will be beyond the purchasing power
of the masses.

study in Boston, which he is now

CHICAGO, Oct. 25—Charles R.
Crane, of this city, who is thoroughly
conversant with the Balkan situation
through visits to and residence in the
states during the last thirty-four
years, lias given out a valuable and
interesting interview. He believes
the present conditions warrant the
belief that the Balkans will at least
secure complete autonomy so far as
Turkey is concerned, provided what
he designates as the “great powers”
do not step in and spoil the oppor
tunity. The success of the Montene
grin arms in recent field operations
against the Ottoman forces indicates
the ultimate triumph of their cause,
in his estimation.
Turkish oppression in the Balkans
justifies, if there is ever justification
for warfare, a most determined fight
for freedom, Mr. Crane thinks. On
his last visit there, a year ago, he
encountered a situation which is in
tolerable to the world wide spirit of
liberty and which has brought about
the present decisions of the rulers of
the six states to contest for freedom
as long as there is a man left in the
land to fight.
The desire for the privelege of lib
erty is so strong that he thinks it
can never now be equaled unless by
overwhelming force of arms and de
vastating conflict.
The Montenegrins, Serbs, Mace
donians, and Albanians, with the aid
of the Greeks, are imbued with the
spirit of the men who have, all
through the world’s history given
their blood that they might be free
It is the spirit of the Crusaders of
t!ie French revolution and the Ameri
can rebellion.

E. H. Gillman who has been man
ager of the Chitina Cash Store for the
past year will have the support of
everyone with whom he has become
acquainted. The independence he
showed in helping to clean Chitina up
officially this spring has made him
a host of admirers. His long resi
dence in various parts of Alaska and
his practical experience as a miner
give him a comprehensive insight into
the needs of the country. He is as
completely free from the influence of
corporations and politicians as any
man who could have been nominated.
The people of Chitina and the sur
rounding country believe that the
legislators should be drawn from all
sections and in presenting Mr. Gil
man they do so with a full reliza
tion of his splendid qualifications
and also with the idea that the great
Copper river mining country is en
titled to representation in the new
Legislature.
