AERIAL SCHEME
\
Just now, when the rivers nre swol
len and filled with running Ice, the
question of crossing them with teams
and heavy rigs is of more than pass
ing interest. One or two aerial trans
fers have been provided In the terri
tory, but there may be room for im
provement. A scheme that would be
practicable in Alaska as well ns else
where Is in use in New Mexico, and
comprises a movable platform or ferry
on the trolley scheme. Two cables
nre used, from which the ferry Is
suspended. Heavy rigs drive on and
off the platform with ease. The Min
ing Press gives an illustration of the
scheme, and refers to it as follows:
‘‘The mining district of Mogollon,
New Mexico, has obtained a perma
nent highway outlet to Silver City and
other points by means of a novel aer
ial ferry which was recently construc
ted across the C.ila river at Oils This
overhead tram is of the wire cable
type of construction, and is operated
by a small power plant. It is 90 miles
from Mogollon to Silver City, and at
certain periods of the year, before the
aerial ferry was built, the line of com
munication was frequently interrupt
ed for days by floods in the Glia river,
which made fording of that stream
impossible. It occurred to Thomas
Lyons, who owns a farm near the
treacherous crossing, that it would be
a feasible plan to build a cableway a
cross the river, by means of which
mine motor trucks and other vehicles
could cross at all times. The plat
form, which is suspended from the ca
bles, easily transports loads of as
much as 16,000 pounds across the
stream. The establishment of this
crossing is of great benefit to the min
ing industry of the Mogollon district.”
Such a scheme as the foregoing, if
found adaptable, would obviate to a
great extent te delays occasioned in
ferrying over the running ice or
through the swift current of streams
in the fall and spring, and thus
facilitate mnil, passenger and other
traffic, and the devices probably could
be used in summer, if desired, instead
of the river ferries. On swift and
dangerous streams, such as the Nl
zina, the installation of such a ferry
might be of great advantage the year
round, and possibly prove more eco
nomical than bridge building.

BERING SEA CASE
HAS BEEN DECIDED
In the case of the United States vs.
the Bering Sea Commercial company,
the Juneau land office is in receipt of
a decision from the secretary of the
interior, holding that the reservation
of one-quarter of a mile In extent
from the shore lines of navigable wa
ters in Alaska are created only by
homestead locations and the flHng of
soldiers' additional homestead sur
veys and trade and manufacturing site
locations.
This decision restricts the applica
lion clause of the land laws of Alas
ka to the three classes of claims men
tioned.
In 1913 the department held that
mission sites, Indian claims, mining
claims, townsite claims, and in facl
any kind of appropriation of public
domain along shore linos, must ob
serve reservations formerly create*
by such locations. Subsequently thh
rule was modified to exclude mining
claims from its operation.
Now the department holds that onl]
claims asserted under the act o
March .i, 1903, create the reservation

THE HAGUE. May 27—The hard
ships of the mobilization of the Dutch
army have fallen hard upon the Dutch j

by the government, and paid 8 cents
a day pocketmoney to boot. Besides

is excellent for their health.
With the women it is another story.
A farmer's wife may have small chil
dren to care for; she still must do the
spring plowing. And she has done
it. The shopkeepers wives must
keep their shops. When ippli'-Uion

the militia receives a guilder a day—
forty cents—but with eves .his offic

LONDON, May 27—Sir Douglas
llaig, who lias won high praise in Sir
John French’s dispatches, was scarce-1
ly known in England at the beginning
of tlie war, outside of the army. He
first came into public notice at the^
battle of Aisne, where his conduct
was described by his superior as1
“bold. skillful and decisive." At
Ypres his reputation was further en
hanced, and now his work at Neuve^
(’hapelle has made him a national he
ro.
Sir Douglas Haig began his prac
tical military education with Sir John
French. He was chief of staff to

series of minor operations that pre
pared the war for Lord Roberts’ ad

Besides his Boer war experience Sir

dia and been director of military train-j
ing at the war office. In the recentI
summer maneuvers, he has always
commanded one of the armies.
Sir Douglas is a Scott, and a mem
