IN ALASKA.
A Richmond Boy Assisting ir
Building the First Railroad
in the Territory.

The following letter was written by
Harry d Weeks, son of j. w. Weeks
of this city, under date of Seattle,
Wash November Is, 1898:
Dear Sir:-Since writing you /
have been very fortunate in securing Il
position with the White Pass q Yukon
Railroad company as chief clerk to the
general traffic manager. and have Gov
cred the territory and fifty miles into
the inter or of Alaska
We are working 5000 men and ex
pect to work every day this winter
This alone shows that the northwest
territory is only in its infancy, even If
SIS 900, 900 of gold was brought from
there during 1898. We are now ar
ranging with seven different steamboat
will deliver our freight and
have forwarded until our line
Is completed. Greater transporra-
ton facilities are now in progress than
were ever dreamed of heretofore. We
are working with the greatest dispatch
to get our line COMPLETED as far into
the interior as possible and reach the
banks of the Yukon river where it is
demonstrated without a doubt there is
plenty of gold.
We are now running both freight
and passenger trains over our road
daily, and will be running over the
once impossible Summit where
hundreds of people lost their lives in
their attempt to get into the interior
We are now running trains within a
mile of the Summit, and by December
L expect to operate trains to the Sum
nit from which point our road will
progress with much greater dispatch
By far the most intricate and complicat-
ed construction has been completed and
1t Is only matter of few months
when the once almost impossible bog
bearing and glacier trail with its many,
many complications and incompatible
hardships will pass as a dream and
freight and passenger will be trans
ported through the entire North
west territory with as much luxury,
ease and quick dispatch as in the
states.
1t is perfectly alarming to know the
amount of people that are contemplate
ing returning to Alaska this winter
We have hundreds of calls daily and
our trains are taxed to their utmost
capacity with freight | enclose here
with our passenger and freight tariffs,
and each month We will get out new
tariffs as our road nears compltt on.
In further references to the eonst uc-
ton of our line, will say that our con-
tract provides for completion of the
work to the White Pass international |
ooundary) Decea Der 1st, at which |
lime We will be operating b 9TH passen-
ger and freight trains, distance from |

skaguay, AZ miles; to Lake Bennett,

lay 90 miles; to Fort Selkirk, Decem-
Ter 1st, distance from Skaguay, 357

We feel certain that the White Pass
Yukon route is the key to the W.
on Mining district, and, for your in
state we have information
rom reliable sources that 10 900 argo-
auts will enter this territory this
ear over our line.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE,


The new farce comedy that will be
presented at the Philips next Thurs
day evening is said to be the funniest
farce of the decade The Peoria Her
aid of November 21st, says OF it. The
new comedy,"A Woman in the Case,
that was presented at the Auditorium
last night certainly deserves to be
placed in the front rank of laugh pro-
ducts, so continuous was the laughter
that many good lines and points were
lost to the audience. 1t was simply
one CONFUSION of laughter after the
other. The skit has a we'll defined plot
that continues throughout the play and
tells of the terrible troubles an old
Irishman experiences in trying to keep
| from his wife the details of a trip TO
New York, when by accident he Is
| placed in a compromising position.
| He enlists the services of his friend
Dan McGinty to help him out of it and
between the two become hopelessly
entangled Above all other things
that may be said and that recommends
it to the better Glars of theatre gosrs,
is that it is spotlessly clean. Special
ties were introduced in the second act
and were much above the average.
l"A Woman in the Case" may be voted
an undoubted success. Seats on sale
at Kuode's.
