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.

Augustan's Today Watched ’Em Make Great Battle Scene For "The Littlest Rebel" 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 Peple, scored one of the greatest successes ever known to the legiti mate theater, running a whole season In New York and fifty weeks In Chi cago. No play from the speaking stage 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.

No one 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 —rich or poor -young or old —upon the face of the earth. 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 crack Edison camera man The scenes are those of thp picturesque and sunny Southland described by the author. Every detail of produc tion lias been studied out with care. The original flag of battle are unfurl ed to the breeze once more—the gen ulne declaration of war Is flashed upon the screen. Veteran officers of the Confederate and Federal armies assist In directing the sensational bit tie scenes. 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.
