bought by the Orand Trunk Rail
road While I do not know the
source of your information, your
publication has been misinformed as
there Is no foundation whatever to
I l>e report. There are positively no
Decollations whatever under way be
tween the White Pass Route and
the Urand Trunk Railroad, or for
that matter, any other line for the
transfer of the property. We are
not now considering nor do we ex
pert to consider in the future the
sale of the property. Quite to the
contrary, we have selected a site
and wiU proceed immediately to con
struct a Hrst cHss tourist hotel at
Atltn, we are succeefully operating
a mining and development company
and the last year's work In develop
ment of the natural resources con
\ is u nus to the White Pssb Route has
demonstrated beyond peradventure
the Industrial permanency of this
region Therefore we would not
even care to consider an offer to

also offered to transport exhibits

hardier flowering plants seem to
have found their natural envlron
m?nt and the care taken by the

!of nature's beautlea hard to find
anywhere outside the tropics Skag
way peopl- are Justly proud of their
flowers and generous in permitting
t hoi r neighbors to enjoy their beau
ties with them, sending oot loads
of them w'thout asking for compen
sation whenever there is demand or
desire for iheni.
While Hiosl of the flowers produc
