which she annexed two of Denmark's largest

throw the onus of reproach upon Austria and
to open the way for war soon atterward with
the latter power AS result OF this second
war Austria was deposed from and Prussia was
placed at the head OF the German world, and
Hanover. Electoral Hesse, Frankfort and Mas

seem the aggressor. The result he vainly

The elimination of his career was the mo-

 ATTRACTED ID
 NEW RAILROAD
FOUR MEN ARRIVING HERE TELL OF CONDITIONS AT
 COAST END.

Four men who arrived in Fairbanks last Wednesday from knik, where the railroad work is being started, told of the way people are Crowding to the coast end of the new railroad The men arriving here from Knik are J. Walker, J. P Wilbur, E. Par geon and Dan Gillis
 The men travelled on foot up the Matanuska river to the Valdez trail. and when they reached the Panama river at Mccarthy. they made the boats.
 According to these men, labor con ditions at the coast end of the rail road are anything but good. The government has about 800 men at work, but there are from 5000 to 5000 men there wanting work
 On every boat arriving there, there are from 50 to 250 people all attract ed there by the building of the new road. The government is planning, it is explained, to build only about 35 miles of road this year.
 It is believed by these men that the terminus can be established on Knik Arm, just as well as at Sew ard, as good harbor can be made there. Thus it will not materially hurt the government if the suits now pending should prevent the sale of the Alaska Northern to the govern ment.
 At Seward there is a great boom in the prices of real estate Bus mess lots are being sold for as much as $10,OO0 each
 The four men left Knik on June 23. They expect to remain in this district.

 This rock goes about three or four dollars on an average, but some time ago very high values were dis covered on it. which led to quite a boom when Chilberg took an option from Mike Young and Hamburger.
