DIETRICH SAYS AID ALASKA Former Senator Adrocatei OoTiromeot Help for Railroads in Peninsula. TRADE POSSIBLE THROUGH GOOD LINES Says Senator Beveridce Predicts Passaae by .est Conaress ot Bill to Promote Develop ment of Northwest. Former Senator Dietrich of Hastings Is In the city Inspecting plans of the archi tect who Is preparing for an addition to Hotel Bostwlck at Hastings. Mr. Dietrich Is deeply Interested In the development ot Alaska. Speaking on this subject, he said: "While I have no financial Interest In any 1 scheme for railroads In Alaska, I think, now that the government has aided the Philippines by guaranteeing the interest on railroad bonds. It should, under proper re strictions, take similar action In the mat ter of a railroad In Alaska. "My recent trip to that coutnry, In which we coHsted from the southernmost point of Icy Cape and came back by way of Siberia, shows that the most feasible route Is from Valdea to Eagle. The government has forts at both places and the line could be used as a military route aa well as for com merce. Uy constructing a line from Valdea, on the coast, to Eagle, on the Yukon, the greater part of the trade of the British Yukon would be deflected to American soli. as well as that of the towns in United States territory. The proposed road would cross the Sannnah river at a point 300 miles below the head of navigation and this would give water communication to points now reached by devious routes to interior points. It will, through the Sananah, resell the new developments at Fairbanks which Is said to be one of the rlchent districts of Alaska. At Eagle the road will touch the Yukon sixty miles from Dawson. The river there Is much deeper and stays open much longer than the river above Dawson and that at least two months more river traffic can be obtained with Dawson than at present. Skirting the Copper river the road will tap valuable copper mines and some paying placer gold mines. The dis tance between Valdes and Eagle Is 4.'J feet. The most difficult problem to solve Is that of heavy snow at Valdea which might Inter fere with the operation of the line in winter, but this can be provided for. "The bill which I introduced In congress to aid In the development ot Alaska had the approval of the department of the Interior, the president and the senate com mittee to which It was referred. Senator Beverldge tells me that a similar bill will be proposed by the senate at the next session." POLICY GOOD TO DAY'S END Haling; Rendered by Judge Retells In Salt Involving- Daratloa f Insurance. Judge Estelle has made a ruling that a policy of Insurance on which the premium Is to be paid "on or before" a certain day holds good until the last stroke of the midnight hour on that day. The court's ruling was made In the case of the Richardson Drug company against the Prudential Insurance company. The drug company sued to recover something over $390 which had been paid as the yearly premium on a 110,000 life insurance policy held by the late James Richardson. This premium was due to be paid pn or before February 8 of each year. The Richardson company paid the premium before the 8th by check to St. Louis, and on the morning of February 8 Mr. Richardson committed suicide. Later the drug company sued to recover the premium. The Insurance company en tered a general demurrer, and It waa In overruling this that Judge Estelle gave his ruling as outlined.

Major General George M. Handull, now In command of the northern military division at St. Ixiuls, will go on the retired list Oc tober 8 and probably will be succeeded by Brigadier General t rank D. Baldwin, who will reach the age of retirement in the com ing spring. There may, however, be a hitch In General Baldwin s appointment, as he Is ranked by Brigadier Generals Fred D. Grant. J. Franklin Bell and Frederick Fun stnn. It is given out from Washington that Generals Grant and Funston have volun tarily relinquished their claims by relative seniority in favor of General Baldwin In order that the latter may reach the, rank of major general before his retirement and exercise the actual command of that rank for a short while. Such being the case. only General Bell stands between General Baldwin and the coveted additional star to his shoulder straps.
