Show IN THE NORTH 4 very few of us know how mul c I 1 I 1 there Is of taw country we live in what it ia borth nor ill fact any fiang about it except such details as a cons alc plc i is and common un

vicinity and the common edge olt that subject the recent report ot governor S in eford of that territory to the interior dot IA kinAi throws on a grea many subjects which very few of us possession of before und they go that tile executive is an effi elent officer one who stud acs ics his surroundings and does for the country in more I 1 ways ahan one it appears from his that there are people all told in alaska of whom 2 are uncivilized the civilized whites num erin gWO and comprising a mixture of albats native I 1 fAten tian islanders cheoles creoles Cr eoles ae they occasionally havo a apoll

that country is worthless except for its seal lie is quite enthusiastic regarding the gold mines one of bich the paris I 1 has a monthly output of oter in bullion and whose grand total to the time of

in creasea steadily as is customary in immense placer fields even plexico in their on days bail I 1 surely be eclipsed ahw fact that there Is no rush to a lilace so naturally rich and thus tit is because tile rigors of the climate are too much for people who have been bom arid reared in temperate tali audes tudes those who go and remain are I 1 the of the hardy and they in variably make enormous wages while there even they dont take up a I 1 residence by any ift eans but being to make a raise I 1 11 get out as n as their object is gailie KI and i come back to whore they can enjoy it

blizzard through wh ich me have let us hope finally passed it certainly received more attention during those two dark savage weeks than ever be fore a winter inthis least interesting companion to it had a tale to tell every time we confront d it and that was very fre I 1 I 1 quent ly its titled were always told with a straight face and no I 1 alba indeed it was the very picture of on all such occasions and very few ever questioned ta 0 things that it did or the wo ads that it ow just week ago from the writing tur I 1 editor acquired A told which will probably ac compan y him fo tile rest

for thermometer makers arlic re is a fashionable craze to ISO I 1 t bermo meters mounted in every con way for house decoration tho large dry goods stores are sup f I 1 posed to have started taio tabt
