Mrs. Farnham thinks that In general

says. to the mixing OF the races. She Is

 ISSUES NEW GUIDE

One of the most meritorious publi- cations dealing with Alaska is tour ist, investors and sportsmen's guide to Alaska and the Yukon Territory, by Rand McNally & Co.,, Chicago. The booklet is of pocket size, printed on a good grade of book paper and illus trated with sectional maps and half tone cuts of every district of Alaska and the Yukon Territory.
 This booklet will be the means of abusing the minds of those who read it, that Alaska is not land of snow capped mountains, struggling glaciers and polar bear; there is not a meun- tain scene reproduced for the express purpose of forwarding the interest of those scenic attractions. The scenic attractions have not been overlooked, however. But when shown they are treated in such a way as to show sun sets and mountains in the distance so as to bring into the picture generous portion of the surrounding section. Scenes of well kept lawns, with flow CT gardens, attractive homes, farm scenes. and many different mining op- erations are shown.
 The comiplers of this guide gath cred information that will Ee of great value to men who are looking toward Alaska for an investment field, place to make his home, or a playground dur ing his leisure moments. Homestead laws are dealt with, and liberal men tion is made of the actual needs and conditions surrounding the farming in dustry.
 A list of the publications, conner cial clubs, distances from Seattle, post offices and postal telegraph sta tions are given.
 The publishers have used great deal of the information gathered by the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and give gen
 
 erous credit to J. J. McPherson, for mer manager of the bureau, for his CO., operaton Stephen Foster, who for number of years was employed by the Department of the Interior, assisted in compiling the data for the guide. Many of the photographs that are re- produced are those used by the late Edward H., Hartman in his work, Alaska"
 The publication is valuable addi- tion to the many works that have been issued setting forth the many advantages and attractions of the North, and is a credit to the publish CTS.

COLUMBIA AT ANCHOR

Alongside the cruiser ColunDl once the fastest ship afloat, swings at anchor, a forerunner of the battle cruisers of today, although she would not last three minutes in an engage ment with one of her descendants. So obsolete is she now that the mod ern cruiser-s submarine could win an easy victory over her,
 Not all the enormous weight of armor on the battleships is allowed to go to the junkpile. Much of it is retained by the government for use in ballistic tests of modern ordnance and for the study of bomb-dropping from airplanes. But the guns of the battleships and other craft are being distempered and sawn into igOts to return to the stool mills which gave them birth for use again in peaceful industries
 The dismantling of battIeship is curious to watch. The hull of the average monster weighs about 5000 tons, the armor over 5000 and the propelling machinery and accessories 5000. The armorplate is tom off in chunks weighing from twenty-five to forty tons. The pieces are held up- right by powerful cranes ill the wreck ing yard and cut into billets, two by six feet, with the acetylenn torch to prepare them for shipment to the open-hearth furnaces. The nickel steel armorplate is especially valuable, as, when melted down, it finds ready sale to the automobile industry
 After the armorbelts have been dis mantled the machinery which once operated the turrets, ammunition hoists and refrigerating system is at tackled by 100-ton pile drivers, which break it up into small pieces headily handled.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-A marine graveyard surpassing in capacity any in the world, with the possible ex- ception of the Sargasso Sea, has sprung 1 into being on the banks of the Della ware River, at Bridgesburg, Pa., where battleships, cruisers and destroyers of the United States Navy, once the last word in naval construction, q being cut to pieces for junk, or reconverted into prosaic merchantmen.
 Odd squat monitors and tiny sub- marines, reminiscent of the days when underwater craft were novelty, are slowly disappearing under the crunch of huge crocodile shears and the in- cisive cut of the acetylene torch, which bites through eleven-inch nickel steel armorplate as they it were paper. A number of old British. troopships also are there, of immense junk value be- cause of their hulls of pure wrought iron.
 Few ships escape the junkpile. Once in while someone sees the possibility of utilizing the hulls for peaceful purposes and purchases one or two. The destroyer Stewart which sank a U-boat off the Brest coast during the war, for which it was awarded a metal star, is being con- verted into banana boat for coast wise trade in the Caribbean Sea.
 From the diminutive submarine Al, also known as the Plunger, one of Hollands original craft, to the pre- dreadnought Maine, ships Of every type are on hand awaiting destruction or conversion.
 Victims of the Disarmament Con- ference, the old warships represent in many instances epoch-making stages in the development of the fighting craft of today. The Missouri and the Wis. consin are examples of the first use of full side armor and shell-proof deck plates which proved of value to other navies in the battles of Jutland and Helgoland Eight.
