WHY NOT
Reasons fop Disbelief In j
White Pass Salo
Many thing* are pointed to by those j
who are close enough to the White
Pass management to make figuring [
better than guess work to justify them !
in their unbelief in the persistently I
reported sale of the railroad company's
northerc interests. Not the least of I
them is that while all this talk is going i
on, S. H. Grayes, piesident of the
company and one of its heaviest stock
holders, is out of communication with
the world. He is buried far in the in
terior of Egypt, where he has been for
weeks apparently far more interested j
in the Pyramids, the Sphynx and the
stamping ground of the human race
during the days of its earliest history,
than he is in the Guggenheims or auy
other matter of business.
It is urged, with better claims than
mere plausibility it must be admitted,
that, were there negotiations pending
for the sale of a property in which he
is so greatly interested, Mr. C! raves
woul.l be taking some part in the trad
ing.
It is further pointed out that the
managers of the road on the Pacific
Coast have heard nothing of a sale or j ,
of pending negotiations for a sale.
