LIABILITY LAW |S OPPOSED IN
 PANAMA

PANAMA. Oct. IS. - The employ CTS liability law, which passed the national assembly and is in the hands of the president for signature, is be ing vigorously opposed by local busi- ness interests and foreign corpora tions doing business in the republic. The latter feel that in event of the act becoming law it will be applied unequally and made a means of hold ing up the outside corporations The opposition of local interests is based partly on the application of the law to themselves and partly on their gen eral desire to have nothing done to discourage the investment of capital.
 The corporations contend that the law. while excellent in many respects. is too flr ahead of the economic and sanitary developments of Panama. They claim it has been adopted from laws recently enacted in highly de yeloped countries and is not applicable to Panama.

GETS \ VALUABLE
 COLLECTION

SEATTLE, Oct. IT. - The basis for q varied and more intimate study of the insect life of the state Of Wash ington than has been possible at the university heretofore was laid recent ly when Orson Bennett Johnson, pro lessor emeritus of zoology, gave the university his entire chronological collection. It is the most complete and most valuable set of Washington insect specimens in existence. accord ing to Professor Kincaid, head of the department Of zoology. and may be used to identify at once some destruc- tive insect which with independent re- search might require considerably more time.
 Forty years were spent by Profes, sor Johnson in collecting, arranging and cataloguing his specimens. Part of the collection, acquired by ex' change. displays butterflies from al most every country on the globe.

 Far from being a period of stagna- uon for the eXpeditionary troops. the hiatus during the last few months in the pursuit of Villa has been of almost inestmable benefit to them. particularly to the mounted arm. It has given commanding officers oppor- unities fo handle larger bodies Of men under conditions more nearly akin to those of war than have Ob- tained at any time since the past fifty years
 The manoeuyres. which are varied, progressive and in accordance with well defined plans. include such simple exercises as horse training and as cend to solving of warfare problems that involve the handling Of brigades. Fire control, although classed among the elementary exercises. is virtually new to the cavalry. although the in fantry has been working on 1t for several years.
 Pamphlets issued by the School of Musketry Fire at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, have been furnished commanding Of fcers and problems they contain in skeleton form are ampllfied and work ed out. Exercises suggested in these namphlets also are being tried out and suggestions for improvement. result ing from actual practice, are being noted. recommendations by regimen tai officers are being studied by Gen eral J.

States is greater than that with China or any other nation in Asia, excepting only India and Japan When our railroads are constructed to the Ka- talla, Matanuska and Nenana coal fields our real development Will only have begun. In a hundred years of Russian rule Alaska had made but little progress. The Russian and Aleut hunted the fur seal and sea ct ter from bidarka camping the while on the golden sands of Nome and Treadwell. on the copper lodges of La touche and Ellamar, while they passed by the greatest fisheries in the world as worthless. In half century the American has laid broad and deep the foundations of the empire state of Alaska. and we may justly celebrate the 18th day Of October as Alaskas real birthday.

ropesn war, and realizing that. under modern conditions Of warfare, caval. ry does most of its fighting on foot. commanders of that arm of the ser vice are giving their troops a great deal of dismounted work, paying par ticular attention to attack. In this connection 1t is noticeable that the ringing bugle no longer sounds the charge. for every manoeuyre is made by signal. Save for the ramp of hoOfs and the leather-softened rattle of equipment, troop movements are made silently. not voice being raised in command
 When a problem, prepared by the commanding general of his staff, is given out, an observer accompanies each of the opposing leaders and an umpire watches the operations. After each mimic combat, a critique Is held. Tactical errors observed are pointed out and suggestions made relative to better manoeuyres that might have been employed
 Full advantage Is being taken of the fact that there are four regiments Of cavalry at headquarters camp, a cir cumstance without parallel in army annals for years. All the regiments being used, 1t also Is observed, are be- ing manoeuvred st full war strength as provided under the new army re- organization bill This affords the first opportunity American command CTS have had of handling troops of this size in manoeuyres.
 The war game will reach 8 climax when the manoeuvres progress to the point where every fighting man avail able will be marched against an i'm. aginary enemy under conditions that almost approximate real war.
 Drilled from six to eight hours a day and performing duties which, if not carried out, might turn healthy camp into 8 dangerous one, the ex. petition thus far has not stagnated,

TERMINAL S|TEAT FAIRBANKS |S
 SELECTED

Thomas Riggs. Jr., member of the Alaska engineering commission, has announced that the commission has leased twenty acres of ground from the Panama Valley railroad for termi- nal purposes at Fairbanks. The ground Is located almost directly acress the river from St. Matthew's hospital. After the ice goes out in the spring work on a dock and ware house on the property will be com. menced. Mir. Riggs is authority for the statement, however, that the ter minal which has been determined up- on is not permanent; that 1t may be moved to some other location.
 The only particularly active section along the railroad this winter will be at Nenana, according to Commission CT Riggs. The activity will consist chiefly of rock work on the north side of the Panama river, the steamshovel which will be used having already been set up. It is likewise expected that the narrow gauge railroad mater ial which will be used in construction will reach Nenana before the close of navigation

WHY ALASKA IS CELEBRATING
 TODAY

Forty-nine years ago today Prince Maksutoff, the last Russian governor of Alaska, hauled down the Russian flag at Sitka General Rousseau, com manding the United States troops. just landed there, raised the stars and stripes over Baranoff castle and Alas ka became United States territory. We paid $7,20O,O0 in gold for 1t, and the usual pessimistic howl against the purchase went up from both press and politicians. Senators and repre- sentatiYes in congress protested against the appropriation to pay Rus sia, and referred to the territory as "Walrussia" and Stewards Folly" It was declared to be without value and likely to be Il source of national ex. pense and danger
 But now, after nearly half a century of American occupancy, we can view these early criticisms of Stewards policy with exact figures of trade and development and judge of the future of Alaska and her people by cOmpari- son with exact statistics.
 The trade value Of Alaska for the forty.nine years is a surprise even to the most pronounced Alaskan optimist Since that October day in 1867, when the American flag was first hoisted to the top of the flag staff on the Sitka commons, Alaska has yielded more than three hundred and thirty million dollars in gold and copper, more than three hundred and twenty five million dollars in fish and furs, and its people have paid into the trea- sury and Into the channels Of mer- eantile trade more than three hundred and fifty million dollars, in addition to its productions of natural wealth. In short, the total trade value of Alaska in this period has exceeded a billion dollars. all of which has gone into the channels of trade in the United States and made for general prosperity in our common country.

BIG SHIPMENT IF WHEAT FROM
 PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. IS. - One hundred thousand bushels of wheat, valued at $125,0o0. will be transported to South America from Portland this month, this being the largest consign- ment, it is said, ever going from the Northwest to the west coast of South America.
 The wheat was purchased recently by firm in Chile, when it was selling on the Portland exchange at SIPS per bushcl. For years practically no wheat has been shipped from the Northwest to the west coast of South America, and the shipment is consid- cred doubly interesting in view of the recent sale of Argentine wheat to i'm portcrs in the eastern part of the United States. 4 q
