REALTY At AUCTION.
The Benefits Expected to Grow Out of
the New Departure.
TALK WITH ONE OF THE INSIDERS.
Not So Much of o Sensation in Electric as
Most People Expected.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF The CITY

The new departure in the method of hand
ling real estate in Pittsburg-the intro
duciion of the auction room as an auxiliary
to the present system-being particularly
assured, something in regard to its advan-
tage is in order. This may be promised by
the statement that the city has grown so
much and business expanded to such an ex-
tent in the last few years, that real estate
can no longer be efficiently handled in the
old way. A step in advance has, therefore,
become a necessity.
As for the benefits expected to be derived
from the establishment of an auction room,
gentleman prominently identified with the
movement said yesterday:
1T will give owners an opportunity to reach
the whole market instead OF a fraction of it.
1t will bring buyer1 together and thus increase
competition, which, as everybody knows, is the
life of trade. 1t will make, q ready market.
Instead of requiring three or four months to
work up sale as is the case now. transactions
will be prompt. Business men will be more
likely to invest, because they will have an as
surapce that they can find customers in case
they shall need ready money to tide over unex-
pected difficulties.
"The location of the room has not been de-
termlned upon. nut TO secure the attenoance
of those it is desired to reach. it must be CEN
trail and convenient of access. There is no
reason why it should not soon become one of
the most popular and best attended resorts in
the city, as the business transacted there con-
Germs everybody in the two cities and suburban
districts. Sales at the beginning will take
place on one or Two stated days of the week.
but later, should business justify il. they will
be held daily or as often as necessary.
1.-THE auction room will be under the control
of special committee, one of whose duties
will be to see that all sales are fairly conducted
No fictitious bidding will be allowed, so that
when anyone is bidding he can rest assured that
any other bidder for the same property is a
bona fide buyer.
'Should the plan work as expected and hoped
think it probable that before the year is out
the modest auction room will develop into a
regular real estate exchange"
At the meeting this afternoon. at the same
time and place as before, final steps will no
doubt be taken to put the organization in work
ing order.

A GREAT COUNTRY.
We Get Three Miles More of Alasi
Than Was Supposed.


Than Was Supposed.
Dr. W. Y. klngsbury, the surgeon Of
the United States Coast and Geodetlc
survey party, organized definitely to
establish the northeastern boundary of
Alaska, has returned to st. Louis after
an absence of over two wears. In speak
ing of the trip and its results, Dr.
kingsbury said: "In the opinion of
the leaders of the two government sur
vey parties sent into Alaska, the result
OF the work has been most satisfactory.
The object of the expedition has been
definitely to establish the northwestern
boundaries of Alaska, about which
there was difference of British and
American opinion. Lieut. Frederick
Schwatka had made a running survey
along the Hist parallel for this govern
ment, and Surveyor Ogilvie for the Brit
ish government, but there was a differ
ence ofthree miles in their establishment
of the northeastern boundary line. Our
camp was situated at the intersection of
the Hist parallel with the Yukon River,
and the result of our work has been to
confirm the Ogllvie survey, which gives
the United States three miles more ter
ritorv along the northeastern boundary
line of Alaska than it was supposed to
have. OF course, it Will require a long
time for Surveyor ct'rath 10 get his
