A NEW PAMPHLET 1
ALL ABOUT ALASKA
Seattle, Feb., 20i--Giving the
latest information regarding the :
resources and industries of Alas- i
ka a 40-page pamphlet is being "
prepared by the Alaska bureau of 1
the new chamber of commerce. '
The data obtained from the lat
est government reports is being i
prepared by Captain R. it.
St reach, an old Alaskan, who from
‘98 to 1900 held an important po
sition with the While Pass rail
road during its construction and
in recent years was statistician
for the Copper River & Northwest
ern railroad.
The Alaska bureau is doing ex
cellent work in calling attention
to the possibilities of the terri
tory. Some of the old sourdoughs
suspect that the efforts of lhe|
bureau are devoted to furthering
the interests of Seattle at the ex- j
pense of Alaska, but this is not j
(he case. The collection of gov-j
eminent reports, magazine ar- ■
tides and countless newspaper!
dippings regarding the territory,!
as well as the collections of Alas- ]
ka mining and agricultural, lish- |
.'ing and other products, will be j
one of great value in the future, j
All Alaskans coming to Seattle .
should make if a point to visit ;
the bureau in the Central build- |
ing on Third avenue. j

MASONS REDEEM RELIC
FROM PAWNBROKER
New York, Feb. 20.—Prominent
Masons in New York, represent
ed by Raymond F. Kline, of
Brooklyn, paid last night $1,500
•for the gold Knights Templars in
vilation to President. McKinley,
\d:n-n v as found recently in pos
session of a pawnbroker, who
shortly afterwards refused to sell
it to Dr. 'Hermanus F. Baer, of
Mount Vernon for $800. Dr.
Baer is the husband of Mabel Mc
Kinley, who was a niece of Pres
ident McKinley. The*gold invi
tation, which was sent to McKin
ley from California and which is
prized by Masons as a memento
of the dead president, will be pre
sented to one of the highest offi
cials in that organization, accord
ing to Mr. Kline. Money for the ;
purchase of the invitation was
collected from Masons in this
city, who were greatly distressed
to learn that the memento of
President McKinley was in a pawn
shop.
Pigeon Files 600 Miles.
New York. Feb. 20.—Bearing a
note from a passenger on the
Prinz Friederich Wilhelm, in mid
ocean on the way to Bremen, a
carrier pigeon dropped exhausted
on the roof of a big up-town ho
tel. The message was from A.
Sclmbach, of Seattle, Wash.,
president of a steamship com
pany, who informed the hotel
management that Mrs. Sclmbach
had left two valuable sable skins
in her suite at the hotel before
she started for Europe.
When in this city 15 months
ago Mrs. Sclmbach left two car
rier pigeons, and the birds were
kept on the hotel roof until last
Thursday, when Mr. and Mrs.
Sclmbach decided they would take
the pigeons on their ocean trip.
The Prinz Frierich Wilhelm was
nearly GOO miles at sea. The ho
tel management replied to Mr.
Sclmbach by wireless that the
pigeon had arrived safely.
The first, of the Wednesday
night dances which took place last,
evening in Moose hall was a great
success.

WOMEN 80LD INTO
SLAVERY IN GOTHAM
New York, Feb. 20.—Thai a
ilave market, where women are
;old is actually carried on in New
fork City, is a statement of Sam- )
lel H. London, the Rockefeller in- j
•estigator of the white slave* traf- j
lc, whose testimony before the I
lurran committee startled New!
fork.
The must appalling feature of I
Vlr. London’s findings is thal here
n New York commercialized vice
Tourishes.
The 20,500 women who are in
he grip of the “white slave
rust” in Manhattan and Brook
lyn alone have an earning power
I year of *57,200,000. Most of
he money goes to the trust, the
ivomen teceiving only a scant in
•oine.
"One can gel an idea of I he ex
lent of this white slave trade in
New York City when 1 say Micro
are 20,500 women who are while
slaves in New York, against 57.
000 in all the other stales,” said
l.nmhm. "W hy do they multiply
here so rapidly? It is chiefly be
cause of economic conditions.
While-slavers know it is easier to
get women where the surround
ings are squalid. Another reason
is the glare and glitter and nar
rowness of the New York mind
1 lint there is no place outside of
New York.
“The trall'ickers are always af
ter what they term a ’green meal
ticket.’ That is the way they re
fer to girls they kidnap or girls
thal they induce to leave factor
ies. Foreign, uneducated girls
thal they bring here they call
‘factories,’ because of their great
earning power. An American in
sists on a few rights, such as ex
pensive clothes and the like, but
foreign girls are satisfied with so
much a month.”
Poor wages in me simps are
responsible for the many young
women of New York who start on
a downward career, according to
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president
of the Consumers’ League, speak
ing at the annual meeting of the
organization. Figures compiled
by the League and made public
by Mrs. Nathan show that 00 per
cent of Ihes aleswnmen over 10
years old in New York stores re
ceive less than $0.50 a week and
33 per cent receive between SO
and $0.50.
Sandy Carson is over from the
Midas mine for a short visit.
FOR SALE—Paxsons roadhouse,
store and postofTice business,
probably as good and complete
a plant, in as good location, as
there is in Alaska. Undoubtedly
the best roadhouse stand on the
Fairbanks trail. Reason for offer
ing for sale want to go outside.
For particulars address A. J. Pax
son, Paxson, Alaska.
