OKHOTsk DISTRICT BEING
 PROMOTED BY SEATTLEITES

Several Nomeites are in receipt
 of a circular letter from Edgar s..
 Young of Seattle. portraying in vivid words the wonderful p0ssibili- ties of the Okhotsk district of Si- beria. Mir. Young was here sum, mer before last and took a trip to Siberia. returning and worked fer the Board of Trade.
 ] While MT. Young states in his letter that he is no promoter, the lure that he holds out speaks for itself. As a literary work or art and financial camouflage it Is well done, in fact 1t is too well done for Aiaskans to swallow. He asks for mere s250.0O from each subscriber to his scheme and in return he pro- misses to stake claim 240O by l2,0QO feet. stating that only one claim can be acquired for each sub scriber. This is rather queer promise to make in as much as 1t is known that the Siberian political situation is such that no one car acquire rights or titles to anything at the present time.
 Further perusal of the pamphlet reveals that the country mentioned Is so rich in gold that all one has to do is to pick the gold from the surface and ship it to Seattle.
 In private letters received by other Nomeites it is stated that the Okhotsk district has wonderful min- eral poteutiality but the unsettled political situation is such that it is advised to be prepared for any con- tingency. Both commanders have stated that as soon as fighting fs over it will be safe for foreigners to begin work and a tax of per cent will be levied.
 Chas. Wolfe. Chas. Murray and several other Nome men are in this district and letters received from them state that the country is rich and easily worked but supplies are scarce, advising that persons con- ing into the district bring with them all supplies except flour.
 Swenson and Company, however | contemplate opening store and | supplies then will be more available. Special stress is laid on the absence 1 of mining tools and rifles, boilers l etc.

 A few people are pushed upon the stage. more get on through "pull,' but it remained for Miss Rambeau to slide on. She was attending a dramatic school in San Francisco, not with any idea of career behind the footlights for, of course. she would study medicine, but for the sake of the delsarte and physical training involved She was sliding down the bannisters one day and landed right at the feet of vaude- vile producer who was talking to the director of the school in the hall below.
 Who's that girl? She's the very type I want for the new act" the producer said.
 "Oh. she's not going on the stage" the director answered but in spite of this assurance few weeks later Marjorie made her debut in vaNde- vile.
 Then followed stock engagements with roles that most seasoned ac- dresses would attack with fear and trembling. At fourteen she was playing Camille.
 T shall never forget the opening night" she reminisced.
 When the curtain went down man in the audience came back stage to congratulate me.
 You played the part we'll, re- markedly we'll" he said. and then added. quite seriously. But I don't think you came quite up to Olga Nethersole in the same role. "~
 After Miss Rambeau had estab- lished herself in the West she sought for new lands to conquer and naturally turned to Broadway. The completeness of this conquest is proved by the fact that no matter what the play is Miss Rambeau's personal following assures a capac- ity house

Marjorie aRambeau, whose fame is heralded in electric lights twenty feet high along New York's great white way. tells of her early child hood in the Klondyke as follows:
 'Too much snow last winter? Oh, no. there never could be in New York--that is for me. You see it reminded me of may early boy hood in Alaska and l just loved it."
 Marjorie Rambeau's eyes sparkl- ed partly in rememberance of those days up in the White World, partly at the expression with which her hearers greeted her reference to her early boyhood.
