ALASKA NOT LAND
 OF ICE AND SNOW

Are you not pleased to be back from the land of ice and snow?'
 This query comes frequently to the returned Alaskan tourist.
 It is good to be back home in Seat tie, of course, and revel in the summer charms of this wonderfully beautiful city. It's climate and it's environment surpass anything found elsewhere, in Alaska, or to be found elsewhere, but the tourists are not back from a land of ice and snow.
 The scenic grandeur of the inside )assage to Alaska baffies wOrd-dee scription. Paint and brush do it scant
 justice. A steamship trip from Seattle to Skagway and thence over the White pass by rail to WhisehOrse provides scenery uneclipsed anywhere in the world. In 1912 tourists to the num- Der of $500, of the million pleasure seekers of the land made this journey an mfnitesimal quota compared with the number of Americans who annual ly go to SwitZel land and other cOun- tries across the sea for their sight seeing some day Southeastern Alas ka will be the Mecca of tourists, and, to accommodate them, the steamships sailing from Seattle and Vancouver will multiply in number. The slogan, See America First" apparently still falls upon deaf ears, but it will not al ways be so.

CORDONA. Aug. &. - Deputy Mar shal Joe Brown, of Chitina. who re- turned from the Shushana, left the gold fields Friday morning and reached Me Carthy Monday night. He made sev- eral locations. and will return with an outfit for the winter believing the pay dirt can be thawed out in the win ter and washed in the spring.
 Brown says there is no question about the richness of some of the claims and expresses the opinion that with development many valuable claims will be opened up. as pay has been found on numerous creeks.
 On Discovery claim when he was present a miner asked permission to take out pan and found $l6 in mug gets The owner intimated he did not know how to get the values, so the miner volunteered to show him and took out S24 from the pan.
 Shortage of Food.
 Brown SuhStantiates the general re port of the shortage of food in the camp and says there is practically no pans, picks or shOvels with which to uO the work. \ great number of claims have been located on the vari- ous creeks, and Brown predicts much irregular stalking and subsequent claim iumpiue. He says few prospectors have done any work on their claims. and that most of them are on the move due largely to shortage of pro- visions. Many prOspectors who mushed in are not in position to remain long as they did not carry much food and found it impossible to buy any.
 Should Take Provisions.
 Browns opinion is that present de- velopments have simply shown the possibilities of the camp. He did not look for big and rich strikes until next spring, and he advises all going now to take provisions sufficient to last a few months. He says the trail in several places is bad. but that with the expenditure of few thousand dol

No finer summer jaunt could possibly be conceived by the traveller than one carrying him through the Yellow stone, or Glacier National park, or the Canadian Rockies, to the Coast, and then by inside passage through Alas kan waters, to the interesting North eTn country, with return voyage by outside water route. Such a journey may be taken with comfort now. All Seattle people appreciate what a trip by inside passage furnishes in the way of scenic attractions. For sigh seeing only, it may be made within fortnight Some day there will be tourist hotels on Puget Sound and the Alaskan coast. Then this picturesque country will become the summer par adise of Eastern as well as Western pleasure-seekers.- (Scott C. Bone, in Seattle POst-Intelligencer)

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. Jan THE cotton
contract market is perhaps more Of n
puzzle to small traders than it 10 to
larger operators and spot dealers
There is undoubtedly a strong group
in control of a good volume OF New
York contracts, There is, of course,
n equal number Of outstanding snort
commitments which must be taken
care Of in due course Of events. Mean
time the local stock Is very small and
this short interest will be confronted
with the necessity Of buying cotton in
the South and delivering same unless
they can repurchase their contracts
at lower prices, There is nothing else
in the situation at this time, there
fore. except the gradual, but sure
working Of the law of supply and de-
nand.
The decision OF the Supreme court
in the matter OF the speculative deal
managed by prominent Chicago and
New Orleans interest may have some
bearing upon the price movement,
though the formal statement issued by
the attorney general Of the United
States must have been very reassuring
10 the trade interest using the facili-
ties Of the various exchanges in han
ding the actual staple, or, indeed, for
ordinary speculative operations. The
attorney general seetlS 70 ASS~A -
further legislation unnecessary, and
this view will be quite likely adopted

The news OF the day included halt
in the peace negotiations in London,
but very large sales OF spot cotton
continue in Liverpool. The prospects
