PARIS, Jan. 28. — Anti-German
demonstrations occurred in lamounne,
Switzerland today, great crowds con
gregating, hooting the Germans, and
it was only through drastic measures
taken by the police authorities that
serious harm did not result. The fight
centered at the railway station, where
a group of Germans, surrounding a
German flag, which the mob was
trying to haul down, were attacked
with canes, stones and fists. The po
lice were compelled to draw their
swords, and charge the crowd before
the endangered Germans could be
rescued.

Dr. (loo. Dickinson and wife, of
Ketchikan, who are on a visit east,
gave an interview to the Daily Pan
tagrnph. at Bloomington, 111., which
bristles with enthusiasm of this
! northland. and furnished a few thrills
to those "ho have not ventured out
j side of the bounds of the middle
west, a few excerpts of which follow:
j follow:
Mrs. Dickinson was asked if Alas
ka contained many women. "Alaska
is a paradise for women.” she said.
“Why, we have suffrage, and it is
wonderful the courtesy which Is
I shown the women by the men there.
| One would think that in such a coun
try, drawing so many men who are
compelled to live hanl lives, women 1
would bp treated with less consider
ation than other places. The fact
is that it is just the opposite. No
man ever thinks of seeing women
I stand in a street car and in every way
! they are shown every consideration
and courtesy which could he asked
for. It’s a paradise for women.”
Asked about the industries. Dr.
Dickinson remarked that, though gold
was thought to be the great source
! of wealth of Alaska, the fact was that
'many other fields of wealth were be-,
| ing opened every year. The copper j
i mines are among the best in the!
i country, while the fisheries furnished!
j employment for thousands. Or. Dick
l inson has interested himself in a j
quarry of marble, which tlic United |
: States geologists after an examination
stated to he of a quality even better
than that of the famous stone of
Italy. Many thousands of dollars have
been Invested ill tbis new found
t source of wealth. The stone is ship
ped on board vessels to the United
States and distributed throughout the
!
country.
RoJhantic stories are told which
rival the most thrilling of those of
the story books: in fact the doctor
knew and had dealings with the cor
! rupt judge and the preacher about
whom was woven the great story of
Alaska by Hex Beach. Dr. Dickinson,
in bis seventeen years' residence in
the north, has staked many a poor
down and outer, who went to the
Klondike to return no more. A few
miles from where lie lives a man
; whom he staked at one time holds a
claim which is unique in that the
owner and a helper are all that are
needed to work it. At one time he
had an opportunity to sell out for
$100,000, and now works the mine only
; when he needs the money. He is j
| waiting for a big price. The man j
I crushes his own rock, washes the I
| gold himself and thinks nothing of!
I getting from three hundred to a thou
sand dollars worth of the golden me
tal in a very short time.
Dr. Dickinson says that description
fails to do justice to Alaska, and that
the country will be one of the great
est resorts in the world one of these
days. The fishing, hunting and recre
ation which the country affords can
be duplicated in no other spot on the
globe, and that the unlimited resour
ces which He untouched in the bosom
of the territory will furnish the means
of building the country into a great
commercial state.
