Pleasing to Defence.

The defence regarded the testimony
~ favorable, as II C~ontralicted the Gov
ernment's contention that the ships We're
sent to the Pacific coast 10 take them
our Of competition on the New Eng
land coast.
Mr.. Nellen then resumed hiS seat in the
witness chair and the Government went
back to the old observation-disclosures troll
ley line which was never built, This
is the line concerning which j. =. Nor
gan, ST.. spoke to Robert Winsor Of Kid

suggestion. II developed that around
October 81. 1906. Mr.. Mellon and NJ.
Winsor entered int" a private agree
ment which was never submitted to the
New Haven directors.
by the terms Of this agreement Mr..
Mellen engaged not To Interfere with
the building of the WoonsoCket road
unless IL interfrrcd in turn with IN"

given an option Il buy into the line.
and both parties were bound To COOP
crate in legislation. In addition II was
agreed that the New Haven should not
extend its trolley system further in
New England, should not go east OF
Worcester or north of Providence. This
agreement was deposited with Charles
+. Choate. ,Jr., of Boston and no copies
were made. II was explained that II
meant that the New Haven was To stop
where It was, so far as trolleys were
concerned.
Mr., AIellen wrote 10 Mr.. Wlnsor or
June 4, 1912, withdrawing from the
agreement. W had been drifting
apart" the witness explained. He was
pressed by T. l.. Stephenson for further
explanation.
'~rhe attitude Of Mr. Morgan toward
Mr.. Winsor made 1t impossible for us
ever to carry It out" he replied.

The electric light war between the
 two companies operating at Valdez is
 at an end The stockholders of the Valdez Electric Company voted at 9
 stockholders meeting to consolidate
 with the Alaska Water, Light and Tele- phone Company upon terms that have
 been agreed upon by the two com panes. Nothing has been signed up as yet, but the agreement has been made and all that is necessary is to draw IF the necessary papers.
 The A. w. L. & T. Co. agrees, how ever to operate under the 10-cent fran chise of the Valdez Electric, which is a third less than the rates in force prior to the new company entering the field This, however, is two cents kilowatt hour higher than the present rates of the new company.

The efforts being made in certain quarters to revive interest in the open ing of the railroad and also in the building Cf a wagon road to Candle may seem very much like an idle waste of time to a certain element among the plpulatitn- we refer to those whose principal vocation seems to lie in knocking the camp whenever possible but at the same time such action can not but have a good effect in reviving the Tagging spirits of the community which in many quarters have lapsed into a condition where Come day; Go day; Heaven send Sunday" seems to be the motto of existence. The pres- ent efforts may amount to nothing in a concrete sense; it may be merely waste of time and effort to undertake the building of a road to Candle and the idea may be animated by an over abundance of optimism but, is certain ly clear to anyone who gives the mat ter moments sober reflection that the effort cannot be altogether wasted. The movement is constructive and therefore cannot but be beneficial-if not along the line of present intent, at least, the leaven thereof will ultimately develop in some other direction.
 No effort of this nature can be ut terly devoid of beneficial results. Moth ing tha tends to build up can be an altogether wasted effort and some good will ultimately result therefrom, al- though such result may be far from the original purpose In the present case the animating idea of both pro- jects is the to all appal ent need for easy transportation to the interior sections At the present time practically every activity centering beyond a certain ra . dius from the coast line is hindered by the absence of cheap and adequate transportation facilities and many in- dustries which might flourish under less restrictive conditions are compeii- ed to languish or remain undeveIoped Within the interior are countless pos abilities for mining development which must remain unexploited until such time as the district is made easy of access through the opening of rail or

tAlRBANkS-Durln the last few years there has been more or less dis cussion. among mining men, as to whether or not sulphur in paying quan- t1tles could be found in Alaska r. R
 Mcclure, who was one of the first to stake coal lands in the Nenana, but whc later lost title to them, is showing some sulphur around town, which he saws was taken out of the ground not il great distance from Fairbanks. The sulphur is of a high grade and can be taken out in quantities sufficient to pav. if the government will permit it says Mcclure.
 Mir Mcclure also claims 10 have ln-
 formation as to the location of some oil not fifty miles from Fairbanks, and
 he says that he is ready to bring nVe
 barrels of crude oil to town any time
 the government will permit him to
 stake upon the ground.

cases the greatest difficulty about rais- ing a ship.
 The Lusitania and her cargo are esti- mated to weigh about 4O,O00 tons, which is a greater weight than has ever been dragged up from the seas hottom Moreover, the depth at which she lies ic perhaps 100 feet greater than any at which divers have evei successfully operated. But it is sug- aasted that greater power and bigger appliances might cope with the greater weight; while there have been recent improvements in divingg paraphernalia which might make the work possible, despite the great depth. Especially Is if claimed that spherical diving ma chine has been perfected. in which men could go to much greater depths and still work, using artificial light to guide them.
 Most plausible of the plans pro- posed is that which looks to attaching cables to the ship and lifting her few feet and then towing her inshore to shallower water till she would again rest on the bottom; then lifting her again and taking another towing ster upward; and 30 on until she should be brought to such a depth of water that ordinary diving apparatus would serve the salvers. The problem Is considered to be- at least, one of whether the cost would be greater than the value of the salvage.

The method lemployed necessarily created heavy burden of expense which must be lcharged against the mineral product from the ores thus greatly reducing the lprofits of the owners. We are informed that so excessive were these costs that the possibility of mining the minera at profit Is reduced to the scanties' margin. Here Is a mine containing a lmuch sought mineral which can bt

 dozen, all illustrating clearly that th' future of the district is absolutely de
 pendent on the opening up of commer- , cial highways and the reduction oi I transportation costs. Until this Is eff
 fected the country Is bound to languisf ? and the sooner 1t Is realized that condi-
 tions cannot be at their best until proP-
 CT transportation highways are estab-
 lished the better 1t will be for every
 one who Is a bona fde resident of the territory Therefore. the efforts now
 being made to affect some change along
 this line should receive the oppproba-
 tion and support of every citizen In stead of decrying the effort we should each and every one of us get in and boost the plan along by every means possible. A quantity of good live agi- tation will sometimes accomplish won ders and We personally have little doubt that a concerted effort to open the rail road at least will result in the desire

Commenting on what 1t calls tho Juneau Spirit" displayed by the peo. pie of southeastern Alaska in the at-
 tempt to retain the whole of the forest
 reserve money, the Fairbanks Citizen
 hands out the following: If the people
 of the first division think that the ter ritorial government is being maintain led for their special benefit, they will
 suddenly awaken one of these days to
 the fact that they have been deluded
 in that respect. The Juneau political
 machine win find serious obstacles to
 overcome if it tries to run things to
 the extent of retaining in the first di-
 vision all the territorial funds. The fact is that geographically and other wise. the first division is the most in- significant subdivision of Alaska. Its resources are limited to some big mines, the profits of which go to limited number of millionaires, and there is but little room for agriculture or stock raising. The rest of Alaska would be very willing to have Juneau

RAISING THE LUSlTANIA.

Engineers in England are seriously
 discussing the possibility that the Lus- itania may be raised from the ocean bottom. She lies at depth of 300 to 400 feet, on a bottom that is supposed to be hard enough to have prevented her becoming packed in mud and grown into the seas floor. This is in many

FAIRBANKS-Wh watching oper- ations on Steamboat gulch, tributary of Pedro creek, MiMke Legoff, Rus sian. sustained a severe injury. He had gone to the property of Anderson x
 Ifnduuist, searching for work. and as
 he sat near the shaft, the bucket swung
 back and hit him above the knee with such force that it fractured the limb
 For time it was feared that ht would die. but he was finally brought to town and placed in St. Joseph's hos pital safely.
 pr. J. H. MeCallum. who was called to attend the man, said that the break was a bad one but he did not think that the injury would necessitate the amputation of the leg. At first, II looked as if it would be necessary to take such action, but a careful exam ination and the condition of the man showed that it would not be necessary to take such a step unless complica- tions set in.
 Friends of the man said that he went to Steamboat gulch looking for work and was not working when injured.
