The Alaska Commercial Company OF
San Francisco will soon have to meet an
important issue. In February next its
contract with the Russian government
to procure sealskins from the Siberian
rookeries will expire. The question of
renewal is already under consideration
OF the government. The terms under
which the first contract Was made were
exceedingly atisflctory to the company.
A yearly rental OF $780, 900 was paid, and
each skin brought 2 roubles, which IN
American currency is the equivalent OF
about Si6 The catch of seals has also
been uniformly satisfactory, and no se'-
sons were especially disappointing. Last
year over go, 900 skins were obtai ed as
opposed to q 900 received by the North
American Company from the Behrlng
Sea rookeries. Siberian skins, while not
SO much priced as Alaska fur, yet do not
fall very much behind in value. The
Russian government is beset with pro-
posals from dozen companies and syn
dicates to purchase the Siberian sealing
rights, and seal stock is abnOrmally high.
1t is understood the government as re-
fused to relet the contract TO the present
holders under the existing terms. An
increased yearly rental is asked, and the
price OF skins has been raised from 2 to
10 roubles. 1t becomes question then
whether the contract will be resumed by
the Alaska Commercial Company at
these figures 1t is stated the Alaska

OF the saddened spring appears
For it doth tell what heaven
Here on this earth might be,
II you were here with me, love,

Still let new hearts awaken
Meath summer suns aglow;
Some hearts will miss their heaven,
Some heaven may not know.
And where for me afar, love,
On earth, can heaven be,
When thou vert all to me, love,
When thou vert all TO mef
Still let the dewy dawning
Arise for hearts that wake,
And the twilight shadows deepen
Ger the human hearts that break.
Still let them tell hereafter
OF the joys that are to be,
But thou vert all to me, love,
Oh. thou vert all to me.
