chain VIII be on exhibit at the big
Alaska Y ukon-Pacifc Exposition at
Seattle next year. This fact, although
surmlsed for long time. has only
been scientifically established IN the
last two or three years.
It was in 1906 that z. N. Kimble

States geological survey. visited the
valley OF the Yukon. In the course
OF. their search they discovered several
specimen OF fossil invertebrates which
do not exist In any other portion OF
continent of America, but, which do
exist in Siberia. This does point
conclusively TO a former junction OF
the two countries.
Accordingly to the recently issued
report fthese scientists. 1t was not
known before that these fossils which
they discovered. existed on any por-
ton fthe continet of America.s

Austin Gallagher, Industrial agent
or the Western Maryland, returning
from business trip over the Mary
land and West Virginia divisions,
brought back glowing accounts of the
trade outlook. The road, he said, is
now moving more coal. and general
merchandise than at any time since
the receivership. He talked with
manufacturers and business men
along the line and found them all
preparing for an enlarged trade.
From this he anticipated an early re-
vival of business in the section cover
ed, as all were confident that the
business depression had passed its
climax and that the tide had now
turned toward prosperity.
II discovered capital and energy
in this territory" said Mr.. Gallagher,
for the development of new indus
tries and enterprises. / talked with
many OF those about to embark in
these ventures and found the spirit OF
optimism everywhere prevalent. It
may be some months before some are
finally launched. but from my obsery-

equally true of coal, timber, stone and
other possibilities which the section
offers to men of energy and means"

Washington, Dec. 2S.-According to
the report of his agents, William Jen-
nings Bryan is making about $4,000 a
year from his lectures.
Charles l.. Wagner, secretary of the
Slayton Lyceum bureau, which man
ages his lecture tours, asserts that he
has filled IT'S dates during the year
1907, and that his receipts for the sea-
son have averaged more than $500 for
each appearance.
Bryan stands at the head of the list
of platform speakers today for the size
of his audiences, for the receipts at the
box office and for the demands for his
appearance.
"Mr. Bryan's regular charge at
Chautauquas," said Mr.. Wagner, sis
the first $3.50 taken at the gate and
half of all the receipts over $500, not
including season tickets. He is the
only man who can make such liberal

course he charges 5000 cash as a guar

WILL HEAR TAFT.
Scheduled to Make Four Speeches in
New ENGLAND City.

Washington, Dec. 2S-Secretary of
War William f. Taft, leading candi-
date for the republican presidential
nomination, will deliver four speeches
in Boston next Monday, and there is
much interest evinced as to what he
will have to say. When the secretary
arrived from his trip around the world
he found arrangements all completed
for his New England trip in conformi-
ty with the promises he had made
some time before he left for the Phil
ippines. Perhaps the more important
of the four speeches will be before the
Elysium club, an organization of He
brew citizens, most Of whom are pros
porous business men. The secretary
it is expected, will tell them something
of the existing conditions in Russia,
and how former conditions have been
ameliorated.
