TAKING NOTICE OF ALASKA
Tin San Francisco F.xaminer com
ments editorially u|H>n the action ot
Port lend in buying steamers for the
Alaska trade and the utter neglect of
San Francisco to enter the competi
tion, saying’ *
“IT • trade of Alaska is growing
with marvelous rapidity. In tin* fiscal
year of l!N9> it called for $14,575,2.4
worth of \merican goods an increase
of m*i- than 2s per cent over the
trade <*f tno year l'H>5. And the whole
of th - increase went to the Puget
South! ports. These increased their
exports to$he northern territory from
$9,210,597 in 190ft to $12,594.55! in lfHMi.
“San Francisco,' on the other hath .
shipp<l only $1,745.SU> of goods in
against $1.*471.51$ in l!KL5. In
stead of gaining trade we los» it.
“Tliis is a case of sheer neglect.
Here is a country that is growing with
great rapidity. Its people are well
disposed to San Francisco. We have
been assured that great numlnirs
would prefer to buy their goods in’
this city. Hut they see no tea volets
from San Francisco houses, and the,
delivery of their orders depends on
ohat.c**. Freight from San Francisco;
may ire on the Seattle wharves an in
definite time awaiting cargo space.
‘‘It will not he many years he for*
the trade of Alaska will pass tie* $5d.-1
7y»o,noi mark. San Francisco should;
s*nd v ut the ships a .1 • * commercial
‘travelers to get her shat* * of it.”

Tin dearth of Hen. Atgec brings to
mind iJo'' stor u of criticism which,
swept over him at the end of the Span |
ish wa*-because of the embalmed beet
disclosures and other infelicities ot
military administration. Yet there
ne*er w as any real doubt hut Alger
was made the "fall guy” for ihe ad 1
mints)rative fotves of which Mark
Ham a was tin* director. Whatever j
Alger did was merely as the agent ot
the power over him. He had a long
and honorable career behind his cabi
net record and the people of Michigan
elected him United State- senator at
the first opportunity afterward.
If the Hostetler eompuuv wants t«>

Washington, H. t’.. 1 Members ol
the house committee on |x>st offices and
post roads and representatives of all the j
railroads whicl’. carry mail agreed to ]
day upon a schedule of compensation |
which will effect an annual reduction |
of${,000,000 to tlie postal department j
for mail carriage.
The rates agreed <11 are considered .
by many members tube still too high. |
Uecent investigations made principal- I
iy by Congressman Munlock of Kansas ;
show that the post office department !
nays nearly three times as much for
t he trans[H»rtation of marls as express
companies pay the same railroads for
carrying the same weighs of express
matter.

MINERS START INSIDE
Sixty-five Leave Susitna Station
After holidays for Creeks.
Susitna Station, Jan. U About forty i
miners have left for the Kahilttmf
country, to saw lumber and get ready
for next year's work. Sixteen men, so
far, have gone nto the Kuskokwim to*
prospect. Nine more have gone up to
the Chulitna, where a strike was made
on Colorado creek last summer, but
kept very quiet. The discoverers
r ime out but immediately returned
with outfits.
(. apt. John Bartel, better known as
“Red Jack,” has recently ordered a
new 15-H. P. engine for his boat, the
Lina K.
We have to thank Henry Brumburg
of the Station saloon for livening us up
a little on Christmas Day. Henry
mixed up thirty dozen eggs and forty
eight cans of Carnation cream, with a
gallon or so of the “essence of old Keo
lucky” thrown in for flavoring, and live
festivities commenced in real earnest.
It certainly hit the right spot, and put
all in condition for the Christmas din
ner at the hotel with Mr. and Mrs.
Dunn. All opinions agreed that Mrs.
Dunn’s pies were just “like mother
used to make.”
After dinner Santa Claus Henry
“blowed” himself for a five-gallon pail
of candy to regale the small native
Alaskans—(only one of them has died
| up to date.)
Thinks Katalla May Win
John Burton, U. S. commissioner at
Cordova, was a passenger on the
steamer Saratoga returning home from
Seattle. He stated that the impres
sion seems to prevail in Seattle that
Katalla has been definitely selected as
the terminus of the Guggenheim rail
road but says Cordova is not yet ready
to give up.
Pans running as high as $10 were
taken from a new strike in the Victor
group of claims on Vault creek in the
Tanana recently.
