CROWN PRINCE AND HIS UNCLE i odetlc survev, 6hlB familiarity with the region and on account of tho part ho took In running the AlaBkan-Ca-nadtan boundary line, finished but two years ago. Associated with Mr. Riggs In the railroad sur vey were Lieut. Frederick Means of the United 8tates army and William C. Edes. As a result of the work done last summer and data previous ly gathered In tho same territory by other ex llodltlons of tho coast and geodetic survey, the routo now to bo followed Is to run in part along the Susltna and tho Cantwell rivers and through the foothills of towering Mount McKinloy. The experts predict great prosperity for the whole territory and declare that the ultimate cost of $2G,800,000 for tho system complete will be am ply compensated for by renson of tho resulting benoflts. Whatever may be tho ultimate economic sig nificance of this government-owned railroad in Alaska, there should bo no question about our present interest In tho work done In running tho preliminary survey and that which will later follow as the steel rails aro led farther and farth er northward in that rugged region. From past experience, it has been amply es tablished that surveying in Alaska is apt to bo full of thrills. First, tho open season is a short ono and a great deal of action has to be crowded into a brief period by the surveyor His Is not tho task merely of the explorer who pushes ahead by the shortest routo to his objective, but Instead is that of choosing the easiest gradients for tho Intrusive locomotive, spanning the short est valleys and bridging tho rivers or torrential streams where tho foundations or the approaches cSjbe built for tho least amount of money com patible with present strength and durability. Some of the most towering peaks In North America are in southern Alaska, and from their snow-clad shoulders In tho spring and sum mer the waters flow seaward In great volumo and with much violence. Then the stricken timber Is washed down Into tho flooded channels, and this wealth of logs rushos onward like a veritable avalanche when the way Is clear, or, what Is oven more menacing, theso millions of mighty sticks jam In some narrow pass, penning up tho waters and themselves until ruptured by tho titanic forces they have halted for tho whilo. Then as the jam is broken onward tears the roaring stream and tho whirling timber until tho broad reach of some wide channels robs tho tor rent of Its turbulent fury. The surveyors have not only to avoid theso dangers In planning tho right of way and the points for bridging, but their work will demand that they actually cross some of these streams when blazing the way for tho line. The waters are ley and tho currents swift, while means of rescue are apt to bo woefully scant. Mr. Rlggs has given us some spectacular In stances of the hazards confronting tho civil engi neer In that part of tho world, and what has been experienced In tho past up there Is a pretty good Index of tho difficulties to be faced In running the lino inland from the rail head of the existing road, 71 miles long, which will form the nucleus of this great government undertaking. But torrential rivers loaded with millions of logB aro not tho only forms of titanic masses with which the railroad builder In Alaska has to count Thero aro tho slow marching but Irre sistibly advancing mountains of ice, the glaciers, and somo of these have taken possession of the very valleys through which tho railroad engineer would preferably chooso to lead his line. Indeed, the Copper River and Northwestern railroad In Alaska gives a pretty good notion of some of tho difficulties to bo faced by the surveyors nnd pro vided for by the governmont when It comes to actual construction. That road is 195 miles long and yet In that distance there aro nearly 275 trestles, bridges, tunnels and fills. Indeedj there aro sections where a mile of construction has cost as much as $200,000 There Is a steel brldgo flanked by two glaciers that cost a million and a half dollars to build, and before a bit of that structure was reared tho engineers spent threo years In studying tho peculiarities of those moving mountains of Ice. One of the most serious phases of Alaskan sur vey work Is tho problem of transportation. As Mr. Riggs says, "Thero Is food to be carried for tho party, which is a big item, and oats for tho horses. At some time during tho Hfo of tho Alaskan boundary survoy every known form of transportation In tho North was UBed. In sum mer wo have been known to adopt the Indian practice and pack dogs. Ono year, at tho close of tho season, practically all our hortea had died, and wo Journeyed down tho White river for a distance of 190 miles on rafts. "Early one May a start was made from White- horse, first over a so-called wagon road where the slx-horso wagons were frequently bogged or upset, and then after even that semblance of a road had disappeared the 50 horses constituting our pack train were loaded with tho camp outfit and supplies. Rivers and lakes were crossed at great risk "on tho rotten Ice. Seventeen days out from Whltehorso tho party crossed tho last remaining ico brldgo on the White rlvor, and this was hardly accomplished ere the gorge broko through with a report like that of a hundred can non and went swirling away in tho swollen wa ters of that stream." In running survey lines In that far-away re gion, Mr. Rlggs says: "Rivers filled with danger ous quicksands havo to bo crossed, mountains scaled at tho risk of Hfo and limb, and then comes drudgory of crossing tho bottomloss swamps of tho low lying lands. Horses mlro down one after another and Ho thero with their heavy packs mutely gazing at the worn-out packer, who after exhausting every known means to get tho poor boast to Its feet gives vent to his harrowed feelings In ornate blasphemy." Tho question of provisions Is a vital one, be cause they go astray at times or a cache may bo rifled by Indians or wild animals. Tho civil en gineers and their partlos are seldom able to Hvo upon tho land. They have to depend upon their regular supplies, and moro than once a surveyor has been reduced to starvation rations and forced to mako a hurried trip back to tho nearest base. Indeed, an Instance of this sort occurred dur ing tho boundary survoy, and two men wcro dis patched back In a canoo by way of an unex plored river. They went off with a little bread and a small allowanco of bacon hardly enough to last for two days. On they went, hoping to pick up tho trail of a following relief party that had somehow been delayed. Fortunately, this was effected just before tho canoo turned an abrupt bend In tho river. Around that bond the stream dipped Into a pocket which probably would havo meant certain death. m Truo, In tho lowlnnds of Alaska tho summer Is hot and the days long, but up In tho mountains tho arctic chill is felt, and tho surveyors havo to go provided with garments to moot theso ex tremes, and above all must they have tho sturdi est of boots In which to battle over that rug ged country. Tho surveyor must check his lines oy suitable trlangulations, and to do this It will bo necessary for him frequently to stand or climb whero porll surrounds him well nigh on evory sldo. Indeed, ho will havo to hold on by his eyelids or bo something akin to a human fly, nnd besides getting himself thoro ho must drag along his Instruments. Rut tho sun is not ovorklndly In Alaska, and thero are heavy and well nigh continual rains, especially along tho coast. Tho survoyor seizes upon every cloar moment to tako panoramic pic tures from definite points, and from these, later In the shelter of Ills camp or the warmth of IiIb winter ofllco back In civilization, ho works out tho topography of his line and plans tho way for the engineers. In lieu of this, ho must toll along as boat ho can under tho climatic handicaps, and by menus of tho flashing heliograph ho sends his signals afar into tho haze and talks with his (lis tant fellows There Is besides tho menace of dlscaso This was instanced In tho caso of the boundary Burvoy 'Zff&c&rj&MV jnrrtzrt?j& when an epidemic of smnllpox broko out among tho Indians at Rampart House. "We gathorod In all tho Indians," said Mr. Rlggs, "forced vacci nation on them, isolated the diseased and issued supplies to the whole tribe of about two hundred. Ninety-two of tho natives developed tho fevor. It was an nnxlous timo, "Wo put all of the infocted Indians ou an Island in tho Porcupine and took away their boats so they could not get away. A dally In spection was made. 1 used tc carry a sack of cheap candy to brlbo tho kids to bo Inspected After n while they thought It great fun. Ro turning from among tho Infected Indians we would get Into an airtight tent, stick our heads out of nn opening, while tho wholo interior was filled with tho fumes of formaldehyde." During that expedition, sent out by the United States government under tho auspices of the United States coast and geodetic survoy, ono of tho best surveyors was stricken with pneumonia. Tho country was well nigh barren, and tho only natural fuel, and that scanty, was In the form of scrub willows. The sick man was virtually bound up In his sleeping bag, and for threo weeks was unablo, by himself, to get out of his extem porized bed. According to Mr Rlggs, "Wo gavo him everything wo had In tho way of medlcino, and still ho recovered." Heroism nnd tho tragic aro apt to go hand In hand In thus survey work, and yet tho public knows next to nothing about tho dangers faced by Its sorvants In that far-away region. Lot us clto a single Instance that occurred to ono of Mr Rlggs' details. It seems a small party of his associates landed on nn Island In the Alaska river and had tho mis fortune to have their canoo swept away by a sudden riso of water. Rinding a fow Btlcks of driftwood together to form a makeshift raft ono of tho men managed to work his way through the ley torrent to tho neighboring mainland. After threo days of wandering over precipitous moun tains and slippery glaciers ho finally managed to crawl to ono of tho triangular stations or marks. Ho had juirt strength enough to push tho signal out of plumb and then fainted away. Happily tho chief of the local party, somo dis tance away, while pausing for the clouds to pass, by chance turned his tolescope toward the de ranged signal, and finding It out of line dis patched somo of his peoplo In a canoo to rcstoro It. In this manner the exhausted man was dis covered and a rescue party hastened away to tho aid of his fellows on the Island. For that heroism In tho lino of duty tho man that brcastod that frigid stream became a physical and mental wreck. The government's railway will open up a very , rich country. According to experts tho wealth that has already been shipped out of tho region Is hut tho veriest scratchlngs from tho surface of this vast treasure house of nature. Rut tho road In Its building will have to overcomo many difficulties. Tho courago, grit and good red blood that has boon drawn upon In running the sur voy aro amplo evldonco of the character of tho obstacles that must be battled with In laying tho ties running the rails nnd springing bridges ns tho line advances. Even so, wo shall havo the routo In time, and tho achievement will add one more rocord to tho abounding capacity of our peoplo WOULD CALL THEM LANGLEYS i Government Airships Should be Named After the Late Smithson ian Professor and Inventor. St Tho reading world has become fa miliar with tho word "Taubo," and un derstands that It stands for n German aeroplane. Men read every day of flying machines that aro called a "V.'rlKht." a "Curtis," a "Hlerlot," and I'arnian." a "Bristol." a "Morano- Saulnler," and other names fastened to a 'piano by a builder or an aviator who has succeeded In fashioning a model differing from somo other mod el. No flying machine Is called a "Langley," in commemoration of tho creative and original service to avia tion rondered by tho Iato Prof. Samuel Plorropont Langley of Washington Two citizens of tho cnpltal havo Jolnod in tho suggestion, porhapB It- might even bo called a movomnnt in havo tho gonorlo nam "Lanelev" applfed to flying machlnos that aro heavier than air The suggestion seems to havo been brought forward flrat by Col. Archi bald Hopkins of Wnshlnglon, and Frank Warren Hackett has seconded tho motion, suggesting that perhaps tho commander In chief of tho army and navy, upon this subject being brought to his attention, might favor Colonel Hopkins' proposal and glvo directions that henceforth tho govern ment airships shall be called "Lang loys." Jfr. Hackett haB wrltton that "the unselfish devotion of tho lato Samuel Plerrepont I-ingloy to the ho lutlon of tho problem of aerial flight to tho discovery of tho principle has boen admitted and admlrod by all well-informed Americana and that our country ought to enjoy the honor that would attach to tho coming into uso of this term."

A study of tho wills of Englishmen and Amorlcans has boon niiulo by nn official at Somersut houso, whero Ib locnted tho principal registry for Groat Britain. This olllclal, while in Now York Inst year, examined tho wills of Hocral hundred wealthy and prominent persons who had resided In that city, nnd thereby was enabled to get information of value to tho British Income tax olllcc, which has bcou both ered by men who glvo it way their for tuno before thoy dio. thus avoiding tho Inheritance tax. Tho provision In tho American law Is similar to that In tho English law In such cases. Money or other prop erty given nwny "In contemplation of doath" Is subject to tho tax. But this Is dlfllcult to prove, aB was Illustrated in tho attempt mado In Now York to collect such a tax ou a $1,000,000 gift by tho late D. O. Mills to his daugh ter. It was shown by tho executors, by a letter wrltton by Mr. Mills, that it was his "usual ChrlstmaB gift," though It did not come, out nt tho hearing how many provlous gifts of tho kind had been mndo by him. Tho inheritance tax Is very heavy In Britain. In tho caso of the lato London banker, Charles J. Sofer Whitburn, who loft $7,400,000, tho statu collected, In duties, $1,185,000, notwithstanding that tho property went to tho son and other blood heirs. On somo legacies tho death tax 1b 25 per cent. English Rich Men Richer. Tho first point of Interest dovolopcd by tho Inquiry Is that tho average rich Englishman Is richer than tho avorngo rich American. This la shown by adding up tho fortunes of any 100 consecutive British wills and com paring tho total with that of any 100 consecutive Americnn wills, excluding from each list the men worth $1,100, 000 or over Tho difference is nlmoBt 100 por cent In favor of tho English man. Thirty English fortunes on tho list totnled $12,000,000, nn average of $400,000, whilo thirty Now York for tunes totaled $7,000,000, an nverago of $233,000 each.
