SECOND GREATEST RIVER IN
ALASKA OPENED TO COMMERCE
Washington, D. C., Jan. 25—
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
made tho official announcement
today that a practical navigable
channel from the Bering Sea into
the mouth of the Kuskokwim river
! had been discovered by Caj)talu
! Lukens of tho Coast and Geodetic
! survey.
The Kuskokwim river is the sec
ond greatest river in Alaska. It
■ is 9 miles wide nt its mcuth and
navigable for over 600 miles in
land. The great submerged flats
of the delta of this river extend
100 miles out to sea,and it was
through this unchartered delta that
the surveying steamer "Yukon"
made the discovery of the channel
which means so much to the com
merce of that section of Alaska.
The Kuskokwim is one of the
three great Alaskan rivers emp
tying into the Bering Sea which
lias been opened to commerce as a
result of the charting operations of
the Coast and Geodetic survey. The
mouth of the Yukon was surveyed
in 1S9S and in a few years that
river became one of the greatest
commercial arteries of Alaska. In
1909 and 1910 Xusliagak bay was
rParted, and now the Kuskokwim, by
iar the most dreaded and unknown
of these rivers, will no longer be
a menace or a mystery to the navi
gator who has one of the new charts
of Its entrance about to be issued
by the Coast and Geodetic survey.
The survey of the Bering sea in
'he vicinity of the Kuskokwim
was started in 1911 and continued
the following summers of 1912 and
1913. But it was not until the
past field season that a surveying
■vessel sncceed?d in tracing and
charting channels through the groat
area of tho submerged mud flats
which make up the delta of the Kus
kokwlm.
In making the survey, Captain
Lukens reports he took 14,250
soundings covering an area of over
100 square miles. This in itself is
qjite an achievement when con
sidered in connection with the cus
tomary bad weather in Alaska and
the fact that in some instances it
was necessary to locate soundings
by obervations on mountain peaks
more than 60 miles distant. The
whole working season was confined
to 83 days and in July alone 29M>
of these days were lost on account
of the weather being either bad or
not sufficiently clear to see tho dis
tant surveying marks.
When the new Coast and Geodetic
survey chart shewing the newly dis
covered channel is issued, it will
be possible for steamship companies
to send vessels to the Kuskokwim
and thus Initiate the development of
the latent mining, fishing, and agri
cultural resources of that region.
The Kuskokwim valley covers
many thousands of square miles,
and no one can predict with cer
tainty what thl3 virgin territory will
develop when it is thoroughly pros
pected, but it is not unreasonable
to suppose that the near future will
see the Koskokwim river of com
mercial importance comparable with
that of .the Tukon river.
It has been known for some time
that there were large areas of
• mineral lands along the Kuskokwim
with promising prospects of mercury
bearing cinnabar, gold bearing
quartz, placer grounds "and coal
lauds, whose successful ' develop
ment only waited a reliable means
of transportation such as Is now
promised by the newly discovered
| channel.
Contiguous to the Kuskokwim val
ley there are many thousands of
square miles suitable for reindeer
grazing. Captain Luken3 reports
that already vho small initial gov
ernment herd has grown until there
are now about 6,000 reindeer in
tnis vicinity. He says that the
cost of 'raising reindeer is very
small. Three men can take care
of 1,000. The animals subsist on
the country the year round. Even
in the winter when the ground Is
! covered with snow, no extra feed is
j required for them. The meat of the
reindeer is comparable to. that of
our western beef. Even with the
sn>ali market afforded at present
the native herd owners are 'becom
ing prosperous, and now that bet
tor transportation is promised by
ships that will use the new chan
nel there is every reason to believe
that this country will furnish many
thousands of pounds of this/- excel
lent meat for shipment to the Un
ited States.
Like other large rivers of this
Dart of Alaska, the Kuskokwim has
a large salmon run. Captain Lu
kens states that now reliable' trans
portation is at hand, the canning
companies are arranging to extend
their operations into this region,
bat that the extent of this, Indus
try can not be forecasted until after
a year of actual fishing.
Among other things given out In
h's announcement of the results
cf important charting operations In
Alaska, Secretary Redfield states
that plans are being made in Seat
tle for the construction by different
companies of two light draft ves
sels designed especially to take
care of the expected development
of the commerce of the Kuskokwim
river, and that still another ship
ping firm has already announced
sailings to the Kuskokwim at the
opening of navigation in the coming
spring.
YOUTHS TO LEARN HOW
TO PROSPECT FOR GOLD !
Golden, Colo., Feb. 1—A school
for the education of prospectors in
primary lessons in geology, mineral
ogy and tests for minerals in the
field and for the promotion of in- I
telligent prospecting will be opened
this month at the Colorado School j
of Mines here. Old mining men
of the state believe the school will
revive interest in prospecting and
some express the hope that the in
struction and stimulus imparted by
the school many lead to the dis
covery of another Cripple creek and
another mining boom in this Bt&te.
The school is the first of the
kind to be established in connection
with an institution like the school
of mines.
In addition to the lectures, la-1
boratory instruction will be given. |

REFUGEES OF MEXICO
HAVE SIX NEWSPAPERS
Sail Antonio, Texas, Jan. 30—Six
daily newspapers printed here in
Spanish are eagerly road for news
lrom Mexico by the big Mexican
population of San Antonio and
vicinity. Five thousand or more
refugees are making their homes
here ponding final settlement of the
revolutions and counter revolutions
in tho republic south ot the Rio
Grande. Of the six dailies, three
espouse the cause of Carranza, two
champion Villa and one favors Felix
D.az.
The Carranza consulate here an
nounced it paid out in telegraph
tolls about $ 1000 monthly for ad
vjces from various Mexican points
a ad exchanges with "Washington.
Tnese despatches appear in the lo
cal Carranzista papers and are cop
i"d by the opposition, which refer
to them In footnotes according to the
ViJUsta or Diazlsta standpoint. The
newspapers bristle wltfc news and
comment on the Mexican situation,
often going far afield for material.
La Prensa, a Villis'a organ, pub
lished a cablegram from Madrid re
l>orting that a paper there thought
the United States government ought
10 intervene in Mexico in the name
•'f the Monroe Doctrine and hu
manity.
Intervention is deeply and sin
cerely hated by the Mexican refu
gees here. They want none of it
and declare that if the United
Plates Intervenes it will involve the
Washington government in a great
war which will eventually drag in
Europe and Asia. These refugees
maintain that Mexico will work
out its own salvation and they pre
fer this method, even at the cost
of many lives.

duction of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at
thg popular Picture Palace last
night. By request the same play
will be again thrown upon the

SPOONING IS CONDEMNED
BY UNIVERSITY SPEAKER
Seattle, Feb. 1—Dancing and
spooning as pastimes lor college
students were dealt a hard bloy by
Dr. M. J. Exner, a member of the
international committee of the V.
M. C. A., when he addressed 300
men of the University of Washing
ton last week, ou "A Rational
F)ght for Self Mastery in the
Sphere of Sex."
"The modem damie Is inexpedi
ent," he said. ''There are certain
c mditions under which I would
consider dancing proper, but un
less the3e are observed, you have
no right to indulge in dancing."
The conditions D:*. Exner named
were:
1. The dancers must be free from
personal contact.
2. Women must observe propriety
and modesty in d'ees.
3. Chivalry must be men's con
stant aim.
4. Women must maintain a con
tinual attitude of modesty.
"Spooning," said Dr. Exner, "is
a violation of the first principles
of chivalry. It lowers respect for
women, ana it neips to oreajt aowu
woman's only protection, her re
serve and modesty. It is a mis
direction of affection and a lowering
of love. — -
"Acollegman cannot afford to
spoon. Promiscuous spooning de
moralizes the powers of concentra
tion and application, bo important
to a young man who would be
successful In life. I.t exercises a
demoralizing Influence on intel
lectuality."
