DO YOUR DUTY.
That it is expected that a large
amount of travel will lie directed to
wards Alaska the coming summer is
evident lo the provisions which arc
being made b> the steamship com
panies to handle the trade which it is
expected will be larger owing to the
excursion travel to the coast in con
nection with the Kan Krnneisco expo
sition.
In answer to several letters sent by
interested parties In Nome to John II
Hunch, the general freight and pas
senger agent for the Alaska Steam
ship Company at Seattle, regarding the
possibility of having the steamer Vic
toria make special excursion trips from
Nome, sometime during the summer,
to Bering straights, Diomede Islands
anti the Siberian coast. .Vir. Bunch re
plied as follows:
"1 am obliged to advise that i do not
think that the Victoria could under
take to make such a trip i in account
of the excursion travel to the coast next
season In connection with the San
Francisco exposition, we exp*/1 to
have heavy excursion travel to Alaska
and are trying to have the Victoria !
make two special excursion trips to
Nome and St Michael, returning abmg
the const by way of I'nalaska and
and Southwestern and Southeastern
Alaska points. These trips will make
the Victoria trips longer than usual,
ar il. I think, will take up so much time
that it will be impossible for her to
figure out time to visit the Siberian
coast If however, we find in figuring
out the schedule, that we could urrnngo
to have hoi make a trip from Nome
to Siberia. Bering Straits and Diomede
Islands: will tie glad to advise you in
advance when the trip can be made
and what rates we would be obliged to
charge for handling passengers."
Whether the people of Nome bestir
themselves or not there will be many
people visit us the coming summer be
cause we will be on tbe line of the
excursions outlined and Nome will la
one of tlie points of interest which will
be touched.
It is to enlarge this movement and
to prominently place before the tourists
who visit the coast this summer, some
of tlie attractions of the North and in
torest them sufficiently to Induce iheni
to come to Nome that the people of
Nome should interest themselves
We need have no fear in being able
to satisfy tlie tourists who happen to
come They will find abundance to in
terest themselves once they are among
us and as has been abundantly de
monstrated by those who have ex
tended their trips to Nome
We have much that satisfies the tour
ist and all that is necessary to attract
many here during tlie coming and suc
- ceiling summers is by concerted iction
in placing proper literature within
reach of the tourists who will visit the
'\yosltion this summer
The tourists are pleasure seekers
and are looking for the unusual and
those things which are beyond the
range of their former experiences and
observations and are not looking for.
not do they care for, those things which
make up tlie petty annoyances of our
local affairs and troubles of which they,
perhaps, have much in kind wherever
they may hale from or whatever sta
jtiori in life they may fill They travel
1 10 escape these things and even the
; - rudities of things which they observe
11 our local affairs may contribute to
their pleasure.
It is admitted that it might tie much
easier to keep people away from here
Ilian it is to induce them to come, but
vet such is not in the line of progress
nor a manifestation -if a public spirit
in tlie community.
THE FLAMES SPREAD
The pressure uf German diplomacy
upon the Turkish government has pre
vailed and wo have the tenth power
swept into the Kuropean conflagration.
Italy. Greece. Roumania. and Bulgaria
bang dizzily on the rim anti it is prob
able if not virtually certain that each
in turn will lie engulfed.
This will mean that literally all Rit
rope except the Iherian and Scandi
navian peninsulas and the tiny foot
holds of precarious peace, Holland and
Switzerland, will he caught up in the
flames of war.
All Kurope ;• Yes; and the thought
that first arrests us at the news of
Turkey's belligerency is: What of
Asia Does the purpose of Turkey in
« luile an appeal to all Moslems to rise
up against the infidel? Will Sultan
and Sheik-ul-lslam unite even a part
of the Mohammedans in a jahad or
holy war?
There are sixty-two millions of Mas
lems in India, thirteen millions in Hus
sia (Asiatic and European), thirty mil
lions in the islands, nine millons in
Persia, thirty millions in China and.
Chinese Turkestan, seven millions in
Arabia, nine millions in Egypt, one and
one-forth millions in Italy's new pro
vince of Tripoli, over eleven millions in j
French North Africa—-in short, over
200.000.000 in all countries
The points of serious danger ar<
Egypt, chiefly, and to a less degree In
dia. Anxiety among the English In
Egypt has been verv great for some,
time and it Is likely that nationalist |
ambition will he fanned to flame now 1
Only time will tell how serious and ex - j
tensive the results of the Turkish step
will prove to he. It would be one of
the many ironies of history if the kaiser,
who first preached the ‘‘Yellow Peril,"
should find il a source of strength in
extremity.
Aside from the fear of pnn-Islamic
revolt, the entrance of Turkey into the
war will bo followed h> the most ser
ious sonsequences. That she has invot- j
ved herself with an agreement for com- I
pensatlon is not to be considered, and
while this comiiensation may take thej
form of her intrenchment in Constnn-j
tlnople and (be recovery of Egypt, the!
possibilities of her aggrandizement at
the expense of her late enemies in thei
Balkan peninsula are to serious to on-1
courage their aoquiesenee.
Italy is also seriously involved, not 1
merely or chiefly through her posses- ,
sion of THpoli. but through her Interest
ip the Adriatic littoral, almost neces
sarily to be affected by any bargain
changing relations in the Balkans
From the military and naval point of
view the accession of Turkey is sub
stantial if not formidable addition to
the strength of the Berman side The
ships taken over from Bermany are
new and of the highest type of their
atednativeslso raynln-anwfkaKvoysg -
respective classes The army is esti
mated at 220,000 on pence footing, with
a war strength, first and second line,
of 360,000. and an estimated maximum
strength of 000.000 If adequately sup
plied the Turks are of the best fighting
material—Chicago Tribune

.1. T. Rossman. former Dawson
merchant, now engaged in mining on
N’o. H below A. Mack's, on Quartz creek. I
has a strange specimen of leaves, found
on that claim at the depth of fto feet'
front the surface. The leaves arc per-I
feet in formation and several inches
thick, and evidently have been sub
jected to great pressure many years. ;
They arc brown and look not unlike j
tobacco leaf after it bad been cured.
Some of the strange specimens have
been sent to Ottawa.
That the labor market in Juneau and .
surrounding camps is overcrowded is
the statement of men who aro doing
the employing for the big mining com
panies. A conservative estimate places
the number of idle men in Juneau and
vicinity at about 300. Most of these
are men who have been employed dur
ing the summer and who are anxious

A world record-smashing run was i
made by the Canadian Klondyke Com
pany's large gold dredge No. 3. working
in the Bonanza basin, half a mile from
Dawson, for the week of 168 hours
ending October 27 The yardage was
the largest ever handled by any of the
three dredges the company has operat
ing there. Material handled totaled for
the week U0.045 cubic yards The
dredge is the largest in the world, and
therefore claims the world’s record.
There are one or two dredges of sim
ilar size in the western states. Num
ber 3 had exceptionally favorable con
ditions under which to make the splen
did record, says the Dawson news.
The depth dug was 30 to 3." feet, with
seven feet of face exposed, the ground
and gravel thawed and bedrock soft.
i Jenl'ge F Johnson is working on a
plan to introduce fruit-bearing trees
into the Yukon Mr. Johnson Jins been
making an extensive study of the sub
jort and lie believes that hardy varie
ties of apples and possibly cherries and
other trees which winter in Ihe north
ern zones where ttiere is much frost
will pass through the Klondyke winter
successfully. lie plans to have trees
brought in next year and set out for
the test William II Avery, another
enthusiastic Dawson booster, bad a
small apple tree growing in the yard

weathered every Klondyke winter for
years and was getting on nicely until
someone broke down l-ilac bushes
