 The foregoing is the text of tele- grams interchanged between the com mercial organizations of Seward and Fairbanks yesterday, after the news concerning the route picked by the President for the Alaska railroad had been flashed over the wires. Both messages are evidence of the fact that the organizations will do all in their power to forward the interests of the Territory generally, particularly to that part which is to be traversed by the railroad, but the local club is awaiting the sugges- tions of the Seward organization before proceeding to do anything definite along that line.

seemed cxorbitant. but it was less

With the aid Of maid and two

dark. as they faced Acourt But when
Helen switched on the silk-shaded

The next hour wa spent in un-

Snatching up her hat and coat, Helen

She waited breathlessly.
