The center of the fight in Camden
county is the Republican contest for
county register. Edwin W. Della
croix, the present register, has the

reported are dividing the regular Re-
publican, so that former Assem- bly,
man James G. Blauvelt. who is run

ever, say he will be nominated. Sen

ing the war just before he is prepared
to try issues on his own terms. That
is what happened to him in the war
between Russia and Japan.
During the last few months of that
great conflict surface indications were
that the Japs had things all their own
way. Indeed, 1t was not until several
years after the Treaty of Portsmouth
went into effect that the outside world
was permitted to learn that Japan
really was dangerously close to the end
of its resources. Military men who
have carefully gone into the actual
situation have said that had another
battle been fought Kuropatkin in all
probability would have inflicted q
serious reverse on the uniformly vic
torious Oyama-
AS matters stood Kuropatkin saved
the Russian army and was rapidly
restoring 1t to a condition of efficiency,
1t was generally felt that If he had
been called to supreme command
earlier the war would have had an
entirely different result. If there is
any man in Russia who can now
restore confidence and place the
military forces upon a basis where
they will again be a real factor in the
great war it is he.

THE GOVERNOR WITH US

ITOvERNOR BRUMBAUGH struck
" a responsive chord in his ad-
dress on Thursday evening when
he said he hoped to make the Capitol
Park Extension area the most beauti-
full and attractive spot in all Pennsyl-
vania."
Harrisburg has never been content
with Capitol Park as it stands to-day,
and 1t has gone to the length of do
mating to the State the streets run
ming through that section as we'll as
standing the loss of revenue from
taxation on twenty-seven acres of real
estate in the heart of the city in order
that the State Capitol may have a
proper setting. 1t has shown Penn
sylvania that we of Harrisburg are
ready and willing to spend our own
money to make the Capitol City repre-
sentative Of the imperial Common
wealth of which it is the governmental
center and it is gratifying and for
tunate to have a man in the guberna-
torial chair whose vision is as broad
as that of the men who are planning
the bigger, better Harrisburg that lies
just beyond the horizon of the future.
Governor Brumbaugh is with u.s.
for the improvement of Harrisburg.
Not only that, but he believes that
our people should have a voice in the
development of the States property
here. He desires that the new
Capitol Park shall be made to fit into
and be a part of the great park sys-
tenn now in the process of creation
here. He has confidence in Harris
burg's understanding of her own
problems and her ability to solve
them. And he will not be disap-
pointed. Harrisburg wants nothing
unreasonable from the State only
the proper cooperation of the Com
monwealth in the development of
the Capitol Park area. Governor
Brumbaugh is ready to give us that
to the full measure of his ability and
power. The city is fortunate, we re-
peat, in having man of his broad,
constructive ideas in the gubernatorial
chair at this critical period.

To Cut Alaskan Timber For US. Railroad
Engineering Commission Gets Permit to Take IS Mil
lion Feet From Chugach National Forest

The Alaskan Engineering Commits
SIGN, which is to build the government
railroad from Seward on the Pacific
All miles to Fairbanks in the interior,
has received permit from the Forest
Service to cut $4,000 900 feet of timber
In the Chugach national forest for use
in constructing the new line. The per-
NIT was issued by the district forester
at Portland, Ore, who has direct su-
pervision of the Alaskan forests, and
is in conformity with the act of March
last, which authorized the Secretary
OF Agriculture to permit the Alaskan
Engineering Commission and the Navy
Department to take from the national
forests free of charge earth, stone and
timber for use in government works.
The timber will be cut in designated
areas along the right of way of the
proposed railroad, which runs through
the Chugach national forest for sew
eral miles.
Experiments and tests of Alaskan
spruce and hemlock are being made
at the Forest Service laboratory at
Seattle, Wash, and so far have sub
stantiated the opinion of foresters that
Alaskan timber is sufficiently strong
for practically all structural purposes.
