; he most encouraging news that lias been received for
manv a vear by the people of Alaska is contained in this
v ; |' s D ue. N 'filing has stimulated \ in* business inter
c- . ; i, T-.-nitory and infused new Mood into the veins
oj ii.< j;.,. ,’oitniii - tiiat the telegraphic information that
jha ■ o at Wilson had sent for the managers of the Alaska
railroad bill and given them to understand that the meas
ure must lae reported immediately to the senate, with the
committee’s recommendation, one way or the other. This
recommendation is to the effect that the bill do pass, and
usually the report of the committee upon any bill is fol
lowed. and carried into execution by the passage of tlie?
measure upon which they report favorably. 1 lie action of
the senate committee means much to the people of the
I'nitcd Stat-s. and is of far-reaching importance to Alas
kans. As a, matter of fact, nothing since the discovery of
the r Hi cold deposits in Alaska has been so significant as
the stand the Democratic administration has taken in re
gard to tin- opening up of this vast country. \\ e had heard
that the new President is favorable to the throwing- open of
the forest reserves and the coal lands, and while we were
He ri hire this --mtiment we receive the news that the Pres
ident i- not only desirous of having these things accom
plished, butactivcly insists upon railroad legislation during
a special session of congress.
Mr. Wilson is certainly doing things with a vengeance.
When tin* Dili wa- being nursed by the committee on terri
tories. perhaps with an intention of more or less delaying
ac'Dm upon it, here comes the t hief Executive and insists
up >n action. Has anything like it ever been heard before;
While Senator Pitman is pieparing a bill of Iris own, tin
President wants action upon the one now pending.
And action lie will undoubtedly have. Whether the 1 i:!
will pass or not can on tv be conjectured, bearing in mind
that as a general propositi n the committee reporting- upon
a measure reflecte. the sentiment of the majority.
What the result- of quick railroad construction will
mean to the Tenitory cannot be adequately described in
words. Already the Xavy department has promised to
make use of several hundred thousand tons of coal per year,
and is prepared to let a contract for several hundred thou
sand tons a year as soon as it can tie assured that

>ud thereby to opening up and development. The great
influx of people that will follow and settle along the line of
road, commence tiding of the soil, tlie raising of cattle to
supply both the local and <hitside market. Indeed, the
c >untry is at the eve of a general transformation—not a re
vival after having sunk into stagnation tor the past few
years on account of national neglect- -but a change so vast,
so great and far reaching in its effect that only future gen
erations will be able to properly describe ir. And the boom
that will come to those sections especially favored by loea
tion cannot at this writing lie estimated. Th * thousands ol
people that will hereafter make their homes in the i'eni
lory, feeling assured of a home, home eomlArt, and quick .
transportation from the Interior to tins ( cast in case of
need. The possibilities that are opening up b» fore our peo
ple ar° numberless, and he nvu-t. indeed, be slow who shall j
not see his chance to make the stake for which he has been !
longing for some time. The prospector and miner will be
benefited; the business man will no longer need to order his
stock twelve months ahead and pay heavy interest and
transportation charges: the agriculturist and Firmer will!
have access to the most fertile sections of the Territory, the |
whole world will be within easy reach of almost any portion ;
of the Territory, and the whole world will participate and j
profit by the change about to commence-—a change in com-I
parison to which that brought on by the great geld rushes
in the earlier days will stand as giant by a dwarf.
Delegate Wickevsham and many others declare that
under existing laws the resources of Alaska can be satisfac
torily developed, if an opportunity is only given the people
so to do. Former Secretary of the Interior Fisher insists
that such a tiling is imj ossible under existing laws. So
there you are. Take your choice. But we don t believe
many people in Alaska will side with Mr. Fisher. They
iost faith in him many months ago.— Cordova Alaskan.
SILVER THREADS
| U ^IIFK is fading fast away, silver threads are on my brow;
will you love me when I'm gray, as you love me now,
my frau ? Will you love me when I’m old, and my tem
per's on the blink, and I sit around and scold till I drive the
folks to drink? Whin I have the rheumatic, and lumbago and
repeat, and the eusswords fairly sizz as I nurse by swollen feet;
when a crutch I have to use, since my trilbys are so lame that
they will not fit my shoes, will you love me just the same ?
When the gout infests my toes, and all vanished arc my
charms, will you kiss me on the nose, will you clasp me in your
arms ? Silver threads are in the gold, life will soon have run
its lease; I’d be glad if I were told that your love will still in
crease when my high ambition fails, and my hopes are all un
strung, and I tell my tiresome tales of the days when I was
young; when I sit around the shack making loud and dismal
moan, of the stitches in my back, and my aching collar bone;
when the asthma racks my chest so I cannot speak a word, will
you fold me to your breast, saying I’m your honeybird '? When
I’m palsied, stiff and sere, when I’m weary of the game, lei!
me, O Jemima dear, will you love me just the same ?—Walt
Mason.
