RAILROADS
Major Richardson, m president of tBe
Alaska Road Commission, In print
ing the annual report of the com
mission for last year has this to say
concerning the railroad building of
which so much baa been made:
Touching upon the subject of rati
roads in last year's report, I stated, re
ferring to the various enterprises under
way or projected at that time, tbat
"none of these routes named g>ea
promise, in my opinion, of beoomlng
?ny time in the near tuture what Alas
ka needs in the way of a trunk line
or developer of the territory." Thl?
view has been more than confirmed by
the progress of events since that time,
especially in regard to the proposed
routes from VaJUez, Cordova or Orca,
awl Katalla. In these localities the
situation has been marked by vacillat
ing policies, with many conflicting
interests and legal complications, ac
companied by more or less rioting and
some bloodshed, and with very little
railroad building.
To all of which all Alaaka agrees?
that is to say. in the matter of vacillat
ing policies and conflicting interests.
Alaska has little hope from any privkte
corporation of ever securing a railroad
such as will answer In any larg? way
the need in opening up the country.
It is a hope we have that the govern
ment will aee Its way clear to back an
enterprise as It saw lta way lo the
Philippines Continuing the report
says:
1 have no recent reports from the
Alaska Central Road, but understand
that work has continued m a reduced
w*y, and that the pro*peota of the road
are more encouraging. The Taaaoa
Valley Railroad, Fairbanks, has added
20 mHea to Its Hoe, making a total
mileage of 40 miles, all well looated for
the supply of the mining camps. The
Seward Peninsula Railroad, Nome,
has made important extensions of its
line to the eastward and westward,
along what is known as tho third beach
line, where the moet active mining
operations are in progress Tho ex
tension of this road and of the Tanana
Valley road have in a general way
joined well with the road commission
work, the two constructions supple
menting each other.
TO ASK WASHIN6T0N FOB BELIEF.
The action of the mass meeting Satur
day night was io line with the business
in band. The meeting of citizens
realized that the real fault in tbe
matter of the mail service lay in the
contract drawn up by the postal au
thorities whereby the stejmship com
panies are permitted to suit themselves
as to the Intervals between the laying
down here of the mails. The contracts
provided only that thev laud tho mall
here twice a month. Of course the in
tent of the government is clear. With
the three companies landing mail here
twice a month one could hardly conceive
that we should have to put up with three
msils a month. But the loose provis
ions of tbe coatraot has resulted lo just
that.
So the mass meeting addressed itself
to the postal authorities rather than
tbe steamship companies and asked that
an amendment of the contracts? which
run for more than two years yet? be
made if possible, or, if no: impossi
ble, then to make a new contract with
the same or other companies.
Tne action of the mass meeting is
oonflrmed by the Chimbsr of Com
merce and through this baly all south.

US PENHSYLVANI* SEES IT.
The Philadelphia Enquirer, in a
double-column triple-leaded editoral,
propounds the question "whoiB the man
for president?" It wants Roosevelt poli
cies carried out in the Roosevelt way. It
passes the candidates In review. If the
country were in need of a great cross
examiner in the whitebouse the En
quirer would chooso Mr. Hughes; if a
man who could preside at social func
tions with dignity, Mr. Fairbanks; if
the Philippines or Cuba constituted the
main question to be dealt with, Mr.
Taft; If a merely lovable cbaraoter and
the question of age be not allowed to
enter into It, uncle Joe Cannon. But
for the Roosevelt policies carried out In
the Roosevelt way the Enquirer
answers that Philander C. Knox, of
Pittsburg, Is the only^ one. Well,
mebbe? not.
COURAGE
There la a courage, a mnjestlo thing?
That springs forth from tbe brow of
pain full grown,
Uinorva like; and dares all danger*
known,
And all the threatening future yet may
bring?
Crowned with the helmet of great
suffering,
Serene with that grand strength by
martys shown,
When at the stake they die and make
no moan,
And even as the dames leap up are
heard to slog?
A courage so sublime and unafraid
It wears its sorrows liko a coat of mail.
And Fate, the archer, passes by dis
mayed,
Knowing bis best barbed arrows needs
must fail
To pierce a soul so armorod and array
ed
That Death itself might look on It and
quail.

Had Tried Eleotrioity.
A benevolent gentleman attempted
to converse with the motherly old lady
who sat next to him. In the railway
carriage. He discovered that she was
very deaf, and the conversation wns
established by shouting.
"You are very deaf, aren't you, mad
am?" ultimately bellowed he of the
benevolence.
"I am bo," was the reply, "and
haven't been able to do a thing for It"
"Have you over tried electricity?"
shouted the kind hearted man.
"Yes," she said, nodding vigorously,

I am a chef for a large cafd on Broadway,

"J used the Cuticura Remedies with

I 6aw a great change for tho better,
