INVITATIONS TO TIE MIGHTY
HURRY LANOAHL RETURNS FROM IN EXPERIENCE IN THE SOUTH THAT PUTS
Hi MORE AND MORE IN LOVE WITH THE NORTH LUND
Harry J, Lantlahl, who went through
hero some months ago on his way down
east as special representative of the
Chamber of Comraerco of Dawson and
the Arctic Brotherhood of that city
bearing, in the latter capacity, invita
tions to three of the most distinguished
personages on the western hemisphere
to visit the north country, has returned.
The invitations as will be remembered,
were ban Jsotne and unique and, deliv
ered, represent an expenditure of a
thousand dollars each. They were ad
dressed to Earl Groy, governor general
of Canada, Premiet Laurier and Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Mr. Lttndahl personally delivered
these invitations although net in all
eases to the persons themselves, Kan
Groy ajd Mr. Kooscvelt bring both
absent on summer excursions ?t the
time he called. As has been announced
by wire Mr. Roosevelt is bound for
South Africa at the termination of his
term of aflice but Mr. Landahi had as
surances (hut both Earl Grey and Mr.
Laurier would accept the invitation*
next year. Tho incident, howevr, has
accomplished a purpose already In the
kterest awakened in the north country
and the attention attracted to the work
of the Arctic Brotherhood.
Mr. Landahi visited nearly every
city of note on the continent during his
trip and the more ho saw ot them the
more he is pleated that he Uvea no*.
there but bore. "Better a log cabin In
Skagway," he says, ' than a palace on
New York's Fifth avenue, if to havo
the latter I must have daily utder my
eyes the sight of 'a bread line,' as was
the case every day I was in New York."
Mr. Landhal ssys the heat was some
thing awful for much of the time be
was away, and this difference also adds
to bis pleasure in getting hack to the
land "where the people are free." He
saw people dropping on the streets
from beat and horses were lying two
and three in '.he length of a bloc* for a
time during his stay in Now York ?nd
tbo suffering in the east side was ap
palling. Mr. Lindshl will leave in
the morn ire for the inside.
