HOW ALASKA SYNDICATE .
HAS FULFILLED PROMISE
The remarkable success attending
the operations of the Copper River &
Northwestern Ry.‘ in Alaska and the
fact that property, as well as various j
other Interests of the Alaska. Syndi-!
cate has fulfilled every promise and
expectation of the last eight or nine]
years, is a matter of felicitation, the
road has not 'dftiy successfully Vhef;
and combatted such assault, bu: the
peculiar geographical and climatic
conumons of that Section at the ter
ritory, serious handicaps as they are
to railroad operation, have by effi
ciency and skill likewise been' Suc
cessfully met and overcome and to
day the railroad has the unique dis-,
tinction of being operated with finan
cial success' and hauls the most valu
able tonnage of high grade ebijper zhe
world has ever known. • It is a story
of fulfillment as well as achievement.
Locally , the people of Seattle have
reason for taking a double interest
in the hew order of things as here
are the hew headquarters of the oin
panyand here are purchased all tje
supplies tor the road, amounting in
the pkst to many millions of dollars.
Congratulations to1 those respons'ble
for this happy endlUg are1 therefore
quite general and most sincere.— Ma

Null? YARDS
BE IMPROVED
Five Million Dollars Appropriated to
Improve Channel and Enlarge
Drydock at Mare Island.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The
Senate yesterday afternoon passed
the measure appropriating five mil
lion dollars to improve the entrance
to the Mare Island navy yard and to
increase the drydock there. The bill
also provided for one hundred thou
sand dollars to be spent on the New
York navy yard.
The Senate committee on naval af
fairs had passed the appropriation
measure back to the senate with the
recommendation that the bill be fav
orably acted upon as expert testimony
taken during the hearings of the
committee had shown that the Cali
fornia navy yard was almost useless
to the navy as the larger battleships
could not enter the drydock.

The cruiser Roon is believed to
have accompanied the commerce
raider which seised the British liner
Appam off the coast of Africa after
destroying seven other vessels. ,
