I'l.KASKI* WITH NORTH
Miss Kmma Rahmeman, a rich
California girl who has been spend -
itijc the summer at Skagway and
othef northern points, where she
was (fathering the material for her
new novel. "The Spell of the North,"
predicts a bright future for the
Northland as soon as people begin
to take a little more interest in agri
culture and kindred pursuits which
will tend to enrich the country in
stead of impoverishing it as at pres
ent by the removal year after year
of millions of its riches.
"It is popularly supposed, ' savs
Miss Bahmeman, "that the Yukon
is a country of continuous winter, of
blockades, and famine, and lawless
ieas There is plenty of romance
nd color in the country. It is true,
but the Yukon of today is a far dif
ferent plao from the region we
hear described in Robert Service's
vivid verses There are magnificent
farming la-ids. and the efforts which
have been made towards agriculture
already have been rewarded by
splendid results, vegetables In par
ticular being far firmer and having
a better flavor than those raised
farther sonth.
"The establishment of an experi
mental farm by the government
would pro.ide a simply and econ
omical mea.is of bringing the possi
bilities of the country to the fore,"
remarked Miss Bahmeman, "and as
the winters are very little colder
ihan the prairies, if as cold, it
should be an easy matter to Induce
settlement to some extent at least."
garians will surrender the Tesatailn
army and eacort it to the coast
where it will be transported to
Asiatic Turkey. The Bulgarians
will also evacuate Adrlanople upon
the payment of a sufficient war in
demnity and the conquered terri
tory will be surrendered.
The terms of peace demand the
international isolation of Constantin
ople and the opening of the Parden
elles to foreign shipping Saloniki
is to be made a free port and the
Turks are to nlwolutely withdraw
from Asin.
The returns which the pioneer
farmers had secured in marketing
their products were very large, ac
cording to Miss Bahmeman, and one
or two had made fortunes in the
manner that puts gold mining dis
tintly in the shade. This was on
account of the fact that high cost
of living was at its zenith in the
North ? Vancouver Sun.
WH'LDVT BEAR T(?
LEAVE OLD SKAOWAY
The following Item appeared in
the Whitehorse Star of the 15th:
Section Foreman M. Huntley of
Cowley, went to Skagwav last Satur
day with a half notion of accom
panying his son to their old home
in Michigan on a visit. On reach
ing the windy town which is locat
ed near the head of the approach
leading to Moore's wharf, young
Huntley, who is employed by the
W. P. railway at the ore bunkers,
decided he would continue work and
the father gladly returned to his
business the following Monday.
A cablegram was received this
morning from Mrs. A. C. Blanch ard
of Buffalo, N. Y., informing Mr.
Blanchard that a baby boy had ar
rived. Mr. Blanchard has already
cast the youngster's horoscope and
finds that he is going to grow up
and be a baseball magnate. Alex
ander, jr., was born on the fifteenth
of.the month, under the influence of
the constellation Perseus, or Cham
pion. the most potent of all gods in
the northern lodiac. You can't
beat that combination.

Alaska Northern Sale
Confirmed hy Receiver
It is learned from reliable sources
that Mr O. G. Laberee has dispos
ed of his entire Interest3 In the Al
aska Northern railway to the Can
adian bankers barking that com
pany. While the exact price receiv
ed is not known, it is said to b?'
over a million, probably $1,250,000,
as Mr. l#aberee Is reputed to own
a one-quarter Interest and the
price quoted to the government for
the road is said to be something
over five million dollnrs. A meeting
of the company will bo held early
in November, at which time his suc
cessor will be definitely decided up
on.
It is understood that the reason
the banks purchased Mr Laberee's
interest is that the time had arrlv
?>d for the distribution of th?? stocks
and bonds, the pool having expired,
and the brnk* desired to keep every
thing in close control in order to be
better able to deal with the gov
ernment. Mr. l.aberee ?v offered
every Inducement to remain In
charge, even after the sale, but de
clined, as his other Interests requir
ed his undivided attention.
Mr. I*beree first took charge of
this road at the time he was ap
pointed receiver of the Alaska Cen
tral railway and Tanann Hallway :
Construction company in October, 1
1908. l-etis than twelve months
later he succeeded in winding up
the receivership, after raining a
quarter of a million dollar* with
which the property was protected
\nd an additional twenty miles of
road built, extending the line to
Kern creek, on Turn again Arm
This was exceptionally quick work,
especially as receiver* have the
reputation of being loath to wind
up their lucnitlve positions Mr
l>aberee thereupon organised the
present Alaska Northern Railway
company, and since then has been
its president and general manager
In the face of the discouraging In
action of the government In con
structive legislation for Alaska,
and its equally discouraging action
in bottling up everything her? and
throwing all possible obstacle* In
the way of people who desired to
open the country up, Mr. I>aberee
has succeeded year after year In
financing the operation of the rail
road at least during the summer
months, even though at a yearly
loss to the company. Without the
annual operation of the railroad,
despite their high rates, the pres
ent mining development of our sec
tion have been passible. Mr. I<a
bereo deserves much credit for this,
and It is n matter of regret to his
friends that he retires from the
management of the company's af
fairs Seward Gateway.
