satisfied with the work and re-

GOVERNMENT GRATITUDE

Suppose you should work for one employer for hfty years at the same old salary and that at the expiration ot half century he should take you into his prVate olce and give you slight rase-would you exude gratitude at every pore?
 Dr. Caroline Asenath Grant Burghardt is ln posi- ton to answer this question: for after fifty years ot con tnuous service with the government Dr. Burghardt has been given her first promoton from clerk at S9Oo year to clerk at $OOO in the bureau of navigation of the de- nartnent of commerce. Counting 200 the average salary of government clerk, Dr. Burghardt will reach that goal at the end of century and half of servlce II she keeps on moving Dr. Burghardt is native ot Mas sachusetts graduate of Howard University Meolcal College of Washington and was in the medical corps ot the army during the Civil She was appointed to the government service in the treasury department Tn looo at the request of William Cullen Bryant
 Dr. Burghardt has done her work well. In private employment she would have promotion long ago. Her case is but one of thousands of examples Illuminating the reason why there little real vivacity in the govern ment service.

HOW ABOUT THE MINERALS?

Creation of Mt Mckinley park by this congress will undoubtedly be followed by appropriations in the future for wagon roads and trails by which the remote fasnesSes of the now almost impenetrable Alaskan range will be made more accessible for future exploitation.
 One feature concerning this national park is of more than passing interest and that is the question of develop ing the mineral resources within it. copy of the law will be awaited with anxiety by those interested in deve oping the mineral resources of Alaska.

THE H. C. OF RAILS

At the rate the price of rails is going skyward it will cost for the steel for line next year than 1t does for both steel and rOadbed this year Last month consgn- ment of rails for the Fairbanks division were ecu ed by the Seattle purchasing agent for $36 per ton Less than 20 days later the low bid 10000 tons was $40 per ton or an increase of about 5 for the month.
 By contracting for all the rails necessary for the main line in 1915 the commission could have saved some thing like S1O per ton all the rails needed but then no one expected the war to drag on and on and on.

SEES QUICK END FOR RAIDER
British Officer Says Only One. Is
Operating.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-Commander
John Blackwood, assistant naval attache
of the British embassy, with offices in
this city, is Of the opinion that there is
only one raider at work, despite the
wide range of her operations. He be-
lieves the ship now reported is the
same raider which stopped the Belgian
steamer Samland 400 miles OF the Irish
coast on December l.
Regarding the possibility Of German
commerce desroyer's ability to escape
into the Atlantic ocean through the al
lied patrol in the North Sea, Com
mander Blackwood said:
"In the northern latitudes there are
about only four or five hours of-day-
light, and it is extremely difficult to
sight any foreign vessels passing
through under cover Of darkness. In
addition to darkness, heavy sea fogs
are prevalent. which also act as cloak
to any hostile ship.
at is reasonable to suppose that she
hugged the Norwegian coast until she
believed herself out OF danger, and then
struck out into the Atlantic, realizing
that she had evaded the patrol.
I'VE believe that the present raider
was placed in commission and received
all her fittings in some German port 1t
would have been impossible to have
fitted her so completely on the high
seas. Not only are her guns concealed
behind collapsible bulwarks. which are
lowered when the raider goes into ac-
ton, but we believe she also is fitted
with four deck torpedo tubes.
You can depend on 1t that there is
only one German raider now operating.
and you may be equally sure that it
is only a question OF a short time when
she will be either captured or forced
to intern in some neutral port
