SKAGWAY ALASKA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1913 PRICE 10 CENTM
EUROPE FEARS TURKS
HAVE CARDS UP SLEEVE
London. Jan. 23? Entire Europe
is pleased over the announcement
that the Turkish government had
made concessions to the Powers
by placing peace negotiations In
their hands. When the National
Assembly met In Constantinople last
Monday, there was apprehension
that the government intended to
order more troops into the field.
but the conciliatory not? received
by the Powers indicated a desire
to stop further fighting.
From many quarters there atlll
lingers a suspicion that the peace
talk by Turkey Is only a play to
gain time. Taking the actions of
Turkey in the past it la hard for1
some to believe that she hasn't a
card up her sleeve to slip Into the
game at some unexpected moment.

Mt. St. Augustine.
Situated near the entrance to Cook Inlet Is th.? Island of Augustine, one of the romarkably beautiful
spots of southwestern Alaska, upon that Island rises the mountain of St. Augustine to a height of
six thousand foot sheer from the waters edge. This mountain was at one time an artlre volcano, but
lonr. ago Its restlessness was stilled and It now stands out In magnificent and silent grandeur. The
tides of Cooks Inlet are among the highest In Ihe world, almost equalling those of the Ray of Fundy
and as they ebb and flow post this mountain they create Immense whirlpools and eddl?>a that are ter
rifying.
