It is quite possible that within three months we may know ail about the
Alaska government railroad. The report will he ready in January according
to the latest accounts and the very moment the report reaches the president
we may be told just exactly what we are to expect.
It was staled several months ago that President Wilson bad already
decided where the ocean terminal of the road will In*, hut of course, there may
ht‘ something contained in the report of the engineers which might alter his
plans. If, however, the report contains nothing that would tend to-make him
change his mind we may know what we are all waiting to know before
Easter.
The destruction of merchant vessels in time of war seems to be an
unnecessary proceeding. Even the destruction ot warships can hardly havt any
result unless one nation could destroy enough of the enemy s ships to crip
ple them effectively. The chief re-ults of the lighting will come on land. W hen
ore arm' over-runs the country of the enemy it can go pretty near dictat
ing terms and the sinking of a few ships more or less can have no determin
ate influence. But still the destruction of shipping property goes on and the
world will be a long time getting over the effects even after the war is ended.
A lot of people seem to think that the chief purpose in building the
government railroad is to get to the interior as quickly as possible. Most of
us have had it fixed in our minds that the president's purpose is to build a
railroad into the Yukon river by the shortest route possible and let everything
else slide.
W’e have often heard people say that such and such a route is the short
est and therefore the most desirable. They have stated sometimes that by
building a railroad from the joke called Portage Bay they could cut off a
certain number of miles. I ut off a certain number of miles to what?
Poes anyone think for a minute that the I nited States government has
just fixed on some certain point in the interior to which the road will be
built whether it is worth building to or not?
On the success of the railroad will depend to a great extent the light in
which President Wilson will he viewed in the years to come. If that railroad
pays from the beginning and if it opens up a country to development it will
have fulfilled the ambitions of those who created it. It it fails to accomplish
this it will he an injury to their reputations.
We may take it for granted that the railroad will he built first where
it is most needed and where it will do the most good even it it never goes to
the interior at all. It is safe to say that the tirst consideration will he the
opening of the coal fields and the next will he the opening of good mining
territory.
Without in the least trying to detract from the greatness of interior ,
Alaska it can he said that the coast at present seems to offer the best field for
permanent exploitation. In an ugricul tural way this part of the territory
excels easily the place more remote and we may take it that President Wilson
and his advisors will first take into acount the districts which promise most
for the success of the line.
The principal thing to remember is that the railroad is not intended to
just run in a bee line for some place far off. If that were the intention the
road would be nothing better than a gamble. But what the road is intended
for is to open country that possesses resources of a permanent nature.
• Somehow wt* have come to look upon the road as a great, long line run
ning through the heart of \laska no matter what sort of a country might
surround it. One of these day s we shall probably find out that the government
railroad will be a regular system opening not one but many districts, and
those the best districts. When it comes to judging the relative worth of
the different districts Kenai Peninsula can hold its head high.

(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, Nov. 30.—Parisians are be
I coming stolid under the trials of war.
Bomb-throwing aeroplanes have been
| unable to disturb them, and the long
campaign in the north has not ex
hausted their patience. They arc glad
if the Allies gain but a mile a day,
and seem satisfied even if no ground
has been lost.
Instead of the expected efferve
scence of impressionable people
threatened by such a redoubtable as
sailant as the German army, complete
tranquillity prevails. There seems to
be entire confidence in one man—Jof
fro—and it is a striking exemplificat
ion of the force of character of the
man that he has made map students
of people who were pre-eminently
hero worshippers.
Appealing in no way to romantic
fancy, he takes himself entirely o\it of
the category of the popular idol. The
sale of postcards which is taken in
France as a sure barometer of popul
arity, show that while most people
want the photograph of this great
general in their collections, he is out-,
run in order by King Albert, the Bel
gian soldier. General 1* reneh, “ lommy

Now and then, we hear people say that
they can get along without a typewriter.
Yes, we believe that. Only forty years
ago everybody got along without one.
So they did, a little further back, without the steam
engine and the railroad train. They got along
without them because there were none.
Anyone today who thinks he can get along with
out the typewriter because he can do his writing
with the pen, is like the man who thinks he doesn't
need the railroad because he can walk. In your
method of writing you may be “walking" today.
If so, then remember that the railroad is built and —

It is the New
Remington JUNIOR
J Typewriter
We have built the Remington Junior on purpose
for those who have writing to do and need
a typewriter but who haven’t bought one—yet.
We have built it for
the traveler and for
the home; for the
doctor, the clergy
man, the farmer, the
retail storekeeper—
for everyone who
needs a typewriter for
the simpler uses, like manuscript and letter writing.
The price of the Remington Junior isjifty dollars,
cash with order. It is just what its name implies,
a “boiled down” Remington; smaller, lighter,
simpler and more portable, but a true Remington
in the work it does and the way it does it, and
sold under the iron-clad Remington guarantee.
Here is your chance, absolutely your first chance, to buy
an absolutely first-grade typewriter at a medium price.
For $55.00, we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of $5.00 dozen and $5.00 a month. Cut out the attached
_ coupon and send it to us with 55.00 in cash, check
"Reminirton or money order, and we will send the machine.
