WITH REGRET

tew years lias been associated with
the j Yukon Copper Co. Ltd., op
erating the Pueblo mines at White
horse, accompanied bj Mrs. Small,
wfo arrivals in Skagway on last
night's train enroute to their
formtr homo in Spokane. Mr. and
Mrs. Small have been frequent
visitorsin Bkagway, either com
ing over from the mine to visit or
while passing through tho city en
rout" to tho outside, and have
marie many friends here.|
Iu leaving the north, Mr. Small
.'says that Uo does bo with regret,
as he has developed a great affec
tion for the new nortliland, and
he |wi'l avail himself of the first
opportunity that offers itself us an
excuse for returning.)
Mr. and Mrs. Small have secured
reservations on the Princess for
the trip to Seattle, where they
will visit for a few days before con
tiunii-K to Spokane.
I'KH'IO OP FLOVH
BEGINS TO FALL
Seattle,—With flour prices fall
ing in such measure that Seattle
consumers can now buy by the sack
at 20 (.ents leks than a week ago,
miliers are predicting still further
declines. While none will venture
to siaruo the exact minimum, it is
believed by the milling trade that
Washington soft wheat patent flour
will uutimately drop to $10 or
$10.25 per barrel, wholesale, or
$2.75 per sack retail. This, ac
cordL g to the be«t judgment of
manufacturers, will be tho lowest
price forj'this year.
Led by t.he Walla j Walla district,
other Eastern Washington farmers
have become convinced that they
will move their crop thi;> year at
the price origanlly fixed by the
Hoover program, or on the basis of
$1.87 for bluestem or No. 1 soft
white, on the farms. Little hope
is nor being felt that the plans will
be modified or amended to allow
them $2.10, country price, as ask
ed, and considerable wheat ha,s ac
cordingly changed hands this week.
The movement of wheat will not
be according to the customary train
load standard of normal timet. The
federal grain and | flour control
measure, designed to prevent hoard
ing, storing and speculaton, forbids
millets to keep on hand a Bupply
longer than for a thirty-day grind.
CAP. ZUG TO BE A It.
O. DISBURSING OFFICER
Capt. John Zug, recently appoint
ed Captain in the United States Ar
my Engineers' Reserve Corps, has
received orders to report to Gen.
W. P. Richardson,. President of the
Alaska Board of Road Commis
sioners. The order came from Ad
jutant-General McCain, of the Unit
ed States Army. This is con
strued to mean that Capt. Zug will
shortly succeed Capt. J. C. Mehaf
fey as disbursing officer and mem
ber of the commission.
Capt. Zug is now in Juneau and
took his oath of office as a Capr
tain in the army a few days ago.
The War Department was immediate
ly notified by wire of the fact, and
the order to report to Gen. Richard
con came back also by wire.
Capt. Zug has been connected
with the Alaska Board of Road
Commissioners for several J years.
JJntil a few years ago hife head
quarters 'were at Fairbanks, but
more'recently they were at Valdez.
He is well known aud jiopular in
Juneau. |

L. Hal. Johnston, local agent for
the;Canadian Pacific railway re
ceived advice this afternoon that the
Steamship Princess Sophia would
arrive,in this port at 9 o'clock to
morrow forenoon. She "will sail
from this 'port at 7 o'clock Thurs
day evening.
H. G. AVeir of the Pacific S. S.
company could not Btate definitely
the exact hour of the arrival of
the |Spokane, but basing his esti
mate on the amount of freight the
ship was unloading at Juneau, it
was presumed that [she should ar
rive In this port some time before
midnight.
The beginning of hardship is lil.e the
first taste of bitter food—it seems for a
moment unbearable, yet if there is
nothing else to satisfy our hunger we
take another bite and tiud it possible
to go on.—George Eliot.

By buying a through ticket yousave from $10.00 to $15.00 as
against buying to Seattle and rcbuying there.
By buying over the C. M. & St. P. Ry. you are assured the comfort that
comes from riding behind an electric locomotive—the most power

THESE BOOTS CANT
SPRING A LEAK
HEY'RE "HIPRESS"
Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That's one
reason why they're so different from
the ordinary boot, the sole and
upper of wliich are stuck together
by hand.
"HIPRESS" Boots are made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other boot made. And
they're the foot-easiest boot you ever
wore. 40,000 dealers.
