left the house, each quite aware that
they were being followed. Near the
Blank hotel they separated in order
to confuse the stalker. He might dod~

it was evident that this time he had

the whereabouts of Hargreave.
Thus, while only one man followed
Jones, several kept a far eye on Jim.
Jones scrubbed his name on a blank
card and had It taken to the Russians

acquired in some manner. For one thing, stress is being laid
 on he tonnage possibilities of that road, it being argued that better op- eration and an extension of that line will do more to promote the speedy
 industrial and mining development of the territory than could be secur- ed anywhere else.
 "It is expected that the report of the commission also will show that the richer agricultural regions of the Panama can be reached sooner and cheaper by building up the Copper and down the Tanana than in any other way.
 From facts which have leaked out ] it is believed that the report on the agricultural resources of the Susit- ma valley, to be contained in the re- port of the Alaska engineering com. mission, will not be nattering.
 "The full report is rapidly taking form. Before it is quite finished there will be another conference at the White House when the whole sit uation will be gone over again with the president and then the document will be sent to the printer. Even af- ter that no speedy announcement may be expected as to the executive decis- ion.
 Meantime the engineering com mission, in body and individually, is having many conferences with Sec retary Lane. He has absorbed vast amount of information on the whole subject and can talk as glibly as any Alaska engineer on tonnage, grades, eccentricities of glaciers and the like"

 It is, however, stated that the gov ernment refused to grant policy on the ship. The owner has sought in- surance from the government besides that carried in private companies.
 The State Department did not ad- wise the owners of the ship to make the trip, as has been repeatedly stat ed, but assured the owners that after an investigation the department was convinced that they would have a good case before prize court as the department was convinced Of the genuineness of the transfer Secre- tary of State Bryan also informed the owners that the British govern ment had issued statement to the transfer and would seize the ship. This statement was given so that the owners might follow their best judg- ment.

Jim Wilson has started the work of delivering the fifty tons of freight for the Rutherford Ramsay Mining con- pany, which is operating seven miles from town near the Valdez glacier. The trail has been broken for bobs from town to the foot of the glacier and the big rigs are now hauling the lumber, coal and supplies to the cache from the foot of the glacier to the mine and double-enders will be used The trail to the mine has not been broken as yet.
 The work of developing the mine has continued all through the sum- mer and much ore has been blocked out Contractors are now at work driving 700-foot working tunnel and in the spring the mine will be in full operation.

IMMIGRATION.

While hundreds of thousands o1 homes are being ruined in the Euro pean war, and people are fleeing from Belgium and other localities different views exist as to the future move ment of peoples from the war zone A great number of men below forty five years of age, those best adapted to building up new countries, will be killed or wounded in the war, and cannot be counted on as possible i'm migrants. Older men will not prove so desirable, and the boys will be a long time coming into the pro- ductive period.
 Some of the nations not engaged in the war thought there would be a heavy exodus to their shores, but it seems migration to such places has dropped, and it is predicted by the American immigration experts at Ellis Island that fewer men will come after the war than formerly. He be- lieves those remaining alive after the conflict will be required in rebuild ing the countries, and will ind many more opportunities at home. The British people will have every oppor tunity, if they desire to expand, to go into British territory. Defeated countries will have less inducement to go into their own realms, and will hesitate to allow any of their deci mated force to leave for long time to help open other lands.
 Canada, being a grain-producine country and having such a vast area of virgin lands, may expect many te turn to the rural districts to hell produce supplies to meet the great demand incidental to the war. And among those who will go will be share of the new arrivals from across the waters.
 The migration from Europe to America has been falling off the last few years. Poland and Russia fur nished many, largely because of DO litical dissatisfaction. If a new Pc lard be established, emigration from that quarter will be reduced, if not stopped, and Russia may bar the ex' odus from her lands effectually-Ex

OUR SILVER COINS.

The Lincoln cent, the buffalo nickel the $2.5O and $5 gold pieces with their accurate aborigines, the eagle and the double eagle with their strik- ing and original designs, are all de- partures from the old ideas of what coins should be. Each of these coins is unconventional in design. Each aims to be artistic, and certainly ev- en the least artistic of them is an improvement over it's predecessor.
 But the silver coinage remains true to the traditions of ugliness. On one side is the chubby face of an unat- tractive female, on the other side an pathological monstrosity supposed to be an eagle. Both the woman and the eagle are familiar figures in ev- eryday life; they are so familiar that their general lack of beauty or ap- propriateness is not frequently con- sidered. They compare very unfavor- ably with the bright and handsome damsel who adorns the s10 piece and the husky and vigorous bird which holds it's place on the $5 coin.
 The New York Numismatic club has adopted resolution strongly con demning the present silver coinase of the United States. The resolu tion is justifiable, but not needed As soon as a change can be made in the silver coins they will doubt less be improved as the gold, nickel and copper have been. The tendency is strongly away from ugliness and conventionalism in coinage.
 There can be no question of the value of artistic coins. They are more or less, in everyone's pocket The recent coins of France are de light to the eye. They should have small though definite influence in strengthening the artistic sense oi the people. And it costs no more te make an artistic and unconventlonal coin than to make an ugly and con ventional one.-Ex.
