ALASKA GROWN TO
A GREAT COUNTRY
New Book by General Gr8sIy
Tells Absorbing Wonder
Tale of the North
PRIVATE CAPITAL WORKING MGRVELs
Remarkable Opportunity for Settlers and
Every Class Of Business Man New to
Be Found Ia New Territory

That Alaska is country of possibili-
ties unsupported, with resources that are
but scratched, and with enough territory
to make six great states, each richer
than any Argonauts dream, is the bur-
den of Major-General A. w. Greelys
new Handbook of Alaska"
1t is generally conceded that General
Greedy knows as much if not more than
any other man about Alaska. He
states unequivoeally that agriculture is
a long-neglected opportunity, and that
the man who takes up homestead there
now in either the Susitna, Tanana or
Copper River valleys is laying the foun-
dation for a comfortable fortune. AS
the land laws with regard to homestead
ing now stand, the path of the settler
is made both easy and profitable and the
mar kets are opening up rapidly While
mining was unquestionably the medium
for introducing Alaska TO the nations,
the bulk of its wealth in the future will
be drawn from its coal, its farms, it's
lumber and countless other resources.
A country that cost seven millions and
has so far turned in to its purchasers
over three hundred millions deserves
well of its owners, and that is but fore
taste of what Alaska can do, and will
do. The coal in particular is of such
infinite quantity and quality that even
the Wanted Pennsylvania fields look
mean by comparison, and when the cum
bersome and slow-moving governmental
machinery can be induced to allow the
coal to be used instead of uselessly
locked in the earth, Alaska will develop
at rate that will be measured in hiI-
lions instead of millions.
General Greedy has Sc. forth his sub
iect well. and shows 20 What extent the
country that can produce luscious straw
berries In FIVE weeks as far north as the
Arctic Circle, can be depended upon to
furnish returns. @The Handbook Of
Alaska" will 60 far to removing the
silly beliefs that the country Is a and OF
snow and ice, for. as Is shown, il Is men
toned as an incident chat Juneau. the
capital is in the same latitude as Edin-
hurgh and that the agricultural condi-
tions are precisely equivalent, and In
some eases superior to NORWAY and
Sweden. Also In many cases the cour
try Is vastly ahead OF the United States
IN It's development, for II Is dotted with
wireless telegraph stations, Is building
railroads At the rate of miles a day
Is making permanent roads as fast a.
pcssiblej is attracting settlers in hories
and incidentally offering, under the IN.
telligent supervision of private capital
such opportunities as are generally only
dreamed of Private capital has already
made vast new ocean port Cordova,
at cost of millions, and is pushing
railroad to the interior with gianf
strides. So far the government has been
content to sit by and watch some one
else do the work.
General Greely's book is = story Of
power and absorbing interest and dis
counts many a tale of adventure.

MO. RIVER GRAIN
CASE Held UP
COMMISSION PosTPoNEs PRoHI-
5lTIoN OF ELEVATOR AL
LoWANcE-lN COURT.

washington, Nov. 26.--At a special
conference of the interstate commerce
commission held tonight the commits
sion decided to postpone the going into
effect OF a decision 1t rendered several
months ago forbidding payments by
railroads to certain grain elevators
along the Missouri river. The COM
mission held that these payments were
in the nature of rebate as they were
not paid to all elevators.
The decision was rendered in two
cases, one in what is known as the
Peavey case and the other in the case
of the frame bureau of the merchants
exchange of st. Louis. These are con-
sidered the most important cases which
have ever been. decided by, the COM
mission in connection with the han
ding OF grain by carriers, and while
the cases mentioned affect only Mis-
souri, river points, If the decision OF
the commission is sustained it will
apply to elevator allowances through
out the United States
Cases Go to Court.
Before adjournment for it's summer
recess the commission granted a post
ponement of the going into effect of
it's order until Jan. l next. The car
riers, chief Of which are the Union Pa
cific and the Burlington railroads, have
taken the matter into the courts, and
in order that ample time may be had
for a court hearing the commission
has extended the time until April l.,
1910. In connection with the post
ponement the commission says:
"Our order in these cases runs only
against points upon the Missouri river,
and one ground most earnestly insist
ed upon by the petitioners il that to
stop the granting of the allowances
upon the Missouri river while they
continued elsewhere would be to
create a serious discrimination against
that locality. This is self evident. A
cardinal consideration in reaching our
conclusion was the belief that In no
way could discrimination and prefer
ence be prevented except by the COM
plete prohibition of the payments and
privileges. The principle of our de-
cision applies everywhere. We expect
that the decision will be universally
accepted by carriers. 1t is incredible
that in the midst of the present de-
mand for an increase in freight rates
any railroad can be found which viii
insist upon a continuance of this prac'
tice, the only effect of which upon thu
| railroad is to deplete it's revenues am
1emoralize its rates. If, however, thil
urns out to be otherwise, the commits
ion will proceed in the most expedi
ious manner to enforce its ruling. /
