A vptad of Seattle hankers have got* ten hold o' it ami drupj>ed* t healander n if he were a whit* chip. When a Seattle banker haves anything for my body else it s something that he overlooks. fliere is not thing the matter with , ..’ Kinks. Although of its —t buildings went up in smoke the town promptly notified the world that iT was a hie t > take care of its own troubles and it began to rebuild before the ember> of tin tire cooled. If there > another town on earth of 3000 popu lation that can start on the scratch and neat Fairbanks it has so far lacked the op|»ortimitY to try. The news that Marshal Ferry will, ssg Judge Gunnison of the Second dis-: trict to approve his accounts will give a ray of hope to men all over the Third district who have juror or wit ness fees coming. These fees are held up on account of the absence of Judge Wiekersham from the district for seven months, and may now be placed mi the red tape route to payment. A professor of geology in the kero sene educational plant known a> the university of Chicago. says the world will l*e habitable fur 100.000,000 years longer. Not if tie Standard Oil C'om pany continues in charge a few years more. Every man who ever lived in Nome and afterward sticks his head up for office gets a welt from >ome citizen of t he burg. That must be a happy fam ily up there. Maybe some sporting authority can , ure out what .Jimmy Britt and Terry McGovern expected to prove by their - • upping exhibition. Either Shipoff or frusoff sounds like ^ood name for a man to Iniost out the esent Russian cabinet. The Russian revolution is a little Mow in starting but the bomb-throwers are making a regular tom-tom noise. TRY TO LOOK PLEASED The Seattle papers are trying to aj> pear pleased over the outcome of the effort to get Portland into the Alaska field. When the Northern Pacific an nounced a special rate to Alaska ship ments from Portland to he trans shipped by steamer from Sound ports the Seattle jobbers set up a roar about 'discrimination and the newspapers started on the same tack. After mas ticating the shred for a day or two a better thought struck the editors and they eetigratulated their local adver tising patrons on the failure of Port.* land to p< ' i steamer on tin* Alaska run. “It is ;i - re thing now." said the Times and ‘.-I. in substance as they teetered r.or\ e-ly upon the same plank, ‘that Port and can never oper ate a steamer line successfully to Alaska, no. never, and the special rate won't hurt Seattle much." Nevertheless Seattle is plainly an noyed by the effort of Portland to butt in on Se.itt e preserves and by the willingness of the Northern I acitic to help. What the railroad company w mts of course is to haul freight from Portland to Seattle. The Times was unable to get it' news and editorial columns tn entire harmony on the probable result. An editorial leader pro' oil i bat Port land s effot t to g* f \!:cku business is wholly inconse quential. but in the news columns ap pears the following under a top head on the front page: “To head off the possibility of th* establishment of any steamship lines from the Columbia river to Alaskan points and toiiiwr as much as possi* i :; . traffic to rail Un-s. the Nor n Pacific made the fiat rate of 71 r, - r 100 pound- on goods shipped i»y Portland merchant'’ to Alaska, “ The freight charge, amounting to s|.;,o {or. will he jd'-otlM’d by - , • - S’ e; ..(tbtg out of Seattle will probably ... .-H v ' : and handling charge-. _ p, • |V{ that steamship com I ti r c the Times -ays in •M,,l . • - .u rise <>r gon metropolis .,;| w'iiuer on the establish-; in ut of a st< aruer line from Portland to Ala-kar |torts. I he southern! whole-ab -s i-tened to speeches from A askarts who declared the line would pay and that Vlaska wanted Portland j . . . s. No one volunteered to pay for | n bout., -ti the matter dropped. ••Now the Northern Pacific has come • , • be relic of the Port. .. jobbers by making a rate of 7 ce.tt- per Id" pot'mis on freight between Portland Puget Sound port-, hound to j Alaska. Portland jobbers can do j busine— under this rate. The Seattle Post - Intelligencer! b-M.nly affirm- that merchandise for Alu-ka Iwught in Portland will cost • ariy s_ a ton more than if bought in j Seattle. Since when did goods cost j ini):"• under competition limn without j i'Y It is also hoped that the quality j ,■• , ilc . of -tuff from all ports w.l! increase at least Y- a ton with) mo e than one city -oiling.

Congressman Towne modestly asserts that the Republican party has become very tough since h** left it. MAS FRIENDS IN JUNEAU Dispatch Gives Notice of Candidacy of F. E. Youngs. The Juneau Dispatch gives the fol lowing complimentary notice to the candidacy of Frank K. Youngs for delegate to congress: •‘F. K. Youngs of Seward, secretary and treasurer of the Damascus Mining and Milling Co., and paymaster on the Alaska Central railroad, is out for delegate to congress. In writing to a friend in this city he says, "I would like the job of delegate. If 1 could get the support of your end of Alaska, l can land it.” It is not known what the gentleman’s policy is. hut he is spoken of highly by those who know him in this city.” Stevens May Be a Candidate Seattle papers announce that the miners and longshoremen’s unions of Nome have voted to support S. II. Stevens, editor of the Nome Gold Digger, for delegate to congress. It is not stated that Mr. Stevens has de cided to become a candidate. Judge Mellen a Candidate Judge Mellen of Coppermount has been named as another candidate for the nomination for delegate. Cp to date he makes the sixth candidate froin’the panhandle. He is a brother in-law of the new governor and a dem ocrat. Sitka Cablegram. SEWARD STEAMERS Bertlm; sailed from Seattle 26th. Santa Clara: sailed from Seattle out side 31 st.
