coXEY POPS UP AGAIN.

This Time He suhmfts Currency Re-
form Plan to President Wilson.
Canal Dover. Ohio, June zs.-"Gen."
Jacob s. Coxey, of marching on Wash
ington' fame. has advanced a new plan
of currency reform. by which he says the
United States could do away with all
Federal taxes
He would have the government take
over all the banks, abolishing the present
banking system. Then, by loaning money
at per cent on good security. sufficient
profit could be made to pay all the ex-
penses Of the Federal government BY
this means panics would be avoided also.
Coxey has sent copy of his plan to
President Wilson and every member of

The Daily Alaskan is in receipt of a handsomely printed eight page folder just issued by the Whitehorse board of trade entitled, "The Shu- shanua Gold Fields" The object of the publication is to disseminate useful information regarding the ne gold strike and contains much that will be of special interest to any one who intends going into the dig gings. It gives a description of the big placer strike and contains a map of the various creeks in the Chis- ana district upon which gold has been located, besides a table of distances from Seattle to the strike via the Skagway-WhitehOrse-Kluane route. It also tells the best time of the year to take in outfits and concludes by advising people 10 wait until they reach Whitchorse to pur- chase supplies, etc, as it claims that this is the natural point for that purpose.

THEY LOSE
 THEIR CHIRENS

Between thieves and dogs the peo pie of Skagway who own chickens have a hard time in protecting their property. Saturday night a dog made a raid on Judge Martin Con ways flock and yesterday morning the remains of 22 dead birds were found in the chicken house where they had been killed and partly de- voured.
 George Mowls chicken house was visited two nights Saturday and Sunday in succession by some thief who on each occasion took away with him two of the fine prize winning Rhode Island Reds. which he has been at so much pains and expense to raise and in which he takes so much pride. This is es- pecially hard on MT. Mowl as he was a heavy sufferer early last fall through the same cause, and we sincerely trust he will succeed in the effort he is making to appre- hend and punish the miscreant who is engaged in this work.

ALASKA NEW STEAMSHIP LINE
 HAS SAILING DATES ARRANGED

 CT of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Rogers is vitally interested in the new line which the Pacific Steam ship Company is to operate between Portland and Southeastern Alaska.
 The railroad he represents runs from Skagway to Whitehorse, situated on the Yukon river. From Whitehorse
 his company operates nine steamers to Fairbanks via Dawson, distance ot 1500 miles, when the stream Is free of ice. When navigation Is clos ed for the winter the concern runs q stage line from Whitehorse to Dawson, which is said to be the most up-to-date and extensive affair of the sort in the world. From 60 tC 70 rigs and 200 horses are used While the White Pass & Yukon Railway and its branches will be entirely independent of the Portland Alaska line, the officials hope to perfect arrangements for handling portion of the freight, at least, passing through SkagWay from Port land, destined for interior points in Alaska and the adjacent Canadian territory. The White Pass & Yukon Railway Company also is a heavy importer, and may provide consider able tonnage for the local enterprise.
 We buy hay, feed and produce of all sorts," said Rogers this morn ing. "We also purchase horses for our stage line. The company owns large wholesale house at Dawson, which has to be stocked with sup plies from the outside each year. A large amount and freight for the rail and steamboat lines have to be im- ported"

dred from Ruby on. Trail is a little heavier on this end on ac- count of more snow, but teams are handling about forty hundred on this end. Advices from the diggings dated December 18th say nothing has arrived from Mccarthy for five wekes except one mail and that took 12 days to get it. The Mccarthy route is a joke in the diggings, they look on it as abandoned for the win ter. The Whitehorse KlUane route has proved itself to be the only prac tical route. Ten two horse freight teams have made the round trip and delivered their loads without delay or damage. The other routes are doing a lot of talking but they are not delivering the goods. This route is better and shorter than it has been reported It takes a load ed freight team fifteen days to go in and the distance is BIO miles. It is a much easier haul than the haul to Dawson.

Major Steele, who is the executor
Of the J. B. Folsom estate stepped for
ward and his name also went down for
500. Peter Barth, the contractor,
walked up and placed his name down
for SIS.
Acting President Watson then said
that the committee felt that no steps
would be taken until the entire
amount had been raised; they had
been to several architects who had
stated that the building could be
erected inside of the $4,000. He said
that within the past two months
Fargo had lost a big plant because
there was no money with which to
pay to assist it. The plant had re-
CURED a shed in which to house its
machinery temporarily, but Fargo
was not in a position to. secure 1t and
another city had the plant. He then
said that the committee hoped to put
up a substantial building, one of re-
inforced concrete which would be dur
able in every way and a credit to the
city. There would be no attempt to
make a big show, for what was want
ed was a building that would seat
at least $500 people, that would be
fire proof and durable. and that this
| could be erected n he thought he
was safe in saying that such a build
ing would be ready for use by next
August.

This closed the meeting and a lunch
followed in the private dining loom
and it was a well arranged lunch
and greatly enjoyed by all. While

Jamestown, n. D., Feb. 19.-In a
recent letter from John T. Curry, who
is spending the winter in Seattle,
Wash, he says to a jamestown
friend:
I am very much pleased to know
you have decided to stick to James
town and l know you will never re-
greet it,
81 honestly believe that North Da-
kota is one of the best fields in the
United States for the man with little
or no money.
big things are being lone here,
things so big they stagger your i'm
not a look in, believe me.
THE climate is lovely, but you
can't eat that stuff. It's too light.
MY advice to our friend is to re-
turn to North Dakota and stay
there n I think hat l know what
| am talking about. Believe me,
when l tell you that if the farmers
in North Dakota work like they do
out here you could not buy an acre
OF North Dakota land for 500. The
trouble with those people is they
haven't beer around and seen how
others farm.
Il am a booster now for North Da-
kota farm land"
