The Alaskan Engineer Commission
is now to sell the barges, lighters,
steamers ami tugs which have boon us
ed on the Inlet at Anchorage. Seward
is now* to be the terminal for all com
mission freight and if steamers oper
ate to Anchorage, it is presumed tr.c
new dock there will be useo.
Samuel (.lumpers, by his statement
yesterday that the Ameiican* Federa
tion of Labor will fight the bills now
in Congress regarding disloyalty,
'hows just where the unions stall i.
Radicalism must be weeded out o* the
American Federation ranks before
that organization will again return ‘.o

To compare the Hyder district to
the Klondike is like comparing the
paper and pulp possibilities of the
Ketchikan distric t to the Dawson mir

bability will produce more money and
continue to he a well seined commun
ity for many years, pennanently, an:i
in the long run may produce more
gold and other precious metals thu
did the Klondike but it will be by a.i
mtirely different method.
The mininff district at the lieu
the Portland Canal will require ye.v <
of serious scientific prospectinpr. such,

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACT
URED FURS IN THE NORTHWEST and all we ask of you Mr. Shipper
is to give us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that
we pay more for furs and make quicker returns than you can get any
where in the country. We have been in business in Alaska for 36 year* and.
have built up a very extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all
parts of the United States, Canada and in a great many European Cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaskan industry b*t
you are helping yourself to huild up u business that belongs to Alaaka.
We eliminate the middleman entirely as we buy direct from the trap
per and trader and sell direct to the consumer, thus we are able to pay
you a better price than you can get elsewhere. W’K MAKE RETURNS
THE SAME DAY SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
It so desired when your shipment amounts to $100.00 or more, we will
wire our hid and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense
and we will ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair w ith % ourself as well as with ua and
make us a trial shipment, the result will make you a steady shipper.
