writer in the Review of Rev iews says that on the first Sunday in De
! cember, according to custom, the peaceful little Centra! American re
public of Costa Rica held its presidential election. A plurality of the
ballots '.v< .v cast for the so-called Republican cand date, Don Maximo
■ Fernandez. In order to be validly elected, a candidate for the Costa
, Rican presidency must receive a mni -nty vote; otherwise the choice
will aw.lit the meeting of the legislature the following May, when it
will he decided by that body. !t is quite typical of the peaceful, iaw
a! whig and good-natured charac ter of p e Cosia Rican people that

PRESIDENT WILSON IS
SUPREME IN ROAD-BUILDING
Washington, March 2. One of these
j days something entirely anomalous in the
I history of the United States is going to
j occur when the sum of $00,000,000 will foe
j placed in the hands of President Wilson
| and he will be told to spend ii.
I The (iily limitation on this enormous
I grant of authority wdl be that he shall
| spend it in building railroads in Alaska. No
(•.ommi:.don wa-< ever accompanied with a
| wider rang • of carte blanche powers There
1 is no time Omit fixed within which tin
money shall be sp- nt. There is not a syl
lal '.c of instructions as to how ho shall go
about the task. He is to handle the 1 fo
in any way he sees lit. lie is to employ
whomever he sr os fit to employ. lie «-an
designate the snlarie that are to for* i<
reived and the percentages of profits on
vari.ii:.- phases of the construction work
lie can employ an army of men or only a
1 attain n.
William II Seward paid $7,200,000 for
Ala*kc, and was criticizsd from the Atl »tic
to the Pacific on the ore of recklc
tru\ ?gance. President Wilson i., or will k-c,
cheerfully voted $25,000,000, or nearly six
'times >7,000.000, f,,r the siii'd • purpmr of
milling a railroad in that territory.
Way Organize Force Soon

y Pr< (lent V,: 1 on i into whose hand: he
will commit the management of ibis r. ■ it
construct• n woik. 'i he task of organizing
the force may be expected to begin within
a f. w weeks.
Pre-o. n: Wilson can intrust the work to
any department of y >vernment that he may
lect, or he can organize a force entirely
iiiocpciuient of any depart m< nt of govern
ment. The Panama canal ha.'. I-on bud;

per tu Id. about 1^0 miles, competing with1
the Cooper River & Northwestern, the
Guggenheim road.
4. Iron: Controller bay to the Bering!
river coal field, about eight miles.
The-c four lines of railway would make I
a total of 7f*0 miles, or 240 miles less than |
the President is authorized to build. The |
total estimated cost is 830,400,000, or
84,G00.000 less than the appropriation voted
by congress. The balance left over, if there
should be any, will revert to the federal
treasury.
Expect to Get Men in Northwest
Where shall the force of workingmen be;
recruited for this Alaskan construction
work? This is another problem that has
to be considered. Without going into the
matter thoroughly, it is the belief of ad
ministration officials that enough men can
be obtained at Seattle, Tacoma, Portland ,
and San Francisco to do the work. Roughly
'•peaking, it is believed that 2,000 laboring
men will be sufficient. Over them, of
course, will be the force of engineers and
ffiTi managers, which has not been esti
mated numerically. It probably will not
in the policy of the President to take Alas
kans for any part of this work, as they are
:ieeded in the various occupations in the
erritory.
From all of the towns of Alaska wire
elicitations are coming to Delegate Wick
Tsham on account of the overwhelming
najority which the bill commanded in the 1
enate and prospect of its early passage (
>y the house. . I
“Ihe effect is electrical and immediate,” !
said Mr. Wickcrsham. ‘ The people of
Alaska already have regained their courage.
Many of them, thoroughly disheartened,
were preparing to abandon the country. It
is easy to demonstrate what a railroad
means to that territory. At Juneau, for
instance, quartz containing SI..TO per ton
of gold is worked at a profit of 00 cents
a ton, but in the interior quartz running
as high as SIS to 20 per ton cannot be
worked at ail bee.-use the freight rate** of
SI20 to Si.TO per ton are, of course, pro
hibitive. When the new railways are built
Alaska will blossom as a rose.”
It b < ’minted that Uncle Sam’s la •; of
building railroads in Alaska will be
[deled in about two years.
A SKETCH OF HUERTA
A iff (••>-respondent of the I.- mi ;.
Tin.'--- who has been in Mexico for a m.m
r o. months recently described Huerta
as Mexico City sea him today, as it has
sen him in the pa-t. Huerta is a full
blooded M* .\!eau Indian, and proud < f in.
birth. Unlike ( Id Porfirio Diaz, his blood
has not that foreign mixture which sup
lie- strength of character. Huerta’.- is the
climbing of the aborigine. That lie was
ambitious in his youih evi« 1 -nt. He
ally learned to read and write, and ns a

M’MiNG COAL IN THE ARCTIC
As. a slight contra.--: t.» conditions pre
sented in Ala.- \U. a New England news
pap.or recall* that a comp.any of New
]• ngland capitalists ha> opened a n t
• •f coal mines on the island of Spitsbergen,
well within the Arctic circle, and when
winter conditions are far more severe than
in any of the settled parts of Alaska. These
capitalists, not having their activities con
trolled by a benevolent government - k
ing to protect the people, have been en
abled to make a large profit for their prod
uct, in Norway, selling coal at SI.50 a ton
less than the former market price in that
market and making a handsome profit be- j
sides.
Spitzbergen is nearer the pole than any j
other place where commercialized industry j
is carried on. It has no government and
no governmental representatives. No nolit- j
ical conservationists have yet procured the :
adoption of any policy through which its
resources shall be sealed up beyond possi
bility of use.
The wicked, designing capitalist has
therefore shamelessly exploited those re- j
sources and made them useful to the pres- j
ent generation. The carefully guarded oeo-j
pie of Alaska, whom the government has
been protecting against all malefactors of!
the class, walk over good coal measures,1
reser\
they need to keep from freezing or to op-,
-rate machinery from Australia or Can
ada, paying therefor twice the price that |
[he Norwegian has to pay for coal mined;

her north than the northernmost shore of!
