The Alaska bureau of the Seat
tle Chamber or Commorce will
make an a^Kal to the government
to have the big s^-le of Fribilof Is
land furs conducted through the
Seattle market instead of at St
Louis, where these furs are sold at

rectntly following an address to
the executive commiMto of the
bureau bv F. W. Woodruff, manag
er of the Seattle Fur Sales Agency,
•if a iuueheon in the Arctic club..
"It would be much more eeonomi
cal for the government to handle
its furs through. Seattle," said Mr.
Woodruff, "as the* Seattle market
is the center for all independent
high grado furs and is always as
sured of a representative tet of
buyers."
Mr. Woodruff told the bureau
men that in tho ten years, of its
existence the Seattle Fur Sale
Agency has sold more than $2,0<f0,
000 worth of furs and that its an
imal business is now almost $350,

SCENIC ALASKA
EXPLAINED BY
JI»
NKW SYSTEM INAUtiUKATED
Wit'i the sailing of the Prince
Kupeit and Priate George from
•ieattle to Southeastern Alaska, th
Grand Trunk Pacific will inaugur
ate a new system which will bring
aefore the eyes of the tourist, scen
ic Alaska in all its splendor.
On each boat will be placed an
< "Vial Courier whose duty it will
be >(• thoroughly explain tile points
of interest on the way. This will
not ou)y be of interest to the pas
sengers but will bring tn<j historic
development of Alaska, into promin
ence. Heretofore toureita have
viewed the glaciers and lofty moun
tains with aa overwhelming; spirit
of awe, but hare never hiad the op
portunity of knowing the history of
its name, how it happened to be
there and the other interesting
phases which have gone into its
making.
The Grand Trunk Pacific have
secured the services of J. J. l»ane
and Charles Metcalf, two gentlemen
well acquainted with Alaska and
the Yukon. When tourists land
they will be guided around the
(owns and the chief points o' in
.erests shown them by the cour
iers. Instead of stopping at a port
and allowing the tourist t to make
nis own investigations thereby
wasting his time on things which
have no historic value, the com
pany believes that by the inaugur
atiou of this service, time will be
saved and the journey made much
more interesting to the patrons of
their line. It is expected that
there will be a large tourist traf
fic to Alaska from the Eastern and
Central States and from Eastern
Canada by tourists who have here
tofore spent their vacation in Eu
rope and as they are not familiar
with western customs and par
ticularity Alaska it is anticipated
tha» the new system will be met
with f'-vor by all. i

DIG ILL
IN CONGRESS
Tbe progress of Al&skau legisla
tioii a' tbe national capital was
discussed by Falcon Joslin at a
1 unci ecu of tbe executive commit
tee of the Alaska bureau of tbe
Chamber of Commerce yesterday in
'be Arctic club. iMr. Jtsiin, wbo
is a member of tbe committee,-has
just returned from Washington,
I). C.
"The most gratifying thii.g 1
know of iu relation to Alaskan af
iu.ii s at Washington," taid Mr.
Josliu, "is that the house commit
tee on appvopi iations tot'k up the
item iu the sundry bill providing
for railroad work in Alaska for tbe
coming year. This item is for $S,
247,000. Secretary Lane and Com
missioner Eades were before tha
committee and I understand the
committee was apparently favo.able
to granting the fullamount asked
for.
"Jt was rearca tne coiumiuoo
might want to reduce "the item by
the amount of the $2,000,000 em
ergency appropriation which -was
passed some time ago. If this,
item gets through, it will make a
total of $10,247,000 for railroad
building and will enable the work
to be carried on vigorously.
"Another gocd thing for Alaska
is that the secretary of war, on
tho advice of Col. Richardson, has
recommended an additional appro
priation of $500,000 for wagon road
work. This, with the $150,000 car
rit.-d in the regular military bill,
will give $650,000 for wagon
roads. Judge Wickersham is vig
orously working for the appropria
tion and it seems certain to pass.
"The law for leasing the oil
lands in Alaska, as well as in the
states, passed the house and has
been reported favorably fry the sen
ate connmittee on nublic lands. It
seems likely to pas«. This 'is a
very important measure for Alaska
The samo bill as it passed the
house contained a section for leas
ing of coal lands and was much
more tavorable than the existing
coal land leasing law in Alaska, but
the i>enute committed struck the
coal leasing section out It did
no' apuly to Alaska coal lands any
wi.y, a3 Alaska already has a leas
ing law. The regulations for leas
ing Alaska i'oal lauds are said to
be re-lay for issue and only await
the secretary's signature. On the
whole, things look very favorable
for Alaska at Washington."—Seattle
Court is i'i session in Ketchikan.
The fisheries of Alaska are said
to be worth $400,000,000.

A. E. KIESLING

"If you have a uiuddy complexion

are the best laxative to be had, and can
