born. The Oldest, Daisy, is the wife OF
j. Otis Swift, V ell known In the literary
world, who is in newspaper work IN New
York city-thelr home. The youngest
daughter, Agnes, remained at home, with
untiring devotion to care for her aged
mother Miss Agnes has also, for long
time, been a popular teacher IN the city
of Lewiston, to which work she Will re-
turn after a much needed rest. The de-
ceased also leaves two grandsons, TO
whom she was greatly attached and who
are destined to become shining lights in
literary work, for which the older, when
only ten years of age, showed wonder
full talent. Mrs. Peabody was daughter
of the late Moses Garcelon of Troy, of
whose large family, the youngest, Mrs.
William Cotton of Lewiston, alone re-
mains. Your correspondent has from
childhood been all intimate friend of the
family and among her treasures has many
beautiful letters and poems written by
the deceased, whose strong attachment
to old home and friends, her ardent love
of nature, with her unusual gift of Ian
guage gave an added charm to her let
tiers, which will be greatly missed Much
sympathy is felt for the bereaved ones,
especially for her who is left alone in the
home.

MANY COMING
 TO THE NORTH
 TO FIND WORK

Hundreds are coming to Alaska this season according to T. w. Flaw kins, who returned on the Alaska Sat urday after a trip to the states.
 Everywhere l went," said MT. Flaw hns, T was bombarded by questions from those who have either been in Alaska in previous years, and intend to return, or from those who believe that the chances up here for work and personal gain is greater than in the states. Wages for common labor is good m the states but the high cost of living absorbs all of this amount. Living is cheaper in Alaska than It is n the states, and although this nay ,eem ar astonishing statement, it is the truth.
 In Denver, Portland and Seattle there are hundreds of former Alas NanS who are coming back north, and especially to this section, just as soon as there is a demand for labor, which will be within the next month or 50. Not only laboring men but investors arc coming north and many are com ing to Seward, points to the westward, in the mining district north of An chorage and to the Iditarod. 1 do not believe that the commission will ex- perence any difficulty in securing plenty of men for the railroad work mapped out for this year"
