Saconu anil Third Districts
Will Fight Shonp
Wright Hurlbert. a banker and min
ing man ol Nome and Fairbanks,
Ala?k?, in an interview with the Se
attle Post Intelligencer says:
"The people of the interior of Alaska
are going to make a strong tight this
year to obtain a man from the interior
as delegate to C0Qs?ress and gave out
the following statement:)
"The residents of the interior are
very mui'h opposed to a delegate to
congress being chosen from Southeas
tern Alaska as they thiulc the people of
the latter district are practically run
ning the country at the pres?nt time.
Their reasons for this are various. The
principal me is that the interior people
want a railroad uext year running up
near the navigable waters of the \ ukon
river to opoo up the vnst country in
that part of Alaska, t'he first Alaskan
district, which is in the southeastern
part, is coing to mak<* a strong tigl t to
send Sho'ip to cou^ress. while the
second and third districts around Nome
acd Valde- and Fairbanks have decided
to make an equally strong tight against
Shoup. It is possib'e taat the latter
two districts will compromise on one
man in order to dcteat Shoup. While
the people of the southeastern part of
Alaska !.ave al*ay> djne many f ivors
for those in tbe interior, they are at
present indifferent to whether a rail
road w:ll pass through the interior or
not. If the :nterior obtains a road the
country alon s the Yukon. ;the|miner ?!
wealth of which Is very great, will bei
more than doubled and will prove a
ijreat advantage to Seattle.
??This year is coin* to be a record
breaker ir: mineral proJuction," said
Mr. Harlbert. "More gold will be
turned out of the country around Fair
banks c his year than ever before unless
the water gives out."

NOME WILL PRODUCE
FOUR MILLION
Nome, June ^0.? It seems more than
probable that the winter's output for
Nome district alone will reach more
than $4,000,000, which has been the
heretofore estimated spring cleanup
for the entire peninsula. Few have
even given a thought to the vastness
in rross metal of such a tidy sum.
However, if this cleanup could be
coiued into twenty-dollar gold pieces
and stacked on the beach, it would
make a glittering column reaching
higher than Anvil Rock. The Che
ehakos of the south might bring the
Alaska building from Seattle and place
it where Anvil Uock stands and yet the
mass of double eagles c^uld cry out I
from their superior height.
The past season has been the most
active, and altogether successful for
winter mining in the history of the
camp. The wonderful increase in
production seems almost beyond belief
when the conditions under which the
miner has labored are taken into con
siderat>on.

How to Break up a Cold
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severv cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To do this however, prompt action is
necessary. The first symptoms of a
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse
watery discharge from the nose, and a
thin, white coatine on the tongue
When Ciiaiuberlai-'s cough remedy is
taken every nour on the first appear
of these symptons, it counteracts the
ellect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to a healthy condition within a
day or two For sale by Win. Hritt,

The Hatch Will
tOrliclnal.]
Old man Hatch had lived his life as
a woman hater, and now that he wa9
about to die he had no chick or child
I to whom to leave the estate that had
been In the family for many years.
The only available relative was his
nephew. Raymond Hatch, who Inherit
ed his uncle's dislike for women and
who at his own death would not be
likely to leave an heir. Against this
the old man undertook to provide. He
left the estate to Raymond on condi
tion that he marry within one year
after ooming into possession. Six days
after making the will the testator died. I
Raymond on hearing the will read
was delighted till he came to the clause
requiring his marriage; then his coun
tenance fell. Like most women haters,
within the depths of his heart he had
the Image of an ideal woman whom he
never expected to And. However, since
there was now the spur of a fortune to
drive him on, he started out in a hunt
for a girl whom he could love. Since
Raymond was a line fellow with a
fortune he found plenty to choose front.
Girls were thrown at him like hail
stones. There were pushing girls, mod
est girls, bad girls, good girls? indeed,
girls of all kinds.
Now, the chances are that when a
woman hater falls in love it will be
with some helter skelter girl Instead
of a steady, reliable woman who can
be surely counted on to make a good
wife. So it was with Raymond Hatch.
He fell before the charms of Grace
Maryott, as graceless a flirt as ever an
gled for man. If there was a serious
thought in her head it did not appear.
There was no prnuk of which she was
not capable. With it all was a certain
indescribable witchery that fascinated
men where sterling qualities would
have had no effect. Such girls some
times when they tind themselves con
fruiucd wiili ttie serious problems of
wife and lumber make very good
wives, but uey are uncertain.
Raymond would have liked to keep
the secret of his Inheritance, but eligi
ble young men with fortunes cannot
hide them, ami Raymond's fortune was
a widely known fact. Miss Maryott
knew all about it, but had the effront
ery to pretend that she supposed him
to be a poor man, while Raymond had
the stupidity to InMleve her. Raymond
did not meet the girl till within two
months of the time of expiration of the
year fixed by the will for matrimony,
but during these two months a great
deal was accomplished. The truih is
Miss Maryott left Mr. Hatch very little
to do In the matter. These tlirts know
men better than the steady, modest
women do, and are aware that a man
does not object to being courted by u
woman for whom lie does not have
positive dislike. DesUles. dirts have a
way of backing an. I tilling that is puz
zling. Miss Maryott blew hot and cold
until she got IIatc*i in a fever of un
certainty. On several occasions when
she was blowing li )t he tried to get In
a proposal, but she always contrived
to head him off. One week before he
must marry or lost- his inheritance he
was still uncertain ot his fate.
At this time Miss Maryott suddenly
became apparently very pliable. Hatch
had been reproving her for trifling
with him. and >he appeared so eon
trite that, taking advantage of the op
portunity. he blurted out his proposal.
To bis astouisbment she reruseu nim.
It seemed to Iiiii) that the bottom bud
droped out of the universe.
But when it cnmn to tbo reason for
her unexpected action the girl unblush
ing!}' told him that It would be unwise
for two people to marry both beiny
unendowed with worldly goods.
Hope sprang back into the lover's
breast, and be told her of Ills uncle's
will and its important condition.
Then came the most surprising blow
of all. Miss Mar.vott looked at him
with well affected surprise and coolly
asked him if he considered her one to
marry for money. He pointed out the
want of logic In such a conclusion, but
with no effect. The girl told him that
he must look elsewhere for somo one
to help him secure his fortune. Her
heart was too sacred to be used in any
such mercenary manner, whereupon
Hatch declared that his fortune might
go to charity or the dogs for all he
cared and left her.
At the last moment the heir prospec
tive was approached by Miss Wyiuan,
a friend of Miss Maryott's, who argued
with him the folly of letting a fortune
go that might as well be secured. She
advised Hatch to comply with the pro
vision of the will by marrying some
old woman who had not long to live.
Hatch was desperate and did not care
what he did. Miss Wyman agreed to
Introduce him to a woman of eighty
who could not possibly live a week.
Hatch consented, and arrangements
were made accordingly.
It was not till 10 o'clock of the day
the limit of time fixed by the will ex
pired that Miss Wyman kept her prom
ise and Introduced Hatch into a room
where on a lounge, propped up by pil
lows. an old woman, wrinkled, hollow
checked, snaggle toothed, was waiting
to receive him. A clergyman had been
summoned, and there was nothing to
do except for Hatch to sign a paper
agreeing to pay to a relative of the dy
ing woman a sum of money in com
pensation for her accommodation. The
paper was signed, and the marriage
ceremony was performed. Hatch was
about to withdraw when Miss Wyman
?uggested that he remain for the wed
ding breakfast. He recoiled with hor
ror, but the lady led him Into another
room, where she kept him waiting for
a few minutes, when folding doors
opened, and there, beside a well laden
! table, stood his bride, the merry, be
i witching Miss Maryott
Mrs. Hatch astonished the world by
making a most estimable wife.
