Seattle, Sept. Especial corres- pondence of The Republican)- The intense interest created in everything pertaining to Alaska and Yukon by the advent. of the Alaska Yukon Pa cific exposition, which will be held at Seattle in 1909, has caused old pio- neers of the Northland to recall many stories and incidents of the stirring days of the rush of the gold seekers.

The bubonic plague could never have assailed San Francisco at a time more favorable for making trouble, when half the city officials are in jail and no man who retains his liberty can be certain who his friends are. Never theless. there is something about American enterprise that makes the people stand together when q common danger threatens them, even if their co-operation is only temporary. From the latest dispatches it would seem that the situation was promptly realiZ- cd and is now under full control. Elev- en cases and nine deaths since June does not indicate much of an epidemic and the thorough measures taken will undoubtedly stamp out the disease in short order The Republican is not informed whether tl:e men doing things to the plague are honest men or grafters nor does it matter so far as the plague is concerned, for they are doing a good work and are entitled to reorganization. When the plague breaks out in other ports it is very apt to c.aim a thousand lives before it can be controlled.

COPPER PRODUCT OF 1906.

l.. C. GratOn of the United States geological survey has issued a prelim- intry statement of the production of copper in this country during the year 1906. It is brought out in advance of a later and more comprehensive re- port. in answer to a demand for offic- ial figures at the earliest possible date. covering production and consumption
 The figures are based on confidential reports from every known reduction company operating in 1906 and repre- sent the actual recovery in terms of blister and refined copper. In pre- scntinG the figures Mir. Graton says:
 These figures may not exactly correspond with those relating to mine production although the variation Is usually not great. The smelter pro-

 routes were fiercely championed by their respective supporters. And as result thousands started in to the

 The summer of 1897 saw thousands start into the unknown. Many turned

 Most of them followed the Mackenzie.

There party after party struggled in, frost bitten, starving and hopeless. and those who had arrived before and were somewhat rested built the cabins and tended them till their strength slowly came back.
 But the food was scarce. The cold had driven the game away. The lack of fresh vegetables made the scurvy worse as the winter deepened. Day after day the steady ring of the picks on the frozen ground told that one more grave was being dug for some unfortunate resident of Death City, who had given up tfe struggle.

But the lure of the gold still beckoned. and on they struggled day by day, eating roots and occasionally managing to shoot some game or to snare a rabbit. They fin ally reached the gold land-only to find that the others who had gone by the Dyea and Skaguay routes had arrived months before and had staked all the good ground in the camp.

THE BEST NONE TOO GOOD.

What would appear to an outsider as a mighty good investment for the wealthy men of Arizona, would be to cooperate in securing really first class place in Los Angeles for the holding of banquets. If the Hotel Al exandria isn't nice enough for these sons of the desert they might buy few acres in the center of town and build a good house This thought is suggested by the news two or three days ago that Col W. C. Greene of Cananea gave banquet in the Alexandria to Ambassa- dor CreeI and about, forty of his friends and owing to the limited facilities of that hostelry all that he was able to spend on the function was a trifling fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. The next night the dose was repeated by Mexican oil magnate. There was no opportunity for giving biggar show. but he fully kept up to the standard. On the third night II was General M. H. Sherman's turn Nothing more splendiferous could be secured at the Alexandria so he de- cided to at least vary the proceedings by introducing novelty, and invited Senor Greet and the other guests to equally as elaborate a banquet on the ship hotel Cabrillo at Venice. He also provided a special train to carry. his guests to and from the beach. If Senor Greet ever goes hungry in Los An geles it will not be due to the neglect of his Mexican and Arizona friends.

SOLDIERS THANKSGIVING.

The Republican yesterday afternoon
received by mail from Manila. p. l.,
under date of November 29, 1906, the
following poem, with a note from the
writer, saying that he was formerly a
resident of Laramie:
fort William Mckinley
| was sitting down to dinner,
In a farm house DER the sea,
To a turkey, brown and tender,
And a cup of steaming tea.
There were crullers sweating richness,
And a row of pumpkin pies,
With the highest, whitest biscuits
That were ever set to rise.
There my dear, old-fashioned mother,
In her purple printed gown,
Meekly bent her silver tresses
AS she called the blessing down;
She was just about to help me
To the sugar hi the cream.
When the reveille awoke me,
And | found it all a dream.
Though tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
l am miles and miles away
From the farm house and the turkey,
And the mother old and gray;
Clad in torn and faded khaki
And the raggedest of hats,
In a country where the menu
Runs to ~fricassee of rats.
1t is not the least of h%ardships
That a soldier has to bear
Dreams n pleasant recollections
OF the days of better fare.
While the peaceful home-folks gather
Round a board with plenty spread,
He Is lying in the trenches
Waiting for a dose of lead.
But, all friends and near relations
Far among the smiling fields,
Who are grateful for the bounty
That a plenteous harvest yields,
Don't forget who guards the glory
OF that golden land for you,
And just spre a thought Thanksgiving
To your absent boys in blue.
