REYNOLDS MAKES A STATEMENT
Henry D. Reynolds sends to the
Alaskan a carefully prepared a-^d vol
umluous statement for publication
relative to himself and the iilTairs of
tho K-ynoIds-Alaska-Devolopmept com
pany and other interests promoted by
uim in Alaska. The statement is loo
ong for publication io thoAluskan, bur
the followiug will givo the gist of the
ma'ter to those inti rested:
' Tho onl ' way that I can account
for tho repeat^'l persecution? for to
ray mind it has ccascd to be prosecu
tion? i3 that interests hostile to the
Reynolds-Alaska System consider it
advantageous to them to embarrass me.
"The fact will be readily recalled
that five of my workmen on the Akas
ka Home railway were shot down last
year, and one of them killed, and later
the underwriting contract with the
T&coma Syndicate was canceled under
the pressure of ? hostile business
interests, which coming at tne time
of the panic last October seriously em
barrassed my financial plans, and was
the direct causo of the suspension of
operations.
"Since lost October I have had am
ple evidence of continued hostility to
tuy interests, both personal and corpo
rate, in every move which I have seen
tit to make to protoet the interests of
iny stt>ckholdets.
"To my positive knowledge not a
siugle stockholder among the 1.700 in
the Keyuolds-Alaska Development
company, or the :~mH> in the AJaska
Home railway ha9 made any complaint.
1 against ma although strenuous efforts
were mnde by government officials to
have them do so.
"The financing of the Reynolds-AI s
ka Development company and the
Alaska Home railwity was on the clean
est possible lines and uO mlstatemcnt
of facts wns ever made with intent to
deceive in any literature. That wc
wore disappointed In some of our ex
pectations is but incidental to nil sim
ilar enterprises of such magnitude, but
the intrinsic value of our properties
cannot be seriously questioned.
"1 have reliable engineers' reports
which provo every statement regarding
the mines, their value and the develop
ment work reported to the stock
holders as having been accomplished
"You will recall the faot that the
specific counts in the original indict
ments brought against me were thrown
out by the judge on demurrer on mo
tion of my attorney, Mr. Thibodenu.
"It is a strange coincidence that a
now indictment should be found just
when 1 have succeeded In securing the
co-operation and dependable support
of gentlemen wbose resources guarantee
the re-financing of both the Reynolds
Alaska Development company and the
Alnska Home railway. This may be
merely a coincidence, but I hive been
creditably informed that tin; orders
emanated from Washington, and it
will be a part of my Immediate duty to
ascertain tho why and the wherefore of
such action."

ICopyrlglit, IOC'S, by American Press Asso
elation:]
"So you're from Pistourod, stranger
Well, i want t' know. 1 was born am!
brought up there, hut 1 hain't seen th?
place in twenty year. Is ole Younket
ilvln' ylt?"
"No, but Ills darter Is. ami a mighty
lino woman to. She's got the biggest
ami best stocked facni in the county
and plenty o* money In (be bank."
"Want f know. Is she married?"
"No; she hain't no use fer a man
except to make money out of him.
Cun't any of 'em git the better of bet
lu a trade."
"Want t' know. How did she git bci
start? When I lived In IMstonrod ole
Vounker's farm wasn't inore'u seventj
acres, tifty cleared, and the stock was
one spavined borse and a cow."
"That seventy acres lie's growed to
a thousand now, all cleared, two bis
barns full o' grain and stock. Sal rev
Younkers turned out to be a heap good
manager."
"Dew tell? How'd she do it?"
"Waal, she got her start when she
was 'bout twenty yeaes old and purty
as a brau' new ntowln' machine. 'Bout
that time most <>' the young ineu In
the neighborhood wanted to marry
her. Far back as 1 kin remember 1
beam all the wlmniln folks and most
o' the men tallcln' 'bout two young fel
lers that was both bound to git lier.
They said Salrey bed agreed to take
the l>est man <>' the Owo. As the way
they was to And out which was the
best man Salrey set 'em a Job. The ole
mau hed Just died, the ole woman
wasn't no good, and there wasn't 110
one to do anything except Sarey, and
she didn't hev nothbf to do it with
except her good looks, and good looks
In a gal don't count except to git a
husband that's worth suthln'. But
there wasn't no Rich lu Boulder coun
ty, so It was a cold time for Salrey.
"Howsomedever, she said that slncc
her ole pop bad died anil left her and
her mother in a bad way she'd got tc
hev a mau as could build up the farm.
Ef she got a lazy galoot to set roun'
and whittle It 'ud be mighty hard on
her. It happened t" be plowin* time.
She tole Zeb Mower and Jake Marks
that whichever could pk>w ten acres
fust she'd marry. Jiist as you said,
there wa'n't but fifty ncres cleared, and
twenty o' this needed plowin'. She di
vided 'em into two eqoal parts, one fot
Zeb and t'other for Jake. Both on 'em
was awful bent on gittln' her, and
their pride was teched. Besides, nei
ther was willln' to refuse on acccunt
o' t'other. Salrey had to borrow two
horses fer 'em and one plow. She
started 'em one tine April' mornln'. I
was there, with a lot o' neighbors, to
see 'em start, and all the timo they
was plowin' people was conilu' and
golu' watehln' 'em, while Salrey was
a-smilin' on both of 'em and brlngiu'
'em out things to eat and drink.
"Waal, when they couie to the eud o'
the match it was a tie. Both got
through ut the same time, and both
fell down exhausted. Salrey give 'em
both a drink and tole 'em they was the
Uuest fellers she ever seen. She seem
ed awful sorry, though, that one on
'em hadn't come out ahead, for she
said It put her In a fix. She couldn't
marry neither of 'em nohow. So they
asked her to let 'em try ag'ln. She
said she'd give 'em an easy Job next
time. She give each on 'em twenty-five
acres to plant. They was glad enough
to git off so easy, but when they was
ijlttln' (p the en<I o' the Job Salrey tuk
sick with ueurology and wasn't tnere
to see the linish. Both of 'em claimed
that they pot through fust, and there
they was ag'ln.
"Sairey was put out with bcin' pes
tered by 'eiu and wouldn't hev nothin'
more to do with neither of 'em. But
'long 'bout harvest time she relented
and agreed to give 'em auother trial.
She said whichever got half the crop
into the barn fust was tho man she
wanted, and she kinder hinted that
there was one 011 'eiu she did want
mighty bad, but it wouldn't be fair for
her to tell which. So they went to
work on a third trial. This time just
as they was glttin' to the end o' tho
Job they both tuk sick, and Sairey had
to Qnish It herself. Nobody knowed how
they come to sicken both at once, and
so mi? was mean enough to hint that
Si'lvey had given 'em some rum with
pizen In it. They wa'n't sick long, but
when they got well the Job was finish
ed without 'em. So she didn't take
neither of 'em nohow.
"That's the way Sairey got her start.
She growed a line crop as didn't cost
her nothin' and put the money all into
the farm. They say she got the bal
ance of her land cleared In some slch
fashion, but 1 don't know nothin' 'bout
that. Leastaways she uot only put
her farm lu payin* condition, but be
gun to buy Jinin' laud. She's forty
year old now and good lookin' ylt All
the wlderers and old bachelors there
abouts wants to marry her, and I be
lieve She could git up a plowin' or a
mowlu' match among 'ein today if
wiie wanted to; but, laws, she hain't
got 110 use for 'em. I axed her onct
why she didn't take a husband. She
looked at me surprlsed-llke and an
swered: 'What would I do with him?
lie'd ouly be lu my way.' "
"But, say, neighbor, what makes you
look so sorrowful?"
"You was telliu' 'bout Zeb Mower
and Jake Marks, wasn't you?"
"I was."
"They was both at the soft age 'bout
gals, wasn't they?"
"'Bout twenty-three or four."
"1 guess they'd both of 'em ought
to been planted In the town buryin'
prouu'."
"What makes you think that?"
"Cos I was one ou 'em."

Posters.
rosters took their name from the
fact that in former times the footways
of London streets were separated from
the drives by a line of posts on which
advertisements were displayed.
Mascots.
Mascots have had their place in the
world for many generations. Oats, as
with the ancient Egyptians; grasshop
pers, as in Italy, and various other
specimens of animal life have In their
time been counted as sacred or lucky
by different peoples.
Peanuts.
Arachldes, or peanuts, are imported
into France from east Africa, the Brit
ish and Dutch East Indies, Argentina,
Algeria, Senegal, Australia aud the
United States. Those Imported as nuts
In the shell yield edible oil, while de
corticated peanut kernels produce in
ferior grades of oil, which are used
mainly for soapmaking.
