I believe that with the opening of the Panama Canal, the population of the Pacific Coast -will grow by leaps and bounds," so that by the end of the present century the' Pacific Coast states, including Alaska, will have at least . twenty times the number of inhabitant they have in 1910. But an increase by twenty times of tbe present white inhabitants of Alaska would mean about 1-2 million people and this, in place of exhausting the resources of Alaska, could only pro duce a preliminery development there of.. During the past fifteen years I bare traversed Alaska W-practicaJy all directions and I have given the most careful study to tbe territory's posibilities, and. I know' that as far aa this and the next century are con cerned Alaska's resources are inex haustible. ' : ; With its mines developed; its fer tile valleys settled by Northern agri culturists; its sounds, bays and rivers settled by tbe type of fishermen who live along the North and Baltic seas, will add more to our national wealth and prosperity than any other state or territory in the Jum, ana its appar ent resources, in place of diminishing, will increase a bundled fold. This -vast storehouse of wealth is our lasf national freehold, as yet un- preemptetf. , Why -should we permit this territory to become a battle field for spoils between greedy monopolists and ambitious politieianaf Why not give the people a chance at itt The common people are the only ones who can develop Alaska successfully. v Intervention la Looked Tor. London, April 18. The Mexican developments are attracting much at tention in the British press, but no very decided opinions have yet been expressed, he Standard and tbe Morning Post consider that American intervention ie not yet justified. The Post likens tbe situation to that which preceded the Spanish war, and says I The' Americans msy dis claim a desire for territorial expan sions, but whether in Liberia, the Far East,. or Central America , they are prepared cheerfully to ; embark on eonreesfof policy leading directly to consequences for which they profess such distaste. . , , , . . iMme.

This was done and the meeting ad journed to meet tonight for the pur pose of considering the application for a gas franchise by Mr. Sydney Kenny, of Philadelphia. STATE BANS LOSES DEPOSITS. A Shrinkage of 6' Million Dollars in Oklahoma in Two HonQu. A decrease of 6 million dollars in tbe individuals deposits of the Okla homa state banks, between the dates of the last two official statements, from January 7 to March 7, 1911, is shown by tbe compilation issued from the office of J. JJ. Lanktord, stste bank eommisioner. Ttftal resources ef all state oanks, numbering 690 on the Hit rtto lastttafeTnentr-show - d decrease of more than 7 million dollars in two months, While deposits of state banks de creased 5 millions, those of national banks increased about y million dol lars. .The number of national banks reporting was the same on both dates, 229. The number of state banks on March 7 was 690, decrease of five sinee-Jannary 7. A good many state banks have been' changed into nation al banks since the date of the last statement.

Total resources of state banks were $08,546,420, and of national banks $82,106,626. Want Free List Bill Attached to Rec iprocity Bill. ; . Statesville Landmark. Three of the North Carolina Con gressmen Doughton, of this district; Webb, of tbe ninth, and Gudger, of the tenth, declined to be bound by the action of the Democratic caucus with reference to the Canadian reciprocity bill. While not entirely favorable lo the reciprocity bill,' they have not de cided to vote against it ; but they in sist that the free list bill the meas ure placing a large number of arti cles on the free list should be linked with the'reeiproeity bill, so that if the bill passes President Taft would be compelled to accept the free list, bil along with the reciprocity measure, or let both go. They and others who take this view insist that if the reci procity bill gets through the President will, of course, sign it, while if the free list bill is passed np to the Pres ident separately be will probably veto it. There is good argument in this position, but the great majority of the Democrats - decided to offer the bills separately the free list bill to follow reciprocity probably on the ground that it is better to Aave the reciprocity bill enacted into law with out the free list than to fail on both; and, moreover, if the free list bill fails tbe Republicans must take the re- sponsibility. - , ; 2,000,000 Woman Smok. New York. April 18. Computing front the fact that over 500,000,000 mi-lady-size cigarettes were consumed last year, one of the biggest cigarette manufacturer in tbe world declared today that there are nearly 2,000,000 women smokers in this country. .

In order to lessen this work and afford the earner one day of rest it is anticipated that the Concord public will refrain from asking for mail Sun day unless the -eeemsipn is indeed nrgent, f;:-l,v ':-'-vv' Ed How of Kania for&onfbttionV For many years E. W. Howe, editor of the Atchison Globe, haa editorially opposed prohibition, believing that it was not a temperance measure. In Wednesday's issue of the Globe Mr. Howe showed a change of opinion. He said: '., We are almost ashamed because of our position on prohibition. For many years we honestly believed thai prohibition wss not an effective tem perance measure. Since the saloons have been closed in Atchison we are half way persuaded that there is something in prohibition. Seme say there la no decrease in drunkenness. We know better. Chief Sullivan says there is undoubtedly less drunken ness than before the - saloons were closed. The chief says drunken man is so unusual now that he is regarded. as a Irazy man wsa formerly re garded. We have always practiced temper ance and we have always preached it, but somehow, we got a notion that prohibition was not an effective tem perance measure. We are often wrong; and, when we are, we admit it. If prohibition continues to pro hibit in Atchison we may become a long haired man and join the short haired women in the movement for absolute prohibition. Baseball Her and at Mt.

Th Greensboro News has aa inter view with Mr. Zeb Taylor, who is in timately connected with the South ern Power Co., in which he says: "Never before in the hietory of the nation, and I would ssy in the his tory or the world, bss uch a project as this been unfolded into a practical undertaking. Solid train loads of 50 freight cars, being hauled by finely equipped, electrically driven engines, snd at tbe same time handsome pss senger trains, driven, heated and lighted by electricity are unknown across wide stretches of country be tween cities. At the same time will be a quick haul, a prompt passenger service, and a general iwcommodstion such ss is never seen outside of large cities. "There is but one other undertak ing similar to this one and that is be ing projected where a government has ownership and control of the trans portation lines. That is the Prussian government, which, with a sum- of $12,000,000, is connecting some of its large cities with electric lines. The Southern Power company is the only company that is accomplishing such strides as are at present being taken in North and South Carolina." . Mr. Taylor was asked sbout the step to be taken upon the completion of the present section of the system, after transportation starts thereover. He wss told the understanding was held that the Southern Power com pany would begin another section be tween Charlotte and Salisbury, or between Charlotte and flrtaensboro, and still another section between Greensboro and Durham, and was asked for an estimate of the time when these lines would be constructed. He replied that he was not in a po sition to ay. "At any rate," the reporter ques tioned, "it is the purpose of the Southern Power Compsny to event ually embrace this territory, end to stretch out' Mill further and. connect with cities all over the sontht" " I will say th, end-y have noted it" yourself," Mr, Tsylor answered with his shrewd smile, "the South ern Power Company never stands still." The Boone correspondent of the Hickory Democrat says the maple sugar crop has been good in that sec tion this year; that one man made 500 pounds on his land and all told about 2,000 pounds were made in the same neighborhood. Tbe sugar sells readily at 15 cents the pound. When tbe sap is boiled for a time an excel lent quality of swim is made which sells for $1 per gallon. When we hear some people talk for we wonder how it is them to change their minds.
