I love him The business end of a

editorial end. and It mar he thrwagh
his infl?ei?\>e Alaska will be given
a litUe more consideration from the
Tlwe* than it has in the past Kd
itorially that publication has always

Hut the Times has never before had

Mr HVethon was surprised at
many things he saw and heard in
Alaska. He ?*? the flowers bloom

as luxurious a* any in the world
Potatoes and cabbage, beets and
turnips, berries and small frnits
*?i> here; people wore here as in
telligent ?s elsewhere. 'Homes wore
here with pianos, electric light*, tel

enough to convince hint that there
?????* more possibilities here t han he
had hitherto dreamed He didnt
artly say ^"hitherto' for he is an
?ld newspaper man and has out
grown such frivolity of speech
What he did say * as that he in
tended to come hack again and agai
UMil he bad seen all the wonders of
the North He was going bach and
tell Seattle merchants that they are
overlooking the greatest bet of the
age hy not paying more attention to
the Alaska trade He had seen on
the shelves of the Alaska merchants
roods from tv?rtland. San franc tsco
and Tacoma The latter was a
stint <bs? hart He observed that
much of the business which had
hitherto ? pet word, that! gone to
Seattle ?as being diverted to T* co
