good god-in-the-car please, and your
petitioners will ever pray" Then, with
an instant return to seriousness: but
you mustn't think of that-of course,
you won't-with so many other and
greater things to consider"
On the contrary, l shall think very
pointedly of that; pointedly and re-
gretfully-because your brother has
made it practically impossible for me
to help"
My brother?" with a little gasp.
Yes. He offered to buy my vote
with a block of Little Susan stock.
That wouldn't have been so bad If he
hadn't talked about it"
When Mr.. Ford comes you must
forget what Stevie said and what /
have said. Good-by."
An hour later Brouillard was closet
ed in his log-built office quarters with
big, fair-faced man, whose rough
tweeds and unbrushed soft hat pro-
claimed him fresh from the dusty-dry
reaches OF the Quesado trail.
1T is your own opinion that want,
Victor" the fair-faced man was saying,
mot the government engineers. Can
we make the road pay if we bring it
here? That is a question which you
can answer better than any other liv-
ing man. You are here on the ground
and you've been here from the first"
you've had it out with Cort-
wright" Brouillard asked. And then:
Where is he now-in Chicago?"

quiet rejoinder.
A smile wrinkled at the corners of
the big mans eyes.
you are lodging the issue, Victor,
and you know it," he objected. What
want is your personal notion. If you
were the executive committee of the
Pacific Southwestern, would you, or
would you not, build the extension?
That's the point I'm trying to make"
Brouillard got up and went to the
window. When he turned back to the
man at the desk he was frowning
thoughtfully, and his eyes were the
eyes of one who sees only the clearly
etched lines of a picture which OBJ
scures all outward and visual objects.
the picture he saw was of a
sweet-faced young woman, laughing
through her tears and saying: BE
sides, the railroad is coming; it's got
to come"
If you put it that way" he said to
the man who was waiting, eff you in

Cartwright laughed and nodded. Its

$50 much shorter that the parallel
won't hold" argued Brouillard.
''The parallel does hold; long time,
small profits and slow return; short
time, big profits and quick return.
You've eaten here before; what do
you pay Bongras for reasonably good
dinner?"
Brouillard laughed. ooh, Poodles.
He cinches US, all right; four or five
times as much as it's worth-or would

"And in the end somebody, or the
final series of somebodies, will be left
to hold the bag" finished Brouillard.
There needn't be any bag holders.

laughed the host. "And our power
plant is another. You made your little
kick on that to Washington-you
thought the government ought to con-
troll it's own power. That was all
right, from your point of view, but we
beat you to it. Now the reclamation
service gets all the power it needs at a
nominal price, and we're going to sell
enough more to make US all feel
happy"
"Sell It? To whom?"
Mr.. Cartwright leaned back in his
chair and the sandy-gray eyes seemed
to be searching the inner recesses of
the querying soul.
That's inside information, but /
don't mind taking you in on it," he
said between leisurely puffs at his CT

were slowly hypnotizing him.

Juneau's vag ordinance has been up- held by the court of appeals.
 Cordova, famous for her copper out put, now claims the worlds attention to her clans.
 The way of the transgressor is hard, as can be testified to by the losers of lots at Anchorage.
 aHi Gill" is the name of halibut sloop that recently arrived at Peters burg from the south.
 The Seward city council has adopted the Australian ballot system, and it will go into effect at the coming mu nicipal election.
 Mrs. Gussie Bolau, a colored wOma D 1 40 years of age, we'll known in the Ruby district, was found in snowdrift on the Salatua river with both her feet badly frozen.
 Copper continues at a top-notch price and Cordova enjoys the distinc- tion of being one of the greatest ore ports of the world. The value of the i copper ore shipped through that town last month is said to have been in ex- ! cess of two million dollars.
 Men lost their way right in the bus i mess district of Nome during the big storm which swept all Alaska recently. Great drifts arose in unexpected places to the roofs of houses and not few had to dig themselves out who the night before had quite time "digging themselves in"
 According to the Seattle Post-Intel- ! ligencer, Emil Hurja, formerly of Fair banks, and now a membe of the Ford Peace party, will, in the near future, change bis name. The change will con- sist of dropping the "j." The P.-I. states that he will then pronounce it either HoOray or Hurry.
 l Just what will be the outcome of the get-together plans of the republicans in Alaska remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, that the rank and file of the party will not submit to any deal that may be made in Seattle af- ! fecting the nomination of a delegate to congress, or the election of the national committeeman.-Cordova Times.
 In an attempt to divert the fish bus mess of Prince Rupert to Ketchikan, Fl. c. Strong, of that city, has evolved a plan to place a duty of two cents a pound on all halibut shipped to the United States through foreign terri tory. This legislation is favored and fathered by at least three senators of great influence; viz, Lodge, Gardiner and Poindexter. Mir. Strong is a prom inent citizen of Ketchikan, being pres ident of the Sunny Point Packing Go. and secretary of the Northland Dock Go. He is in Washington in the inter- est of the halibut industry,

Last year the tax levy in Cordova wac six mills, and this year it is only five mills, which is a record that few towns in Alaska can boast of It might be also mentioned that for two years there was no assessment or levy made there.
 Figures have been compiled to show that the Treadwell mine has produced since it was opened in 1881, S6l,000,00O in gold. The great Bonanza copper mine, at the rate it is now producing mineral wealth, will equal the amount in about four years, and yet mining magnates seem to think that South eastern Alaska is the great mining country. It will only be year or two until the Third division will produce mineral wealth to the amount of S6l,- 100000 annually, and we don't boast half as much about our mineral re- sources up here in the Third as they do down in the First.-Valdez Forty Ninth Star.
 The Iditarod Pioneer explains things in the following: The territorial law now provides a bounty of S10 on wolves, but the bounty is no inducement to hunters and trappers in this section of Alaska because of the fact that the skin and both bones of the left forearm must be delivered to the authorities. As wolf skins are worth from 8 Co SlO Outside, and as they are worth from Sl5 to s25 in this section of Alaska, ac- ceptance of the bounty would not be profitable. The reason for the high valuation placed on wolf skins in To- terior Alaska is that they are in great demand both by natives and whites, who indulge in winter travel for the trimming of parkas, for which purpose they are especially adapted.
 Have you any idea of the extent of the Alaska coast line? The shores of the territory are washed by three great oceans. These are the Arctic ocean on the north, Boring sea on the west and the Pacific on the south. The Aleutian islands, off the Alaska peninsula, are separated from each other and the mainland by a network of rocky straits, and much of southwestern and south. eastern Alaska is made up of noun tainous islands that have rocks of all shapes and sizes. Theislands are really the tops of mountains half lost in the waters. They rise in spires and cath edrals, some of which are thousands of feet above the water and others hidden beneath it, lying there concealed and ready to rip open the hulls of ships as the icebergs ripped the Titanic. The extent of the Alaska coast, with it's windings, surpasses that of the United States proper. It is greater than that of all our states on the Pacific from Puget sound to the boundary of Mex ico, added to that of our states on the Atlantic, including the Gulf. All told, it is more than 26OOO miles long, or longer than the distance around the world at the equator, and, in propor- tion to its length, it has perhaps more dangers than any coast line on earth. Nevertheless, not one.half of it has yet been sounded by the coast survey yes sells, and more than half of the general coast line is not marked by lights or by any aide to navigatioD.-Christian Herald.

A law was passed by the last legisla- tive assembly designed to abolish from our courts the class of jurymen known as "professioDal jurors" The act is short and for the information of the public we herewith reproduce the same in full. to-wit: "Section 1. That no person shall be qualified to serve as grand or petit juror in the district courts of Alaska, who shall have served in grand jury, in the district court, within two years next before such juror is being examined on his voir dire. Section 2. It shall be sufficient chal- lenge for cause to any juror in the dis trict court that he has been called as a talesman or an open venire, and served more than three times as a juror within the preceding two years before such challenge"
 A caunery in Alaska for a Sound packer is an anchor to windward, ac cording to J. L. Smiley, Blaine can- neryman, who will enter the Northern field next summer. Mir. Smiley says that by having a plant in the North the packer can be sure of sufficient output even though the run of salmon on Puget sound is a failure. "It is too long between the years of the big runs. The big runs only come every four years and then they may prove failures. The season of 1917 should be banner year on the sound for salmon, but you never can tell. With cannery in Alaska, however, you are more certain of getting the fish," Mr. Smiley says that construction of his plant at Ketch- ikan will start early in March, giving plenty of time to get the equipment installed before the fish start early in the summer.
 In advertisements issued for bids upon contracts for providing aerial mail service, the postmaster general gives manufacturers of aeroplanes and bydroplanes opportunity to meet prac- tical tests as regular carriers of the United States mails. The bids are to be opened May P, and October 1 is named as the date for beginning serv- ice. The action is taken both to i'm prove mail service and to stimulate the development of the science of aviation in the United States because of it's close relation to the general question of military preparedness. In view of philauthropic effort already begun to finance undertakings which involve more general use of aeroplanes, such as that of maintaining an aerial patrol of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as an adjunct to the coast guard, it is be- lieved that the capital will be raised to make the tests in the postal service. The advertisements cover one mail route across Buzzard's bay and Nan tucket sound in Southern Massachu- setts, and seven routes in Alaska. if such service is proved feasible and reliable over these routes, gradual expansion to many other routes upon which present means of transportation are slow aud inadequate will follow. In the past ten years United States mails have been carried by aeroplane many times, but never regularly over author ized routes. Usually such feats have been incidental features of fairs and expeditions and have merely involved trips in good weather from the post office to the fair grounds.

 The Alaska Steamship Company is to maintain a schedule during this coming summer which calls for the sailing of a steamer from Seattle every other day on the Alaska run.
 There is a wonderful change of senti- ment in congress toward Alaska when the bill carrying an appropriation of S2OOOOOO for carrying on the work of construction during the winter months on the Alaska railroad passes the house without opposition. Even Joe Cannon, who is so parsimonious that be believes the money spent on coal for heating the administration buildings is a sinful waste, had no objection beyond a sar- castle remark or two to make.-Alaska Miuing Journal.
 Arrangements have been made be tween tho railroads entering Seattle and the steamship companies operating from there to Alaskan points to give a through rate from Eastern points to the Alaskan cities, which will materi ally reduce The charges heretofore in effect on freight shipments of fish from Alaska. This is to meet the compe- tition of tbe Grand Trunk railroad, which, since it reached Prince Rupert has crippled the Seattle fish business and was gradually accommodating all the Alaska business at Prince Rupert.
 Although the Iditarod district has reached the point where the indepen- dent small miaer is ont of date, the production of the different creeks through dredging and scraping will hold up the districts output for the next five or six years, says R. s. Me- Milan, mining operator from the Iditarod. "People figure that the Idit arod is a worked out camp. Itis work ed out as far as small operators are concerned, but there will be a half dozen years of big gold production yet before the camp can be called dead one."
 The largest contract ever signed for wireless land stations in Alaska was closed recently in San Francisco bee tween the Kilbourne & Clerk Manufac- turing Company, of Seattle, and the Alaska Packers Association. The con- tract calls for the installation at the earliest possible date of six stations, and involves something more than sl2OOO in the Seattle made instru- ments. Two of these stations go to Nushagak bay, the locations being Snag Point; two go to Bristol bay, at Kichak aud Nakuek; at Larsen bay, on Kodiak island, and at Chignik, of the Alaska peninsula.
 Alfred B. Hes, manager of the Hes Power plant, located on Solomon gulch across the bay from Valdez, bas an . nounced that company under the title of the Intermountain Traction & Power Company, has been organized under the laws of Washington state to utilize the power furniehed by the plant. It is stated that the company will be ready to furnish light and power to Valdez customers before the end of the present month and that a regular service will be inaugurated A big crew of men are now erecting poles and stringing wires in the business section and the service will be extended to the residential section as soon as connections can be made,
