FAIRBANKS, A MISTAKE

SEATTLE, Aug. 29.-The founding of the city of Fairbanks, the most northern terminus of the Alaska rail- road, in 1902, was due to a mistate in taking water route by Captain John Barnette according to relatives liivng in this city.
 Captain Barnette sailed up the Yu- kon river to investigate the Tanana river. Furnished with some of the inaccurate maps of the period, he mistook the Cinema slough for the Tanana river and sailed to the pres ent site of Fairbanks before discov- ering his error. He was forced to discharge the greater part of his cargo of trade goods to tighten the boat in maneuvering it back to the main stream.

THE IMAGINATION OF A
 SPECULATIVE PHILOSPHER

When I tell you that Seward is going to be one of the great Cities of the Pacific remarked Ex-Gover- nor Sulzer, ''do not be surprised. It is coming with the years. With a vision that never fails me I can pre- dict it's destiny, and it's greatness, and it's glory.
 If you want to know what I see come back an hundred years from now, and you will realize that west ward the course of Seward takes it's way. During the coming century the North Pacific is going to play a leading part in World affairs. Sew ard will be the key stragetic in the greatest drama of the earth.
 "Years ago, when I predicted the growth of Seattle and Los Angeles many said I was just allowing my imagery to run away with my com mon sense, but the intervening years have mere than justified my vision, and confirmed my predictions.
 Just look back for a moment. Yes terday was the twenty-frst birthday of Seward. Do you see what has happened here in those few years. We'll, they are infinitesimal to what is going to happen here in the next quarter of century. On account of her marvellous advantages, Seward will go forward with giant strides in her career of material prosperity.
 Congratulations to Seward on re- alizing her majority. All hail Sew ard-Queen City of the North Paci- fc.
