BRADY A WD HIS JOB CTbere is no doubt but that IVesident Roosevelt is nght in demanding that Gov. Urady quit the promoting and stock jobbing bnainess or the governorship. No man has the right to use in!luenco belonging to an official position to pro note his own gain. The principle ap plies with particular force to the con nection of Got. Brady with the Key nokte-Maaka IVvelopment Company. While there is no intention at this time to attack the lieynokls- Alaska IVvelopmen*. Company, it must be ad mitted by anyoue who w ill take the pains to investigate the company's pros|>ectus and literature, that It has developed nothing that would warrant it in float ing millions of dollars worth of stock. It baa not the ownership of sufficient! developed property to justify the action [ of Gov. Brady in advising people to in vest their money in it. At the b?st it j le a speculative proposition. It is a gamble. If It should make a rich strike and its affairs be honestly man aged the stockholders would get th.r money back If its claims, more pros pects, should turn out. ;ts man* others have in different parts of the world, to be valueless it would be characterized as another fake that was originated for the purpoee of plundering the savings of servant girls. The announc<\l intention to take *>? stockholders from New N <?rk to Alaska on a tour of inspection does not look well. If the money of stockholders is to be spent that *?? It cannot N> used tor the purpose of developing the mi The closer one looks into this corn pan*., the more con* need will he be come that Gov, lirady was very lucky In being given the opportunity to iln p the proposition instead of being re qui red to surrender his official scalp. ?K ? ?

"Promoted by the Governor." A recent letter received from II. P. Reynolds says the company purpose* to take SfiO of its stockholders from new York on an excursion to Alaska this summer. A tstMtlo i a Th? Juneau Rcoord- Miner, writing of the property inter* >ts of the Rey nolds-Alaska Development Comj?an\ , says: "A careful search has been made of the reoords of the land office, but it iloes not appear that either John C. Brady, H. P. Reynolds or the Reynolds Alaska Development Company have ever re oeived a patent to any of the land which they claim contains such valu able enterprises. We of Alaska know nothing of such enterprises as they are seeking to sell stock in. and if there were such gigantic properties so near, would it not be known? R. P. Reynolds has visited Alaska twice, the first time about a year and a half ago, as a mem ber of the firm of Alfred M. Lamar ec Company, of New York, which com pany dealt in investment securities. That company went broke as a result of Reynold's escapades, and now he and the governor are in cahcuts on another scheme. The most that can be ascer tained of the property of this company is that they have located some claims and at one time had a 10-stamp mill ahipped over to Latouche island, and it is said it lays their on the beach vet, never having been operated.''
