UNIQUE Tourist Boosting.

Something unique in tourist boost
ing along automobile lines is that
which last week was brought forth in
California and already has obtained
no little Roadway. Special trains from
New York and Chicago, bringing
tourists autos to the coast at reduced
rates, comprised the principal fea-
ture of the plan, and because of the
remarkable reductions, it is thought
that a large number of tourists will
respond.

 Furthermore-they are developing as much stamina as men, they drink about as much, smoke almost as many cigarettes, and are just as independ- ent about it as can be-. they are doing just as much writing and more talk ing, and-strange fact-the number of men and women who marry these days is Just about equal, leaving out the Mormon contingent.

 It is true that many contend kicking" is easier for woman than for man. This is because women can do a lot of talking without any serious trouble fol- lowing unless they get a man mixed up in it, whereas man is confined to so much discussion, after which physical action generally follows: However, if the women are getting results, what does that matter?-and they are.
 For a long time, perhaps. man has been endeavoring to fool woman; he has made her suspicious, incredulous often, and when she suspects she does not hesitate to tell him so, whereas his brother would wait and investigate more fully, as was the case with the colored maids husband today. He called and said his wife had not been home for a week, and wanted to know if she were still working. When told that she was not, he replied, Thank yo', didn't want to execute no move ment til I was sho' ob de fac's."
 Today our New York women are do- ing everything that the New York man is doing-practically. As yet, I don't know that there are any of them in the subway trenches, but even the men sub way workers went on strike recently, and it is safe to say that a woman was the cause of the disaffectlon among them. But in the event of war. or if for any reason, her services were needed, sub terra, she is equipped and ready to go down and dig.

 Woman is there" today with the regulation of all irregularities. and the censorship of everything in general. and man, in New York at least, has due respect for her opinions and for her person. And that recalls the fact that even f1irtations are being started mostly by women these days. Here, woman is able to arouse the sym pathy and win the support of any crowd by charging man with hav- ing attempted to firt with her, and few men are now willing to risk such a scene as inevitably follows a wom- ans denunciation of him in public In brief, the New York woman--perhaps the world -woman--is unquestionably getting the upper hand of man-get- ting him where she wants him." But man, I believe, is going to like it in the long run. for she is convincing him that she is qualified to relieve him of much responsibility, as an illustra- tion of which, cite one instance:
 horse had fallen upon tho slippery street; about 50 men were standing around watching the driver beg and plead with his animal to arise and con tinue his labors; a woman appeared, stepped through the masculine fringe about the fallen horse. with a few delft touches had the horse unhitched, then stepped back and pulled the light wagon away from him-the horse arose. and without even looking back for thanks the woman walked on down the street wiping her hands with handkerchief about the size of $50 gold piece.

None of the large permanent build ings has yet been erected, but they will all be put up on this tract. There will probably be large offices for the officials and clerks. There will be ma chine shops for the roads and ware houses and depots for the Matanuska coal which will be sent here for ex- port. There may also be smelters and
 factories of one kind or another.
 During my stay at Anchorage, I have learned about the country through which the railroad will go from MT. Thomas Riggs, Jr., who has charge of much of the work throughout the in- terior, and who has personally gone again and again over every foot of the
 ground. He tells me that the most of the region has not yet been fully pros pected. The land is covered With moss and other vegetation which so hides the rocks that it, IS hard to tell what there is. It is known, however, that the road will give easy access to many rich gold deposits, and that mining camps will spring up here and there all along the way from Seward to Fairbanks. There is quartz gold near the line of the Alaska Northern, and there are quartz and placer mines in other parts of the Kenai peninsula. As much as $450.o0O in gold were taken out of the peninsula in 1914.
 Going north of Anchorage at Mile 1855 from Seward is Willow Creek This Is 40 miles north of Anchorage, and it should be reached by the railroad this year. Willow Creek has three quartz mines, with ten-stamp mill. It pro- duced gold last summer to the amount of $315,000. The mill is about 20 miles from the end of the tracks now be- ing laid.
 A little further north is the Talkeet- ma river, where there is good farm ing land. That part of the country is open. 1t is made up of plains and val leys spotted with groves and covered with grass. A short distance to the west of it are the Yetna and Skwetna min ing districts, where many prospectors are working. They are taking out placer gold. Some of the men are grub stalking, the outsiders who furnish the money getting half of the findings.
 One of the most promising mining along the new railroad is near Broad pass. where the road crosses the mountains at an altitude of 2400 feet above the sea. The pass is about five miles in width, and there are noun tains on each side of it eight or nine thousand feet high. Off to the west can be seen Mount Mckinley, which is 65 miles away, and on the east are the Cathedral mountains and Mount Hayes. The latter is almost as high as Fujiyama or Pikcs peak. Mount Mo Kinley is over 10000 feet high; it is higher than any peak on the North American continent. having it's equal only in the Himalayas and the Andes.

Ignite, suitable for all local commer- cial purposes. It has an ash which is 46 per cent fixed carbon, and it's heat value is equal to about 12000 British thermol units It is not good enough to bear exportation, but it will be of enor- nous value to the mining regions of the interior
 In order to appreciate what this coal means to the mining regions, it must te remembered that most of the gold deposits are in frozen ground. The frost and ice go down to bed rock. The earth has been frozen for ages, and it has to be thawed out by fire or steam. single mine will often consume from 10 to F cords of wood day, and so far nothing but wood could be used. Some thing like 100000 cords of wood are now annually sold in the region about Fairbanks. This wood costs from $i0 to sl6 cord and the average in Fair hanks is between sl1 and SIP cord. At s15 a cord a mine will use as much as $50 worth of fuel day. and without the gravel or quartz is of compara- lively high grade it will not pay to work it. Moreover, the wood here is soft and it has no great heating value
 The Nenana coal, when the railroad is complete, will probably be worth at the mines about s per ton, and as one ton of coal is equal to two cords of wood, five tons will thaw out as much earth as 10 cords of wood. Tn other words, the difference in cost will he the differ ence between s25 and $50 day in working the mines This alone will mean a great profit and it will result ill enormous areas of low grade, gold bear irg regions being worked. Ii means the opening of many new quartz properties, and great increase in the valleys and benches where the gravel can be washed over by dredging and hydraulic sluicing.

 It is easy to see that New York is ner- vous: when the opening guns of the cam paign for 5000 recruits for the New York National Guard were fired in City Hall park one day this week, there was al- n ost general exit from the federal court where some dynamite was being exhibited at the trial of bomb plotters. Then every one who had heard the firing called upto learn what the trouble was. and rumors covered everything from ac- tual attack by the combined forces of Germany and Japan to an attempt to dy- namite the city government.
 You may or may not like the moving picture game--at any rate some people do: at the motion picture exhibit at the Grand Central palace this week, what was to have been the feature mad to be called off on account of too much ambi- ton. It was planned to select some am- ateur actors from the audience, to give them a chance before the camera. When the time came there was such rush of amateurs that the management realized the futility of it's scheme. They took a few pictures but went no further, merely promising that they would give the younG hopefuls another chance ''one day.'
 This exhibition at Grand Central pa!- ace is proving something of disappoint- ment to the general public--it is of nQfo interest to producers, though the 0r1& &x ence of number of moving pictur> M makes it popular for the laiety. <
