A RAILROAD TO ALASKA
The British Columbian proposal for a railroad to con
nect the United States with Alaska should engage the i|
terested attention of Seattle, says a Seattle paper, for even
if it were built, it probably would not much disturb exist
ing steamship lines.
The proposed route is a roundabout one, to Dawson,
with a branch to the Portland Canal district. The American
Canadian boundary runs down the center of the Portland
canal.
Some day, undoubtedly, there will be both highways
and steel track connecting the United States with Alaska,
but we agree with the Seattle paper that a great deal more
business must be developed before either will be econom
ically feasible.
It may be that there is something seriously wrong
with Jack Dempsey’s eyes, but the general impression re
mains that a miraculous cure of them will be affected
about the time to start training for the next big fight.
Speaking of oratory, Senator Heflin, who ran wild the
other day back at Washington, seems to be making a bid
for the endurance flight record.
Rochester, N. Y., is to have a garlic eating contest. We
have them in Seward quite frequently judging from per
sons sitting near you at public entertainments.
A continued story has been running for 12 years in a
Japanese newspaper. That beats our own Muscle Shoals
serial by a year or so.
The cunning displayed by most murderers who plead
insanity leads one to suspect that there is method in their
madness.
# The war controvery would end if the enlightened
nations could determine how long it is consistent to fight
for peace.
How about sending Colonel Lindbergh on a good-will
flight to Herrin ?

Holtz, 1042 Garden St., Charleston, W
Va. It is believed that he is likely

tunity, oftentimes kneeling and pray
ing also in front of the flag.
