HOLLAND TALKS WAR

STRUNG BETWEEN
 ANCHORAGE AND SEWARD

The trails between Anchorage and Seward are Uttered now with old clothes, handbags and a thousand and one odds and ends which are vivid re- minders of the fact that hundreds of men, who never before saw Alaska and who had no idea of what they were to meet in packing over the trail, have followed the railroad ex- citement. Benjamin L. Campbell, the we'll known engineer of the COmmis- sion suggested this morning that some secondhand dealer might go out and get fine stock of goods. The men from foreign countries who come to work on the railroad carry the most extraordinary loads out of Seward and are forced to shed their "valu- ables" as they go along in the deep snow country.

Fugitive Seattle
 Cashier Arrested
Oliver Cline is Now Charged With Robbing Pacific Coast Co.
 of $1OOOOO.

SEATTLE, April S.-0liver Cline, the absconding cashier of the Pacific Coast Company, was arrested in New Orleans yesterday after a search of three weeks. He is now accused of having embedded more than a hun dred thousand dollars of the com pany's funds. When arrested his wife was with him and in his possession was found the sum of SS,35O. When asked if he intended to fight the at tempt to extradite him he declared that he did not but that he is anxious to return to Seattle and face his trial.
 (Note: The wording of the former message telling that Cline had ab- seconded made it appear that he was only seventeen years of age but it should be that he had been seventeen years cashier of the big company. Cline was very we'll known and was trusted absolutely. Of all the people of Seattle he was the kind of man to be least suspected of being a thief)
