The following Interesting letter has
just been received from F. F. W. Dowle,
general agent of the C. P h. at Skag
way:
"The Canadian Pueblo Railway Com
pany bus decided to make splendid im
provements In Us Alaska service In
order to be Ip a position properly to
handle the vast numbers of Kastern
tourists who will come to Seattle, Van
couver and Victoria to take In the won
derful trip to Alaska aud the Yukon.
"During the month of July when the
tourist rush will he at Us zenith, the
company will augment the weekly set-'
vice performed last year by the pop
ular Princess steamers Sophia and Alice
with the 'three funnel' Uner Princess
Charlotte, giving a semi-weekly service.
"This will he the finest service over
inaugurated to the beautiful norlhlaud.
The ships to be used are among the
finest on the coast and will attract not
only more easterners to take in tne
trip, but will induce many from Van
couver, Victoria and Puget Hound points
to spend their summer holidays at j
points reached by these llotiling palaces. |
"The passenger department announces
that u number of inquiries and advance
reservations lias been unprecedented and ‘
has made it imperative for the compuny
to Increase its service if it wished to
secure the business. The publicity given
northern British Columbia, Alaska and,
the Yukon Is stirring up the eastern I
part of the continent and the former
travel to Europe lias turned its foot- I
steps to the unsurpassed inside passage 1
and the Yukon.
"Arrangements have practically been
completed for an interchange with the
other lines in operation, in regard to
all tourist business holding tickets reud

SEATTLE BECOMES 6REAT
FUR CENTER
From a position of comparative ob
scurity Seattle has leaped to second
place as a tvorld market lor tine furs,
..nd tlie next sale, which will be at
.ended by buyers front the east, will
be held In the warerooms of the Seat
tle Fur Sales Agency, at 31 Puwlea
oulldlng. April 25, says the P.-l. of April
it. The richest offerings from Alaska
tnd British Columbia, consisting ol' sil
ver fox, red fox, lynx, cross and blue
Cox, mink, marten, otter, wolverine,
crrplpc, muskrat, wolf, bear, coon, coy
ote and skunk, will be placed on sulc.
Subsequently open selling will be car
ried on about once a month through
the summer.
CHEAP SOUTHERN OFFERINGS.
t
Seattle furriers say that much glory
lias heretofore gone to St. lands as a
fur market, principally because of Its
position as the big center for muskrat
and other cheap southern offerings,
which runs into 1,500,000 pelts a season,
'he proportion of rich furs sold in St.
Louis, however,. Is much smaller than
in New York and Seattle, which occupy
dot and .second places, respectively, in
the volume of business done In Amer
ica.
The European war has operated to
i-nlft the buying center of furs from
London to the United States, where a
demand for all that can be produced
nos been created.
BASES OF FOREIGN MARKETS
Formerly these furs had to be sold
in the ’wealthy European capitals In
icder to effect proper balance between
demand and supply. But commercial
adjustments have now projected Seattle
into the leading centers of the world
as a supply station.
Uptll the last two or three years no
fur sales of Importance could be held
in Seattle until alter the opening of
! navigation in the north when the lirst
| vessels southbound brought in the furs.
' Now shipments In steadily increasing i
lots are brought to market by parcel j
post, and wholesalers here expect to j
hold sales every month In the year.
. •
The Alaska bureau of the Beattie
Chamber of Commerce will make an j
appeal to the government to have the
big sale of Pribllof Island furs con- j
ducted through the Seattle market in
stead of 8t. Louis, where these furs
are sold at present. This decision was
made recently following an address to i
the executive committee of the bureau
by F. W. Woodruff, manager of the Se
attle Fur Sales Agency, at a luncheon
in tile Arctic Club.
U would be much more economical
for the government to handlu Its furs
through Seattle,” said Mr. Woodruff, "as
the Seattle market is the center for
all independent high grade furs and is
always assured of a representative set
of buyers.”
Mr. Woodruff told the bureau man
that In the ten years of Its existence
the Seattle Fur Sales Agency has sold
more than *2,000.000 worth of furs and
that Its nnnuynl business is now almost
*250,000.

Not an Expense, and Should be
Treated as Such
Because it has beeu the habit
of some merchants to look upon
it as an expense, A WRONG | I
VIEW HAS BEEN GAINED.
Perhaps the misconception arose
from the fact that in bookkeep
ing it has been the habit to j
charge advertising to expense.
