The Cordova daily times., 1916-02-15

The Iron Trail Arriving at Chitina, a different temperature was encoun- tered. The inland towns are too far removed to get the warming influence of the Japan current. as do such beach cities as Juneau, so instead of a mere zero the thermometer registered 45 degrees below the cipher
 "The difficulties of the journey - and the dangers, too - presented themselves from Chitina onward. Sledges drawn by well trained, wiry, mountain bred horses are employed the dogs being pressed into service when the trail becomes particularly dangerous and arduous. These horses are models of marvellous instinct and sagacity.
 Gan you imagine trail but a few feet in width - the one ribbon of packed snow and solid ice-threading it's way through immense soft snow fields on each side-more theaCher- ous than a Mississippi quicksand bank? You will have to stretch your imagination some, because if you were right there you wouldn't distinguish it. so powdered is it with the sifted snow to the same appearance as the vast areas contiguous to it. You say little prayer, if you know any, and trust to the horses. The trust is not misplaced. Without faltering, these animals pick the trail unerringly.
 For fear that MT. Wilcox might hold lightly the dangers of the trip the worst that had befallen him on the up journey being a few spills into the snow on the sharp turns -- he was treated to some trimmings on the return journey in the shape of a rag

Contrary to expectations, the President did not announce his choice as successor to Garrison in the port folio of secretary of war. It is unof- ficially reported that Wilson has not as yet made up his mind as to the appointment although the list of eli gihles for the place is narrowing. sey- eral prominent candidates having already been discarded. It is not like ly now that the new secretary will be until near the end of the week.

NJ CONCESSIONS KOREAN MINES
 AT TER APRIL

SEOUL, Feb, IA - Foreigners and foreign judicial persons will hence forth not be allowed to take out min ing concessions in Korea That is the broad significance of the revised min ing ordinance for Korea which was promulgated a few days ago, and which will come into force on April 1. The new regulations possess great interest for foreign business interests.
 Although a detailed translation of the ordinance is not yet available. a summary by officials indicates that an exception to the general rule men toned above will be made in favor of such foreign judicial persons as are recognized by the law in Japan. 1t is explained also that the new regula- tions will not affect those foreigners or foreign companies actually in pos session of mining concessions, and they are at perfect liberty to transfer their rights to other foreigners. The mining concessions secured by for eigners by arrangement with the for mer Korean government will also hold good after the enforcement of the re vised regulations. Tungsten and ten other minerals have been added to the list of mines which will come under the control of the new ordinances, the total of such minerals being increased to twenty-eight

ing blizzard, which continued for two days and a half Frequently the snow would pile up on the trail in drifts 20 to 30 feet deep. The horses, cut loose from the sleds, would plunge into these drifts, bucking and plough ing a path through to where the trail resumed on the other side.
 TWO United States soldiers had lost their lives on the trail a few days before MT Wilcox traversed it.. because their horses were ordinary steeds. unused and untrained to noun tain travel under such conditions. The general impression in our northern territory seems to be that the govern. ment would do better to enlist the native mountaineers and commission them for Alaskan ranger duty, instead of sending from the states soldiers unaccustomed to the rigors of such q life and unacquainted with the de mands it makes upon them. It would be far more simple and much safer a proceeding to make soldier out of an Alaskan mountaineer than an Alas kan mountaineer out of a soldier

BANK EXAMINER
 TELLS OF TRIP OVER TRAIL

The Pacific Coast Banker, of re- cent date, contains an article telling of the experiences in Alaska of Bank Examiner w. F. Wilcox. who made the trip from Cordova to Fairbanks.
 Throughout the article gives the reader the wrong impression as to conditions, leading one to believe that interior Alaska is nothing but land of ice and snow. It reads: "Hard Shedding for Bank Examiner. "'When constabulary dutys to be
 done.
 A policeman's lot is not a happy one. "-runs the line of a chorus from the old Gilbert & Sullivan opera of "Pi- rates of Penzance, but what of the lot of the bank examiner who has the territory of Alaska allotted to his DOT tion?
 Happy? Possibly, but hardly wholesome, unless the examiner hap pens to be such a hardy one as w. k. Wilcox, to whom the Arctic inspec- ton of national banks has been en- trusted in each of the last three years. There are three national banks in Alaska the First National in Jul .a,,, .l,o u,rr;r,or National ot Sow ard, and the First National of Fair banks. The first two are easily reached, but it is a long trip to Fair banks, and for some reason or other MT. Wilcox has been required to make his examination trips in the winter season, and to inspect the one national institution at Fairbanks has required travelling the long overland trail from Cordova.
 lover frozen trails and through driften passes, with the mercury try ing to burrow it's way out through the thermometer bulb, Mir. Wilcox made, in travelling mans parlance, the diff ferent towns on the Alaskan Interur- ban-the sled.
 Leaving Juneau with the thermo- meter at zero, Mr Wilcox proceeded to Cordova and over the Copper River railroad, made famous by Rex Beach

Fine Articles on ''The Dog''

No recent feature of The Sunday Age-Herald has attracted more atten- tion and more favorable comment than the series of illustrated articles now running on ''The Dog," by John C. Moses.
 Ninety-nine men out of a hundred love dogs, for, if they do not possess one now, they had one when boys and the intimacy kindled then was sufficient to last a lifetime.
 Mir. Moses series contains the first detailed articles on the various kinds of dogs ever published in daily news paper. Before tho series concludes he will have had special a-'icles on each of the forty-eight breeds.
 Yesterdays Age-Herald contained several new features and the Roto- gravure Section-the only one issued in the south-had some beautiful groups of pictures.
 In yesterdays issue there were 574 separate and distinct advertisements, occupying 2432 inches.

JAPAN HAS PLENTY OF ROOM

Thomas F. Willard in the Century Maga- | zine.
 1 The idea of Korea and Manchuria pro-
 viding a satisfactory field for Japans excess population is an exploded fallacy
 that is no longer widely entertained in Japan, and which no longer, if it ever did, has a place in Japans genuine as distinguished from her pretended, for eign policy.
 It is incorrect to say that Japan is overpopulated in territorial sense, for a large area of the territory of Japan proper Is sparsely populated, and nearly half of the arabic land of Japan is uncultivated. It therefore is not lack of land that impels Japanese to enigrate, it is desire for economic betterment. Now it is not toward the, east, with it's lower economic level. that Japan's
 millions yearn; but toward the west, with it's higher economic standards, under
 which Japanese of all classes can still
 find room for an immense improvement
 of their condition.
 This explains the Japanese effort to
 retain their position in California, Japan's
 tentative approaches in Mexico and
 other American countries; in fact, it provides the key to one phase of Japan S attitude toward the United States. In the last few years two points have taken clear shape in Japanese minds: Korea and China do not provide a satisfac- tory outlet for them, and the only really desirable field for emigration (North and South America) is barred to them by the United States. I am surprised at the seeming indiffer- ence of our citizens to this supreme1y grave issue that confronts our nation, at their apparent failure to realize that it exists. at their supreme assurance in their own point of view and their com parative indifference to the Japanese point of view

Birmingham,s Attraction Grows

Birmingham bids fair to be the livest automobile city in this section of the country south of New York or Chicago remarked R. B. Ragsdale. Jr.
 ''The Age-Herald, announcement that northern capitalists, recognizing this city's natural inducements in the way of a sport-loving public and rapid growth
 in wealth and population, carried with it extraordinary interest both here and throughout the state.
 People everywhere are coming to rec ognize the fact that Birmingham is a cosmopolitan city and that no small pol itics can keep down it's strides Capital is attracted to Birmingham and to the Birmingham district from practically all corners of the United States.
 Tn fact, this city combines all the hustle of the northern metropolis with that of the old-fashioned hospitality of the south No women of the old south are more charming than are the ladies of modern Birmingham and the streets are in beauty and attraction by the presence of feminine charms garbed in latest fashions. Birmingham is, indeed, a 'comer.' '

ONE wOMAN's SUCCESS

From the Providence Journal.
 In Lexington, Ky, woman has just died who was accounted one of the wealthiest women in the state. She was president and controlling stockholder in one of the largest magazine subscription agencies in the country. Twenty-Five years ago she went to Lexington from a country village and became teacher in the public schools. To add to her in- come she began to solicit subscriptions to periodicals, and her business expanded until it became of national scope and finally achieved such importance that a merger was formed with the leading magazine agency in Chicago.
 The fortune built up from this source by this enterprisng woman is estimated at $1,000,000 It is one of those 'suc- cess stories that seem like legends, and possibly it will inspire a spirit of emula- tion in many youthful aspirants, who will find themselves doomed to disap- pointment. Success requires a peculiar aptitude for the chosen work, and the enterprise must be attended by favoring circumstances. If all the conditions are right the result will come, whether the work is in magazines, soft soap or nut meg graters.

BRIDGING THE GAP

where new race of men from acrosg the after his hand has crumbled to dust; many centuries after even the civiliza- ton of which he was a part had de- cayed and died.
 Professor Wetze, German archae- ologist, has been excavating the ruins o. ancient Babylon, the city of wickedness. of pride, of vain-glory, that peiished many centuries ago. His 300 Arab work men, tunneling, under 50 feet of sand. found the banquet hall where the hand appeared and "Mene, meme, tekel, up- holsin" appeared in letters of light to the boastful King.
 Professor Wetzel found there the we'll preserved skull of a citizen of Babylon who lived 6OOo years ago, and he dug the sand from out his home stumbled over his clay bathtub. explored his kitchen, where his coking utensils yet remained He kicked brick out of the rubbish and his eye met the perfect imprint of a mans hand upon it-the hand of some bricklayer-dead these coco years. The workman had dipped the brick in asphalt mortar while it was yet warm, and the
 
 very lines of his thumb mark had been preserved. Professor Wetzel broke into tomb and found the footprints of the workmen as they stepped around in the dust while they were walling up the tomb, 60 centuries ago.
 Alexander the Great led his conquer- ing hosts into Babylon and lived for time in the great palace of Nebuchad- nezzar; and, although that occurred long before the beginning of the Christian era, Professor Wetzel found traditions about him among the Arabs around Babylon, and now and then he met man or baby named "zandar," after the great warrior who wept because there were no more worlds to conquer.
 The evidence of such common things as these helps to bridge the gap between the present and the long buried past, and to emphasize the common humanity of the race

Age-Herald a Public Forum

The Rev. R. L. Durant, pastor of 1 the First Baptist church at Pratt City, in his pulpit last night, attacked The Age-Herald because this newspaper recently declined to publish letter written by him in a spirit of hostility to the Rev. James E. Coyle, rector of St. Paul's Roman Catholic church. The Age-Herald is proud of the fact that it publishes more letters to the editor from it's readers than all the other newspapers in Alabama com bined.
 The Age-Herald publishes more news of the protestant churches, more news of the Catholic churches and more news of the Jewish churches than any other newspaper in Ala bama.
 The Age-Herald's columns are al- ways open to it's readers for the dis cussion of matters of interest so long as such letters are written in parlia- mentary tone and with proper regard for the opinions of others who may differ.
 The Age-Herald's columns are so universally acknowledged as the chief forum in Alabama for the discussion of questions of moment that they are constantly being utilized by members of every religious denomination in this city.
 This policy will be continued, for The Age-Herald believes that one of the greatest functions of newspaper is to bring it's readers in touch with each other and to assist them in ex- changing views on the subjects which are of interest to all.
