' 5 ' GOOD TIMES FOR ALASKA Tale'' ef Prosperity Related by Boi. tontaa from Rampart City, Who Visits States. , R. Kaffenboyd of Rampart, Alaska, la a guest at the Millard. Mr. Kaffenboyd Is a leading fur merchant In the Land of the Midnight Sun and is on his return to Boa ton, 111 old home, to spend the winter. ; "Rampart City lies about 800 miles north west of Dawson, on the Tukon river," said Mr. Kaffenboyd. "and Is a town of about l.00 Inhabitants. The settlers are largely Americans and Rampart la, of course,' in. American territory. The town Is sustained by the mining Industries In the vicinity. A very rich strike waa made near Rampart last' spring, and though we were not af Cipted With a big rush, the result has been to wonderfully stimulate business at Ram part. . There are some coal mines in the vicinity, but the coal is too young to make a satisfactory fuel, so we depend largely t fuel on the abundance of timber of easy acoess to US. The fur industry is large one there and a great deal of money la made out of it. The furs obtained are from the Arctlo fox, sliver gray fox. sable, marten, bear, otter, musk ox and deer of different varieties. The seal do not come up the liver for enough to make their capture profitable In our vicinity. In fact, the shore seals do not produce a very good marketable fur. The Island seals are those most preferred and they are becoming scarce. Our open season at Rampart begins with the middle of May or the first of June and continues to about September 25. i "There are no agricultural possibilities along the Yukon, except it be for quick growing vegetables, such as lettuce, but they grow so rank as to have s bitterish, weedy taste and are not grown much. ,Ws have but two seasons, the warm and cold seasons. In summer the temperature will often get up to M or more and In winter down to TO below aero. There Is very little wind along the Tukon and we do not par tlcularly suffer In even this extremely low temperature. There Is a great future ahead for the Alaskan country.

MEN OF AFFAIRS IN CONTROL Basil of Baoceai Attained by the Toung Hen's Christian Association, DR. WARNER TELLS OF THE WORK'S GROWTH laaaaeaae Importance of the Assoela tloa la Soilness as Well ao Social Life Bhowa by Some Isapres slvo Flgares. The success which has attended tha Toung Men'a Christian association in the United States is due to the fact that It has been managed and built up by men of af fairs, men who have been successful at the head of some of the largest business enterprises in the country. These men have brought the same business sagacity and experience to tne management of the association that they used in making their own ventures successful. This idea, ex pressed In a more extended form last even' Ing at the second annual dinner of the state executive committee of the Toung Men'a Christian association tn the Dellone hotel, came from Dr. Luclen C. Warner bf New Tork City, chairman of the na tional executive committee, and himself a man of affairs. Work of tho Association. Dr. Warner responded to the toast, "In vestments in a Great Institution.' He was warmly applauded when he arose. His re marks were largely statistical. Among other things he stated there were in the North American 1,800 associations, with 375. 000 members, 467 buildings, valued at $26, 000.000, 82,800 students, 6,w0 Bible class stu dents and about $4,000,000 spent annually in carrying on the work. He explained how tha 577 city associations were the trunk of the association tree, having a large part of the members and doing the larger part of the work. The college associations deal with the young men who would most widely Influence the destinies of the country. Of railroad associations there are 204, a few years ago largely supported by the roads themselves, but now receiving 60 per cent of their income from the men themselves. He touched also on the 107 colored associa tions and forty-one formed among the In dians. The speaker drew an Interesting Illus tration of the growth of the association idea from three buildings standing side by side in Buffalo. They were the first, second and new homes of the association there. The oldest was meant for merely gospel meetings and a reading room, the second was a building of the sort now in Omaha, with gymnasium, baths, etc., and the last was a nine-story steel, fireeproof structure. with two distinct new features. These are the dormitories, which occupy four floors, giving the association an income and mak ing it possible always to have large at tendances at all meetings. The other is the enlarged idea found in the provision for tha boys' department. The speaker Im pressed on his hearers the great value of this latter work, which is the most suc cessful bridge over the period of disaffec tion reached by boys between the Sunday school age and the time of becoming church members. Chancellor Andrews Presides. Ninety cov ers were' laid for the dinner and the seats were all filled when Chan cellor E. Benjamin Andrews of the Uni versity of Nebraska, as toastn aster, called on Rev. E. H. Jenks of the First Pres byterian church for the invocation. "A:i people who read at all," said Mr. Andrews, "are constantly reminded of tbs crops in the west. No state, I think, la up .to its record like Nebraska. Beyond all question the crop this year will bring into the state a larger amount of .money than any before. I often ask people In the east to.gueoo the value of our crops, but they never . come . to more than 33H per cent of it. But I often tell people It I not our crops or our cattle, but our chil dren that are our best product." The. chancellor then Introduced W. J. HIU of Lincoln, chairman of the state com mittee, to answer to the toast "The Product of the State: Toung Men." Mr. Hill traced the history of the associa tion through the hard times when so many had failed and gave some Interesting illus trations of tho work being done. One of the most prominent and entertain ing speakers was Richard C. Morse of New Tork City, general secretary of the International committee. His remarks under "Supervisory Agencies" were much ap plauded. George D. McDIll of Chicago, In ternationa railway secretary, also talked pleasingly of his department. Prominent Men Present. In addition to the speakers of the evening many prominent men were about tho board. Leading local business and profes sional men were in number, as were also the pastors of Omaha churches.
