BROKE INSTEAD RICH IN GOLD
Alaska Man Tells His Experience az
n Mining PrOspectOr I'm
the North.

Charles Elliott (Ryberg) Of Nome, Alaska,
was at the Merchants Tuesday enroute
from Alaska to Minneapolis.
MANY erroneous impressions are abroad
concerning Alaska" said Mr.. Elliott. "as
most people think 1t Is land of continual
snow and ice. The fact is the southern
part is in about the same latitude with
Norway and northern Russia and good
crops are grown"
Mr.. Elliott is to deliver lectures on
Alaska, and six years residence in that
| country has made him familiar with the
conditions as they exist there.
Alaska, or the Wisdom of Seward $
Folly" is the theme of one lecture. Mr..
Elliott went as a miner to Alaska in 1900,
thinking he was going to get rich He
went broke instead and went to Nome
after mining for two years. He taught
school for two winters at Unalaklett and
| then returned to mining. A vacancy existed
| in the Congregational church and he was
called upon to preach and occupied the
pulpit for four years. During spare mo-
ments he kept up his mining and is now
interested in placer and tin mining and
expects to return shortly to look after his
| mines.
Alaska is the last frontier we had as
nation and believe the northern part will
always be rich as mining country. In
the south are immense valleys with tim.
Der. and It will only be a matter of few
years until the southern part of Alaska
| will be a great farming and cattle raising
country. Gold may be found on one side
| OF house and cattle raised on the other.

I'm 1M!M IN! LAW
Restriction on Foreigners and Pro-
vision for Their Transports
ton Is Healthfu1.

Leaders of organized labor figure
they have not Jared SO badly as
they might in regard to the immi.
grafton bill that has just passed
congress. -, 1~s,,.y
They consider that in that provi.
sion OF the bill increasing the air
space for each immigrant from 100
cubic feet to $50 cubic feet thew
have secured provision quite as
important as the educational test
would have been. In fact, as they
calculate, the provision for in
creased air space will curtail the
tide of immigration more heavily
than the educational test would
have done.
According to the way the leaders
of the American Federation of
Labor look at it the educational
test would cut off about twenty
live per cent of the immigration.
The increase in the amount of
ar space required for each i'm
migrant will cut off 1874 per cent.
More than this the increase in the
head tax from 50 to 81 will en-
large the income to the government
greatly, and will enable the
bureau Of immigration to carry out
its work more effectively. The
provision in the bill for the ap-
pointment of a commission to in
vestigate Immigration problems
is also looked on as important.
1t is calculated the increased
head tax will bring to the govern
ment about 81, 800, 900 more rev
enue annually. This will provide
largely increased sum available
for the use of the bureau of inn
migration in carrying out the law.
The bill that has been passed
provides for commission of three
members of the senate, three of
the house and three appointed by
the president. Organized labor is
anxious to have a representative
on this commission for the purpose
of making it certain there will be
thorough Investigation of the
question
1t is likely the attention of the
president will be called to the fact
that organized labor is entitled to
have representative on the com
mission.
