"0VER-2EAL0US," SAYS GUGGEN
HEIM.
It is a frank statement that Robert
Guggenheim makes to the Post-Intel
llgencer man upon the occasion of his
being interviewed when setting up
offices in Seattle? a frank statement
in which Alaskans would like to be
lieve. He Joes not attempt to deny
the charges of illegal voting at Cor
dova but says" It was over-zealousness
on the part of the men engaged to
work for us If they took conspicuous
und partlzan part in the delegate eon
test We buy what we want where
ever we go. as is shown in the Klon
dike." he adds.
Of course It would be unfair to
suggest that this matter of buying
what they want applies as well to
vetes as to anything else-unfair
since Mr. Guggenheim says in this
case they dld'nt want them. Alas
kans would like to believe that the
Ouggenhelms were In this country to
exploit It by legitimate enterprise
and would not seek their ends
through the manipulation of local
politics. Moreover reason Is on that
side for surely he l? short sighted
who cannot see that they work
against their own ends lh such Inter
ference. creating a local prejudice
which far more than counterbalances
the favor they might gain even If
they won the election which they
did nt. However, the people of Alas
ka would be better assured In this
matter if the head of the great con
cern would issue mandatory orders
to their employe** io "NOT BE SO
OVER ZEALOUS"? to "leave It to
us to do out our politics In Wash
ington."
"The west," added Mr. Guggen
heim. "la going to be. in a short
time, the center of Investment. Here
it Is that money will pour In in un
limited quantities. Here it Is that
investments pay big. and there can
be no question as to the ultimate fu
ture of the country. Its agricultural,
mineral, timber and other resources
ar* enough to encourage the greatest
investment, for It will pay the big
gest kind of dividends.
? So far as Alaska is concerned,
i he Guggenheim interests will push
ahead, buying whatever they need
and always believing in the future
of the country.
"In the Klondike we have bought
everything that is held In the name
of the Yukon Gold Fields company.
So far as the Copper river is con
turned, the Bonanza mine is the Mec
ca of the company. We buy what
we want wherever we go. as Is -shown
hy the Klondike."
ALASKA'S GOLD SHIPMENTS.
For the eleven months ending De
cember 1 the aggregate of Alaska's
gold shipment* to Seattle was $18,
223; 756, as compared with $16,393,92$
for the same period In 1907. The In
crease amounts to nearly 12.000,000.
Receipts for November totaled $1.
021,052, as against *932,317 for the
same month last year.
The sharpest increase for any one
month was in July, when the receipts
reached $6,409,393, as against $3,383,
715 for the same month last year.
Only In two months, June and Octo
ber, did the record fall to show a sub
stantial increase over last year's ship
ments.
Students of the Alaska situation re
gard the showing thus made as ex
ceptional, and express the belief that
the record would have been much
larger if the dry season in the north
ern country had not interfered to
some extent with mining operations.
In any event the record shows
steady and substantial progress In Al
aska in mining operations, and is a
fair Indication of the energy *nd
thrift of the men who are working to
develop the resources of the north
ern country^? P.-I.
Are we to understand that the offer
of a job to Cortelyou by the bank in
which Rockefeller has his private ac
count Is another evidence of an al
liance of the administration with the
trusts?
It don't seem just like a square
deal to put thirteen men on a jury
to try a murder c%se: It In like pre
judging the business.
Little Abe Attell dld'nt last long
? but he might have ended it up like
a champion.

would be.

THE VERY BEST
The population of Alaska is luade
up of all classes and kinds of people
and now and then the prospector's
garb covers a man of most surprising
intelligence. A reporter on the Fair
banks Times going home one night
stopped to admire the beauties of the
aurora. To a man standing near he
remarked on the beauty of the scene.
The man agreed with him, but began
a description of the aurora as seen
from a point near Herschel island.
Says the reporter: When my com
panion had finished I looked at him
closely. I had not noticed that he
was thinly clad In a blue jumper and
overalls, and I had forgotten that the
night air was crisp and sharp. 1 had
noticed his beautiful language and nis
picturesque discription. His face was
Intelligent and suggested the scholar.
I thought I noticed him shiver and
invited him to drink. Before we
reached the swinging doors of the
Fairbanks, I ventured the question,
"Where is your alma mater?" Quiet
ly and in a matter-of-fact way he re
sponded, "Dear old Yale."

that these Hat Pins arc made outol real
live roses, changed entirely into metal
by > secret process, preserving every de
tail of the rose from which each pin is
made. They can not break, and willlast
forever. This discovery is without
doubt one ol the lost arts of the ancient
Kay ptians. They are the most beautiful
of all Hat Pins. No two are alike. Kift
ished in five colors, to conform to the
firevailinff fashions in millinery. Made
n six sizes, from the smallest rose bud
tothefullblownflower Theseplnsan
made by the genuine "DF.LAMOTHK"
secret process, the only process by
which an open rose can be perfectly
metalized. Don't buy an Inferior imita
tion. All genuine "DELAMOTHE
Metalized Real Ron- H at Pins" have
thi- name stamped on the pin.
