown into the water. The woman could not swim. but she was seized by her husband, who swan back to the overturned boat with her and told her to hang onto it while he lowed 1t asohre.
 He then pasesd the line from the boat about his body and attempted to swim ashore He was successful to some extent in pulling the boat along but the mast. which was point ing downward. finally bit bottom. with the result that the man was forced Go cease his efforts to tow the boat ashore in that manner. He then started back to the assistance of his wife. but before he reached the boat she let go her hold and sank. After she had come up the second time the husband managed to get hold of his wife. but she was so far gone that she did not realize what she was doing and was of no assistance what ever. so the man had to give up try ing to save her.
 As soon as the drowning was re- ported a number of the citizens of Panama organized a search for the body but 1t was prosecuted without result However. just before he left Panama. Capt. McCann heard that the body of the woman was found at Lou den last Wednesday 1SO miles from the scene Of the tragedy.

GERMANS EXPECT
 WAR TO LAST
 FOR LONG TIME


 That Germans expect the war to continue for many years, that Ger many is permanently planted In Bel gium and that tho food supply in Germany Is regulated by the govern ment In such a manner that there is no danger Of starvation in Germany but that that country can continue the war indefinitely. are pregnant statements contained in O letter re- ceiyed by Mrs. J. F. A. Strong from Q Berlin schoolmate.
 "rhe people of Germany are united for the war and in their admiration and love of their Emperor to man. said Mrs. Strong's schoolmate, who though a resident of the German cap ital. is an American girl.
 She said that one would hardly know in Berlin that the country Is at war if 1t were not for the frequency with which one sees people in mourn ing. the number of troops that are seen and the slightly increased cost of food. 'The cost of bread has been reduced since the government began issuing bread tickets every two weeks. The amount of bread permitted to each person while sufficient is in such quantities that none of 1t can be wasted. The cost of meat, however, has been constantly advancing.
 The letter states that there is no doubt in the minds of the German people about the ultimate triumph of Germanys arms. though they fully realize the power of the combination of powers against which they are pitted and do not expect an early ter imitation of the conflict

considering our fortifcations at
the entrances to our most important
harbors we often hear them referred
to as our coast defenses. AS a mat
ter of fact, we have no coast defense
except our navy. The great guns at
Sandy Hook may prevent a hostile
fleet from sailing into New York bay,
but they cannot protect even the
New Jersey coast, where, at Sea Girt,
an invading army would find an ex-
ceIlent basis, with military camp
already laid out, for operations
against either New York or Philadel-
phia.
The same thing is true along the
New England coast, our great in
dustrial states which, should they
fall into the hands of an enemy,
could be levied against for enormous
indemnities far greater than any
that Brussels and Antwerp have been
forced to pay. All along the Atlantic
seaboard and the Pacific, too, there
is the same opportunity for invasion
once our navy is swept from the
seas. We have a few harbor de-
fenses, although so greatly under
manned and so short of ammunition
that even they would be practically
useless at the present time against
first-class power, but the navy is
our only coast defense. When we
realize the extent of our coast lines,
we can begin to appreciate how
necessary it is to have a navy thor
oughly equipped and wholly ample
for the great duty it would be called
upon to perform in the event of
trouble.
