NEW CHURCHES

If churches and schools are a truth
full index to the character of any
people, then may Fitzgerald take unto
itself much qualification, for besides
seven church edifices already in serv-
ice in this city, there are three new
ones in the process of construction
and one, an eight thousand dollar
structure, contemplated and with lair
assurance of being built. Our educa-
tional interests are represented by two
commodious and handsome ward
school buildings, one college, (The
Southern University and two or more
private schools. This colony possesses
advantages which must prove rarely
attractive to all persons, but she is
especially strong in those features
which appeal to the better clements OF
society. The City of Fitzgerald
proves constant revelation to heI
visitors in numerous ways.

INFORMATION FROM
MR.. FITZGERALD
Thinks Affairs of Colony in Better
Condition Than Ever Before

Thinks Affairs of Colony in Better
Condition Than Ever Before
Dear Sir:-The Colony is TODAY in
better shape than we have ever had it,
and things look more prosperous than
ever. We only need water, light and
sewer system now to complete our
town. Let the city once get started
upon those contracts so that the
people we bring down here may see
that, while we have made country
settlement, we are yet going to be a
city, up-to-date, and we will have set
tiers come from all parts of the
country-men OF means and who are
not afraid to invest them. AS we
now stand we can only promise such
people that the plants will be put in,
but if the city was far enough along to
begin the work it would make great
difference in keeping people who
come to see us.
The Colony Company was today
never in better shape. We are soon to
bring the work upon the big hotel to
a close and this will stop one principal
source of expenditure that had to be
met in the past Now that this is
about completed the Colony Company
Ca begin to accumulate for the stock.
Of course we have other enterprises
we must aid-small industries, the
river road and such things as will add
traffic to our city, we must yet pro-
vide for the best we can. We must still
keep ourselves before the people of the
north by constant advertising and let
them know where we are, for it is
through the medium of advertising
that we get our immigration. l notice
extensive improvements on the tracts
outside the city and there will be much
more raised i'll the Colony domain this
year than last this will be a great help
as much of the supplies heretofore re
CURED had to be purchased from else
where and freight paid on it, but OUT
own farms will supply all this and a
surplus besides. All these things will
help us this year and if the city is able
to get supply of water you will see
many new buildings going up this
spring. I am perfectly satisfied and
all things look good. Let all pull to-
gether and we will come out in good
shape
l hope to be back in March with an
excursion of five hundred. shall
work hard for it. yours,
PHI. Fitzgerald, Colony President

INTERIOR EXPERIENCES
 HEAVIEST SNOWFALL
 IN SEVERAL SEASONS

Informal son received from the inter- for indicates that an unusual fall of snow has taken place in many places since the first of the year. Due to this condition travel has been held up so q considerable degree, many of the mushers staying over in the towns, and road houses on account of trail conditions.
 The Kuskokwim section reports a three-foot fall since the latter part of February, with approximately five feet of the downy stuff covering the early winter deposit Oldtimers of the Ruby and Iditarod sections report the fall in those sections was the greatest since the winter of 1909-10. A short age of snowshoes caused many of the trail burners to hole-up until the trails leading to their destinations had been broken, which is generally done oy the mail carriers.
 Although the heavy fall has retard- ed those who do freighting it is hail. ed with delight by the mining men as they forsee a considerable flow of water for their spring mining opera tions which is the controlling factor for an early output of gold.

b|G SALMON PACK IS PREDICTED FUR
 THIS SEASON
SEATTLE GAMERS AND BROk- |. FRS oPTtMiSTic-LARGE RUN
 ON PihkS EXPECTED

SEATTLE, Ma. 9-Brokers and can ne-s here look for big salmon sea son.
 A shortage of canned salmon is al ready apparent and the price is high CT than previously in two years, it is stated. Practically every cannery in the Puget Sound district is expected to operate. Those familiar with salmon habits predict a big run of pinks and a light one of reds.
 Several local concerns are planning to send floating canneries to Alaskan waters.
 Dan Campbell, president of the As toria and Puget Sound Canning Com pany said today that he believes there will be fair run of pinks on the sound this year, but he does not ex- pect many sockeyes to appear. Last year the pink run was not large. The run of reds in Alaska, he believes, should be fair this season.
 Prices are higher than they have been for two years, but prices two years ago were very low.
 MT. Campbell's company has sent supplies and part of its Excursion In let crews to Alaska, the first leaving for the north on the Vermont few days ago. Several more cannerymen will sail on the steamship Spokane from Seattle tomorrow and shortly others will sail on the company's ship Bear The oriental workers will leave for the inlet on April f.
