ALASKA RAILWAY.
Ono nf President Wilson's pedicles
which has become ? law is tho Alas
kan railway project. This is not Ken- |
orally understood in tho south and
some have resented If. Tho follow
ing: facts will give some light on the
<|iiestinn :
Tho debates In congress on thc
bill have developed the fact that until
recently Alaska has been unappre
ciated, as was the great northwest
country when acquisition hy the Uni
ted . States was considered. Bren
people who do business along the west .
coast of Alasku are said to be ignor
ant in great measure of Ita Interior.
Btit the coast, except for the fishing
industry ls of relatively little commer
cial importance. The discussions
have developed that In tho Interior
there are Immense agricultural re?
sources capable ofsustaln lng the pop
ulation of Sweden, Finland, Denmark,
Russia and Siberia. This has only
been known within the last few years.
AH a result of railroad construction
this fertile lund ls expected to be tak
?u up at once by hoards of homestead
ers, for Alaska has what are admitted
lo he good homestead laws.
. And as to coal deposits, Alaska ls
rich. It lips two notable coal fields
larger than any In the United States
or possibly In the world. The Beh
ring river field covers 75 square miles
and the Mutauucka held 85. They are
practically virgin, only one title hav
ing been perfected. The rest belong
to tho government and lt is the ex
pectation that this land will be open
ed. The government Is willing, and
transportation facilities are expected
to bring it shout. The railroad de- J
velopiiient wil open the coal lands and ,
the coal will, furnish tho power to op- i
erato thc railroads and bring about j
other development, tinder present con- j
dit ions it cost $-00 a ton now to ship \
mining machinery to points along the ,
Yukon river and SI a ton for each I
nillo tn transport lt Into thc Interior I
on jjleds and by other means.
The opening of mines In Alaska to- ,
gether with the building of a rail- ;
road and the opening of the Panama .<
Canal, lt is estimated will Hav?. the '
government from three to five dollars .
a ton on its coal burned In the Pact- ,
flo. Alaska Itself now buys coal <
front';british Columbia. One statlstl- 1
clan figures that Alaska has as much '
coal as Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia together and that it Is as good 1
!? quality. J
Senator Chamberlain, In meeting the \
opposition to the proposal that tlu (
government go Into the railroad busi
ness td the extent of $40.000,000, ad
mit t?>d that thin would bw the first
time the government had ever owned 1
a railroad but he argued that the sum ?
Involved was ?mull compared to what J
the government has spent tn giving .
aid to railroads, which he estimated ,
at nearly $400,0o0.000. ten times as
much, mostly In land grants. I

COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT
The laws of this slate, authorizing cities to adopt the
commission form of government make different provisions
for cities <ii different sizes. \s Ute city of Anderson had
fewer than 10,000 inhabitants in I'M o by the government
census, the provisions affecting towns of from 4,ooo to
10.coil'm habitants are the only ones that would apply to
this city, should it adopt the commission form of govern
ment. The various steps to he taken to put the matter be
fore the people in towns of this size are as follows:
1st. lt in a petition <?i registered electors qualified to
yote in such eil\ equal t?? 2S per cent, of the votes cast for
all candidates for mayor at the last preceding city election
petition therefor, the mavor is required to call a special elec
tion to he held not later than one month nor earlier than
mie week alter the petition is filed.
2nd. Thereupon a special registration of the qualified
electors is ordered.
?rd. li a maj?rih ol the votes cast are favorable to the
commission form of government, the mayor certifies this
lo the Secretary of State and calls a special election for a
mayor and two councilmen, this election to be held not later
than six weeks thereafter. The town is divided into wards
tor the election of these councilmen, but all of the electors
of the whole city vote for mayor and two councilmen. A
primarv election may Iv held two weeks before this general
election.
The mayor v iii receive a salary of .SI.ooo per year
and the councilmen S S no each. They are each elected for
a term of four years. A majority of this council of three is
necessary ami sufficient to pass any ordinance or take any
action. The executive and administrative powers and du
ties of the city shall be divided by council among three de
partments, each member to be superintendent of one de
partment. Council has the right to establish or abolish any
office or position they may deem necessary, and fix salaries
for the same. Council shall melt at least once a month,
and the meeting shall be open to the public.
Several un usai and important provisions apply to the
city government when conducted according, to this commis
sion plan. For instance, no franchise"'sfiail be granted to
any corporation for a public utility, unless approved by the
majority vote of the electors of the town voting at a special
election to he called for ?!i?? purpose.
Also no officer or employee of the city shall be inter
ested in any contract or job for work,or materials to be
furnished, or he performed for the city, or for any company
operating any municipal or public utility, such as streets
cars, gas, telephone, water, lights, etc. Heavy fines are pro
vided for violation of this section.
If 20 per cent, of the electors petition for an election
for such purpose, and a majority vote therefor, the mayor
or either councilman, or all. can be recalled and retired at
any time, and new officers elected in their stead at the
same election. Likewise, 20 per cent, of the electors may
propose any ordinance by petition, and ifcouncil does not
pass the same within two weeks, it must call an election on
the question, and a majority of the elextorkjnjlJLPut the or
dinance in force over the will of cotrrrcll. rFuiTrTermore, 20
pen cent, of the electors may suspencLanv ordinance already
in force, unless a majority of the ellqpfs vote in favor of
its standing, at a special election to "Ifield forjhfe purpose.
And finally, the pity may abandon tnra form cirgovernment
after six years of its operation in the^anjjp way it is adopted.

"The Stor^ with a Conscience

part of the Chautauqua influence ls
made effective through classes and
courses for home study. Bishop
Vincent jays: 'Chautauqua pleads for
uni vcr:;,, i education; for plans of read
ing and atuy; for all legitimate en
ticements and incitements to ambition;
for all necessary adaptations as to
time and topics; for idea associations,
which shall at once excite the imagin

which 'rains men and women every
