WOODROW CREEK.
On a large scale map prepared by
the United States coast and geodetic
survey, which will be ready by the
end of May for the use of navigators
in Alaskan waters, providing a chart
of "Knik arm at the head of Cook
it is announced that the name
“Woodrow creek” will be substituted
for “Ship creek.” The waterway thus
newly designated will be a busy one
when the Alaskan engineering com
mission inaugurates the construction
of the government railroad from Sew
ard to Fairbanks, and it is in antici
pation of this event, in the coming
summer, that the chart has been pre
pared. On the shores of the creek
most of the railroad supplies will be
landed. i
Does “Woodrow creek” suggest too (
little honor for the personage after
whom the bit of water is named, or
too much honor for a remote creek?
Is the coast survey entirely happy in
its choice? Presumably Mr. Wilson’s
consent has been obtained. But doubt
will persist that on a referendum of
the people the new fame for Ship
creek would be enthusiastically ap
proved.
It is only his first name, to be sure
—“Wilson” may be in reserve for a
new metropolis to grow up in Alas
ka. “Josephus creek” would have
served very well for a beginning, if
the administration is to be memoral
ized by dotting the map of Alaska
with the names of its members. But
for the president, could not some to
pographical feature more impressive
than a creek be found?—Providence

Plans To Teach Cripples.
PARIS, May 19.—The war has
brought France a new profession, that
of teaching crippled soldiers how to
make up for the loss of limbs. Its
leading exponent, says the Petit Jour
nal, is Leon Coblence, of Abbeville,
who, fourteen years ago, lost his left
arm in a railway accident.
Having trained himself to do with
one arm what usually needs two—
play the piano, drive a car, etc.—M.
Coblence offered his services to the
Abbeville; hospital for the benefit of
i l lie cripples. The results were so sat
j isfactory that special schools for In
struction according to the Coblence
system will be opened throughout
France.
Italians Lost 600 Men.
TRIPOLI, May 19.—The losses of
the Italians, commanded by Colonel
Miami, who were attacked by a reb
el band south o* Syrta recently, and
were forced to retreat, owing to the
desertion of the irregulars to the reb
els, were eighteen officers and 200
men killed or missing.
Four hundred men wounfled In the
engagement have been placed on
board a steamer and sent to Syracuse,
Sicily.
Tripoli Under Martial Law.
PARIS, May 19.—A Rome dispatch
to the Havas Agency says that the
Italian cabinet today issued a decree
placing Tripoli under martial law ow
ing to the attack on Italian troops
by rebels near Syrta last week.
Ambassadors Ready To Quit.
ROME, May 19.—It is reported in
the newspapers this morning that
Ambassador von Buelow, represent
ing Germany, and Ambassador Mac
chio, representing the Austrian gov
ernment at the court of King Em
manuel, have demanded their pass
ports and that all efforts to effect a
peaceful settlement of the trouble be
tween Italy and Austria have been in
vain and the country must fight for
any of the spoils of war desired.
Buelow Tried Long for Peace.
Count von Buelow, former foreign
minister to Germany and married to
an Italian countess, was sent to this
city shortly after the war broke out
and has been striving by every means
to prevent Italy from joining the en
emies of Germany. He has made re
peated efforts to secure the aid of
Italy in an aggressive campaign
against France but failed because of
popular sentiment, which is strongly
for France and England and against
Austria. Little hostility has been
shown here against the Germans un
til the last few weeks.
The street committee have finish
ed the work of clearing the streets,
which are greatly improved as a re
sult of the raking.
The launch B. F. M. left Valdez this
morning for the Granite mine. John
DeHart, Mrs. DeHart and children
were passengers for Hobo bay, where
they expect to reside all summer.
