PROMINENT CANADIAN OFFICII
TALKS INTERESTINGLY OF FUTURE
I>r. H. K. Young, Minister of Ed
ucation, member of Parliament and
provincial secretary of British Co-!
lumbia, whose arrival the Alaskan
briefly noted yesterday, :is on" his
way to Atlin on official business,'
stopped over in Skagway until the
departure of this morning's train.
During the day Dr. Young paid
the Daily Alaskan a visit and talk '
ed Interestingly of the present con j
ditions and future outlook of the!
Northwest, and more especially that
part of It embraced within the'
boundries of British Columbia: ^le
s.tid:
"While times have been dull aud(
money scarce on the outside tor no
apparent reason, for sometime, t ht
past season in the Cnadian wheat!
belt has been unprecedented for its
output and the 2l'0,0u0,000 bushel*
that were raised are now being rush
ed to market and the money that
is being put in circulation from the
sales is having an appreciable and
very gratifying effect in the way
of easing up the stringency."
When asked what steps had been
or were being taken in reference
to the construction of an alternation
al railway line from tile coast < ities
to the south up through British Co
lumbia, Yukon Territor and Alaska
to some point on Bering Sea. and of
which project Dr Young was one of
the first and strongest advocates,
he said: "Sir Richard McBride, pre
mier of British Columbia, at the lust
session of the provincial parliament,
made a very strong and convincing
address in favor of the project and
advanced the suggestion it
would be of incalculable bent it o
both Canada and the 1' iff 1 >t.ile
if a conference between the two
governments could be arranged, . ml
an agreement reached whereby t'.u
line could be put through and in
operation at an early date. It is
needless to say." continued Dr.
Young "that I fully ro cur in the
views expressed bv Sir. Richard :
Already five transcontinental reads
stretch from East to West and have
their coast terminals in the North
west. Three of them end at tide
water on Puget Sound, and the o'h
er two are in British Columbi; um I
while the Grand Trunk line is not :
completed it soon will be. These
roads are in several instances al
ready connected by branch lines run
ning north and ai'iM! through the
f • f f. A A A 2. J. »?« »%
coast valleys, and it is only a ques
tion of a short time when the wliol
of them will be thus connected.
"The Grand Trunk Pacific, when
completed will open up to settlemen
a immense and extremely fertil
section of country, and will also
shorten the trips of Oriental liners
by hours of time and miles of travel
It is highly probable that the fin
al terminus of the Grand Trunk
Pacific will be at one of the sever
al excellent harbors on the west
of Vancouver Island, and when this
is au accomplished fact, Orieutal lin
ers, in addition to the shorter haul
will save $5,000 insurance and pi
lotage charges which they now pay
on. each vessel clearing from Vic
toria or Vancouver.
J)r. Young is au exceedingly pleas
nut gentleman to meet and we trust
that on his return from Atlin his
stay in Skagway will be of suffici
ent length to permit of another call
nt the office of the Daily Alaskan.

MURDERER HANS SCHMIDT
CREATES SCENE IX COURT
New York, Oct. 9—With an out
break of violence, which, if h® U
only shamming insanity, was a truly
marvelous piece of acting, Hans
Schmidt, confessed murderer of An
na Aumuller, nearly caused a panic
Friday among the spectators at the
inquest over the fragments of his
victim's body.
A pitiable object, with a week's
growth of beard, dirty, wrinkled
clothing, staring eyes and strained
expression, Schmidt was sitting hud
dled in his chair when Corner Fein
berg announced that Anna Aumul
ler's mangled corpse would be bur
ied in the potter's field unless some
one furnished funds to lay it in con
secrated ground.
At these words Schmidt leaped to
his feet with starling suddenness.
His eyes protruded and he shook
from head to foot, apparently with
rage.
Jerking something from his pock
zl, he wrapped it with furious haste
in his rosary and hurled it at the
;oroner. Miss him, the object
struck a reporter in the face.
Schmidt gave a terrific shriek as
it did so. The spectators thinking
Schmidt was about to run amuck
imong them, jumped up and began
rushing for the door. Half a doz
2n policemen seized Schmidt, forced
aim back into his chair and held
Slim, muttering incoherently, while
:he rosary was unwrapped and found
:o contain a $2 bill, evidently in
:ended by the murderer as a con
ribution toward his victim's funeral.
The Dolphin reached port at 6:40
j. m. yesterday and left at 10 p. m.
