be no doubt regarding the reliability OF

by the statement given to the Post-rntel-

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY. MARCH

right-of-wsy bin was then taken I'D, and
Turner Of Washington addressed the SEN
ate. He Hcognized. he said. the neces-
sity q some such legislation as that pro-
posed. because 10000 adult Americans
were preparing TO go int, Alaska, and II
proper transportation facilities were not
provided il would be cruel and short
sighted policy. He said he believed the
measure proposed by the committee WAS
generally fair. and with some amend
ments would be an excenant bill In his
opinion the bill sufficiently hedged about
the transportation companies. as The re-
strictIons placed upon them were even
more severe than those placed on them
by the general law.
To meet point advanced by Turner Car
ter. OF Montana. In charge OF the BILL Of
fered committee amendment retaining
the first section of the house bill. except
wherein It provides for the approval of the
president, and modiAee the committee
amendment with a proviso that no entry
shall be allowed extending more than forty
rods along the shore OF any navigable wa
ter. and along such shore a space Of at
least forty rods shall be reserved from en-
try from such claims.
The committee amendment was adopted
After the section WIS amended Vest. OF
Missouri, moved TO strike out the entire
section. He said frankly that he desired
to test the sense of the senate on the prop
osition 10 extend the homestead laws TO
the district Of Alaska. So far as the con-
struction OF railroads was concerned. it
would be most difficult and expensive un-
dertakng. IL constructors could find val
leys for their railroad they would be met
with all sorts OF difficulties and dangers
He thought that after the gold-seeking
rush had subsided there would be no pos
sible reason for the construction of rail-
ways in Alaska. Vest ridiculed the report
made by Rev. DR.. Sheldon jackson upon
the agriculture of Alaska.
Alaska" declared Vest. IS not an ag-
ricultural section and it never can be made
one. l speak from personal knowledge anu
not from government reports"
He said that in that grea. section. two
and a half times larger than the state OF
Texas and ten times larger than the state
OF Georgia. there was not single farm,
ye. the report of DR.. Jackson extensively
pictured the wonderful potatoes and the
remarkable cabbages produced there. Vest
said he knew something OF those potatoes
and cabbages. The potatoes were large
and full OF water, nothing else. He saw.

Special Dispatch 20 the Post-Tntelligencer.
WASHINGTON. March 3.-Everything
went along swimmingy today for the Sc
attic assay office. Senator Turner's BILL
which had been carefully steered past the
committee shoals by Senator Wilson. was
brought up by unanimous consent this
afternoon and passed.
The senate bill will now be referred to
the coinage committee of the house. and
substituted for the Lewis bill, the two
varying in no important particulars.
All efforts will now be devoted toward
securing a favorable report from the
house committee.
j. W. elise and Frank 7. Hunter. of Sc
attle appeared before the committee this
morning. presenting files Of the Post-In-
tell.gencer, the Tacoma Ledger and the
Portland Oregonian. showing frcrn the ad-
yertising columns of the tree papers the
superiority of Seattle over the other two
cities, and that her Alaska feet was twice
as large as that of both the other cities.
The committee is not ready 10 report.
As the bill has the Endorsement Of the
treasury department. and as the necessity
for the establishment of such an office is
thoroughly understood by the members of
congress. there Is every reason 10 expect
that will be passed by the house within
a very brief period. With an assay office
in Seattle. every ounce of klondike gold
which reaches Seattle can be sold there
10 the government AZ precisely the same
nrice as Is paid at the mint The office
will probably be prepared for business by
the time the gold feet from 81. Michael
reaches Seattle this summer. with It's load
OF treasure.

therefore left to his son William III.
The life of the latter was shortened
by so great a burden, and he said be-
fore his death that the care OF such
vast interests was sufficient to bring
any man to an early grave. He want
ed to distribute his fortune, which had
grown to 5000, 600 900, but when he cams
to trying it he found he had so many
millions that it could not be done ex-
cept by great sacrifices. Only half of
it could be disposed off, and he was
finally compelled to divide the remain
ing 500, 000, 900 between his sons, Will
liam II. and Cornelius. This gave each
$50 600, 900 in addition to his other large
holdings. Cornelius had more than the
rest and the additional $50 00O, 900 was
nothing more nor less than burden to
him. He has since broken down from
care and oVerwork. Mr. Gould Is said
to have prOfited by the experience of
the Vanderbilts. and by careful study
succeeded in making wise distribu-
ton of his millions among his six chill
dren in order that none should have
too great a burden upon him.
The setting at rest of the rumors con-
corning the sO-called division OF the
Gould estate will be received with re-
lief in the financial world at least.
