Are the Reports Of the Tacoma Rushes
to Alaska.

Are tNe fteJOTtS OF INV ldcOiuA huhIpss
to Alaska.
Mr. Mark wnzinski, a prominent b6si-
nesman Of Seattle, is in the city. An As
torian reporter had an interview with
the gentleman at the Occident ycster-
day afternoon and was given few point
ers on the Alaska rush, Of which Sound
papers are full.
The further away from h9me / get, the
greater becomes that Alaska rush." said
Mr.. Wflzinski. This dispatch, referring
10 the Associated Press report from Port
Townsend, published in yesterdays pa
per- says great number of people and
10 dogs sailed for the land OF the mid
night sun. More likely the number Of
dogs was 10. Why should people take
dogs to Alaska from the Sound when,
as a matter OF fact, dogs are very plen-
tfu in that country The dispatch fur
ther says as high as $50 each are offered
for dogs Of large size. Just think; so
for a dog. Why, an Indian brought
three dogs TO Seattle recently when he
came down from Alaska, and said he
could buy all he wanted for from 81 to
s., and Eskimo dogs, too American dogs
are Of practically no value to Alaskans
for hauling sledges. and just what they
are wanted for is impossible to
state. OF course, the people are rush
ing 10 the North but the rush IS not
as great as reported"
The Sound papers publish column after
column on the Alaska rush-in fact, that
Is what chiefly constitutes the local news
OF several publications The papers evi-
dently rePard the rush" as q good thing
and are therefore pushing It along.

faued with wishes and good cheer.
Inere are bright vacation letters
FROM the summer friends Of yore;
Iney had written through the autumn,
but were never heard from more.
BUT In all the store Of letters
That keep where'er I roam,
Anere are none / fnd more precious
Than the sacred ones from home.
