CIMI FAMINE BECOMES AWEDL
Money cannot buy coal at Seattle and weather is
colder than ever before in history of country-Furni
ture, barns, fences, shade and fruit tree3 being used
to keep houses warm : ?
| [Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Seattle, Jan. 15? There is intense
suffering on account of the terribly
cold weather that is prevailing here.
It is eight degrees above zero. It is
the coldest that has been experienced
on Puget Sound in the half century of
its history.
The worst feature of the situation is
the fact that money cannot buy coal.
There is none to be had. The wealthy
?re breakicg up furniture to beep the
fires going- Staeils, barns, fences and
vacant hjuses in all parts of the city
are being buioed. People are cutting
down shade and fruit trees and using
thorn for fuel.
There is little coal in the bunkers tnd
it Is selling at the rate of $2 far a 50
pound sack. It is iropt ssible to deliver
this at many parts of the city as the
teams cannot climb the hills.
All the schools in the city are closed.
At West Seattle the water wt.-rks are
frozen and people are melting snow for
Water and cutting down trees for wood
for their stoves.

RUM9RFD SAIL Of Mlf
PASS A CUSS
No Foundation In Fact So Far As Known,
For Talk? Officials Here Have Had No Word
From Out of Town At All
I It has been rumored about Skagway
; lor several days that the Guggenheim
interests have purchased the White
Pass or are about to purchase it. So
far as the Daily Alaskan has been able
to discover the only foundation for
the rumor is that such a course would be j
the logical sequence of Guggenheim's |
actions in the north? that is if the road
were for sale and the Guggenheims
ready to pay the sale price.
It is generally conceded that the
Guggenheims and J. Pierpont Morgan
I have bought the Heney and Rosene
roads out at Valdez and Cordova.
There is some evidence that they have
put up the money for Falcon Joslin to
pay oil the White Pass claims against
his Tanana Mines railway. They have
a lobby at Washicgton which is oppos
ing the granting of any subsidies for
Alaskan railroads, saying that they are
prepared to build the entire Alaskan
railroad system without government
aid. Their policy seems to be to con
trol the means of transportation to and
from their fast accumulating Alaskan
interests.
This being! the condition in the
various section* of Alaska and it being j
known that the Guggenheims have
large interests io the White Puss field?
probably larger interests in it than
in any other section of the North ? it
is not strange that it should be con
cluded that thev would buy the White'
Pass it they could get it.
So far as aoyone knows this lumored
sale or possible sale seems to be the
carefully thought out guess of some
one who has been thinking along ihese
lines.
W. B. King, auditor of the White
Pass and the head official of the road
now in Skagway, when asked about, it.
said:
' I never heard of such a proposition
until it was mentioned to me by local
people. So far as my information goes
there is absolutely nothing in the
talk."
At the present London quotations of
White Pass stock the W. P. & Y. R. is
valued at about $10,000,000. It is said,
however that only a limited quantity
of the White P. ss sti ck is availabe for
purchasers, and that its price is no
certain criterion as to what it would
cost to get- the property, if it were
possible to get it at all.
