Managers for Seattle Man
Claim Moat Votes
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
Olympia, Jan. 1ft? The first ballot
for United States senator will take
place at noon tomorrow when the legis
lature will meet in joint session in the
hall of the house of representatives.
The managers of S. H. Piles, the Seat*
tie candidate, claim a plurality of the
votes on the first ballot, though they
admit they will have many short of a '
majority. The estimate is as follows:
S. H. Piles, 35; Charles Sweeney, 25;
Senator Foster, 15; John L. Wilson, 15,
and a few votes scattering. There are
13b votes in the joint ballot and 69 are
necessary to a choice.
This estimate leaves fully 30 votes
who have not been lined up with any
candidate up to date.
There are only eight democrats in
the two houses. They will probably
vote for Ex-Senator George Turner.

TANANA RUSH BEGINS
OVER WHITE PASS
The shipment of merchandise from
the mart* of tradb in the states over
the wide Alaskan snow fields and Ion?
stretches of Yukon ice to the yawning
markets of the golden Tanana has be
gun. The first Fairbanks-bound outfit
came, of course, to Skagway and will
take the only practicable route to the
new Mecca of the mining woi Id. It ar
rived on the Ramona and will leave i
aver the W. P. & Y. R. for Whitehorse j
an its long overland journey tomorrow
morning. As usual, Charles C. Run
ner, of Skagway, Nome and Fairbanks,
leads the advance.
Mr. Runner's shipment consists of
100,000 cigars and other articles for
which his educated judgment has told
him there is a demand in the interior.
Be will take it in sleds from White
horse. He has six horses and six men
to do the work, and he is looking for
another team.
The overland trip from Whi'eho'se
to Fairbanks has no terrors fo:- Mr.
Runner. He has made it Cefo' and
knows what he is doing. He s>>?
many articles of merchandise can he
transported to Fairbanks and sold ut a
profit.
Mr. Runner", speaking from much ex
perience secured on the Alaskan trails,
says there is only one practicable route
from the outside to Fairbanks and that
one is the Skagway route. That be
chose it over which to take his own
goods after having tried it once before
indicates that he does not speak unad
visely.
Mr. Runner says there is a great
deal of Xanana talk wherever he has
been on the coast and the large cities of
the west, and that people are begin
ning to realize that there is but one
way to reach the fields in safety and
comfort, and that is by the Whiio
Pass.

sither bulk or case goods at wholesale
