"Inspection of the Alaskan Section alone will
be the Equivalent in many Respects to a
Tour Half Way Around the World."
With the entire section of the
Col.scum assigned for the display of
Alaska products. Alaska will be.giv
•'•i a wonderful opportunity to ad
vertise the resources of the terri

Melius Coti»;:«ss. under whose aus
I es the exhibit is he ng staged. Al
iska occupies the central place of
prominence aiming the exhibitors, in
t te September issue of the Mining
Congress Journal considerable space
>- devoted to t •• Chicago exhibit
and particular prominence is g.ven
to the importance*!* the Alaska sec
••The territory of Alaska will
make an exhibit of all of its re
sou rcc-i. including fish, farming and
animal production, as well us min
ing Inspection of the Alaska sec
tion alone will be the equivalent in
many respects of a tour half way
;.round the world."
Again, in another paragraph, the'
J nirnal further emphasizes the val
ue of the display to be made by Al
aska: "A central feature of the en
tire ev.ioMtion will be the exhibit of
Alaska, which has appropriated a
■~peci.il fund for the purpose of feu-;
luring the mining possibilities and
opportuuities for development in the,
territory The Alaskan exhibit will
be illustrative of the gleat oppor
tunities which are represented there
j
and will perhaps be the most spec

its."
Occupying as it will the center sec
tion of the Coliseum, the largest
auditorium In Chicago, the Alaska
exhibit will be directly in front of
the entrance of this enormous hall.
Around it will be grouped exfc lilts
from the various mining slates and
foreign countries These striking
displays will lie surrounded in turn,
by the exhibits of Manufacturers of
mining machiner> and equipment.
The Maskaa exliib;t. however,
should be t e center of attraction us
an exception has been made in the
case of the territory, whereby Alas
ka is to he allowed to display uli of
its resources This exhibit will also
offer the Alaskan towns a splendid
opportunity to distribute literature
descript've ol' the r localises, to men
whose Interi' t will no doubt be most
valuable in I development of Al
aska's resources.
These exhibits s'::>nld reach Seat

they are to be assured of reaching
Chicago and lie Installed in lime J
for the opening. :i'ier which no ex-j

The Alaska llureait of the Seattle '

New Vessel Is
Sent Down Ways
Primes- I.ouIm' Added to Fleet of
Canadian Pacific. . Steamer l>
Kntinly It. C. Production
At 3:30 this afternoon, greeted ^
by tho sirens of every vessel in liar- j
bor, the blasts of factory viiistles
and the waving of Hags, tlie steamer
Princess Louise, new queen of the
Canadian Pacific Railway Co 's'
coastwise service, slid down the
ways at the Wallace Shipbnildin Ac
Drydock Co. yards at North Vancou
ver and glided out upon the waters
of the inlet.
The Princess Louise hears the dis- ■
tine!ion of being the first "All B. C."
vessel of large type ever construct
ed here, and the most luxurious and
palatial passenger liner on the Pa
cific coast. Iluilt of steel frotu Can
adian mills, the ship is of Urilish
Columbia workmanship. Dales,
masts, derricks, hollers, wiuclu ■ and
engines, were tnouiilded and made
in Vancouver or New West! t
Klectrical fittings are fro: i local
shops, the very glass, though not
made in Vancouver, was ' d here
;>nd the highly artistic Ieatl> d panes
were made here.
Special mention should he made of
the woodwork, which is .11 British
Columbia workmanship, and the ma
terial. with the exception of hard
woods. from B. C. forests. The cab
inet work is magnificent, and the
vessel's interior Is a dream of artis
tic effort, permitted b> the orders
uf the owners, who requested that
no expense be spared in creating the
most attractive passenger steamer
on the coast.
l lie snip is named niter the nrst
vessel brought to the Pacific for
I'oastwiso service for the Canadian
Pacific Railway. The new steamer
will have the greatest tonnage of
any of the present fleet, and will he
second in length. She is construct
ed sufficiently strongly to entitle her
to an unlimited certificate which
will permit of her being used for
deepsea voyages if necessary. She is
4.200 gross tons, feet over all.
317 feet between perpendiculars. 4*
feet beam, and IS feet i! inches deep.
She is single screw and constructed
with what is said to be the finest
lines of any vessel oC the fleet.
The steamer Princess Charlotte
has a greater length than the Princ
ess Louise, but not an equal ton
nage. The Louise has accommoda
tion for 300 passengers, including
40 seconds. There is room in the
dininc saloon for 14<> people at aj
sitting, and an {novation in coast
wise service is seen in separate ac
commodations for first and second
class. Each has its own dining and
smoking rooms. The equipment of
the vessel include? patent davits, a
refrigerator plant and very power
ful winches, one with a lifting
strength of fifteen tons.
This splendid boat, with the Princ
ess Alice, will be on the Vancouver
Skagway run next summer.
The Alaska Commercial Cori.p.iny
has completed the cons'ructicn of a
modern fuel oil station at IVitch
Harbor. Alaska, and is prenarid to
supply vessels with fuel oil. The
tanks and S inch supply pipe are
all steam heated, insuring rapid de
livery at any time of the year. The
wharf facilities are adequate and
there is a depth of 40 feet at low
water. A large quantity of high
grade steam coal is carried at l"na
laska at all times as heretofore.
LEAST OF THESE
By EMMA L. BATSON.
<©. l»31, Western newspaper union./
"I've fully made up my mind, Emily,
to ko to work. With Jack's consent?
No! Certainly not! But what does
tliat matter? He can give no good,
sensible reason, to my way of think
ing, why I shouldn't stay at home.
Says l'aul needs a mother's care. Just
Imagine!—a boy over ten years old
tied to his mother's apron strings!
"Oh, yes. I knew you're terribly
shocked, and all that sort of thing;
so is Jack, for that matter; but I'm
going to work Monday morning. In
spite of every obstacle, and the old
house and—and everything else can
take care of themselves. Let the
neighbors talk If they want to; be
sides. when they're talking about me
they're giving someone else a rest."
Emily burst Into a gale of laughter
at the picture before her, but her
mood changed suddenly as she re
turned thoughtfully:
"My dear, 1 know Just how you feel.
I was once In exactly the same posi
tion as you are. 1 wanted good times
uml tine clothes above everything
else in the world—or at least I
thought I did, until experience tuught
me better. Would you care to have me
tell you about it?-'
"Hear! Hear!" exclaimed Beatrice
enthusiastically to an Imaginary audi
ence. "Fellow citizens, the little gray
mouse has tinall.v consented to disclose
the horrors of the business world.
I.vad on. fair one; convert me, If you
can."
Emily smiled understanding!}- at her
romantic little frieud and replied:
"You're hound I shall tell yon a
thrilling stor.v of adventure and hard
ship, aren't you. Beatrice? You will
he disappointed, 1 know, for this 18
Just a drah little tale."
She patted the flaxen curls of her
younger daughter. Laura, while she
watched with keen luterest her bois
terous, affectionate little tomboy,
I,nulse, as she raced through the yard
laughing joy >usly.
"A utot Iter's place, my friend. Is
with her children, first, last and al
ways. No one els ■ can take her place.
No one else can possibly know Just
what their little hearts require. Why,
then, should she sometimes prize so
little the treasures that God has given >
Into her care?
"It was a great day for me, Bea
trice, when I brought home my very
tirst pay envelope. I had visions of
all the beautiful clothes 1 would buy
and of the happiness I could bring to
others. 1 was elated to think that 1
was no longer dependent upon my hus
band for ready cash. They have a
way. yon know, of feeling their own
Importance, bless 'em, and are apt to
strut around as though they were |
lords of all they surveyed. But why
should we worry ourselves about such
trifles? Let them go on thinking so If
It makes them happy and keeps them
peaceful. We know In our hearts that 1
they are Just big, grown-up boys."
"Yes, Just boys, but such kind, de
voted. big-hearted boys," added Bea
trice quietly.
"You're right, my dear," returned i
her friend, "and we women can often
influence thera for good or evil, ac
cording to our own standards of liv
ing anil outlook upon life. But I am
drifting away from my story. Where
was 1': Oh. yes. I could spend hours
tilling you of my thrilling and tragic
experiences as a special saleswoman
in an exclusive department store In
the heart if the city, but T will not
weary you. Suffice to say that when
1 returned home at night I was too ex
hausted to enjoy my blessed young
sters and too nervous and Irritable to
treat my husbaud decently.
"We missed the companionship
which we once enjoyed, but we did
not rcullze the reason for Its absence.
Then suddenly 1 became 111. You
know, my dear. God Is sometimes
obliged to put us on our hacks in or
der to make us lonk upward. I looked
—and I beheld the handwriting on the
wall: 'Whosoever shall offend the least
of these. My little ones—' Just that
and—it was enough.
"The answer to my unspoken ques
tion flashed across my mind as though
sent from heaven. There was no
longer any doubt in my mind as to the
meaning of those words. 1 had pre
sumed to choose my own path, regard- |
less of a nobler work that the Groat
Mind had planned for me. I was too
engrossed in my own affairs to guide
aright the uncertain footsteps of my
little ones, and too wrapped up In
trivial matters to realize that their
Impulsive, lonely little hearts had
constant need of a mother's love. It
was all too true that I had offended
'the least of these," His little ones, by
thoughtless neglect, and 1 felt con- '
detuned. Do you wonder now, my j
dear, why I turned over a new leaf?"
When the simple story came to an
end there were tears In Beatrice's
beautiful eyes, but she hastily wiped
them away and spoke quietly, broken
ly: "Emily, you're a wonder, but I
think no one realizes It better than I.
It's home, sweet home, for me now,
and you may rest assured that I shall
forget m.v silly notions. Klnc clothes
nnt! good times can wait I am fully
convinced that Jack and Paul are all
that I can handle—successfully."
Then, with profound disgust, she add
ed : "1 hive certainly been one empty
headed. worthless butterfly."
"Oh, no, not either ol" those, my
dear." replied Ktnlly. Kindly, "but Just
as we are all bound to be sooner or
later—a little thoughtless." 1
