Alaska engineering commission, which has a line connecting Seward and An chorage, cable messages may be sent to Anchorage at the cost of 50 cents additional to the rate paid to Sew ard.

 The rate on night letters of fifty words or less will be the same as that on ten word day messages. At import ant stations in Alaska all-night ser vice has bee nestablished.

TRIPS KAISER
 ARE DESCRIBED

BEHIND THE SOMME FRONT, Sept 29s There never was a time when so little was known of the kali ser's movements as at present. When he decides upon trip to some point on the front. it is kept as secret as possible, and if ever reported in the German press is delayed until the royal visitor is far away - perhaps on the other side of the empire. It is believed Emperor William visits the lronL n'ore frequently. than anx other ruler
 Recently correspondents visiting the southern section Of the Somme front did not learn until we'll past midnight that the emperor at aclock on the morning Of the day just breaking would review as many of the troops as could be assembled at a point few miles back from the fighting line. but still within sound of the guns.
 The correspondents were on hand before the appointed time and had d chance 10 see some manoeuvring that would have done credit to first line troops in peace time. On the dot of nine the companies drew up in parade formation on a broad level ground that was formerly a back yard of an ancient chateau They formed three sides of a square, at one end of which was a military band and in the center the officers.
 Half an hour after the appointed time the kaiser arrived in a lean, gray automobile lie sprang from the car with the yigor of young man.

KENTUCKY BOYS AS SOLDIERS
 STAND ALONE

FL PASO, Texas, Sept 90. - In the great army Of guardsmen from all states scattered along the Mexican frontier there is one regiments that stands apart from the rest by reason of its individuality. The others are more or less of the same mold, with the same manners speech, slang, songs and jokes. But the Second Ken lucky infantry goes it's own quaint way. unaffected by ragtime, foxtrots. vaudeville jokes and sensations of the Sunday supplements.
 Officers of this command say that no other regiment in the service can show a muster roll of men whose Am ericanism goes back two centuries. Colonel Allen W. Gullion, a Kenturk- ian and West Pointer, transferred from the Twentieth United States infantry. affirms also that no guard regiment boasts so many old regulars. Sol diering comes natural to the ratlves of the Cumberlands, accustomed to bear arms from boyhood aad brought up in the fighting tradition.

JUNEAU, Sept. 30. - Delegate Wickersham claimed in his speech here that he secured the Alaska rail road appropriation; that he intro duced the bill in the house and Sen ator Chamberlain introduced the bill in the senate at his request; that he wrote the bill and got the appropria- tion. John w. Troy, editor of the Empire, and official organ of Charles A. Sulzer, the Democratic nominee for delegate, wired Senator George E. Chamberlain, also a Democrat, if Wickcrsham' declarations were true. He received the following reply: Alaska railroad bill my bill. Passed the senate first and is the law. It was not introduced by me at the request of Wickersham nor written by him. But for the active support of the pre- sident and the administration it would not have been passed at all"

He walked as one attempting to go through a dewy pasture and still keep ones feet reasonably dry. with great high steps
 After making the rounds of three sides of the square the emperor then turned and strode to the center to chat with the various high officers gathered there. and then began to pin orders and medals on the breasts of the chosen few.

TEAS I. CELEBRATED
 BY NATIVES

TAOS, N. NJ, Sept 30 - The rising sun today saw the beginning of the celebration Of the annual Harvest Tea- tiyal, or feast of San Geronimo. by the residents Of the ancient commun- al dwelling of Taos, inhabited by Pc. eblo Indians. Late in the afternoon, with the setting of the sun, the feast was to end with the dancing of the famous sun dance in honor of the sun god and in thanksgiving for the boun- tiful haryests of the year.
 Part of the celebration was com posed of fair line of booths. decor ated gaily in the Indian fashion, hay ing been built in the pueblo plaza. Purchasing the wares there displayed formed a large part of the pleasures of the day Here were sold Apache woven baskets. Hopi blanksts and Pu- eblo wicker and earthenware. all painted or woven in the gayest colors and in a fashion peculiar to these In dians for centuries.
 The harvest feast really began long before the rising of the sun. for the Indians were early astir preparing for the greatest day of their year The rising of the sun. however, was the signal for the real beginning of the celebration, including the raising of the offering pole in the center of the Puebla plaza, on which nimble Taon- ans hang the harvest offerings. mel ons, bread and a slain sheep
 Tonight are to be held the real mys- teries of the festival In the kiva, or ceremonial cayerns underground are held those rites which none except the initiated ever attend. Only one white man is believed to have wit messed these ceremonies, which are declared to be as ancient as the tribe itself, and to have been handed down from generation to generation long before the coming of the spaniard three centuries ago.
 The sun dance in the low rays Of the setting sun and early twilight brings the feast of San Geronimo to an end.

A general reduction in the cable rates to all coast and interior points of Alaska goes into effect tomorrow, which will affect both day and night service, and will be of immense bene. fit to the people of this porthland.
