CAVERLY TELLS WHY HE
 GAVE MURDERERS LIFE

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Judge Caverly in statement from the hospital in this city, where he has been a patient for the past three weeks, gave his req sons for giving Loeb and Leopold life sentences. He said it was done simply to follow the dictates of his conscience.
 If l had hanged those boys there would have been no appeal by the Su- preme court, which wouldn't have in tervened." He admitted the evil dence in mitigation was made manda- tory by the statutes and there could be no further e2peal that would stand if he had passed a death sentence.

JUNEAU LIGHT CO. LOSES IN RATE CASE
 IN SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. H. The Alaska Electric Light and Pow CT company of Juneau, Alaska, lost the decision in the United States su- preme court today in its petition for rehearing of suit to prevent the city of Juneau enforcing an ordi- nance reducing the rates charged by the company for light and power. The case was bitterly fought from the time Judge Reed made a decision in favor of the city, early last year.
 The company will be compelled to refund several thousand dollars to electric consumers.

Gas Boat Tom & Al Adrift
 With Eleven Men Aboard

The fishing schooner Tom and Al, Capt. Brown, one of the finest of Sew ards fishing fleet, which left Seward about three weeks ago for the hali- but banks, is adrift on the bleak wat CTS of the North Pacific, with eleven of her crew of 15 aboard. The yes sel has been adrift since Friday morn ing. but so fierce have been the gales and so heavy the seas that four men 1sent out to Seward for help only reached here last night. The four men who arrive on Pete Sather's boat from Nuka island, after three days of fighting mountainous seas, are Fred Olson, Fred Noren and John Peter son, the name of the fourth man be- ing unknown.
 They reported that when off Pye is land Friday morning, the engine timer broke, and the men rowed in dory to Sather's ranch, who took them in his gasboat and started for town to secure aid. The survivors believe the boat has drifted to sea, or piled up on the reefs in that section, as stiff off-shore wind has been blowing for the past six days. The wind was so strong that the tops of the waves were blown into spindrift, making it impos- sible to see any distance over the water. Messages sent to Seldovia and Kodiak have brought no information of the boat, and if it is not found to- day an effort will be made to have a cutter dispatched to- search for it, as eleven men are aboard.
 Owing to the heavy weather and the freezing seas, no search has been made as yet by the local fleet.
 Practically the only cutter north of Juneau now is the Mojave, at present in the vicinity of Nome where it was called to render surgical aid to Mayor Maynard, who was reported danger ously i'll. This leaves the coast abso- lutely unprotected at time when aid is most needed. The matter will again be taken up with naval officers and an effort made to have a cutter stationed here thru the halibut fishing season.

Bulletin No 755-C, by Stephen K. Capps, geologist, contains some in teresting information as to the geo. logy and mineral resources of the district traversed by the Alaska reil- road, the introduction, written by Mr. Capps, being of special interest to this section. In a prelude to the SCI; en .r.c ds.u IT. the bulletin, MT. Capps says:
 A few years aso tie Fairbanks mining man who had purchased sup
 plies in Seattle during the winter or
 spring was unable to land them on
 his property much before the end of
 June, for it required three weeks or
 more to make the journey by way of
 Skagway and the upper Yukon, and that river is not navigable until it runs free from ice in the spring. Now lit is possible to land shipment at Fairbanks in half that time from Se-
 attle at any season of the year. Not long ago the trip from Nenana to Se-
 ward by way of Broad Pass cant weeks of severe physical exertion Iocver a trailless country by pack train in summer, or hard, long trip by dog sled in winter. For weeks in the spring during the break up" and in the fall during the freeze up' the trails are practically impas- sable to all travel. Now the journey can be made in few hours in com fort. Before the railroad was com- pleted the miner in interior Alaska who in the spring and summer sud- denly found that he needed machin- cry which could be obtained only by sending to Seattle had often to resign himself to the fact that he could not supply his needs in time to take ad- vantage of the short summer season
 that year. Now only two or three weeks may be necessary before his order is delivered to him. The eff fleets of the stimulus of better trans portation are already evident. Ore shipments from the Yukon basin, ev-
 en from points so far east as the Ca Inadian side of the international boun- diary, are being diverted to the new railroad. Passenger travel that for merly followed either the upper or lower Yukon on the trip between Se-
 attle and interior points now goes by way of the lower Panama river and the railroad By the broadening of
 markets farming and stock raising
 have been encouraged. Many mines that were once unprofitable can now
 be operated at profit, and prospects that were worthless owing to the
 lack of transportation may now be-
 come paying mines.
 After treating briefly the cost of
 transportation, Mr. Capps continues:
 Rail transportation will make it possible to place mining and milling machinery on lodes that have hereto fore not warrants such an expendi- ture. The agricultural population of this region, however, may sometime |outstrip in numbers that employed
 in mining. Mineral resources, even in country rich in it's mineral de- posits, are exhaustible, whereas farm lands may produce indefinitely. It so happens that the Alaska Railroad touches the two districts in Alaska

that are farthest advanced in their agricultural development-the Knik Arm Matanuska district and the Fair banks district. In each of these dis tricts it has been conclusively dem onstrated, by farming for several sue cessive years, that properly selected crops can be matured, that stock can be raised, and that a livelihood can be gained by tilling the soil.
 1920 census report shows that in 1919 crops from 4,473 acres, val ted at $393,9O2, were harvested in Alaska Tn 1921 see 3,5@) bushels of spring wheat, of sO,,! billing Gual hy, was l.ll1 ested' in tho Fairbanks district ah1 about 1,1o0 bushels in the Matanuska district It is esti- mated that the Panama Valley con tains 640,000 acres of land available for agriculture, and that in the Cook Inlet-Susitna region 1,296,000 acres is suitable for farming without costly drainage. It is therefore obvious that only a very small fraction of the az ricultural land in this region has been taken up, and that farming will in crease as rapidly as the Alaska mar ket for farm products develops. To be sure, the market for crops rais- ed in these districts has been main ly to such adjacent regions as were readily accessible. The railroad has main outlet for Alaska farm prod mainucts, except livestock, is likely to continue to be found in Alaska consuming centers. Stock raising in Alaska is believed by many to of fer great possibilities for profit. Do mesticated reindeer have been for many years successfully raised and furnish both food and clothing to their owners. Some reindeer meat has been shipped to the United States, and it is likely that large |arket for this meat may be develop led. There are now said to be more than 100000 domesticated reindeer in Alaska and those qualified to judge estimate that the Territory has sufficient pasturage to support many millions of these animals"
 
 The opening of the Alaska Rail- road has now made possible an easy summer tourist trip that includes a great variety of scenery and large area Of country, q trip that could for merly have been ade only at much larger expenditure of time, money, and effort The traveller can now leave Seattle or Vancouver on a ocean steamer and jour- ney northwestward along the inside passage" past Vancouver Island and through the picturesque and rugged Alexander Archipelago to Skagway, the ocean terminus of the White Pass & Yukon Railroad. A daylight trip of 112 miles across the coastal mountain range will bring him to the town of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, lat the head of river navigati on in the Yukon basin. There river steamboats begin the long downstream journey through Lake Lebarge and Lewes River to the Yukon, past the mouth of the turbid, glacier-fed White Riv- Ter to Dawson, at the mouth of the
