We are informed through the daily papers that the Northern Navigation company has sold out their steamers and wharfS to the American Yukon Navig- ation company, and that the American Yukon Navigation company will give efficient service to Fairbanks, both from St Michael and Dawson" and that ''the Northern Commercial company's bus mess will be continued as heretofore"
 After a brief season of competition be- tween the Northern Navigation co. and the American Yukon Navigation or White Pass company ill the carrying trade between the outside and the in terior of Alaska, the Northern Navig- ation company has sold out all it's right title and interest in it's fleet of steamers to +he opposition and abandoned the transportation business.

From Manufacturers RECORD
No town or city desiring to Issue a
pamphlet setting forth its advantages
ought TO undertake to do so until a
copy Of a book entitled, ~El Paso. What
II Is. and Why" issued by the chamber
Of commerce OF that city, has been seen
and studied. This is a publication OF
very rare and unusual excellence. No
one can even casually glance over il
without having a desire to visit FL
Paso and see for himself the reality
OF the things here outlined in picture
and in word. Splendid office build
ings. beautiful homes, magnificent
streets. great Industrial enterprises. are
all so strikingly illustrated as to ap-
peal Immediately TO the Imagination
But FL PasO does not have to depend
upon appealing 70 the Imagination. for
the facts presented appeal nightly TO
the judgment Of the reader. The very
fact that this publication, as beautiful
as IL is, srtistically designed and splen-
didlv printed. IS a home production is in
itself evidence OF the degree OF excel
lence to which FL Paso has attained in
many lines. A more perfect piece OF
printing has rarely, II ever. come into
the office OF the Manufacturers Record.
The chamber OF commerce Of that thriv-
ing Texas city is to be congratulated
upon this piece OF work.

" ERXES was a Persian king, who

Persia is no great shakes Of a

in those DAYS il was rich and mighty,

Xerxes came to the throne IN $50 B.
c. and was very successful. He sup
pressed the Egyptians, overthrow the
Babylonians, laid low the Shamash-
irbans and grievously walloped the
Tarziyans. This inflated him TO sucn
a degree that when the Greeks heiped
out some struggling neighbors against
him, he declared war and marched on
Greece with all his army.
At this point the first effective press
agent work Of ancient times appeared
As XerXes approached Greece his army
grew in size until, according TO all the
war correspondents Of that time, II
consisted OF 100000 soldiers, 100000
horses, 10000 elephants, 5000 engines
