From an interview with Ool. Ot

commercial club, published In -,ie
Commercial Club Bulletin of August
-2, 1911, Colonel Case, in company
: with Ills wife and mother, paid 'i
\ isit to Southeastern and South

! '-his is a synopsis of w liat lie ims
to say of the relations, existing and
Mesired, between se.ittlo and tb-j
northland;
"Alaska lias sufficient assets In
her scenery aud undeveloped re
sources," *aid Col. Case, "to star
! tlo the world and to provide a live
lihood and business profit for sev
! oral millions of people.
"The greatest scenery in all the
j world lias not been capitalized.
Alaska lias it. Tourists of world
wide experience pronounce her

i too that every cent or tlio sum

| Is needless to say that many of

patronize Alaska ^Merchants and

to development would ensue.
"As one views the hundreds of
miles of mountains on the way to
Skagxvay, wo find on one side of
the channel the famous Treadwell
mine, h> dato the largest in the
J world. On the other side, a few
! miles farther on, ive comq to the
Al.-iska-Gast^lneau mine, upon •which
more than $5,000,000 iavo befen
expended i>rlor to tha commence
ment of'actual mining operations.
This mine will surpaas the Tread
well as the world's greatest. Be
tweeu these two and beyond for
miles and miles lies a country
scarcely scratched by prospectors,
country that cannot fail to bring
forth mineral discoveries in annu
ally increasing number. ' Such de
velopment means trade beyond cal
culation for Seattle, and Seattle
should see to it that something
dofinite is done to hasten the day.
"Everywhere In Alaska the peo
ple are clamoring for the opening
o' the coal fields. The club has
just received the following tele
gram from the Cordova Chamber
of Commerce on the subject;
" 'We are wiring the President
and Congress demanding the open
ing of Alaska coal fields. On ac
count of war conditions the Brit
ish Columbia supply Is liable to be
cut off any day. Assist by wiring
your friends In Gongress.'
"There is a difference of opin
ion as to "whether the coal fields
should bo opened by private capi
tal or by th# government. One
thing is certain, however, that con
gress could make no mistake in
making appropriations and pass
ing legislation whereby the gov
ernment could at once open the
coa'. mines in Alaska sufficiently
to test the extent of thq coal re
sources and to fix a Btandard of
prices and to supply the wants of
the people who need their own
coal at ouce.
"I heard many express the de
sire that the actual heads of our
largo business house in Seattle
provide au excursion to Alaska, j
make arrangements to meet the
l'eople faoe to face in the various
towns; shake hands with them; !
extend neighborly and friendly I
greetings, and to suggest that this
would do much to emphasize what j
is already a fact—that Seattle is
the gateway to Alaska. Seattle is
the homo port of Alaska. Her
merchants aro honorable and up- !
right, and Alaskans cannot do bet
ter in price and quality than to
give the business to this city and
to the men who have always stood ^
for the best interests of Alaska
ana her people.
"This excursion should be plan
ned for about next June.
"-U each town visited on this
trip, a memorandum for signa
tures of business and professional
men of the town was handed *a
member of the commercial body
or a representative business man,
and the result is that these mem
oranda were signed up by the rep
resentative citizens of the various
towns in Alaska. A member of
tke Seattle Commercial Club con
templating a trip to Alaska can
nchv visit the office of the Secre
tary, find out with whom the club
is in correspondence in each town,
and secure a letter insuring him a
hearty welcome in the Far North.
Besides, the club has placed on
its mailing list nearly four hun

Alaska, located all along the

! A BATH IN AUSTRIA
! It Was Full cf Surprises For the
Visiting Englishman.
! JCKANN WAS TOO ATTENTIVE.
The Valet Was Only Doing as He
Would Have Done Had His Master,
the Prince, Been In the Guest's Place,
but It Jarred the Briton's Nerves.
Although I live in England, which
is supposed to be the home of aristo
cratic privilege, says a contributor to
Chambers' Journal, I had no true con
ception of the meaning of the words
until I visited some Austrian friends
at o great castle some live hours' Jour
ney from Vienna
It was a tropii ally hot day, and the
train was crowded, but when the con
ductor found that I was going to visit
I'rlnre A. lie cleared m.v compartment
of passengers and did all he could to
make me comfortable At the little
station the peasants stood with bared
beads while I made my way to the
waiting carriage, and as we rushed
through the village hats were raised
and the street was cleared for our
galloping steeds.
At the castle I was shown to a room
In one ot the turrets, where I found
the Jager who had met iiic at the rail
way station unpacking my luggage
But the first essential was a bath lie
was full ol "desolation." but some
thing had gone wrong with the water
pipes in the turret, and therefore the
high mill well born excellency would
condescend in use a hip liath lie would
instantly brlus one Tile bntli was
brought and prepared. but the (all
Jagei still renin I in <1 In t lie room.
"Von win tinish tin- unpacking after
ward.'' I wild "I will ring when 1
have bail inv bath"
Johiuui tiiMiciL-fnmi an open drawer,
bis face blank with iitmiziment "But
Is It not tlie high and well born excel
lency thai I should washV" he asked.
The (joniuin of I lie "high and well
born excellency" fiille/1 him. There
was a pause: then, after a repealed
declaration that I would ring when 1
wanted liiin. .lohaiin left (lie room
clearly under protest. "I shall lie out
side the door If the high and well born
one should need me." he said reproach
fully.
I was no more than in the bath
when the door opened and tlie stalwart
figure Appeared "Is It not cold water
over the back of the high and well
born excellency that I should pour?"
"No; certainly not!" The door closed
again protestingl.v.
A few seconds later Jobann came
Into tfte room with an nlr of triumph,
bearing a large bath towel. "Vh. the
splashing is over: Now the high and
well born excellency 1 may be per
mitted to dry "
Rut he was not even permitted the
high and well born excellency to dry.
"What will my prince say?" he said,
looking at me in bewilderment "Ills
serene highness commanded me to
show the excellency every attention,
and the excellency will allow me to do
nothing for bim-nothing."
At dinner I sat next to the Princess
Karl, the wife ot the eldest sou, a
beautiful Hungarian who possessed all
the charm and vivacity of her race.
"I'm afraid you are not being properly
looked after." she said. "Johann told
my husband that you ordered him out
of the room "
"Hut lie wanreu u> wnau iur, . c
plalucd. "He wns most attentive, but
Unit was an attention t (lid not desire."
"Poor Johanu!" answered the prin
cess. "He was much upset. He ia
Karl's special servant and was told
to look after yon on purpose. You
see. he did not understand, lie always
washes Karl "
1 made 110 attempt to conceal my
astonishment, and when I glanced at
Prince Karl, a broad shouldered glaut,
1 could not help smiling.
"Why arc you aroused?" the princess
asked
"It seems so Incongruous." I an
swered. "Prince Karl being washed!"
Hut I afterward learned that it is the
usual custom for the Austrian nobility
to be thoroughly well scrubbed in their
bnths twice a day by their valets and
dried afterward with hot towels. They
i are also dressed by their servants.
The driving of poor Johaun from my
j bedroom became a great joke in the
family Prince Karl declared that he
j had never dressed himself in his life.
| "I tried it only once," said one of
| his brothers, an officer in the Imperial
guurds, "when my serjant was ill and
: I had to go to a parade I put all the
I buttons in the wrong buttonholes and
| got confined to barracks for a week in
| consequence."
I In the old days the Austrian priuce3,
'counts and barons were sovereign lords
Ion their own lands, which they held
I troin the emperor In return for mili
tary service Each of these sreat no
bles held liis own court, which was a
reflection in miniature of the imperial
court, and as It was considered aD
honor by men of the highest birth to
assist at the toilet of the monarch, so
It was considered an honor by those of
lesser degree to reudct similar personal
service to the great nobles. The de
pendence of their descendants upon
their valets Is only the survival ot
those feudal customs.
Little minds are too much woonded
by little things: great minds see all
and are not even hurt—La Itocliefou
