Seattle Chamber of Commerce Per.
 About Conditions.

SEATTLE, March 24.-The Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has issued statement warning unemployed men and women against going to Alaska unless they have jobs awaiting them or have business in the north.
 The circular states that the de- yelopment of the country will be slow even after the government be. gins construction work on the rail- roads and that conditions will be hard for men without means. Men who have not sufficient funds to main tain them for one year and bring them back to the states should not take chances in Alaska.
 Persons who are unable to endure the hardships of frontier life and per. form heavy labor if necessary are told that they should keep away from the north as they will be unable to secure employment and must become burdens to their friends. Idle and un. employed men are reported to have flocked north already to the extent that many of them are on the verge of starvation and may possibly have to be sent out of the country.

CONSIDERING
VARIETY OF PLANS
May Sell Linden Street Property, or
Cut Into Building Lots, or Form
Hotel Stock Company

Lyman E. Holden, who recently bought
of the Mrs. Mary P Durham estate the
Dalton houes on Linden street, which re-
Gently was seriously damaged by fire and
water, has under consideration several pos
slble uses of the property He will first
clear the front of the lot. tearing down the
main part of the house and moving the ell
part to the west end of the lot, to be oc-
cupied by r. H. Messenger, who is en-
ployed by Mr. Holden and who operates
the greenhouses on the premises.
Mr.. Holden would sell the lot provided
he could find a purchaser who would give
assurance of the erection of a suitable
residence, or if he could find a purchaser
for his own residence on Park place he
would erect house ON the Linden street
property himself IF no other plan is
evolved by spring he viii cut the land into
building lots, Of which there would be
nine of good dimensions, running a street
through the middle of the grounds
Another plan which Mr. Holden is con-
sidering is that of forming a stock com
pany to erect on the premises hotel to
cost from $4,000 to 100000, of which
he would subscribe to the extent of sew
eral thousand dollars. The board of trade
undertook few years ago to interest capi
tai for erecting hotel on the Crowel
park property, but for various reasons
nothing came of the project The Linden
street grounds is spacious and Mr. Hol
den Is confident that hotel there would
be a paying investment
