third tract ten miles wide, runs
along each side of 'the Susitna
river as far nortli as the Yentna.
Vhc fourth tract extends for a
width of five miles along the Mat
a.iuska branch line up the Susitna
r'ver to Broad Pass.
The order provides further that
tho reservation shall not prevent
location, settlement, or entry under
the public land laws of Alaska sub
ject to the condition that the lo
cator, settler or entryman must
subscribe to an agreement where
usder he agrees not to cut or re
move any of the timber on the
lands located, settled upon or
claimed, unless authorized so to
do by the secretary of the Interior.
No certificate of final entry shall
be issued in connection with this
lai.d until the Alaska engineer
ing commission shall have deter
mined that the government has no
fuither need of the land for tim
ber. This order, however, is not
to be construed to disturb any vest
ed right.
In transmitting the order the
Commissioner of the general office
sends a 'copy of the letter of the
s cretary to William C. Edes where
in the statement is made that the
secretary recommended the issuance
of the order" only with great 'reluct
ance, believing that it would have
a tendency to retard the develop
ment of the country adjoining the
railroad. In view of this belief the
secretary makes the request that
as soon as the government shall
have finished with the laud in ques
tion, or in other words, as soon as
the engineering commission, shall
have secured all the timber from
any particular tract that it intends
to use, that he be notified in order
that such tracts may be eliminated
from the above mentioned condi
tions regarding location or settle
ment. The commission is there
fore required by the secretary to
report from time to time ■ such
areas as may be eliminated from
the reserve in order that all restric
tions as to the disposition of the
lands may be removed.
"In the areas withdrawn, no final
proof has as yet 'been submitted,
and it is not likely that for a per
iod of three years any settler will
be able to submit final proof," said
Register Walker today, "so that
•here w'll probably be no delay 'in
the advance of any settler's claim

A RUTHLESS CZAR
Peter the Great Was a Savage,
but He Made His Country.
BIRTH OF MODERN RUSSIA.
It Began With a Beard Reform In
Which the Monarch Himself Acted at
Hair Cutter For His Nobles—Tri
umphs of the Giant Barbarian.
The chief nobles of Russia, summon
ed from all quarters of the empire on
April 20, 1008, sat around a table 111
the czar's palace at Moscow. They
were a rough looking lot with their
shaggy beards and unkempt hair and
with their dirt incrusted bodies swath
ed in gold embroidered oriental robes.
At the table's head stood a thick set
young man whose ill fitting European
robes sat oddly on his giant body. He
was rugged of faco and was the only
beardless member of the conference.
In one unwashed hand he wielded a
pair of barber shears.
The man was Peter I., czar of all the
Russlas, father of modern Russia and
known to time as Peter the Great. He
had Just returned from a tour of En
rope, and the journey had taught him
a lesson. It had taught him, he said
to the nobles, that he ruled a barbaric
and primitive realm that was about a
thousand years behind the times; that
Russia had slumbered while all the
rest of the world had pressed forward.
ne announced that he was going to
pen a new era for his country; to civ
ilize and modernize it and make It as
up to date as the nations which were
laughing at It. ne further informed
the assemblage that the reform was
going to begin then and there. Modern
folk, he told them, did not wear enor
mous shaggy beards and long robes.
European dress must henceforth be
worn by the Russians, and beards
must go.
To show he was in earnest Peter
went slowly around the table and with
his own hand cut off the beard of
every man there. To a seventeenth
century Russian the beard was as
sacred as is a pigtail to a Chinaman,
and nothing but Peter's Iron authority,
backed by his army's loyalty, prevent
ed a wholesalo revolution. Until Pe
ter's time it had been the custom to
wear the coatsleeves at least a foot
longer than the arms. These sleeves
he ordered cut off to conform with Eu
ropean fashions. As It was, (he clothes
and beard reform stirred up a dozen
hot little rebellions.
Ana tnus moaern uussia was noni.
Nor did Peter rest until he hnd made
his formerly despised country n world
power. He wns a strange man, this
czar, who undertook to awaken a
sleeping nation to life and activity.
Voltaire paints perhaps the l>e*t pic
ture of the czar's many sided charac
ter in the words:
"lie gave a polish to his people and
was himself a savage. He taught them
the art of war, of which he himself
was ignorant From the sight of a
small boat on the river Moskwa he
erected a powerful fleet, made himself
an expert and active shipwright, sailor,
pilot and commander. He changed the
manners, customs and laws of the Rus
sians, and he lives In their memory as
the father of his country."
One change followed another. Edu
cation, mechanics, the arts, were Intro-,
duced into Russia, armies of practical
teachers being imported. Then came
wars which won some long needed sea
ports for the awakened land and new
territory as well.
Peter decided that Moscow was
wrongly built and In a bad location for
his newborn country's capita!. And
against an avalanche of opposition he
picked out a tract of ground in the
midst of a swamp for a new capital.
Here with his own hands he built a
wooden hut and summoned every ar
tisan he could get hold of to help him
erect a monster city, to be known, in
his honor, as Pt. Petersburg.
He superintended the work of dredg
ing. digging and building, doing much
of the labor In person, working side by
side with his underpaid day laborers.
In 1703 the city was begun. In 1711
Peter laid the foundation of his own
brick palace there. (And 203 years
later one of Ida successors renamed the
capital Petrograd, to get rkl of the Ger
man word "burg" in its title.) In 1713
the seat of government was moved
hither from Moscow.
Peter the Great died In 172T>. Mod

epitaph, no found his country semi

them.
