GEORGE W. BARNETT
 WRITES FROM CHITIENDA

Tuck Flaharty has just received the following letter from Geo. w. Barnett, an old skagway boy, who is now in the Chitienda;
 Chitienda, Oct. 27, 1913. Friend Tuck: What is the matter. with you people in skagway? Have n't had a letter from there up to date. Have you run out of stamps? I suppose that if l had written you that l had staked aEh. kinds of claims and handed out some bunk of that kind l would have heard from you ere this.
 When there Is something opens worth stalking l will be there. I expect to stake after the first of the year as it is not likely that half the ground will be represented. The whole country is now staked 5 miles out from all creeks and up to the tops of the mountains. l have two good friends-mining men on the creeks, so if anything comes up will get a chance.
 I think this will be a hummer of a camp in the spring. There are already six applications for saloon licenses, and there are more to fol- low.
 Cabins a little larger than mins have sold for $1,OOO each, and l have had several chances to dis pose of mine for $500, but didn't want to sell yet, as the indications are that there will be 5000 people in here as soon as river freezes and snow comes.
 think I did pretty well to put up three cabins alone, with no tools' no grub and no money; so if l don't get a remittance from you soon I will have to sell one of them. | staked a lot in your name yester- day and will build a cabin on it IS soon asI can get to 1t.
 Dell and are now whipsawing lumber for flooring for our cabins and after we are through I will start work on your cabin. ..
 Wish you could be here for Thanksgiving dinner. Our regular bill of fare at present is rabbit and tea for breakfast, tea and rabbit for dinner and tea for supper.
 I hope it wlh be so yau can come in here in the spring with stock of goods.
 Now get busy and write me I tn. news. Say hello to the boy
 Yours,
 Geo. w. Be lett.

YEAR 0N ENGISH
 TURF HAS JUST BEEN CLOSED

the champion of the year but bad luck pursued him throughout a"d the Ascot outrage kept him out of action for some time. King George won two or three races with mod crate horses but the royal livery was not seen to advantage. The one outstanding animal of the year IS Dermot McCalmont's phenomenal two year old The Tetrarch, who won all his races with superlatiye ease' in a year of good two-year-olds, and who is already screaming hot fa- vorite for next years Derby. Mc- Calmont was offered $125,O0O for his oddly marked grey colt, but he does not need the money and de- clares that he would not accept twice that amount.

London, Nov. 26-one of the mos sensational years in the history of the British turf closed Saturday at Manchester, when the curtain was rung down on the flat" racing sea son Betters retired to winter quarters" ruefully looking over their bank rolls and feeling glad that the season was over for in the twenty eight most important races not single favorite scored, and the odds against most of the winners were quite hopeless from the point of view of the sane" packer, who is not disposed to throw away good money on Hong shots"
 The disqualification of the Der by winner Craganeur the awarding of the race to the 100 to 1 shot Abeyeur, and the pulling down of King Georges horse Anmer in the same race, would have been sensa- tion enough for one year, but there were also the suffragette outrage In the Ascot Gold Cup which undoubt- aedly robbed August BelmOnt's Trae- cry of that valuable prize, the un- expected defeat of that animal in the Newmarket Jockey Club Stakes, the day after the sum of $200,O00 had been refused for him, and the equally amazing defeat of T. Pix ington's Prince Palatine two days af ter the horse had been sold to s. E. Joel, for $22O,00O.
 The season opened in sensational style for in the first big race of the year, L. Dayis's well-backed candi- date Cuthbert was disqualifie 1 for fould riding, and the Lincol shire Handicap stakes awarded t the 100 to 8 outsider Berrildon. The stewards were exceptionally busy early in the season and the dis qualification of several. other we'll fancied candidates in minor races added to the troubles of the back CTS. The Queen Prize at Kempton fell to RiVoli who started almost friendless at 100 to 8, the Newbllry Spring Cup to AIdegond at 20 to l, the Chester Cup, to The Cutler at 40 to 1 and the Kempton Jubilee Stakes to Absolute at 33 to 1.
 The great "classic" races for thre year-olds proved disastrous for in addition to the disqualification of Craganeur, who was favorite, in the Derby, the 2,OOO Guineas was won by Louvois strating at 25 to 1 and the St. Leger by a 50 to shot in Night Hawk. Only S. B. Joels Jest who won the 1000 Guineas and the Oaks was at a reasonable price @ to and 8 to 1 respectively)) but few profited by the filly's dual sue cess beyond her astute owner and his friends. Anything less than A to 1 was a surprising price for a big winner but the bowling over the odds on Prince Palatine in the Goodwin Cup, by the 100 to s chance, followed by the success of the desplsed Fitz-Yama, starting at 50 to 1, in the Caosarewitch at SS to l in the Cambridgeshire Stakes proved the last straws.
 American owners did poorly in tn season which ended today. Harry Payne Whitney in particular, had a heartbreaking sequence of seconds and thirds for which his few wins by no means compensated, August Belmont's Tracery promised to be

WATCHING NEW MOVES IN
 FINANCIAL CHECKER BOARD

Chicago, Nov. 26-Lasalle Street, the Windy City's replica of New York's Wall street, is watching with the keenest interest these days for the newest moves on the financial checker-board in a game where the city's utilities are the pieces and the outcome perhaps of more i'm portance than in any big deal that ever effected an American municipal ity.
 The game, La Sale Street says confidently and confidentially, Is to merge all the public utilities in Chicago, excepting the Chicago Tel phone Company, Into one gigantic combination. If it is played sue cessfully, one group of financiers' who will be known as the Insull- Cobe-Blair-syndicate, will have abso- lute control of the heat, power, light and transportation facilities of the second city of the United States. Samuel Insun, head of the Common wealth Edison Company; Henry A. Blair, financial head of the Chicago Railways Company, and Ira M. Cobe, chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago City Railway Com pany, the three men declared to be working the merger into shape, all issued denials of any such inten- uons today. But the talk of the giant combine persists in Chicago business centers and financial ex- perts point to recent developments to support the theory that the big merger has become something more han a dream.
 Samuel Insull, head of the Com monwealth Edison Company, itself a merger of all electric current cor porations in the city, with his as sociates, a few weeks ago assumed control of the Peoples Gas, Light and Coke Company. James A. Patten the wheat king, by the way, was one of the men in the deal and was voted a directorship in the newly organized company. While Insult was completing what was considered to be a practical merger of all the light, heat and power interests of Chicago, Blair was in the East ne gotiating for the amalgamation of a the citys surface railways. It is no secret that the merger of the sur face lines is to be followed by a similar combination of the eleYat- ed railways and that the two transportation combines are to be merged into one gigantic corporation the promoters hope at least to bring all the transportation lines into wor ing agreement before the first of next year. The next big move that La Sale street interests expect is a merger of the two big mergers int one, that will dominate the trans portation, heating, power and light situation not only in Chicago but in
 al northern Illinois counties an cities, where the Insult crowd have control.
 The Chicago telephone company, the single big public utility outside the program has a merger plan of Is own hanging fire. For several weeks the financial packers of the com pany have been attempting to get the city council to consent to the purchase of the Illinois Telephone and Telegraph Company, the auto matic phone concern, and its only rival in the local field. This pro- posed merger is being held up, pend ing information from Attorney Gen eral McReynolds as to whether or not it would violate the sherman Act.

An Open Letter to the
Telephone Using Public

is true that certain reputed rich men

our company-some of them being on
the Board Of Directors-but none of
them has made any money whatso-
ever out of dealing n our stock. They
have all paid dollar for dollar, in cash.
at par. into the treasury of our COM
pany, for every share they hold. and
they have simply come into our COM
pany because they believed it to be
a safe investment
There is, too. upon the part of the
public, a belief that the company is
largely engaged in politics. We imag-
inc this feeling is caused by the fact
that in the past, simply from the
standpoint OF elf-preservation, GER
tain corporations were almost COM
PEELED to be in politics: in these days
when the tendency is to place all cor
porations and trust affairs into the
hands of the central body, such as the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
local state commissions. ETC., to deal
wi+h the conduct of business such as
ours. being in poktics, as believed by
the public. would be a foolish thing
end entirely unnecessary. This is,
therefore. to state emphatically that
we are not. either directly or indir-
ectly, in politics, in any way, shape or
manner. and shall not be.
We are going to attempt to give
you the entire story as to our rates
We have been told. when stating to
some Of the public that we proposed
starting a campaign like this. that
our efforts would be futile: that our
subscribers would turn out to be sell
fish and only look toward the end of
getting as cheap telephone rates as
possible We do not believe this. We
believe that the great majority of the
public are inclined to be fair, and that
it is not so much of a question of
what our telephone rates are as it is
that when we make a statement re-
garding them, and show our true H.
nancing. that we shall be honest and
that the public shall know that we
are honest. That when we make a
statement as to our profits and earn
ings, showing just where the dollar
that our subscriber pays us goes, the
public may know that we are not try
ing to deceive them or keep anything
DdCh that NC w ANAA
we honestly do this and our position
seems to be just and right, we believe
that the fairness OF me public will
sustain US.
We are going to set forth the in
herent difficulties of giving universal
telephone service. These articles and
letters are not to be a piece of spe-
cial pleading or adroit use of words,
but a clear, business-like setting
forth of facts. We hope. before we
get through, both ourselves and the
public will understand each other bet
ter. There is at least no harm to be
done in trying to accomplish this
desired result.
1t is our aim to educate. please and
satisfy the public and to be educated
ourselves, 1t seems to us that every
corporation has the right Of self
defense. the same as an individual.
The public has the same right Listen
to our defense and we will listen to
