construction be begun at once in accord with the Railroad Com
missions report, and that our Coal be opened for use.
Every town Council, and every Chamber of Commerce in
Alaska has sent wires and petitions to the President and Congress
to the same effect.
The cities of Seattle, Tacomaj Portland, San Francisco—and
a great many others as far East as Denver, Colorado—have joined
in the good work and are bringing all the pressure in their power
to bear.

with the Commission’s report to be introduced at the Special

that you will never have again in this section of the country.
I will sell you any lot in Chitina not already sold, up to
April 1st, 1913, for 100 per cent less than you can buy it 6
months from now.
The price of all lots has been reduced in order to give all a

The terms will be Vi cash, and the balance in six, twelve and
eighteen months.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—A business
man from Broadway was summoned
to court on an unusual charge. A
policeman testified that noisy crowds
of men collected at night in front of
|
John Carey's place because of four
lamps of about 5,000 candle power
that shone across the sidewalk. The
searchlights acted like an X-ray on
the clothing of women passersby and
men watched in such numbers as to
I
interfere with traffic.
Carey said he paid $11,000 a year
rent and sold automobile lamps. He
used the searchlights as advertise
ments.
“I don’t see what I can do. The
case is dismissed,” Magistrate Breen
said.
