WHAT ALASKANS
For a few hours yesterday and
last night Anchorage entertained a
modern Croesus in the person of
Chas. Thorley, a power in the finan
cial circles of New York city. Mr.
Thorley is connected with the Har
riman people in the business world
and stopped ofT at Seward for a
week prior to making the round trip
to Anchorage on the Admiral Farra
gut. He is a personal friend of the
Bradley Brothers, who were the
backers of Dr. Cook on his little ex
cursion to the vicinity of the north
pole, that has since become notori
ous and caused a world-wide discus
sion. Mr. Thorley described the in
side passage trip from Seattle as
wonderful and while he thought that
perhaps Anchorage was too well ad
vertised by its own people he could
readily see that there were wonder
ful opportunities in this part of Alas
ka and would recommend the trip to
his New York friends, more particu
larly J. tV. Harriman, whom he
I thought might be influenced to tisit
Anchorage this fall. In speaking of
: general conditions as he saw them
Mr. Thorley said that ‘your home
I people overlook one of the important
resources of your delightful coun
try; you are all after gold, when as
a matter of fact you should pay more
attention to the farming Interests,
, the dairy, fruit and food stuff and
several other interests that are lying
dormant only waiting for the man
of action and ingenuity to disclose.”
His remarks in regard to the labor
situation of this entire country were
original and his comment on the at
tention Alaska was receiving from
the government were well put—Mr.
Thorley said, “You have been sadly
neglected.” Whether there was any
thing personal in his remarks or not
is not known, but he did mention
that Alaska was badly in need of
better roads. Isn t it wonderful I
what powers of discernment some |
people have? Mr. Thorley is cer
tainly a man of force and it is easy
to understand why he has amassed
a fortune and is able to clip coupons
derived from the revenue of "The
Times” building and other valuable
New York real estate. He spoke of
Tim Sullivan and “Diamond Jim
Brady" as casually as we would
speak of Ole Olson or the "Gold Nug
get” Kid and his references to the
financial kings bordered on familiar- j
ity. He said it would be Wilson for
another four years, advancing some
good arguments in favor and hand
ling the rebuttal creditably.
Mr. Thorley may have possessed
the big, black cigar but he didn’t
pass them around and he was very
entertaining, exceptionally well post
ed and a delightful conversational
ist. He expects to return direct to
Seattle and after a stop over in Chi
cago will reach New York city about
the first of August just when the
days are so delightfully cool and
refreshing and the nights perfect for
rest and quietude and it isn’t so aw
fully far to the New Jersey mos
quito.
This trip to Anchora'ge will prob
ably result in Mr. Thorley making
another trip to this country accom
panied by some of his friends, and
while he did not mention the fact
his second trip will result in mate
rial investment in this section.
Mr and Mrs. Ike Bayless gave a
very pleasant dinner to Mr. Thorley
at the Frisco cafe and Miss Fowler
and S. D. Maxwell were guests in ad
dition to the guest of honor—Chas.
Thorley,

NEBRASKA HARVESTING 74
MILLION BUSHELS OF W HEAT
LINCOLN, Neb., June 2b.—Ne
braska's great annual wheat crop
harvest has begun. The largest
wheat crop in the state’s history is
being gathered—such a crop as the
state did not even dream of ten
years ago.
Between 71,000,000 and 74,000,
000 bushels of winter wheat is the
estimate of the state's labor bureau,
which also estimated that 7,000 ex
tra farm hands were needed for the
harvest.
Besides this, some spring wheat is
raised in the northern section of the
state, but this amount is relatively
small and its harvest will begin in
two or three weeks.
The Hessian fly did some damage
this year as usual, but the pest was
only in certain sections and there
only in small spots Les3 damage
by the Hessian fly was done this
year than last.
Hail also did slight damage, some
fields being completely devastated,
but this loss, too, was relatively
small.
The wheat crop of Nebraska this
year, it is estimated, will exceed that
of last year by about 10,000,000
bushels.
