MILLIONAIRE WOMAN PIONEER.

In the course of number of years resi-
dence in Alaska we have grown accustomed
to hearing and reading many warm and
highly aeritied stories as published in the
newspapers of the great outside. And in,
variably the most highly colored, unduly in
flated and altogether pulled up, have been the
yarns told or alleged to have been told, by
"women pioneers of the frozen north" Many
men liars have done nobly but the women
kind excels them all. A couple of years ago
we were RECALLED by full page illustrated pipe
dreams, in New York papers, the head and

these creations by women argonauts that
has come to hand for many long months, is
that of which the architect is Miss Lena
Walton, who was in PORTLAND, Ore, couple
of months ago. AS the 'young reporter
sat in Miss Walton's ''first floor suite of
the magnificent, likewise expensive, Hotel
Portland, the "charming brunette, 1.-THE and
graceful as a gazelle, ''toyed like an ordi-
nary lady with dainty lace handkerchief,
winding it around her fingers, while, with
degree of volubility, Miss Lena told the
Open-eyed youth of the wonders of this
Northland, which she, unaded and alone,
discovered and wrested from it's frozen
bosom all the gold that any human or other
kind of being should, or ought to, have.
Then the reporter classed her as a million
aire, and the modest woman pioneer, in an
swer to a somewhat leading question, de-
clined to state the exact number of millions
which she was worth. But she told him
that she had enough and to spare, and so

provides for the re-esta blishment of the presl-
dents house." a long forgotten feature of life at
Yale. In detail the will provides that Mrs
Farnam's house. which is one of the most at
tractive in New-Haven shall go to the uni

presidents upon the death Of her son. Professor

tween 100000 and 100000. also bequeathed

Some few may take him at his word, be-

About himself for just awhile, but soon

they can win without involving any
more outside men. No talk is heard
