FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
A PLEASANT TRIP UP
---
The -learner Dolphin which
was in port yesterday morning
on her way north had a very
;P- a-anI trip north enjoying
; fine weather and sunshine on
the way. The little vessel had
SO first oSas-T pe-^enger* on
board and is becoming very
popular with the traveling
pun ;. Captain Livingstone
and every member of his crew
exert themselves to see that
jnorse of the passengers are
negteeled and a good time for
everybody in the result
r
mum COITIONS HOE vest unsettled in states
T < M Mao returned on
the DntpL , .? rh . .. from
a f.«.tei. day trip down the
coast and never before in all
his travels had he seen any
place that looked as good as
Ketchikan did to him this morn
ing when Copt. "Jock" Living
stone tied down the whistle
string.
Conditions in Ketchikan are
not as good probably as most
of us would like to see them
but when compared with those
in other places they look very,
very good. Money is tighter
on the Pacific Coast today than
at any time since 1007 and
there seems little hope of any
change for Ihe better as long
- the uncertainty of She ad
ministrative action against gen
a{ business continues. Banks
jot knowing what effect the
regional institutions now be
ing created by the government
may have upon them are loath
to loan money for any line of
business and the result is an
absolute stringency of cash ex
ists in a!! the centers of the
country. Then again business
fears more freak legislation.
Ti e probable result of which
cannot be forseen and rail
road-. mines, manufacturing
concerns and kindred indus
tries are laying off their orekvs
or running them on part time
only. An evidence of this is
jseeu at the coal mines of the
Pacific Coast company which
is working its Hten two days »
week in place of six of a \oar
ago.
Alaska, of course, i> bound to
feel the effects of this condi
tion in the states but in a les
ser degree owing to the fact
our fish products offer a cheap
er form of food than can be
bought for a like amount of
money in any other eomodity.
The result is a stiffer and more
■promising market for canned
salmon than at any time for the
past two years.
The action of the adminis
tration in putting canal tolls on
coastwise ships is severely
criticized by members of all
the political parties of the
state of Washington and the
same is said to he true of
Oregon and California and the
coast states of the east This
coupled with the fact that the
economic conditions of the
country are rapidly getting in
to the same state as during
the Cleveland administration
is bound to have a big effect
on this fall’s congressional el
.eotion and it will be no sur
prise if the next lower house
is opposed to President Wil
son and his policies. The al
li(title of the old stand-pat
Republicans with regard to
the man Roosevelt is rapidly
changing and it is quite prob
able that he will bo the eundi
dateof the Republican party for
.'president in tPltl ajud there is
no doubt that if the two fac
tions of the republican party
can gel together under hi- lead
ership, Wilson and the democ
racy will certainly be regulated
to the rear. Of course, a great
deal may happen within the
two years, but politicians, the
country over, are looking for a
reconciliation and Roosevelt’
nomination as standard bearer.
The objection of the old party
[men against the progressive
| is not so much that*lhey would
i not tolerate Roosevelt as they
jobject to Pinehotism and the
‘other familial ideas advocated
, by- some of hi> followers, i
I these can be thrown overboard
-o that a thorough understand
ing can be arrived at. the rest
; would be easy, for Roosevelt
\ today probably looms larger in
j the public eye than any other
man in the country.
THE JEFF GOES SOUTH
The steamer Jefferson which
was in southbound yesterday
evening took n 32 tierces of
mild cure salmon and three
boxes o ffresh salmon. Among
her passengers were J. E. Chil
