About 100 years ago Thomas jefferson
paid Napoleon Bonaparte the sum of s15.-
10000 for the fee simple of the land area
out Of which We have formed the States
Of Louisiana, Missouri. Arkansas. Mime
sofa, Wyoming. South Dakota, Nebraska.
Montana, Iowa, Kansas. Colorado and
North Dakota: also Indian Territory and
the Territory Of Oklahoma.
What that land area was worth at the
time OF Its purchase is a matter of con-
1ecturs; but the last census gives US fairly
accurate knowledge Of what 1t was worth
N lsp. Its present value Is the value of
ISg plus four years accretions.
The census referred to places the total
area at l,0S,S25 square miles, showing that
all We paid for this valuable property was
about SIo per square mile of its land sur
race. with Its many rivers. water courses,
iakss. forests and mineral resources.
The total population Of these fourteen
states and Territories Is IA. 70s. 5ss. ranging

Company, 4a$
a few years ago THE Open Question"
brought Miss Robins as a young author
into literary prominence at bound.
The book touched upon the most vital
issueS of life, and aroused discussion
wherever 1t was read. Those who dis
approved itand they were many--could
not deny its extra ordinary power. and
the great future promise of it's author.
THE Magnetic North is written along
entirely different lines, but Its appeal Is
quite as insistent. The Klondyke Is the
background which Miss Robins has re-
Gently chosen, and all the color and pic

cent years more tragedies have been en-
acted, and more lives wasted than any
where else In America, have been called
into requisition and made TO serve the

tionalites.
The SHOWS Of the Klondykc, It's hard
ships, it's surprises, Its biting cold, its.
allurcments and its dangers have been
written before and will he written again.
Miss Robins book deals not so much
with the Klondykc Itself as with the
life In which it abounds. with its mis-
sions its miners and It's Peymeut Indian
