splracy to bear the stock of that road

affidavit to an interview in which Kee-
Ter outlined the proposed plan Of action
against the Santa Fe. On the morning
Of the election, he declared. Keller
visited him and made the revelation.
after swearing him to secrecy. He
stated that suit would be instituted
against the Santa Fe on the relation Of
the county attorney of Jefferson coun-
ty. and that arrangements had been
made for some weeks before with Mr..
Phinney and Judge Louis A. Myers.
for the court to meet in Oskaloosa the
day after election to receive the petit
ton. Keller had also declared that
Charles Johnson would be appointed
receiver. This would be done, the at
torney declared, for the purpose of
creating f1uctuation in stocks.
A visit to New York was outlined for
Keeler and the trip was made. One
of the effects Of the New York expedi-
ton had been the determination of
Henry Wollman, Of Kansas CITY. to
intervene as a bondholder, for the al
legged purpose Of assisting the general
decentralization of the road Similar
af1ldavlts were presented containing
the testimony of c. D. French and J.

ers. Both had received advance notice
OF the probable fall in Santa Fe stocks.

case was of criminal character. The
suit was brought, he asserted. bv an

further that it had not been legally

arguments Judge Foster announced
that he would take the case under ad
Visement and adjourned court until

BEGIN IN THE SPRING.
Present Plans for the FOsstOn Exten-
sion, So Called.

The publication of the fact that the
Great Northern is contemplating the
immediate construction Of a short line
from FosstOn to Duluth, across the
upper portion of the state, in order to
preclude the necessity of the long de-
tour via st. Cloud on lake shipments
and shipments destined from the head
of the lakes to the Pacific coast and
vice versa, appears to be confirmed
and there seems little doubt but that
the contract will be let before the first
OF the year for the work. AS stated,
the work will require but about 125
miles OF track laying, as it is supposed
to be President Hills plan to connect
with the Duluth, Superior and Western
line at Deer river, the present terminus
or the latter road. A member Of the
firm Of Foley Bros. & Guthrie has spent
considerable time with President Hill
during the past ten days and it is I'M
derstoOd that the proposed Fosston
extension has been under consider
alton. member Of the firm declared
yesterday that as yet no bids had been
solicited. He believed however, that
work would be commenced early next
season. It has been the hope of the
Great Northern to have a direct line
TO the head Of the lakes from the coast,
as it would bring the produce of
territGry of eXhau5tlrss resources with
in closer touch with lake navigation
Paul and Minneapolis jobbers say that
the line will not help them bit, as it
will give the North Dakota and North
ern Minnesota people too good a
chance to buy in Duluth
1t is understood that the matter
would have been settled some time
ago but for the fact that the Great
Northern failed to make arrangements
with the owners Of the Duluth, Super
Tor and Western road, for the use of
its tracks west as far as Deer river.
where the proposed extension will con-
meet. But now 1t is understood that
Sir William Van Horne, president Of
the Canadian Pacific, which system
owns the Duluth, Superior and West
ern, has approved OF an agreement
which grants the Great Northern the
desired trackage rights. The corps OF
II engineers are now through with the
survey and the result of the work is
now before the president of the road.
1t is said that the Great Northern
Is interested financially in the CON
structlon OF another road which will
follow southerly course south from
Hankton, ). D., to Norfolk Neb The
Great Northern already controls a con-
nection from Yankton to Sioux City.
The proposed new connection would
give the Great Northern another outlet
via the Union Pacific and Westward
via the Northwestern lines Business
which would naturally be derived from
these two lines would go East via the
Northern lines and the lake and rail
route. Another rumor has it that the
Great Northern will also build lines
into the territory of the Burlington and
the Northwestern systems by building
across the reservation from Yankton
to a point north of the same on the
Missouri river. This would give an
outlet for Black Hill commerce.

RAILWAY FOR ALASKA.
Pioneer Road to Enter the Yukon
Gold Fields.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 23.--,Articles
of incorporation of a pioneer railroad
for Alaska were filed in this city. The
incorporators are A. B. Stewart, Maui
rice McMiclzen and Constantine l.
Webb. It is called the Pacific q Arc
tic Railway & Navigation company.
It's proposed route is to commence at a
point at the head of Lynn canal, at
Shkagway bay, and thence to Summit
lake. a distance of twenty miles, which
will do away with the greatest hard
ship incident to the trip into the Yu-
kon. as it will save the hardy miner
the necessity of packing his supplies
over the mountains and through the
rough Chilkat pass Summit lake is
feeder of the upper Yukon, and from
there it is comparatively easy to reach
the mining centers along the banks
of that river.
It is also the intention of the corpora
ton to run boats on Summit lake and
the upper portions of the Yukon, so
that passengers and supplies can be
comfortably carried to the gold min
ing regions. The capital stock is put
at $1,000,000.
1t is certain that the largest unwOrk-
ed area of placer gold in the world is
in the great Yukon basin. This is Veri-
fed by the observations Of men of good
Judgment, who say that up to date
the placer territory has merely been
scratched here and there. and that the
great bulk of the wealth still lies i'm
prisoned in the frozen gravel beds or
in the quartz The means of transpor-
tation at present in use are Of the most
primitive kind. Outside Of the water
transportation offered by the mighty
Yukon and it's great tributaries, the
only means of moving freight and sup
plies is by men and dogs. What is
needed to fully develop this rich re-
gion and to unlock more fully it's long
boarded gold is better transportation
facilities.

IMPENDING RATE WAR
Southern and seaboard Likely to
Have Trouble

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Wash
ington Star this evening publishes an
interview with Vice President ST Holm
OF the Seaboard Air line, at Norfolk
Va, on the question of the existin o
dlIferences between the Seaboard and
the Southern railway company. The
Stars correspondent expresses tbo
opinion that desperate traffic war is
impending between the two companies
The price of peace, he infers from his
interview with Mr.. ST. John. is the
withdrawal Of the Southern steamer
line between Baltimore and Norfolk
and the granting Of the demand of the
Seapoard, which has been pending for
several years, to allow the latter to
run its trains between New York and
New Orleans.
1.-THE Seaboard Air line" said Mr.. ST
John, will demand from it's competi-
tors all the privileges accorded to any
other railway company. and failing to
receive them will resort to such means
to enforce its demands as may be
deemed wise and just by the directors
of our company"
