The Business Situation.

Even the most conservative of OBJ
servers are compelled to note the re-
markable stability of values, as evil
denced by the trend of the stock and
general markets. At a season of the
year commonly recognized as the dull
est, in the face of pending legislation
that promises radical changes in the
traditional commercial and financial
policies of the nation. and with prob
lem on the southern border that
threatens from time to time to create
a serious diversion, the tendencies Of
trade and commerce are uniformly ex-
cellent. Various theories are put for
ward here and there to account for
the sustained improvement in the tone
of security transactions. The strength
exhibited by stocks and bonds of ac-
cepted worth is attributed here to sup
port from the inside" there to senti-
ment, but the true explanation of it
will probably be found in the fact that
the conditions which make for ma
tional prosperity are present East and
West and North and South. Behind
stocks and bonds. behind the indus
tries that issue them. and behind the
banks and the national treasury is the
productive soil of the country. The
crops are in splendid condition. and.
while weather changes afford basis
for speculation there is nothing at
present to warrant the presumption
that this condition will not continue
up to the close of the harvest season.
There is an utter absence of dis
trust in any responsible quarter, and,
which is of even greater significance.
there is a growing belief that from
this time on every security of substan-
tial merit will show steadiness and
improvement. Nothing in the nature
of boom" on Wall street or in gen.
eral business is anticipated. What is
expected, however is that with the en-
actment of pending legislation at
Washington and with the satisfactory
adjustment of the Mexican difficulty
and the final settlement of the Balkan
disputes, relief, freedom and expan-
sion will come to trade at home and
abroad in such measure as to border
closely upon a revival of prosperity
in it's very largest sense
Reports of railroad earnings are
generally satisfactory; the Pacific
lines make an exceptionally good
showing. Iron and steel exhibit mark
ed improvement, although prices are
not altogether stable. Resumption of
building operations in Chicago after a
prolonged strike should have steady
ing influence. Cotton is passing
through a trying period, the result of
old crop selling, but rallies are as Wig
orously pressed as cuts. Sentiment in
coppers is strong and hopeful, due to
reports which show a continuously in
creasing consumption. Foreign ad'
vices are encouraging along all lines;
in Europe as in the United States
there seems to be widespread con
fidence in general and great i'm
provement of the business situation at
an early day if international complica
lions and some passing domestic dis
turbances may be brought to sue
cessful close.-Christian Science Mon
itor.

GEO. ". BARNETT
 WRITES OF NEW CAMP

Mir. Tuck Flaharty of the Board of Trade saloon, today received a letter from Geo. W. Barnett, an old timer in Skagway, but now losal ed in Chisaua gold district. With Mr. Flaharty's permission we re- produce it in full below:
 Chetenda, Sept. 24, 1913. Friend Tuck
 l will write you a few lines, as there is a chance to send mail out tomorrow. When we arrived hele there was only one cabin started That was on the second of this month, and now there must be a hundred. They sent out pcti- ton with 2S5 names to the postof- flee department for a postmaster.
 l think this camp will be hum mer in the spring, when we can get freight in on sleds. There are sev- eral outfits going to bring in boit- CTS and test the bench claims. It they are good, this will be the best camp in Alaska.
 The hills are full of prospectCrs, so there is liable to something new turn up any day, and we are right on the ground to go after it and l think we will get some good ground in the spring. We built one cabin for us all to live in, now l am building one on my lot. Got a fine location. Will have room for a Sd loon building on the same lot. vou intend to come in the spring will keep you posted as to the o1f- look. Can tell better in another couple of months.
 The only drawback now is grub is so high, but after snow comes think they will be bringing freight in for ten cents a pound. We eN- pect to get our outfit in from the lake then. If we can hold out un- til then we will be all right.
 Will write you every chance. Hope you are having a good business Haven't had a drink since 1 left Skagway. Give my regards to al the boys. Tell John GresheI I wish he was here with some iron and tools. We paid twent-five dollars for a Yukon stove today.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC
 TO ESTABLISH OFFICE HERE

Fairbanks, Sept. 3O-That the Grand Trunk railroad people will probably establish several agencies for their route at different points in Alaska and the Yukon, was the statement of J. J. Carroll, who, with G. A. McNichol, another officer of the company, has been on visit to Alaska during the past summer. MT, Carroll is superintendent of the Grand Trunk steamship lines, with headquarters in Seattle, while Mir McNichol is superintendent of the Grand Trunk railway system, now building its line eastward from Prince Rupert.
 MT. Carroll stated today that the company expected it's road to be completed before this time mex year. Being the road farthest north with eastern connections, it is expected that a great portion of the business of all Alaska points will be transacted over that route.
 For this reason, it is intended that a number of agencies be estab- lished in Alaska, the exact points t be named after Messrs. Carroll and McNichol render their report MT. Carroll stated while here recent Iy that he expected the agencies would be four in number, and that he and his companion would rec ommend the establishment of a Fairbanks office. It is probable that Dawson, Nome and Skagway will also get offices.

PRICE 10 CENTS
GOLD DISCOVERED TEN
 MILES ABOVE DONJEK

Dawson, Oct. 1O-ArriYals from Donjek, on the White, bring word of the discovery of a new gold bearing stream ten miles above Donjek, which has been christened Goodfellow creek. It is on the Canadian side, and is about fifteen miles in length.
 The discoverers were Lorenzo Her man Herd and James William Me Donald, of Dawson. They left here several weeks ago on one of the steamers, with outfits for the winter. and were not long getting busy banning, with the consequence they staked two discovery claims adjoin- ing. MT. Herd is a member of the Goodfellow's club, an auxiliary of the Odd Fellows lodge, Dawson, of which he is a past noble grand, and the creek is named after the club.
 Jack Maloney, who has recently returned, states that the creek is staked from the mouth to the sky line. Allowing about ten claims to the mile, each claim being 500 feet long in Yukon, there must be some thing like 15O claims staked on the main stream. One pup is staked to the extent of eight claims, and oth- CTS may be staked soon.
 Goodfellow creek was discovered September IS. It is understood gold was found on discovery, three above and six below several days ago, and it may be showing up now on other claims!

ARE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER THE PROSPECT

Washington, Oct. 1O-The posJoI flee department displays but little enthusiasm in regard to taking oY- CT the management Of the Alaska cable service. The officer in charge of the whole system, who has his headquarters at Seattle, has stat ed it as his opinion that the post office department will take charge very soon. possibly by the first or next January.
 In the event of the change being made it is said that J. B. L. Hick- ersou, of Seattle, who is now chief clerk under the war department, will be chosen as general superin- tendent. Mir. Hickerson has been employed on the system for a num- Der of year, and being thoroughly familiar with conditions, it is though both at Washington and at Seattle. that he will be placed in charge

REPORT THE WHITE RIVER
 ALIVE WITH POLLING BOATS

Dawson, Oct. 1O-The little steam CT Flying, which got in Saturday Sept. 27th, from Donjek with her owner, Captain Miller, in command, has been put on the beach for the winter. The steamer made the trip from Donjek in two days. The White several days ago was a foot higher at DOnjek than when the Nasutlin landed her cargo there.
 The Splegatus, which got in Sat urday. landed all the Vidette freight at Donjek, demonstrating the great utility of the first class gasoline boat in such waters. The boat is now loading for a trip up theS tewar to Mayo with mail and supplies. On her return she may make a run up the White.
 The Burch launch is being tried out this afternoon, and may make a trip up the White.
 Men are leaving on every steam CT with polling boats and outfits, and hitting the White for the long mush up stream. It is ninety miles from the mouth to Donjek. Late arrivals report that part of the river alive with polling boats.

The Wrong Kind of "Home Rule.

new excise board in displacing the ex-
perienced clerk who has served so ably
and conscientiously during many years.
to make room for personal New Jersey

OF home rule performance which the
community had reason to expect from
he preliminary announcements of the

r0issoners have gone to Pennsylvania
for a member of the board of assessors,
selecting a man who, though physically a
resident Of Washington for many years,
yet holds proudly to his voting privilege
in the keystone state. His appointment
meritorious as il may be on the score Of
particular qualifications for the job. has
shocked the citizens of Washington, and
now comes the virtual removal OF good
man, who knows the work thoroughly.
who has served so honestly in position
that has doubtless offered many oppor-
tunities for quiet profit that he leaves his
funds. Not SO much for the sake Of Mr..
Williams, whose case appeals strongly to
the sympathies of the people, but for the
sake of the fufillment of promises of
genuine home rule for the District. this
initial action by the excise board is to be
