SEEK SAMPLES
FOR EXHIBIT
Land Department Asks Miners and
Farmers to Aid Resource
Display.

Last fall one of the rooms on the
ground floor of the railroad office
building at Seward was set aside for
the purpose of exhibiting samples Of
agricultural and mineral products and
other resources of the country tribu-
tary to the railroad.
Active steps are now being taken
by the land and industrial department
to secure these samples and an ar
rangement has been made so that ores,
grains and other exhibits of that kind
can be delivered to any railroad sta
ton along the line of the government
railroad The samples should be adj
dressed to the land and industrial de-
partment at Seward Each item should
be labeled-if ore, the kind, with Il
statement as to its approximate value
per ton in each kind of metals, and
the mine or locality from which the
ore was taken. All grains and farm
ing products should be properly label
ed with statement as to whose farm
or homestead it came from, and in the
vicinity of what town.
The land and Industrial department
realizes that without cooperation of
the farmers, miners and others it will
be impossible to make a creditable
showing and it is hoped that every
one will take an active interest and
assist in securing a valuable exhibit.
The purpose of the exhibit is to Sc
cure good reliable and intelligent in
formation concerning the resources Of
the territory tributary to the railroad,
and the department believes that there
is no better and more effectual way
of doing this than by showing actual

TROOPS WATCH

Summit and Northwest Mounted
Police From There On.

SKAGWAY, June 25.-(By mailD-
United States troops are guarding all
bridges from Skagway to the summit
of the White Pass & Yukon railroad
Also detail of troopers are massed
at the international summit ready to
respond to any appeal from points
between the summit and Whitehorse
or on the upper Yukon of troops from
Fort Seward to the river.
Just what occasioned the hurrying
to Skagway has not been ascertained.
Two weeks ago several special immi-
grafton officers were sent hurrying
north to Skagway and it is believed
they reported an alien plot to damage
the railroad property. Several bridges
on the railroad would prove easy to
destroy, crippling the railway for an
entire season.
The Northwest Mounted Police
guard the line from the summit to
WhitchorSe and the summit and Skag
way the American soldiers from the
fort are placed All people travelling
on the road are required to have per

When a breeze f1uttered the foliage,
shine pierced the green mantle and
danced like gold on the ground.
Duane had always felt the strange
ness of this kind of place, and like
wise he had felt a protecting, harbor-
ing something which always seemed to
him to be the sympathy of the brake
for a hunted creature. Any unwound-
ed creature, strong and r~esourceful,
was safe when he had glided under
the low, rustling green roof of this
wild covert.
Duane wanted to cross the river
If that was possible, and, keeping in
the brake, work his way upstream till
he had reached country more hospit-
able. He pushed on. His left arm
had TO be favored, as he could scarcely
10Y it. Using his right to spread
the willows, he slipped sideways be-
tween them and made fast time.
Finally after a toilsome penetration
of still denser brush he broke through
to the bank of the river.
He faced a wide, shallow, muddy
stream with brakes OF the opposite
bank extending like a green and yellow
wall. Duane perceived at a glance
the futility of his trying to cross at
this point. Everywhere the sluggish
water layei quicksand bars. Before
leaving the bank he tied his hat upon
a pole and lifted enough water to
quench his thirst. Then he worked
his way back to where thinner growth
made advancement easier, and kept on
upstream till the shadows were so
deep he could not see. Feeling around
for a place big enough TO stretch out
on, ne lay down. For the time being
he was as safe there as he would have
been beyond In the Rim Rock. He was
tired. though not exhausted, and in
spite of the ~throbbing pain in his arm
he dropped at ace into sleep.

ran between wide, low, fiat lands COW
cred by a dense growth of willow.
Cottonwood, mesquite, prickly pear,
and other growths mingled with the
willow, and altogether they made a
matted, tangled copse, a thicket that
an inexperienced man would have
considered impenetrable.
The depths of this brake Duane had
penetrated was a silent, dreamy,
strange place. In the middle of the
day the light was weird and dim.

but his endurance had never been put
to a grueling test. And that worried
Duane. His life bad made 1t inn
possible to keep one horse very long
at a time, and this M was an I'M
known quantity.
Duane had only one plan-the only
plan possible in this case-and that
was to make the river-bOttoms, where
he might elude his pursuers in the
willow brakes. Fifteen miles or so
would bring him to the river, and this
was not a hopeless distance for any
good horse if not too closely pressed.
He began to hope and look for a trail
or a road turning off TO right or left.
There was none. A rough. mesquite
dotted and yucca-spired country ex-
tended away on either side. Duane
believed that he would be compelled to
take { this hard going. One thing
was certain-he had to go round the
village. The river, however, was on
the outskirts of the village; and once
in the willows, he would be safe.
Dust-clouds far ahead caused his
alarm to grow. He watched with his
eyes strained; he hoped to see a
wagon, a few stray cattle. But no.
he soon deserted several horsemen.
Shots and yells behind him attested
to the fact that his pursuers likewise
had seen these newcomers on the scene.
More than a mile separated these two
parties, yet that distance did not keep
them from soon understanding each
other. Duane waited only to see this
new factor show signs of sudden quick
action, and then, with a muttered
curse. he spurred his horse off the
road into the brush.
He chose the right side, because the
river lay nearer that way and put his
horse TO his best efforts, straight
ahead. He had to pass those men.
When this was seemingly made inn
possible by a deep wash from which
he had TO turn. Duane began to feel
cold and sick. Almost he lost his bear
ings, and finally would have ridden
toward his enemies had not good
fortune favored him In the matter OF
an open burned-oyer stretch or
ground.
Here he saw both groups of pur-
suers, one on each side and almost
within gunshot. Their sharp yells, as
much as bis cruel spurs. drove his
