ALASKA UN EMPIRE, GOULD LiVE
WITHOUT INIPORIS FROM WORLD
Mm. Lena Morrow Lewis, tho Soc
ialist speaker who addressed tho cit
izens of Skagway last summer and
who made the grand tour of Alaska
during the season, everywhere win
ning friends for herself by hor pleas
ing oratory and earnest argumonts,
for the political system sho Is fight

cbaorvatlons of Alaska In n recent
Issue of Tho Progressive Woman, as
foltows:
"To roaders who live along tho
Atlantic coast. It seems a long way
from Boston to Sail Francisco, and
the chunk of land up In the corn,
to the northward, known as Alaska,
appears to be but a step away. But
ouo can send a letter from Snn Fran
cIsco to Berlin Germany, and one to
Fairbanks, Alaska, on the same day
and get an answer back from Berlin
before one Is received from Fair
banks.
"Distances are docelvlng but not
more so than Is tho geographical lo
cation as regards the cllmato, pro
ducts and resources of Alaska. It
hardly seems credible to ono who h:s
always thought of this far-ofr north
country as the land of snow and Ice
bergs. that If Alaska were cut off
from the rost of the world, she has
within hor own borders, sufficient r?'
sources to feed her people.
"Tons of thousands of caribou roam
over her hills and vallovs. Tho
moose and bear are plentiful, while
the duck and tho curlew and tho

AVERTED A WRECK
Thrilling Railroad Experience on
Horseshoe Curve.
SAVED BY A WEIRD WARNING.
The Ra-narlobln Signal Light That
Summarily Stopped Two Trains That
Were Ruihing on to Certain Destruc
tion In a Head-on Colliron.
Once upon a time If any man had
(inked roe If two locomotives rushing
toward one another bead on and wltl
no human acetic; between could avoid
a collision I would bave replied. "Not
by auy earthly power." Since I bave
hud toy H!u_- at railroading us a Grand
Trunk bntVeiimii in Canada, however.
1 do not fee! so cocksure about linpos
Nihilities. 1 venture to say that any
man who pvssed through that affair at
Sandy curve, in western Ontario, find
ing himself .is suddenly rescued as be
was suddenly In peril, would not be
too glib In future regarding wbat can
and what cannot happen.
On one section of tny run lay what
was probably one of tbo most danger
ous curves on any railroad route In
America outside tbo Hocky mountains.
They culled It- by many namos? Sandy
curve, the Horseshoe, the Devil's ei
bow and tbo Switchback? but of all
descriptions uone fitted It bo well as
the Horseshoe, for the track formed
exactly that shape. In order to save
the cost of a tunnel tbe construction
engineer* bad taken the road around
the head of a mountainous cliff that
jutted out Into the lake and then back
100 yards to the mainland. Between
the points of the curve loomed an ugly
wall of granite 300 feet In height, a
barrier absolutely Impenetrable to
light and sound. The curved roadbeds
forming the two sides of this curious
piece of pioneer construction bad their
point of contact of course, at tbe too
of the shoe, beneatb which lay the
glistening waters of tbe lake. Tbe
Uorscsboo curve was notorious for a
long series of nasty accidents.
It was the 7th of November and mis
erably dark and foggy. Five miles
from the curve I was passing across
an open platform between two coaches
when t heard our whistle shrieking.
In the forest of spnices and those ugly
galleries of granite tlio sound echoed
and throbbed until It fell to a murmur.
At that moment It seemed to mo that
I caught tho blare of another wblstle.
a trifle louder than our last echo. A
shudder ran down my spine, and 1
leaned far out on tbo steps, but noth
ing cAild be seen, and tho sound was
not repeated. I mentioned tbo inci
dent to the conductor, but be only
laughed at me. That did not mako
mo forget the blast I had heard sifting
out of tho spruce trees, and I knew In
my heart that It did not come from
our locomotive.
To keep my mind off my fenrs I went
forward to the baggage car and chatted
with the "newsy." Then I fell asleep
on a bench.
"Crunch, click!" and then a Qnal se
ries of crunches.
I knew that meant the air brakes,
and jumped on to the limit In an In
stant I was up and. grabbing my lan
tern. tumbled through the door after
tbo news agent The long train was
swinging far out on the Horscshoo
curve. The lurching and grinding of
?Ka hrabo* wcj* like t.ho torture of a
kind of amall garden stuff grown
very luxuriantly. Blackberrloa and
raspberries grow profusely along the
southern coast, and through the In
terior, not very uiany miles from Ar
tic circle, are great strotches of blm
berries. One cannot speak of a
patch of bluoberrles nor oven'a field
of berries, for one may 'mush' (Al
iska language for 'walk') for hun
dreds of miles through tho Interior
and pick blueberries every step of
the way.
' "While on our way from Fairbanks
to Tanana, us we stopped at a tit
le village to get wood for the stoam
<t, ono of the men went ashoro and
pulled u few turnips from the gar
?l?;n nearby. They were so large that
1 was curious enough to moasuro ono'
ol them, and tho circumference was
25 Inches. My next thought was to
tusto It and see If It was pithy and
lough, but to my surprl3o I found It
remarkably sweet and tender. And
what Is true of the turnip la tho
samo of all other summer vegetab
les and garden stuff, so far as size
and flavor are concerned.
"Wild flowers grow In groat pro
fusion and variety, whllo many of
the cultivator kinds are most g^rge

berries have mastered that Arctic
climate, tnd after much caro garden

supply on the market. When they
are selling at Y5 cents a dozen, on

nnd train rrew wore coming forward
lu Rrvnr alarm. hut before wo could
reach the locomotive tho engineer
loomed out of. the dnrkners, his face
glowing wi:U a fearful excitement
"Did yon see?" he crle<l vaguely. nnd
I nevci ? '.v a railroad man moro over
come "Look yonder!"
Won II st d whore he pointed. Above
the dismal lakd. alxmt a hiindrei' yards
from shore. there hnng suspended a
hull of hrllllnnt, snow white Ore. as If
the moon had lost her bearings and
had tumbled toward tho earth. Wo
were deathly silent at the sight No
one volunteered an explanation.
"Don't yon understand?" yelled the
engineer. "Don't you people under
stand? There Is n train on tho oppo
site side of the Horseshoe, and It was
coming up to meet us nt twenty miles
un hour. We missed each other by on
net of (fod !"
Then I saw whnt he meant. That
strange hall of light suspended ont
there In tlir darkness was the focos of
the two headlights, and both engineers
had seen It In the nick of time.
We stood there like statues. I know
mv heart was heating' like n hammer,
nnd my comrades were pale faced and
open mouthed with wonder.
When we had In some measure re
covered ourselves we all marched for
ward to shake bands with the fellows
on the other train. An Inquiry? Of
