 TIMER IN SEATTLE

 MT. E. uce has been associated with Alaska for many years and during the Columbian exposition he had tribe of Eskimos son exhibition, then toured tre e'a'os with them after the Chicago fair of 1893
 While in Nome both Mir and Mrs Bruce were well known and liked by the citizens. Mir. Bruce Was mem Der of the first school board of Nom, and was instrumental in building th'. present Seward school building
 The following taken from an out side paper gives one an idea of the future movements of our former citi- zen
 Miner Bruce. Alaska's one historian. has come down from the North to fn- ish here in Washington and in Cali fornia the task to which he set his hand fifteen years ago. and in the per formance of which he has foresworn utterly all the pleasures and comforts of civilization which the Alaska pf his choice cannot furnish. Mir Bruce. who is now in Seattle, has under way history of the North. which will be the truth. the whole truth and noth ing but the truth. and complete to the minutest detail
 In the statement that il k to be the whole truth" lies probably the great est immediate significance. The story of the North is wen worth telling. and it must of necessity deal in large part with humanity in the raw-with blunt. bold times and blunt. bold people and politics. That it will not deal kindly with some goes without saying. for the simple reason that it can't deal kindly with them and be the truth.
