ALASKA RAILROAD PROPOSALS
Secretary Lane of the interior department predicts the opera
tion of an overland railroad line to the interior of Alaska within 10
years. This idea was stronly presented in a recent speech in con
gress by Representative Johnson of the Second Washington district,
wherein he showed that the authorities of British Columbia were in
tavor of it. A railroad line from Washington through British Columbia
into Alaska would do more for the development of Alaska, it is as
serted, than would a number of short lines running from sea coast
points into the interior. There should be a great overland line with
which the proposed short lines into the interior from the Alaska coast
would connect. Mr. Johnson introduced a resolution requesting the
President to negotiate a treaty with the British and Canadian govern
ments to establish railway connection between the United States and
Alaska. It appears that a treaty would be necessary to permit us to
transport troops across British Columbia. British Columbia looks with
favor upon the idea because it believes great benefits would result to
itself as well as to Alaska. The dream of a railroad along the Pacific
coast from Alaska to the southern part of South America will some day
come true.—Tacoma Ledger.
A JUDGE TO BE COMMENDED
At Everett, Wash., recently Judge Sheiler fined a prisoner the
limit because after he had been found guilty he passed the judge the
“high sign” of a large fraternal order of which both were members j
The judge, who was highly indignant, determined to show the !
prisoner that fraternal organizations are not to be used to cloak crime !
nor to aid criminals in evading the law. He severely condemned the !
practice, which, he claimed, was a common one. “Fraternal orders,” j
said the judge, “are to aid the sick anad unfortunate; to cultivate a :
fraternal spirit, not to cloak crime.”
In Seattle recently, when it was suggested that an efTt rt would be made to have
congress also include an appropriation for the building of roads in Alaska in connection
with the railroad bill. Delegate Wickersham is quoted as saying, “I Will light it from
start ot finish/’ Something kind of familiar in that expression. It would be almost a
shock to the people of Alaska if Wick ever declared “I will support tt from start to
finish/' He is stronger on fighting than supporting. But be gets away with the good
each time an election rolls around, which illustrates the saying that ‘‘some people like
to be folded all the time.” -Cordova -Maskan.
One of the oldest tricks of politicians is that of partially quoting
an opponent’s utterances and leaving an inference entirely contrary to
the speaker’s intention. By fair-minded men it has long been relegated
to the discard. Delegate Wickersham would certainly be expected by
his constituents to oppose the tacking on of amendments to the railroad
bill, and thus jeopardizing both propositions. Even political antag
onists can afford to be just.
The citizens of Fairbanks are up in arms against the proposal of
the collector of customs that that city be discontinued as a sub-port of
entry. Delegate Wickersham has been deluged with telegrams urging
him to action to prevent the threatened catastrophe. Sifted down, the
whole matter seems to be a tempest in a teapot. The step is recom
mended because there is no business, consequently no revenue, and is
urged to avoid useless expense. In the event that a foreign naviga
tion company desired to invade the Tanana with foreign-built vessels
it would be a simple matter to have Fairbanks made a sub-port again
The Lake Washington canal, upon which Uncle Sam and King
county, Washington, have spent millions of dollars, and which has
been held up to dazzle the eyes of speculators for the past twenty
years, is to be completed next year. I here are those who have won
dered what practical use the canal would be put to that would justify
the expenditure of so much money. The question has been satisfac
torily answered by a Seattle newspaper, which gravely announces that
the canal will be an ideal course for the 'varsity boat race.
The morbid spirit inherent in a large number of people has al
ways been a source of wonder. It has been recognized and catered
to by the showman and faker for centuries. And yet it is almost un
believable that such a spirit is general enough to justify the disinterment
of the bones of Columbus for exhibition at the San Francisco exposi
tion, for which arrangements have just been made.
The Cordova Alaskan of November 3 prints an editorial putting
forth the candidacy of Falcon Joslin, the Fairbanks railroad man, for
the Democratic nomination for delegate to congress to succeed Judge
Wickersham. The Fairbanks News-Miner reprints the article and ed:
torially eulogizes Mr. Joslin, but hopes that he will not allow himself

to be nominated for the position, on the ground that he could not be
elected, adding, “so what’s the use of sacrificing our best material.”
A Fairbanks newspaper complains that the merchants of that
city have cut prices on necessities to a no-profit basis, and in con e
quence have been compelled to abolish the credit system. It says
that the men responsible for the deplorable state of affairs have “re
duced this camp to a pawnshop basis and removed every gamble or
chance-taking element from it, greatly to the detriment of developmen'
in the future.” Pessim sm will always find some outlet.
____l
A Century Ago
One hundred years ago, 1813, was a quiet
year, comparatively, as to wars anti rumors
of wars, and, as would be right and proper,
a great year in its cron of births.
Great Britain proclaimed the entire At
lantic coast, except some of New England,
as under b.ockade; and congress put an
embargo on ail exports. Between the two
American shipping should have been put
out of business, but it appears not to have
been.
The long-famous Albany Argus was estab
lished, as was also Boston’s first successful
'aily, the Daily Advertiser.
The great names of birth record that year
covered as wide a range of human activity
and reached as hi6h a level of eminence as
ccuU! wel. be found in any one year. Henry
Ward Beecher, James D. Dana. Stephen A.
Doutlas, John C. Fremont, Frank Hamilton.
Jenson J. Lossing, David D. Porter and Al
len G. Thurman—these are certainly name
vith which to conjure.
Henry Ward Beecher
may not have been America's greatest
preacher, although most people will give
him that place, as is well attested by the
‘act that his name (and the omy preacher
if the loti stands well up in the list of
America’s Hall of Fame. But great he cer
ainly was, famous, and, for a short time,
notorious as well.
He was born June 24, 1813, at Litch
field, Conn., graduated at Amherst college,
Mass., in 1834, studied theology under his
father, Lyman Beecher, at Lane Theological
eminary, near Cincinnati, and started in
he pastorate by two years in the little
town of Lawrenceburg. Ind. And Lawrence
> rg in time became famous—and did not
like it—because of being set out with little
r no disguise in Mrs. Harriet Beecher
•Stowe's “From Dawn to Daylight,” an ac
count of her brother's struggle upwards in
those first years.
Mr. Beecher served eight years in Indian
apolis, and acquired his reputation for ora
tory, which was afterwards heard through
out hte United States and England, and
tirred the whole world in behalf of free
dom for the Southern slaves. During the
Kansas “free-soii" agitation he openly coun
seled meeting force with force, and at the
beginning of the civil war his church
(Plymouth) raised and equipped a full regi
ment for service.
He was the first pastor of the Plymouth
(Congregationalist) church, in Brooklyn,
and preached there from 1847 till the time
of his death in 1887. Besides being a great
preacher, he was highly successful as a lec
turer, editor (the Christian Union) and
writer upon many subjects, from fiction to
sermons.
In 1875 Theodore Tilton preferred the
charge of adultery against him, the net re
sult of two trials being the acquittal of the
famous divine, the addition to the current
slang of the term “nest-hiding,” and to
smutty literature of a good though unprint
able pun.
One of the ridiculosities of literature crops
up in his “Norwood,” a story where a sol
dier with both arms shot off reaches up
from his cot to embrace his sweetheart,
who has come to the war hospital to see
him.
At the time of Bryan’s much-heralded, j
lauded, and also criticized, "crown-of- j
thorns'’ speech it was shown that Beecher j
; 25 years before had in a sermon said: “Aye. j
I they crucified the Gali.ean and pressed the j
j crown of thorns, not only upon His brow, j
i but upon the bleeding foreheads of the ,
I poor.” The phrase has never been clearly 1
I traced back of Beecher, though he dis
I claimed any originality in it.
James Dwight Dana
was born in Utica, N. V., graduated at Yale
j in 1833, and was sent out in 1838 in the
! United States expedition visiting the Ant -
! arctic and the Pacific. When only 24 he
; wrote a system of mineralogy, and was the
j author of various authoritative works on
1 .oology and mineralogy. In 184G he be
1 came professor of natural historv in Yale 1
I ’
i co lege, and his labors gained him world
i wide distinction, and many institutes and
‘ colleges honored themselves in honoring him
with degrees, etc. He was at one time as
i sociated with his father-in-law, the elder
| Sdliman. in the conduct of the American
! Journal cf Science. He died in 1804.
Stephen Arnold Douglas,
• "the Little Giant,” was born in Brandon,
| Vt., but is known only by his life in Illi
nois, where he practiced law, was attorney
| eneral of the state, member of the legis
lature, secretary of state and judge of the
I supreme court. He was a member of con
! gress from 1843 to 1846, and in the senate
I from 1847 to 1S38. He was of a pugna
| cious temperament, and in the lower house
was for the annexation of Texas, raised the
cry of ‘‘Forty-four-forty or fight,” for the
territory ot Oregon, and in the upper house
opposed the ratification of the Clayton Bul
wer treaty with England, and wanted to
take Cuba. While he strongly favored each
state settling the slavery question for its
own territory, he as strongly supported Lin
coln alter the fight was on. In 1860 he
received the regular Democratic nomina
tion for the presidency, the bolters nomi
nating Breckenridge. While his popular
vote was about two-thirds that of Lincoln,
the latter had 180 votes of the electoral col
lege to his 12. He died at Chicago at the
early age of 48, and that city has a most
imposing statue of him.
John Charles Fremont
was born in Savannah, Ga., of a French
father and a Virginian mother, and bis
name is properly spoken, as his French ori
gin would indicate, “Fraymont.” When 22
years of age he was a professor of math
ematics in the navy, but soon turned to
engineering, and was employed under the
topographical corps, in which he was com
missioned in 1838. In 1842 he explored the
South pass of the Rocky mountains, and
demonstrated the feasibility of the “over
land route.” Fremont peak, named for him,
is the highest point of the Wind River
mountains. Between 1S42 and 1S48 he
crossed the continent no less than four
times, each time finding a new way over
and earning for himself the title of “Path
finder.”
During the Mexican war he did good
service, but unfortunately got tangled up in
a dispute with two of his superiors and was
dismissed the service, a penalty which the
President remitted, but Fremont insisted
upon resigning. Settling in California in
1847, he became a senator front that state,
and waa decorated and bemedalcd by both
Germany and England. Buchanan defeated
him for the presidency, and in 1864 he with
drew in favor of Lincoln, after getting a
nomination. In the civil war he was given
a commission as major general, but resigned
in 1862 rather than serve under Pope. His
death came in 1890, too early for him to
see his son, a captain, do good service in the
' Spanish American war.
Frank Hastings Hamilton,
born in 1813, and died in 1886, was another
son of Vermont, the town of his natvity
being Wilmington. At 17 he was graduated
from Union college, and at 24 was a full
hedged M. D. from the University of Penn
sylvania, and from then on held various im
portant places in the medical world of sci
ence. He is probably best known by his
connection with the Be.levue Hospital col
lege of New York city, an ad his attendance
upon Garfield after he had been struck by
the assassin’s bullet. For his time he was a
highly skilled operative surgeon, but his
fame rests mostly upon his medical works,
of which he is the author of some half
a dozen, all standard authorities to this day.
Benson John Lossing
was a great American pioneer in pioneer
American history, whose life extended from
1813 to 1891. He was a native of Beek
man, N. Y., and was editor, wood engraver,
il.ustrator and historian. Traveling over the
states for two years, he produced as a result
th e"Pictorial Guide Book of the Revolu
tion,” which was very successful. Later on
he covered the war of 1812, aand also the
civil war in the same manner, but neither
came up to his first effort, doubtless be
cause the civil war was too close and that
of 1812 too insignificant. lie touched his
tory at many points, and was strong in biog
raphy. in which departments he wrote many
lives, sing’e and in series.
David Dixon Porter
was the second American admiral, succeed
;ng Farrugut in 1870, having been a rear
admiral since 1S66. In company with Far
ragut and Dewey, he enjoys the distinctr
aving been one of three who have he
hat title, all the others who may have be.
idled admiral' having the prefix “rear” <
.ice” to their title.
He was born in Chester, Penn., in 181
aid died in 1891. He was only 16 whe:
he joined the navy, and had reached th
j rank of lieutenant by his 28th birthda)
lief ore the civil war his service had extend
ed from California to the Mediterranean,
and at the time of that outbreak he was a
commander. In command of the mortar
ilotilla, under Farragut, he successfully
bombarded New Orleans (1862), in indepen
dent command of the Mississippi squadron
he assisted in the fall of Vicksburg (1863),
i and in the last year of the war bombarded
! and silenced Fort Fisher.
For five years after the close of the war
he was superintendent of the naval acad
emy at Annapolis, and was only taken from
that because his new' rank was too high for
the position.
He had considerable literary ability, and
was the author of three romances, a volume
of tales of the vivil war, and a “History of
the Navy in the War of the Rebellion.”
Allen Granbery Thurman,
'he last of our list of the great Americans
born in 1813, passed away in 1S95. His life
connection is with the state of Ohio, though
he was born in Lynchburg, Ya. From be
ginning to the end a politician, he was first
a representative in congress, then an asso
ciate justice of the supreme court, its chief
justice, a defeated candidate for the gov
ernorship of Ohio, United States senator,
ami the acknowledged leader of the Demo
cratic party.
He was a member of the famous, notori
J ous or infamous (just as you happen to
lock at it) electoral commission of 1877, and
in 1SS1 went to Paris as one of the Ameri
can delegates to the monetary conference.
Three times he tried to be nominated for
president, and in 1888 ran with Grover
Cleveland as the vice presidnetial candidate,
and, with his chief, went down to defeat.
It was in this campaign that he became
known as the “Gladiator," or “Old Roman,"
and noticeable for his use of a red bandana
handkerchief, used, as his maligners said, to
cover the fact that the “Gladiator,” like
many another great man of his day and
age, took an occasional pinch of snuff.
