Y.-S. Juneau has a Chamber of Com merce, and ;i very solid institution it i.s. It lias on Its membership rolls the names of the most prominent business men in. this town, beside those of well known capitalists from other cities who have established l.-e;al domiciles in Alaska. Thus far it has done much JUNEAU, THE FUTURE METROPOLIS. good to the commercial interests of the town, and it promises even greater re suhs in the Winter and Spring. It is not m.-r.-ly a local body, but purports to repr-seiit the territory, for it calls itse': the Alaska Chamber of Commerce. The constitution and bylaws are as follows: ARTICLE I.

These bylaws may be al tered or amended by a two-third major ity of a necessary quorum for such a vote at any regular meeting after two weeks' notice of such intention previ ously given in writing From this it may seen that Juneau is no longer a mere mining camp, but a thriving, busy town, with a future be fore it. It has every qualification for the future metropolis of the North west, being equally accessible by land or water. Resides, it is the nearest port to the mouth of the Copper River, the Oolden Gate of the Great North west, which promises to be the princi pal approach to the gold regions in the Spring. Old miners are making ar rangements now- to go up the Copper River in February or March, and strike thence to the ne w fields along the Chil lyna. White and Stewart rivers, from which have come within the past few weeks further stories of rich finds that bid fair to throw the Klondike into the idiade. Louis C. Frey, of Newark, N. J., is now- in the Copper River country at the head of an exploring and prospecting party. Mr. Frey, who is a veteran pros pector, says in a letter to a friend in this city: "The Copper River is nearly four hun dred miles long, draining over 29,000 square miles, and by a portage (road) of seventy-live miles at its upper end can be connected with the Tanana River, which flows into the Yukon One can also reach the Yukon from the Copper River by ascending the Ohillyna River, which empties into the latter stream, as far east as Scolai or Copper River Pass, which is only eighty miles long. At the other side of Scolai Pass is the head of navigation of the White River, which empties into the Yukon midway between Fort Sel kirk and Dawson City. "There will be three routes next year via the Stikine River, via Chilkoot Pass and via Copper River. The last will lie the easiest and shortest. Sev eral nzvigation companies are prepar ing to run steamers from Seattle, Sit ka and Juneau to the mouth of the Copper River, and there is a strong prospect of a railroad in the Spring. "The crazy rush over that danger ous Skaguay Pass should be stopped by Government interference, If neces sary. On my way from Seattle to Sit ka soon after the Dawson boom was started, I talked with thirty men bound for the Klondike. Oriiy four of them knew anything about mining; the bal ance were ignorant of that science, as well as cf the art of taking care of themselves. They will have to face rough times. No man should come to the Northwest without a proper sup ply of gold, grub and grit." That Juneau will be crowded to Its utmost capacity long before April Is acknowledged by all who have visited this place. Olds & Orton, proprietors of the Ocidental Hotel, have leased three new buildings, to be used as annexes and contemplate erecting an enormous structure so soon as sufficient building material and labor can be obtained Prominent merchants are increasing their orders for the Spring by several hundred per cent., and the municipal government has recognized the need of an adequate police fore. Juneau already has electric lights and most of Its big buildings are steam heated. It is not yet oversupplled with theatres, politics and French millinery, but those necessary adjuncts to metro politanism will probably come In good time. Meanwhile, the citizens of Ju neau say to the people of the United States: ''Come, if you want to; but if you can't come, don't apologize; there are others." Above all, don't come if you can't live without luxuries. Juneau is a live town, but it isn't little, old New York. HERE AND THERE. In- the Hawaiian islands there are twice as many men as women. In the Klondike region in midwinter the tun rises from 9:30 to 10 a. m. and eets from 2 to 3 p. m. Brazil is now the principal coffee producing- country of the world.

One would Im- agine that it was naiu'j ncc. j v-a-days to warn the public against professional marriage-mongers. nen sver the veil that covers the operations of these gentlemen has been lifted it has been made clear to the dullest com, prehension that bunkum is the basis of the business and that really serious swindles are its common accessories. But exposures and warnings have not stopped the supply of dupes, and these r.ischlef-making agencies are still pocketing the savings oi servant gins, and the spare cash of hard-workins young men who ought to know better. The recent prosecutions for missing woror rrauas anu umci u"6 " v-"... titiona show that 20,000, or, perhaps, 60, 500, fools are always standing ready to part with their money. They appear to rely upon such theories as that a man who is not publicly branded as an Imposter must be honest, that a man who advertises extensively must be wealthy, that whatever appears in print must be true, that an entnusias- tie testimonial must be genuine and unsolicited. None of these stupid notions will hold water for a moment. It is no easy tasii to reveal a rogue's character and ca reer to the general public. The law of libel is so severe that a newspaper is generally unable to publish a sentence until it has in its possession a long chain of well-corroborated evidence. In the vast majority of cases the victims d a skillful trickster take no steps to protect others, thinking that they will thus avoid adding to the unpleasant ness of publicity. They say to them selves, "We have been fooled, but why should we let the world know wnai fools we are?" Victims Don't Complain. When the victimization is the out ome of their matrimonial schemes, they are more horrified than ever at me idea of attracting public comraenl to their ambitious aspirations. The dry goods clerk who wanted to find a lady with $25,000 a year and the dressmaker who thought that the photograph of ner pretty face had beguiled the fancy of a Wall street broker are naturally not inclined to amuse their friends with a recital ot tneir uisappoiuLiug capci i ences. The agents of the marriage .iiarket know all this beforehand, and thus it happens that a course -or de ceit and blatant humbug may be ear ned on for months and years without the interference of press or police. To place confidence In the simple dis play of wealth is equally senseless Matrimonial agencies, like bogus loan Dffices, have often proved gold mines to ibeir unscrupulous promoters. The fees Df the foolish soon suffice for splendid Dflices, the costly upholstery of which ;auses the caller to believe that he is dealing with people in the front rank Df the business world. A staff of frock ;oated clerks are there to show the ten ierest sympathy for the husband-seeking shop girl or governess. Lifelong happiness is on sale for a small fee. Who can wonder if they are dazzled by the inviting prospect and part with their hard-won earnings in response to :he honey-toned suggestions of the cun ning rascals? Cheap Game to Run. At this game a big show can be made with little expenditure. Most of the idvertisements are evolved in the mar riage agent's office, from the marriage agent's fertile brain. When a genuine idvertisement does come in, it is proba bly from some forlorn maiden who ha 14 oeen waitine for years for a mate. Th result if there is any result of her subscriptions to the agency will be an introduction to some worthless adven turer, who will borrow whatever money she may be possessed of and then fly ftvry after a fresh quarry. At these offices a part of the stock-in-trade is a collection of highly orna mental photographs handsome fellows vvith curly black hair and drooping mustaches, doll-faced beauties with those charms of face and form which the photographer has touched up with such consummate skill. If the custo mer thinks that a choice is offered from these sDecimens it will prove a delusion, for the best of them are not on the books of the firm at all. The others are probably dissolute persons with whom marriage would be a dire ful catastrophe. I!l miiud Cut Diamond. Perhans the mo.sr amusing element n such negotiations is the frequent in troduction of one adventurer to an other. Kaeh is overjoy at the oppor tunity of acquiring the fortune attrib BUd to the other. If they wed they cannot be long in discovering how ab surdly tbev have worked at cross pur poses. Mutual hatred follows, and mis erable reproaches and appi opriate, punishment for their mercenary enter prises. How are these agencies ultimately to be disestablished? It can only be done by multiplying the genuine oppoituni ties for the young of both sexes to meet one another at sociable functions. It mitrht not to be difficult to get some public-spirited people to organize and superintend something similar to the Institution which the Salvationists have planned. A committee of sensl ble women could be trusted to produce a workable scheme. If the existing agencies were success ful in the slightest degree In bringing about happy marriages, we should b fore now have heard of some of them But the only marriage that ever came Into prominence as an outcome of the advertising system was one that had Its termination in a disgraceful divorce lase.
