AUTOS RUN ALL WINTER.

PERSONS who believe Alaska an impossible waste of snow and ice in the winter should have their attention
 called to the fact that all winter long automobiles have been passing from
 Fairbanks to Mccarthy. carrying
 mails and passengers. and never miss ling a trip through stress of weather. Also Sheldon's machines have run from Fairbanks to the new railroad town of Nenana. Could you run an auto mail service at this time of the
 year in many of the Middle Western Tor Pacific Coast States? We should Isay not! The mud would be over the
 radiator cap. Alaska is much mis- understood country and it is time that la campaign about this wonderful country be started by our Chambers of Commerce. Our winters are joke compared to those of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, or Illinois,

Fox farming promises to supersede
 Alaskas most promising crops of tu-
 lers. J. D. Jefferson has stocked his
 island with ten pairs of high-graoe
 foxes and expects to enter the arena
 of "big money" in the near future.
 There are countless islands in Prince
 William Sound fitted by nature for game preserves. Good water, plenty of timber for shelter. and long. shel- tered sandy beaches, where the ami mals may gather emussels and fish without danger of being molested by other predatory animals. Many men have made good money fur farming, and others are starting in the venture
 monthly. It seems highly profitable
 industry as the demand for furs ex- ceeds the supply.

THESE are the days when heart |rending stories come into the editorial
 sanctum regarding the ferocity ot immense packs of wolves, and of lone
 ly trappers being devoured and happy
 nights made hideous. Many of these
 stories are undoubtedly made out .t
 whole cloth. If Alaskans want to get acquainted with the genuine arti-
 cle of canis lupus we would advise them to take their pokes and make a "trip to Seattle. If you are lucky enough to escape their ravenous clutches you will have a hearty con- tempt for the harm the Alaskan va riety can do you.

THAT LARGE ORDER FOR STEEL
THIRTEEN HUNDRED tons O.

THIRTEEN HUNDRED tons of 50-
 pound rails were recently ordered for
 "our railroad" and the contract was
 let to the United States Steel Con- pany and the event called for tinkling cymbal and sounding brass. There
 was much rejoicing in the land of
 eternal snow" until our statistician got out his pencil, and then our hopes tobogganed to the gravel pit with a
 dull thud. Fifty-pound rails would
 mean one-hundred pounds to the yard of track laid; and in 1900 tons there
 are 2,6OO,OOO pounds; at 100 pounds to the running yard this would equal
 26,O00 yards of track this large crder" would complete, or about 15
 miles. AS the road, when completed, will be somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 370 miles long it will take nearly 30 years to complete it at the rate the contracts for steel are being let. And 5O-pound rails in country which gets 45 to 80 below, will be constant menace to life, as the frost Twill render them so brittle that they
 will break under the slightest strain.
 Fifty pound rails are considered too light for Shay logging engine. and they cannot be expected to transport Ivery heavy loads where the frost ren- ders steel as brittle as ice. The steel should be at the least heavy enough to stand the immense 50-ton engines ordered for the road.

A Race of Tenors.

Generally speaking, races living at high attitudes have weaker and more
 highly pitched voices than those living in regions where the supply of oxygen is more plentiful. Thus in South America, among the Indians, living on the plateaus between the ranges of the Andes, at an elevation of from 10000 to 14OO0 feet. the men have voices like women and the women like children. their singing being a shrill monotone. The Australian native has a weak voice. but knack of sending it long distance, and the lowest tribes or African bushmen would come into the same category; but, it is said, of ali human beings the pygmies of central
 Africa have. in point of volume and compass, the weakest of human voices.

or impair friendly relations existing between our country and a country with which we have already been at peace. This is no time or place to te seeking new points of difference or creating new cases of friction" o. and much more of the same.
 The Senate thought it had met .all objections raised by Japan when the immigration bill passed congress orig inally and some pains were taken at that time to strike out the provisions which were objectionable to Japan. Consequently the senate ignored the States protest and passed the bill not withstanding the Presidents veto.
 It was announced later that "ner- feet understanding" had been reached with Japan regarding the measure and that neither side to the threaten. ed controversy anticipated any fric- tion-that in spite of the fact that before the bill was passed Japanese were observed approaching the defenseless Pacific Coast. an1 companies of our little brown brother were being formed along the muddy banks of the opaque waters of the scraggly Sacramento river. It was stated later that the Japanese con- munique had not been in the nature of a protest at all and that the war ships had turned out to be Milwau kee barges loaded with box cars en route from Seattle to Bellingham.
 It is not surprising if the whole scare was thrown into the people by our bogy-seeing Senators, who wished to show the people of the Pacific coast that they were alive and on the job.

 The Indian. locomotive is always talk <. ipg water. At every station there is a tank. and while the train is standing at the platform, above the noises ahd cries of the people, you hear the gus;l of water and. If you look forward, yon see the beturbaned engineer busy with u dripping waterpipe. The tanks are usually supplied from a well or nearby river, but in the desert lands rivers are few and wells are not always to be trusted. At one village where we stopped the tank was empty, writes Thornton Oak ley in Harper's Magazine. It's well had gone dry. The engineer and sta. ton master consulted together. There said, mile farther down the road. It belonged to a farmer and still had water ill it. There was yet steam enough ill the engines boiler to carry the train a mile or so, and soon we had drawn up in sandy stretch of country where only few yellow patches of grass were to be seen and where d lean, black Hindu was rhyth mically bending and rising above a well. pouring out little bucketfuls of water upon the parched surface of his field.
 The lean Hindu was the farmer, and for rupee he agreed to sell enough water to carry the train on to the next station. The engineer came down along the train. calling upon the pas sengers for help. and soon was formed a line of dark skinned figures stretch. ing from the engine to the well. The farmer had two shallow pails. These went back and forth along the line. and, little by little, drop by drop, the water of the we'll passed into the tank of the locomotive. When the train re- stunned it's journey we were three hours late.

WAS IT POLITICS?

It looks as if somebody high in the councils of the administration had at tempted to put one over" on Con- gress in connection with the latest Japanese war scare. Possibly there was no deliberate attempt to play pol itics with that firebrand issue, but it difficult to harmonize some important phases of the proceedings. Whether politics or something else it did not work.
 Coming on the heels of Japan's pro- test against anti-alien land bills in Oregon and Idaho, and in connection with our tense relations with Ger many the announcement in the Sen ate that the repassing of the immigra- tion bill might involve us in serious controversy with Japan, had an cleo trical effect. The objections to the bill were made chiefly by Senator Reed, who announced that he spoke on behalf of the State department. He said he had been officially inform ed that the Japanese embassy had called attention to a provision in the immigration bill which seemed to dis criminate against Japanese.
 "I am unwilling" said Senator Reed, lat this hour of the world s date to do anything that will weaken

How many. please?" inquiries the lead waiter fatuOusly.
 After you've done some chain light ming arithmetic, which he must ad. mlirc, you say two" or three" or more, as the case may be. Now that the head waiter knows How many, please?' the serious problem arises upon which white linen island to lo- cate your party. He surveys the room. lie frowns slightly and purses up his lips. Rallied, he hesitates. At this juncture if there is a woman in the party she declares positively that sLe wants to "sit over there!" For some unknown leasOn this suggestion is al. ways frowned down by the head waiter.
 Once upon q time woman is said to have been allowed to sit at the table she picked out. but doubtless this is q pretty fiction.
 The head waiter tries to fit you to center table. As there are plenty of coZy ones around the sides of the room. you turn down this selection O.! his. and then he grudgingly precedeS your party to q side table. but not tie side of the room that you prefer to sit on. However. by this time yot! are tired of your cruise over the vel vet sea with everybody staring at you, so after you've fussed about who is to sit next to whom you are settled at last, and every ones face relaxes.- Helena Smith-Dayton in Cartoons Mag aZine.
