GOVERNOR BRADY

Servant Girls May Get Skinned" In Governors Mining Company But It
 Will Be A.s..Mistake'' Not Intention
From Juneau Transcript

From Juneau Transcript
 If Governor Brady succeeds in get ting some of the big mining Iroposi- tfons of Southeastern Alaska opened up, he will do great thing for her people. It matters not to him how the knockers hammer at him, for with him every knock seems to be boost. He may be mistaken in his judgment con- cerning the property he is promoting, but one thing is sure every servant VtAo invests dollar can stake her life upon it that it is mistake of his head and not of the heart Governor Brady will invest. lis last dollar in any propo- sTtion he advises others to invest in.
 Governor Brady is certainly taking drastic means to advertise Alaska's mining opportunities, but his method has well-known precedent; Ogilvie, of the Yukon territory issued prospect us very similar to the one recently put o1t recently by MT. Brady's friends, and thousands, of people went to Daw- son on the strength of what this man said. Scores of thousands of them never received any reward for the hardships endured, yet more money has been taken out of the Klondike country than Ogilvie ever dreamed of.
 We hope that all the bright and bril- iaut future of Alaska that Governor Brady has so vividly pictured out in his l3tospectus will come to pass. If those who criticise the governor for his gra- phic pen pictures desire it, we can show them even more radiant and racy rhetoric in the reports of other govern ment officials. Simply because the governor has made lightning change from ''corn stalk agitator'' to min- ing promoter, is no evidence that he is not the same grand old man. ;,

publication of report he had received from Mir Shonts as President of the Panama Railway Company, regarding the protest recently received by him iron, Hudgins and Dumas and H. Baife of New York against the award of the contract to Mir. Market. The report which Mir. Shonts is directed by the President to make when the protest was referred to him Is simple state- ment of the various steps President Shonts took in the matter and the rea- sons which impelied him to grant 0 concession to Mir. Markel. The protest forwarded to the President by Hudgins G Dumas and H Balfe alleged that they had not been accorded fair treatment by President Shonts and that through a leak in Mir. Shonts's once MT. Market had been informed of the nature of their proposal and had been enabled to thereby incorporate in his bid the menu which Hudgins & Dumas had sub mitted. Mir. Shonts' statement clears up these allegations to the satisfac- tion of the President. He therefore has approved the report and no further ac- tion concerning the protest probably will be taken.

 The cable connections with both Japan and China will be made by ex- tending the present lines of the com pany. which run from San Francisco through the stations of Honolulu, Mid way and Guam and Manila. Japan will be reached by laying cable from Guam in the Pacific Ocean direct to Yokohama. The cable to China will be laid from Manila to Shanghai.
