DAWSON, July 14.-Jacob H. Schiff
and his party of eastern tourists who
are inspecting Alaska left last night
for SkagWay. where they will embark
on the private yacht Ramona for Cor

ed with the country through which they

tanning millions of people. He said the
greatest need of the far north is trans

a railway from Edmonton, Alberta, to
