WHAT A GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
 MEANS TO ALL ALASKA

There are many people who still seem 10 think the building of the Alaska government railroad means no more than the building of some of the other raods in the territory in the past T. is hard to get them to realize that this is new land which one of The greatest nations on earth has decided to open to humanity.
 The mere building Of the railroad itself Is only. % 10 speak, the cut ting of trail r0 what is beyond and around. The very opening of the coal mines means the future employ nens of thousands of men but tha. in itself alone IS as nothing to the crowds that will be attracted.
 Human beings are like pigeons and many other sorfs ot birds-they travel in floeks. They attract each other.
 Taken an undeveIoped land and it is harder 10 get the first thousand people into ir than t is to get 4 hundred thousand people afterwards. The opening Of the mines and the building Of the railroad will reveal possibilities which we cannot now perceive without comparing Alaska g story with the history of every ter ri-sry under the sun There is 10 place iu she world today whose popu- Iation is nor increasing no matter hox ancient that place might be and hoas much overpopulated-
 Here is virgin territory where men can have hundreds of acres when they eonIdn't get one outsile-where there are minerals and coal resoure- es. and fish and game. and where any man can support himself without ;ha crowd and can gain affluenee with it, Today Alaska has better outlook than the state of Washington had about a generation ago.-Seward Gateway.

FAIRBANKS EXPERIENCES
 AN EARTHQUAKE SHOOK

Last week fairly life-sized earth quake shook the Fairbanks country, and according to telegraphie reports was felt all along the Panama valley. Al Nenana 1t was much stronger than It Fairbanks and down as far as Hot Springs it created quite shake. No damage was done. In all. the quake lasted about 20 seconds. starting with a good shock and dying out in two sr three lesser ones.
 An interesting incident in eonnec- ton with it is the fact that the Fair banks signal corps office had informs tion on 1t from all along the divis ion within five minutes or less after 1t occurred.
 In connection with the shocks also might be mentioned the fact that sev sral Fairbanks people report hay ing seen smoke issue from over in the Mount Hayes country along the Alas kan range. The men on duty at tine \. c. plant climbed to the roof ant looked at the phenomenon for some time with 9 powerful field glass Then haze settled down over the mountains and nothing more was seen-COrdova Times.

Spiral rrsllAe.

It is now an established fact that the majority of the nebulae known to as tronomers are sIi iral nebulae. Their study is very important, and in par ticular knowledge of their spectra is capable of furnishing valuable informal tion. The study of the spectra of nebulae is rendered very difficult by the small intrinsic brightness they pos sess. Nevertheless, some careful ex- periments made by Slipher on the neb- ula in Andromeda render it probable that the nebula has a radial velocity of about 1SG miles second, a result which is distinctly greater than the figures formerly obtained for other nebulae. If this nebula in Andromeda approaches the solar system with this velocity-11. .160 miles a minute-it sug- gests that the new star which appear ed near it's nucleus in 1885 had been a dark star which was encountered Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY

The poen, "We're With You Unci Sam, written by Pat Q 'Connor, ou. Seward poet, has found its way to tn, Atlantic. and it has been publishe and repuhlished by numerous easter, newspapers. The Baltimore Sun, afte having republished the poem whicl apeared in recent issue of the New York World, has the following to say in an editorial:
 Our Neglected Sister
 We are inclined to think that the poem of Pat 0 'Connor on Alaska. re published in yesterdays Sun from the New York World, will help our young sister of the frozen North as much as any plea which has recent, been made for her. There is rougl Kiplingesque swing in the lines and 2 manly sentiment in the worlds that at tiact attention and make us sit u and take notice. Alaska and adia cent regions. since the gold excitemn subsi1ei. have had little everyday interest for us. We have grown slighI ly excited occasionally with regarc to political and public issues connecte, with it, but most of us have giver very little thought to it's. needs, it' development. or to the question of hoy far the average man mp there wa getting square deal. We have taken it for granted that he was get ting on all right. or if we had vague notion that he was not, we have won dered why he was such fool as L stay there. At intervals church work CTS and church missionaries have de scribed the hard conditions of If, in that Territory, but there has beer no general realization of the faei that there are many grievances O which Alaska can justly complain.
 After we read he poem of the Alas ka Kipling we begin to feel that somethingshould be done. We have heen treating our little sister muct worse than nature treats her Naturt put her out in the cold, but We have been keeping her there in the matter of legislation and protection. We have been colder to her even than the ice and snow, which occasionally relaxes their grip. It appears that we have been meaner to her than fl she had been an orphan, whose sup port was hardship. and for whom We were underno moral obligation to provide. The O'Connor poem wakes up to sense of shame and delinquen- cy. It ought to be recited in the next Congress and printed in the Congres sional Record. It puts the ease much more effectively than the average speech and appeals much more strongly to national justice and obligation. When we have been spending millions on our adopted and dusky child the Philippines, We have left our youth ful white relative, Alaska, to suffer sor the most ordinary conveniences nd to be exploited at everybody's aleasure it seems. It is time to stop this sort of thing and give her al
 even break. - If Alaska is "witf Uncle Sam in spite of his neglect md unkindn,ss, Uncle Sam should show that he is with her and shoule hasten to make amends for is in difference.
