EXTENDING THE FUNCTIONS OF
GOVERNMENT.
The United State* government will
#oon enter upon It* tn*k of building
and operating the 1,000 mile* of rail
road In Alaska authorized by congre*n
and for which an appropriation of $35,-
000,000 wa* made. Needless to aay.
the reault of thl* extension of the
functions of the federal government
will he watched with a great deal of
Interest by the country at large, as
It may have large effect In Influencing
dew* as to the wisdom of government
ownership of the country's railways
as a general proposition, there being
considerable sentiment favorable
thereto already.
In preparation for the work of con
struction authorised In Alaska, Prial
dent Wilson has already named two
tngineers of the commission that |s
to handle the business of locating and
building these railroads. One of these
Is Lieutenant Mears, who has been
chief engineer of (he Panama Hall
way during the period of the canal’*
construction. The appointment sug
gests the probability that the magnifi
cent canal building organisation will
to a considerable estent tn\ transferred
to Alaska to curry on the railroad
development there.
In carrying on this work of con
struction In Alaska It will doubtless
be found easier In many ways than
It was to build the canal. Neither Is
there the tremendous task of making
the rountry habitable for white men.
Alaska la one of the healthiest coun
tries In the world, and the conditions
to be met are Just such In the main
as have been encountered In construe
tlon of the prairie and mountain rail
roads In this country.
For the present, the railroad pro
ject In Alaska Is a very small one
compared to the building of the canal,
the appropriation, as previously Indi
cated. amounting to only $35,000,000,
with a maximum of 1,000 miles of road
to be built; whereas, the canal will
have cost not lees than $400,000,000 by
the time It la completed.
“Not unlikely," says the Washing
ton Times, "we will ultimately build
railroads enough in the Imperial terri
tory to represent as much Investment
as has been put Into the canal; but
that will only be done In a long pe
riod. The Alaska railroads will be
rrmatrurted where and when they are
needed and when It Is reasonably ap
parent that they will tie Justified h.'
traffic conditions and the needs of the
ronntry. Before their builders will
be tbe opportunity to give a striking
uemcnetratton of the efficiency of gov
ornniect conduct of euati operations.
If tbe government proves thst tt can
build and equip railroads cheaper and
more satisfactorily than they have
commoniy been laid down by private
enterprises, it will be one more great
achievement for the army engineers,
r,nd one more nail in the coffin <>f the
tbeory that government can't possibly
do aay business so well as private <u
lerprtec "
While the government was Influ
enced to undertake this work of con
struction for the development of the
country by reason of the tack of In
doesmeriti to private enterprise. If the
experiment should not prove as satis
factory as expected, tbe conetructton
of the 1,000 miles authorised will hnv*
a w«mderfu> effect In developing
country and It may be that the
tire to farther building will bi
clan* to attreet private capital to carry
on tbe work and. If need be. take oveg
the govern men)-cMoetrue ted Hues sad

Augustan's Today Watched ’Em Make Great

Local Militia Helping Out in Famous Motion Picture Play.
Fighting Raged All Day at Game Preserve Near City.
Many People Motored Out There Yesterday.
Auguatans were given a 3] lendld
opportunity today to see hoiv the bat
tles fought In the Civil War, with the
explosion of minea and shooting of
i cannon, are made into moving plc
| lures The Hattie of Seven Days
around Richmond raged all day long,
on the Game Preserve, near the city,
the fighting forces being the Way
ne.boro ami Augusta companies of
the National Guard The result of
the day’s work was the making of
that part of "The Littles Hebei" mo
tion picture film In which the actual
fighting In the Civil War Is shown.
yesterday, as it was Sunday and a
mom delightful day, too, there were
scores of automobile parties who
went out to see how such motion plc
j turoi. as “The Littlest. Rebel" are
made. Hundred* of people congre
gated on the ti< Id and along the
roadway to see the military maneu
vers. None of the battle scenes were
made yesterday only the movements
of troops before the great battle were
taken as no shooting could he done
on Sunday. There was much light
ing today, however.
Something of the Story.
“The Littlest Rebel,” by Edward

MORAN SAILS
FIB BIG FIGHT
Heavyweight Championship
Bout to be Pulled Off in
Paris on June 27th.
New York.—The sailing of Frank
Moran for France marks the passing
of the preliminary stage In the ar
rangements for the heavyweight titu
lar bout to bo fought in I’arls on June
27. Jack Johnson us defender of the
championship has already begun a
regular routine of training and Mo
ran will follow suit ns soon as ho
arrives upon the scene of the coming
contest. While Ills plans are but ten
tatively outlined lit present and sub
ject to conditions thnt Moran will have
to consider upon his arrival In I'iirls,
Johnson hns settled down upon a two
months' schedule of conditioning
which he declares will fit him for a
successful defense of the title won
at Reno on July 4, 1910.
Johnson has selected Aslneres, a
suburb of l’nrls, us the site of Ills
training camp and begun his condi
tioning there early this week. Judg
ing from the reports from I’arls the
title-holder has entered upon a round
of preparation which Indicates Ida be
lief that the coming confbst with Mo
ran Is not to be considered lightly.
Despite the fact that he ts within
twenty pounds of the weight nt which
he entered the ring against Jeffries,
he has elected to train fully two
months for the meeting with Moran.
Apparently Johnson expects a lengthy
bout In which there will he resource
to much footwork for he gives as one
of the principal reasons for Ids elec
tion of Asnlcres ns a trnitdng cantp
the fact that the surrounding roads
are Ideal for running and long walks.
He has Intimated that this depart
ment of his training will he one to
which he will devote much attention.
Other Details.
The other details are not to be over
looked. however, for Johnson has ar
ranged to surround himself with a
competent staff of trainers, boxers
and wrestlers which will Include sev
eral of those who have aided him In
preparing for past campaign*. Calvin
ltespress hns been named as one train
er and It Is understood that over
tures have been made to a well-known
American trainer to Journey to Krc.nce
to a salts In the work Reepress. who
has trained Johnson for several of Ids
bouts In France and other parts of
continental Europe, will select those
French pugilists and wrestlers who
will be members of the training corps.
Johnson will choose such American
trainers and boxers as he msy decide
will be of help to him during the
training period.
According to Johnson, who has Just
closed a series of boxing exhtblton*
at Hrussel*. Id* arm. wldch was frac
tured during a bout with J'.m John
son, Is as strong as before tbe acci
dent. He stnte* that there Is no pain
when he block* sn opponent'# blow
and that he believes tbe recovery so
complete that there ts no danger of a
handicap tn this direction, in other
respect* Johnson contends that he
will be as physically fit for Moran as
he was for Jeffries, making allow
ance for the four years which have
elapsed since th contest on the auge
plains of Nevada.
Whatever the outcome of tbe bout
It la evident thla early thnt the French
are preparing to greet the prtnctpala
with the usual French enthualasip.

can resist the throbs and tears and
loughs and thrilling exultation of its
truthful and pmhetie story. It ap
peals with equal force to every class
of picture goers- cultured or ignorant

Back of these natural advantages
stands a definite idea of production
which will make "The Littlest Rebel"
a five-reel photo play masterpiece of
surpassing excellence.
The principal parfs are played by
famous motion picture players. There
Is no doubt about their ability to
bring out all the dramatic values and
give satisfaction in their work.
Mr. E. K. Lincoln, star of the Vlt
agraph Company, one of the finest
and most popular picture actors In
the world, heads an organization
which includes tha Universal stars, an
Edison lead, a Mutual director and a

scenes are those of thp picturesque
and sunny Southland described by
the author. Every detail of produc

The original flag of battle are unfurl

Protest Dispossession
Duala Negro Population
To Investigate Conditions; Is
the Sea Port of German
Colony in Africa.
Berlin.—The secretary for the colo
nies has decided to s* nd out a special
commission to investigate conditions
at Duala. the seaport of the German
colony of Kainerun In Africa.
A storm of protest lias arisen in
Germany against the aliened high
handed proceedings of the colonial au
thorities of Kamerun, who wish to dis
possess the entire negro population of
Duala in order to establish there a
purely European quarter with sanita
tion and other modern Improvements.
It is claimed that this cannot be done
so long as the natives with their
wreched huts and other insanitary
modes of lift* occupy a considerable
part of the ground needed for the
white settlement.
The Reichstag which has been ask
ed to appropriate $500,000 to compen
sate the natives does not object In
principle to dispossession of the ne
gues, but members of the budget com
mittee protest strongly against the
manner in which dispossession here
tofore has been carried out. The ne
groes have declared that the colonial
authorities gave them but a pittance
of what their lots are worth and that
the new site on which they were com
pelled to settle was a plague spot
compared to their old homes
In deference to the public demand
for a Just and humane treatment of
the natives, the secretary of the colo
nies finally decided to have an ex
haustive report made to him upon the
whole matter. The commission which
be appointed will proceed soon to
Kamerun to hear the negro side of the
controversy as well as that of the
local authorities. The friends of gen
tle and humane methods in the treat
ment of the natives are also pleased
with the report that Haron von ftech
enberg, formerly governor of German
Hast Africa, has been nominated for
the Reichstag in a district where he is
sure to l»e elected. His administra
tion In Hast Africa was marked by
zealous eforts to protect the natives
from all high handed methods on the
part of the German planters General
von Delbert, also a former governor
of Hast Africa and a leading expon
ent of stalwart policies In the colonies,
has Just lost his seat in the Reich
stag. having failed of re-election after
having been unseated because of ir
regiiularities.
