JOHN RBSENE. RAILROAD BUILDER
TELLS OF PLANS FOB FUTURE
John Rosone got bai'k to Haines
last Saturday night from the long
hike from here to Dawson, via Rainy
Hollow, Dalton Post, l^ko Kluane,
White River and the Yukon return
in# out via Whltehoree. A little over
a month was consumed on the trip.
Mr. Rosone returned enthusiastic
o\ or the country he had traversed an
the possibilities the immense terri
tory will some day reveal to the pub
Ik-.
In speaking of the trip to a repre
sentative of the Pioneer Press, Mr.
Rosone said In part:
"Mineral wealth along the entire
route, farming and grazing land witty
out end, for sheep and stock would
thrive in that land. In fact the pos
sibilities of sheep raising struck me ,
most forcibly. No where have T seen
a land that has a more promising fu- '
ture In this direction, now that this
great, industry is being crowded out
of lukota and Montana, owing to the
dry terming that is taking Us place, i
The susteuance is there for many
millions of sheep; the supply is'
practically inexhaustible ? the food
that they thrive ou In Winter in
Northern Europe ? alder and birch
boughs dried ? is there In unlimited
supply, and In that country it la not
even necessary to cut and dry it a*
they do in the old country, on accoun
of th? dryness of the winter.
"Where this land is cleared," con
tinued Mr. Itosene, "wild grass grows
up in a season, making pasture for
countless herds. I don't kuow as much
about she$>p raising as some, but 1
shall soon know more, for I intend to
give -this matter some study and 1
will give the land a trial, and will
place a hundred or two head of sheep
on this land for a test. The summers
are dry and warm anit the winters not
nearly so severe as in Dakota and
Northern .Montana, and I am more
than certain that the trial will prove
successful. In those wonderful val
leys, winter wheat and rye will surely
ripen and mature, and were it not for
the minerals that abound, this alone
would some day be the cause of this
country being settled. The mineral

wealth will draw them, but they will
nee the agricultural possibilities, and
farms will spring up all over these
fertile valleys.
"The building of a railroad through
this territory would be an easy under
taking. No whore have I seen an
easier grade, practically a water grad
all the way after passing Rainy Hol
low, and for stretches of 50 to 75
miles rails could be laid, on a straight
line, no curves, and no grade for the
main line. For some of the side lino
perhaps the grade would be a factor
to contend with, but nothing difficult
whatever. With such a roadbed in
the future it will be but a three day
trip from Seattle to Fairbanks, with
fast steamers to bring you to Haines
in 48 hours, of course not making
long stops at other towns, It would
be but a 24 hour trip from Haines
to Fairbanks, a distance! of 750 miles.
"We win do considerable work next
year. Just to what extent It Is Impos
sible to say at this time, but we will
continue on a much larger scale than
during the present season.
"I will probably be ready to return
south by the end of the week or the
first of next week, and will go Into
this matter most thoroughly.
"The trip through was much easier
than I expected and we encountered
no severe weather. It being dry all
but two days, horseback most of the
way, and where practicable, we used
a canvas canoe to cross streams,
which though deep and of some widtj
present no difficulties for road build
ing, the material for all bridges beini;
in the country. At one time when
crossing the Donjak River our hors
es got Into swimming water and we
were carried down stream quite a
way, but outside of a little wetting,
suffered no danger from the exper
ience, though of course the matter
could have been serious. Mr. Birk
inblne Is coming out with the horses
and will go over some of the ground
that we were unable to cover on our
trip In. and he should be out by the
end of this week.
"I am well satisfied with what I
have seen and astonished at the pos
sibilities which the land presents. It
will certainly some day make a great
farming country; of the mineral wealth
we are all aware." ? Haines Pioneer

F. A. Sutton, Hoyl ami Wert Sta ,
Salem, Ore., says: "For ten or twelve
years, kidney trouble wa<* the plM**"
of my life. I suffered Intensely from
a pain In the small of my back and
was often anable tn move. I doctor ;
er and tried a number of remedies,
but to no avail, and I was in a bad
way when I procured I)oan'g Kldiwy
Rills. They benefitted me at onc*>
and after I had taken the content*, I
was free from every symptom of W4- !
ney complaint. My health Is now
of the best and for that reaaon I can
not recommend Doan's Kidney Pills i
too highly. " (Statement given Jan '

On Nov. .22, 190* Mr. Sntlon eon

"I willingly reiterate all 1 have said
