Splendid Work of the Alaska | Trade Committee in | Chicago. | Grand Receptions Given to Those ~ho Managed the Ex- | hibit Car. | C. H. Holbrook Jr. and L. R. Hare of this city have just returned from a trip to Chicago, where they went in the interests of the Alaska trade commit- tee. Thelr mission w that of advance agents of the special San Francisco and Klondike car that the committee sent to the great city by the lake. As such agents they went ahead and notified the people that San Francisco was sending to the East a car laden with everything in the way of food, provi- o | sions and clothing that those who in-| tend going to the far quire, and these, to north will re- at prices that can- other city in the In communities already in- | lamed with the gold fever this news, fa | ment along the line of to say nothing of the °t that San 0 is the best outfitting port on coast, caused an intense excite- railroad. By t the various | the time the car arrived | citles large crowds were ready to meet | the travelers and inspect the exhibits. Some little idea of the interest may be obtained from the remarks of Mr. | Hare and Mr. Holbrook. The latter | sald: “It would be surprising to the | folks of ‘this city if they could have seen the way the people along the line of the railroad turned out to meet us. | | At Ogden Mayor H. H. Spencer select- | | ed a committee of twent five of the| leading citizens and came down to the | car, which they inspected with the greatest of interest. The party had lunch in the car, and speeches were made by every one. One of the most pleasant features of the trip was the we were met in Cheyenne. Gov- ernor Richards of Wyoming came on to that city and met the party, which es. corted us to Denver, Co after mak- | ing us think that we owned the whole of Wyoming. ‘At Denver he turned us over to May- | or McMurray and Governor Adams of Colorado. These two officials were ac- | companied by a committee of twenty- | five represgntative citizens, who did all they could to make our stay pleas- ant. But all this time you must re- member we were not hobnobbing with officials exclusively, for the car w filled wherever it stopped with those | who contemplate going to the Klon- dike. They came to us by the hun- | dreds, and the committee, big as it was, had all it could do answering questions about the cost of necessary | articles for the far north, the rates of transportation, and a thousand and one other questions that deeply inter- ested parties would naturally ask. “Ex-Governor Sheakley, who was in charge of the car, dld not have time to | get the rest he required, so busy was he discussing the merits of San Fran- cisco as an outfitting point for the north. In every place he stopped he delivered lectures, and his remarks were listened to with the keenest of interest. The experience in one place was the experience in all. Why, the people would come for hundreds of miles around, for we had advertised the coming of the car, to see, hear and question. ““At last the car reached Chicago, and the exhibits were installed in the bu- reau prepared, which from morning until night was filled with men who | will go to the Klondike. Seattle and | Tacoma were there with their bureaus | three months ahead of us and Port- | land two months, Vancouver and Vic- toria arriving about the time we did. They were not in it, so to speak. Our bureau drew the crowds, and they were not a little jealous of our success. Chi- cago is the center of the East, and no matter which way the Easterner goes he will start from Chicago, and there we have made a decided hit. Of the nine railroads leading out of that city five are in favor of landing their pas- sengers in San Francisco.” Mr. Hare in speaking of the jealousy of the northern competitors for the Alaska trade said that the arrest of ex- Secretary Carman was the petty way they took to throw discredit on the en- terprise of the San Francisco mer- chants. “It was a miserable blackmail- ing job from the start,” said he. *Mr. Holbrook and I stayed with Mr. Car- man and when the case against him came up for trial the judge threw it out of court and denounced the per- sons who caused Mr. Carman’s arrest. He dismissed the other charges at once. “Too much cannot be sald of the splendid reception our party received in every place at which we stopped. The newspapers gave us columns of write- up and not one but what spoke in praise of the merits of the goods we had to display and the advantages of an Francisco as the outfitting port of the Pacific. Just you wait until spring. This city will see one of the greatest rushes that the world has witnessed since the days of ’49, and the merchants who started the movement of adver- tising this city in this manner will reap a golden reward.” "hile at Omaha the party received a proposition which they are strongly in favor of having adopted. The Trans- ippi International Exposition =in in June and last until No- vember. The Governor of Nebraska urged the gentlemen to do all in their power to have the managers of the local golden jubilee send the exhibit to that city, and promised that every consideration would be shown to the Californians. This State and Arizona are the only ones in the Union not rep- resented at the big exposition. Tt is ARCH NEW corporation has been formed in the little town of Altamont In this State, and for want of a better name has been called the Altamont Barbed Wire Telephone Company, Limited. The projectors, buflders and directors of the concern are four brothers, Jesse, Chester, Archle and Guy Young, and the inventive genius which h created an Edison, a Bell and a Morse has ralsed Altamont out of the ordinary and perched her on the topmost rung of the progressive ladder, and to-day that little burg is the proud most unique private te that can probably be found in the world. It is, as the name of the corporation tmplies, nothing more nc than an ordinary irbed - wire Une, which is operated by the -named young men. It took them just three he to get it in satisfactory working order, and for simplicity of « ruction and effectiveness of results stands with- out a peer in the annals of telephonic history. This fen run mg a stretch of farming land for a distance of three miles from the home of the Youngs to that of a relative. The top wire on the fence is connected with the transmitter in each house by means of copper wire, and the transmission of sound is effected by a magnetic battery inclosed in a small walnut box attached to the wall at each end of the line. By turning a crank a bell is rung which calls up the sired_party. 1 an ear trumpet an- s the purpose for both listening and talking. The boys say that’ weather conditions do not seem to affect this in- genlous contrivance, and one can hear as plainly over the crude arrangement of wires as he can over the most elaborately constructed telephone line. It was a Christmas present to the parents from thelr boys and was a great surprise to the former when they witnessed its practical fllustration for the first time. The leading spirit in the whole affair was Archie Young, who, without a previcus mechanical or electrical knowl- edge except such as he had acquired believed that nearly 5,000,000 people will be at that gathering. S et THE RUSH BEGINS. Steamers Sailing for Alaska Loaded With Freight and Passengers. The tone of the visitors who called at the Alaska Trade Committee Bu- reau is taking a more positive tone | every day. It is not that of curiosity so much as a desire to inform them- selves accurately about the require- ments of the trip to the Klondike. In the same way the proportion of per- sons who have positively decided to go to the Yukon is increasing, and the records of the office show from day to day that the rush to the gold fields is growing steadily larger. The demand for all kinds of printed matter is sur- prising and not cnly over the counter, but by mailed request. One caller yes- IN THE REALTY | BROKERS' REALM Business Seems to Grow; Livelier After the | Holidays. The Fair | Inquiry Continues for City and Country Property. Building Affairs Rather Quiet—Re- view of the Records and Random Notes. Now that the holidays are over and business has settled down into its usual routine the world of real estate has partly shaken off its lethargy and glves signs of springing into vigorous life. It may take some time for things to assume what may be termed a lively aspect, but the dealers are confident that that period will be reached not very long after the exodus to the Klon- dike in the spring commences. Building matters are still rather quiet. There is now some demand for | from his own personal observation, plan- ned the clever idea and carried it to a successful issue. By this achievement the soclal ques- tion may be said to have been satisfac- torily solved in Altamont, for by an ex- tension of the system the isolated fami- lies {n the surrounding country can com- municate with one another at will, and this convenience can be fully appreciated only by those who live in farmhouses that are far away from any human hab- ftatfon. In fact, it will enable those families to keep in closer touch with ona nother and the social amenities can be better preserved thereby, for any one c elephone line at a nominal there are barbed-wire pre- n independent and carry- srever Nothing but the price will vent a chap from line to his sweethe ing on his lovemaking through that me- dium, and when the supreme moment of asking for her hand has arrived he can fely do so by telephone.

He shall free himself from the tyranny of the fickle telephone girl, who readily gives the required number when your business with the other party is of no importance, but always tells you the line is out of order when you calculate to make as much as a dellar and a quarter on a cer- tain proposition if you could only get the ear of the other fellow. It has moved the spirit of Altamont’s best poet (who desires to remain incog for the time be- ing), who was evidently a victim of the machinations of the aforesaid telephone girl, to exemplify in verse one of the evils of the metropolitan telephone sys- tem as follow: moere our ears will be assatled is which give us patn, »ed our nickle in all again.” e have droj paratively large amoun ¢ on the north line of Bush street, t of Montgomery, 6S: :6; same year, at 612 to Flora 0, $10,000 for one per_cent, on property on the north line of Bus West of Dupont, 20X M., and Emma McE property on the southe: 5 Jennie, roy, s line of Minna street, 146:6 southwest of Tenth, S0x30, and southeast line of Miss uth- west of Tenth, SOX160 nna M.

Another party of ten from Alameda was in- specting the exhibit and is making ar- rangements to leave this city about the first of March. There is an especially active demand for information about Alaska matters from all the mining States and Territories of the Rocky Mountain region from Arizona and New Mexico to Montana, and in near- |1y every instance the writer says that he is spokesman for a party ranging from two to ten persons. Walter J. Scammel, who went East with the San Francisco exhibit to Chi- cago, returned to the city on Monday evening. He says that the Chicago of- fice is located most advantageously, and is now in full running order. In his opinion, the office under Governor Sheakley’s charge is doing splendid work for San Francisco, and is divert- ing much of the travel that would oth- erwise go north to this city. The City of Puebla sailed yesterday morning with every berth taken. Near- 1y all of her passengers were bound for Alaska, so that persons now in Port- land and Seattle who are looking for transportation to Dyea and Skaguay Wwill find themselves crowded out. This illustrates what the steamship compa- nies have said from the start. Passen- gers and frelght from San Francisco | are booked through for Dyea and Skag- uay, and the unoccupied space, if there is any when the vessel sails from this port, is wired on to the sound ports. In this way those cities only have the sec- ond best chance to send passengers or merchandise north. ——————— A Sovereign Remedy.

H. Umbsen & Co.: There were 377 loans, in the form of mortgages or deeds of trusts made during December. They amounted to $1,031,551, a good monthly average, with the Hibernia Bank a long way in the lead. The re- leases were 222 in number and $890,860 in amount. At present the tendency is to increase indebtedness on San Francisco realty, as money is plentiful and borrow- ing is encouraged. Bank rates remain at 7 and 6% per cent, the mortgage tax of $2 60 being included, while large private capital is content to obtain § per cent on first-class security. The future course of the savings banks is looked forward to with much curiosity, as while the margin between the interest rates and the mort- gage tax is small, the pressure of loan money is very great with some of them.

He Was Attempting to Fix a Defec- tive Elevator Door When Injured. Ludwig Siegel, a metal worker, in tha employ of the California Art .\Ieml Company, at 30 First street, had his right leg fractured at the thigh and suffered numerous other bruises in an accident in the aus Spreckels Build- ing about 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon. Siegel and a boy helper were sent by the company to put up the metal di- rectory frames on the different floors of the building. They were to put up | one on each floor on the wall opposite the elevator entrances. Siegel, while working on the tenth ficor, noticed that the sliding door to the middle elevator shaft there creak- ed considerably, and, although mnot there for that purpose, decided to fix it. He swung the doors open and stepped into the shaft, standing upon a huge iron crossbeam. The position was a dangerous one had the elevators not been running, but Siegel took the risk and went to work. He had his boy helper call out to him whenever an ele- vator was approaching, and he would self clear of it out over the is way he worked upon 'ihe creaking docr for about fifteen min- ute: \\'lten, needing a tool which he had left upon the floor above, he sent the boy after it, and continued his work, watching the ascending and descending elevators himself. In some manner he became confused. and when the elevator on the far eas. side of the building was descending he swung over to the right to avoid it, and was caught by the swiftly ascending middle elevator which was coming up at that moment, and was jammed be- tween the cage and the outer frame- vork. h S‘;cznl uttered a terrific shriek that startled all the tenants on the ninth, tenth and cleventh floors and brought them running out of their offices. Crowley, the young man in charge of the middle cage, with quick presence of mind, brought the car to a stand- still with a jerk and saved Siegel's life, as he would have been crushed to death if the cage had continued up- ward. A force of men from the engine room of the building was immediately sent for, and the work of extricating Siegel began. It was found necessary to re- move the iron work from part of the cage in order to free him, but he was finally released and tender hands lift- | ed him into the cage, which was lower- ed to the eleventh floor and he was carried into the offices of the General Electric Company. Dr. Soper, who has offices in the building, had been previously called, examined the unfortunate man, and found that he had suffered a fracture T » thigh and nu- merous e After being made a ible he wa man Hospital by the owner-of the building. Siegel admits that he wa at fault in attempting to do the work, as he was not sent there for that purpose, and confesses he was negligent in do- ing it while the elevator cars were run- ning, particularl fter he had sent his boy aw: He was very lucky in not being killed, and his escape from being crushed to death was miraculous. Siegel is a young German about 27 vears of age, and resides with his par- ents at 28 Teham: re — e ——— NOT SERIOUSLY ILL. Alex Badlam Merely Suffering From an Attack of Asthma. The report circulated during the past few days that Alexander Badlam, the well-known pioneer, was lying danger- ously ill at his residence, 1024 Franklin street, is somewhat exaggerated. For the past few weeks he has been indis- posed from an attack of asthma, pro- ducedfroma severe cold, but at no time was he in a dangerous condition. Some difficulty in obtaining the necessary sleep was about all that annoyed him and the members of the family. Few, if any, of the early settlers of this city are better or more favorably known than the genial Alex. Badlam, and as a consequence of this popular- ity the members of his family wera kept busy answering the door bell yes- terday. A decided improvement in his condition was noticeable during the day, due to the fact that he had for the first time enjoved a refreshing sleep. The cheerfulness so characteristic of his nature has not forsaken him in his illness. To his attendants he has a joke to exchange even over his sick- hess. He says he is worth a few hun- dred dead men vet, and will live to see the beginning of the new century. He is as solicitous over the Golden Jubilea as if the entire responsibility for its suc- cess depended on his individual exer- tions. NEW TO-DAY.
