Anchorage keeps harping on a change of the judicial
seat of government in this division, claiming that the di>
ti'ict court sessions held in \ aldez cause a great incouxen
ience to that town on Look Inlet. Suppose a session xxas
held in the winter and Anchorage was the only seat? \\ ho
would be inconvenienced by the long hike over the trail
and back again? Surely Anchorage should admit that
there are others in this division, others who haxe been
here longer and who will remain longer as commercial cen
ters. Anchorage is now booming but when the bubble is
pricked, Anchorage will he a siding on the main line.
What has l»ecome of the old-fash oned but periectly
eatable dish—pork and beans. (Io into the restaurants
nowadays and watch the average orders—steaks, roasts,
chops or "ham and." Few orders are ever given for "pork
and" or "-Spokane." One thing perhaps is that beans have
taken their place among the luxuries. Beans are beans
now, if you will consult your family grocer.
The information that the electric lights will probab
ly he turned on soon after the first of next month is cheer
%
ful news. Living in this progressive age. it is a hard
shock when one is forced to go back to what might be call
ed the primitive and forego the modern conveniences. But
we xvill all appreciate the convenience of electric lights
when thev are again turned on.
Great Britain should not place too much implicit trust
in the report that one-half of the German air fleet has
been destroyed, it was not so verv long ago that it was
announced that Zeppelins had failed in their mission as
air raiders. But they came hack strong. Great Britain
has never mastered the air situation and should be con
stantly on the guard, for Germany is ready to make more
raids and will make them.
SCENIC SPLENDOR IN ALASKA
In a day's ride recently along the U. S. railroad out
of Seward, Alaska, toward Anchhorage, tourists saw:
A brown bear browsing in the alders.
Two mountain sheep high on a rocky buttress.
A lynx, watching a pair of bald eagles circling over
head.
Half a dozen, queer, waddling porcupines.
Magnificent, foot-long trout being caught in Kenai
Lake.
They do what no
other cigarette
ever did before;
they satisfy—and
yet they’re MILD.

— t vans in Baltimore American.
Great horned owls calling in the dark.
Mountains unsurpassed in grandeur by any peaks in
the United States.
And glaciers, active, turquoise blue at their top, that
can be approached to within a few feet by five minutes
walk from the right-of-way.
As a scenic route the Seward-Anehorage section of
the Government railroad, now being driven Northwaid
J .000 miles to Fairbanks, is not surpassed by any road in
America.
It goes through a sportsman s and camper s paradise,
with moose, bear, deer, sheep, goats and lesser animals
ranging the spruce fiats, the river beds, the wild plateaus
and the solitudes of the Kenai Alps in profusion.
Glacial streams, milky white, brawl beside the track,
along still valleys studded with wild flowers and lush
grasses, and through fearsome box canyons across which
the tracks trestle.
Kenai and the Trail lakes, on which summer cottages,
camps and resorts are now springing up, are destined to
be as famed as Tahoe and Crater lakes, about which tour
ists have raved for years.
These beauties and sportsmen’s lures are going to he
a decided asset to the U. S. railroad, and are undoubtedly
destined to attract a heavy tourist traffic to the govern
ment road as soon as completed—(Brooklyn Eagle.)
