The eastern stockholders of the Key nolds-AIaska Development Company have offered a plan wuich has been approved by the Seattle creditors of tue company, for the payment of all obligations and for the completion of the Alaska Home Railway from Valdez to the summit II. D. Reynolds, head of the Reynolds system, is 4ow in Boston. He has wired o. C. McGiLvra, his attorney, tbaC ali arrangements have been made for bond issue of 5JOO,OOO, to be secured by the assets of the various corporations in the system says the Seattle P-I.
 "The hotels, dock, sawmill, mines and other properties at Valdez gre owned by the Reynolds-AIaska Devel- opment company" said Mr. McGilvra last night. "The plan offered by the eastern stockholders proposes a S5O0,- 900 first mortgage, gold bond issue secured by the the ValdeZ property. The bonds will bear six per cent. From the sale of the bonds it is pro- posed to pay off all the indebtedness and to have enough left to finish 6uild- ing the railroad to the summit,
 "The Seattle creditors have express ed their approval of the plan, I'd nothing stands in the way of Q settle ment of the financial difficulties of the Reynolds companies. The two hotels, wharf, and sawmill are paying pro, perties. The value of the copper mines is unknown and would be hard to esti- mate by anybody who has not visited the properties.
 'It was MT. Reynolds idea that the stockholders should have the first opportunity to take the bonds, and it was upon my advice that he went back to Boston. The railroad can be finished this winter if there is no un- usual delay in securing the money. Already ties have been laid on fourteen miles of the road, and it wi1 nos take a great deal more work to finish .he line to the summit. l believe that the road will pay from the start.
 ''The reorganization plan proposes the appointment of committee to dis purse the funds and to superintend the construction of the road. What Mir. Reynolds position under tho new arrangement will he, am not inform ed, but it is assured that the committee will have full executive powers. Sever al outsiders have offered to finance the railroad but because their proposals would not be advantageous to the stockholders, they were rejected"

contracted a severe cough,
which continued so long
that the doctor said he had
bronchitis or consumption
and after he tried his doc
tors prescription, and re-
ceived no relief, he decided to
use DUFFY'S PURE MALT
WHISKEY, which finally
cured him and restored his
health and strength.
Letters like the following are
received daily telling Of SOME mar
veIous cure due to the timely use
Of DUFFY'S PURE MALT WtiIS-
KEY, as prescribed:
had severe cough for some time and
became extremely alarmed because my physician
told me had bronchitis and another said mad
consumption. As l received little benefit from
che remedies prescribed for me began to think
what the doctors had said was only too true.
finally decided 10 take DUFFY'S PURE
MALT WIdISKEY, with little hope of the
result that followed. Slowly the coughing spells
lessened in frequency and the quantity thrown
up also became less, and my strength which had
sadly failed, is now as good as ever. feel that
/ am saved, and that owe my good fortune to
the timely use Of DUFFY'S PURE MALT
WHISKEY. ."--ANDREW MAYER, 40
