"One of the outstanding impress sions created by my visit to Seward is the apparent energies being manifest ed by the chamber of commerce." said c. J.

 And Seward will find Anchorage ready to cooperate and assist in any manner possible, if the sentiment of the railroad city chamber of com merce can be taken as an augury. This was in evidence recently when the chamber declined to launch move ment looking to securing the capital in the event of the first division se- ceding. or the capital being moved further west, Anchorage, contrary to the impression prevailing in some parts of the Territory, has no desire to profit at the expense of other com munities, but rather is committed t developing her resources along conf mercial lines, and lending her suppor 1 to other communities along the rail [ road in the same respect.

DRAB FACT At

THE KINGS TOMB
Doubtless more than one news
paper reader has had it flash
across his mind, when reading OF
the excavation of Egyptian tombs
that the whole matter was be-
ing carried on with more of the
Accomplishments of modern CIR
Gus than of a scientific investi-
CATION. The promptness with
which prices were affixed to the
materials discovered; the protests
of the monumental natives
against the violation of the last
sanctuary of kings; above all the
unparalleled press-agenting done
far and wide-these things were
sufficient to cause the obscrvant
to be ready for the hook when 1t.
came, If there should be a hook.
We shall sec what we shall
see, but meantime the facts are
these. 1t is Rothschild money that
is digging up the tombs, and it is
a private commercial enterprise.
Lord Carnarvon married daugh-
ter of the Rothschilds, hired an
explorer named Carter, and
started out where the digging
seemed to Ice frce-for-all.
Arthur Weigall, formerly con-
nected with The antiquities de-
partmcnt of the Egyptian Govern
ment, has given us an illuminat-
ing picture of the Grass material
ism that surrounds the work
to date. He says that the delay
which continues up to the time
of this writing is occasioncd by
the determination Of the govern
mcnt that Carnarvon shall not
be permitted to open Tutank-
hamcn's inner tomb in secret. 1t
is minated that there has been
