MOREFAMILIES ARE WANTED

Commenting on an interview from Dr. C.. O. Georgeson, head of agricul- tural experiment work in Alaska, con- corning his recent trip to the Interior and developments there and in his work, the Skagway Alaskan says:
 What is needed for the Interior is more families-men with their wives and children. The average poor man in the States who would like to come to Alaska can not do so oh account of the heavy expense at tached to it. Men hasten after a pros pect of a million in a year or two, but when it comes to the farming game, they know what clearing land building home and starting in to till the soil means. It's long, slow process, and when you have to freight all your machinery, tools, cattle and the like over two thousand miles of expensive transportation system, man must have some financial back ing to do it. It is not the same prop osition as when the men came West Then they could pack their all on a prairie schooner and start West as sured that if the Indians did not get them and they wanted to return it was possible to do so in the same way.
 Alaska is not that kind of a prop osition. It's no harder from the stand point of the man who is on the field and the prospects are as good or bet ter than they were in the pioneer days in the West, but when it comes to get ting here you must have more than the man who came West had.
 ''There is one reason for the faith of Alaskans that when a man does come he is out of the ordinary. He is ready to take a chance, and it's good gamble that he will make good in the country. But we eneed men with families, men who will make Alaska their home, who will demand schools, and trading centers, and start small towns for the sale of some of the surplus stock And we need a cheaper freight and passenger rate. These will make Alaska the great land she is certain to become"

Death and Ruin to Men Caused by Fascinating Los An-

HER POWER IS FATAL
Whole Gamut of Passionate Emotions Enshroud Career of Maud kafitz Trouble, Love, Hate, Re-
 venge, Mark Career

Los Angeles, Cal-Mrs. Maud Ka- fitz-a vampire in real life!
 The woman around whom centers the suicide, of Charles McGwire, the bombing of the residence of Oscar Lawler and the sordid tragedy of ruined home and brOken-hearted hus- band is, by her record, the stage vam- pire become a living personality.
 . Her life study is a character study of fascination-her fascination-her power-over men of certain type. Men mark the milestOnes of her life. And these men suffered.
 William Kafitz, Charles McGwire and her other friends and admirers were drawn to the flame of her per sona!itr and were scorched by the blaze. Her husband died, broken hearted, eight months after she shot him. McGwire lies in a suicides grave, dishonored, and charged with the bombing of the residence of Os- car Lawler and the serious injuring Sf MT. and Mrs. Lawler Those other men whose lives touched hers are in troubled waters.
 Always Trouble.
 Trouble, trouble-love, hate, Ter venge, the whole gamut of passionate emotions, enshroud the career of Maud KafitZ. And always trouble.
 Born in Toronto, Ohio, 40 years ago, shM has been characterized by her own sister as a 'wayward girl" since she was eleven years old.
 Little is known of her life up to the time of her meeting William KafitZ in Los Angeles in 19O5 but she had been in California befOre in 1900, and there were rumOrs of a tragedy in San Jose. A man shot another man there. Both are said to have been admirers of the then Maud Myers. Her remarkable in- Huence over men of certain type had, as, far as can be learned, claimed it's first tragic denouement.
 In 1905 Maud Myers came to Los Angeles with her parents and sister. They rented a house at Winfield and Westlake William Kafitz, who was in the real estate business, had this house on his list and called there to show it to a prospective buyer. He n1et Maud Myers, and his middle-aged heart throbbed with youth. He came to sell He remained to court-and to regret. They were married in 1906.
