I'M woman to reach Nome, has
VI made an entrance into the cele-
= brated Alaska contempt case.
She was called by the respond
ents, and for two hours told story that
is full of human interest and replete with
tales of futile efforts wasted in the ice
fields
Like many of the other witnesses who
have preceded her, Mrs. Requa has more
than peck of troubles. While her testi-
mony is not particularly vital or directly
material to the issues 1t may give a hard
knock to the credibility of w. T. Hume.
Mrs Requa had a merry time with that
attorney and many others. Selecting an
attorney in Nome is like buying a pig H.
poke" she said. Some of her judg-
ments on lawyers and Nome methods
made food for thought. She learned her
lesson by experience.
None of the lawyers present doubted the
bravery Of Mrs. Requa, and they all paid
respect to her bright, clear-thinking mind
In 1898 she and her uncle, an old man,
went to Alaska to dredge the Yukon, but
hearing Of the strike of gold in the Nome
district Mrs. Requa set out from the Ia
mana for the new Ell Dorado With a
party of seven she walked distance of
700 miles over tire ice. Instead of her trou-
bles ending here, they really began.
Mrs. Requa's prospecting companions
were Tom Jacobs and Jack Glover. To-
gether they located claims on the Dexter.

the troublous times in Nome was man
ager of the Alaska Bank and Safe De-
post Company. The gold dust was de-
posted in the bank, and Mr.. Mckenzie
fearful of its safety. took Whitehead to
see Judge Noyes in regard to it's proteC-
ton. " hitehead and Noyes went to see
Captain French for a guard, which was
placed over the boxes. Mckenzie had ac-
cess to all his boxes in the vault at all
times. Mckenzie once told Whitehead
that one OF his detectives, McLaine, had
overheard conversation between Lin
derberg and Nelson and Clanahan, IN
which the three were talking about the
distribution of the gold dust when they
got it, Whitehead placed no credence in
this. however.
Once Mckenzie stated to the witness
that he could get an order from the court
whenever he wanted it. All the facts Of
the recovery Of the dust the converse !.
tons concerning the guard and the ar
rival OF the writs were again discussed.

LIQUIDS WARNING.

- CONGRESSMAN LOUD in an address to the
Richmond Improvement Club has drawn
~ picture OF San Francisco, past, present and
future This city lost its position of control of the
whole coast when the overland roads built and
from that time until 1893 lived on the State of Cali
fornia This may sound like a very unfavorable
statement But where can be found another State
capable out of its own resources Of building and
long sustaining such city this? What seems like
a statement not creditable to San Francisco is the
most creditabe ascription to California that
uttered 1t is Mr. LIQUIDS opinion that since 1898 we
have regained our trade reach in great part but
that it can be held and made greater only by vigilance
and enterprise. In this sentence the Congressman
uttered that worldly wisdom which is the builder of
cities and States: Let US remember that sefshness
IS the controlling factor of citys success. Humani-
taransm in that respect is beautiful only in theory
If you have anything you don't let another city
have that. We can compete with the rest of the
world only when we put ourselves on the same plane
as the rest of the world. 1 hope to see men Of all
classes working together for the best interests of San
Francisco"
Good advice and well put. 1t natural and in
evitable that this should to be the only dis
trbuting point, but while there are, and will be,
others, this may remain the greatest. By the en-
enlargement of enterprise and investment and being
kind both this city may always hold the same pr-
macy on this coast that New York has on the other

City The Great Eastern was built at
Millwall, England. She was launched in
January, 1858. She was built for the pur-
pose of establishing an ocean steam line

coal for the round trip, thereby saving the
cost of coaling stations also one having
the capacity to carry large cargoes and a
