A Severe Winter Coming.

All the indications on which great re- liance is always placed point to a long and severe winter In the first place. there is the goose bone. For the first time in eight years it is very wide and nearly all white, which is sure sign of early snow, deep snow and snow of long duration. Then there is the ragweed. It is unusually tall Thus does nature provide for the feeding of the non-mi- gratory birds when there is to be deep snow. Moreover, examination of corn husks has disclosed that they are unus- ually heavy. That is another sign of extreme cold. The woodchuck, further more, corroborates the other evidence with fur of unusual thickness. That is a sign that never fails, even when oth- CTS do. Lastly, there is to be consider ed that there is a surplus of tempera- ture which will have to be wiped out by a correspondent deficit. These indica- tions will convince even the most skep- tical and induce them to make wise provision for one of the severest winters that have been experienced in long time.-Albany Express.

improvement and up-building of Wrangel and the Chamber of Com merce as they do now to destroy and tear down, Wrangel would soon be in condition as prosperous as of yore.
 NOTES.
 Who said Porter's name was not mentioned at the meeting?
 Wonder who told Judge Tustin that Dr. Campbell was fond of good fire?
 Tom Case wanted to make speech but he was so far back in the room that the president could not see or hear him.
 Duncan Mckinnon says he don't care whether they make Wrangel free port of entry or not, but he does object to having a free entry through the floor of his warehouse.
 The sanitary committee asked to be discharged. Mr. Bloomhardt gave as a reason, that the women objected to his smelling around their back yards.
 Capt. Wilson makes good presiding officer. The same can be said of vice president Reed and treasurer Bloom hardt, and the Chamber made no mis- take in selecting them.
 The secretary is selected by the ex- ecutive committee, which will be at tended to at the next meeting.
 Somebody intimated that Wakefield was loosing confidence in Wrangel. and it took two men to keep him from com mitting murder.
 Much good will be acomplished this winter through the Chamber of Com merce, if every body will push. Every good citizen who fails to join the Cham Der of Commerce on it's passage upthe hill it is now ascending, will do as much harm to Wrangel as two men in the Chamber can do good.

Cha Der of Commerce.

Last Monday evening was the regu- lar meeting of the Chamber of Com merce. and quite number of members were present The meeting was held in the court room, which Judge Tustin had previously made comfortable with a fine large fire and plenty of good lights.
 At So'clock president Wilson took the chair and called the meeting to order After considerable discussion upon different subjects, the annual el- ection of officers took place.
 Capt. Thomas Wilson was reelected president, Robert Reed was reelected vice president, and George w. Bloom hardt was reelected treasurer.
 The matter of most importance dis cussed during the evening was "How shall we secure the expenditure of some of the money appropriated by Congress for the erection of public buildings in A laska, for Wraneel. This question Nto tiS ttltSS VI IStilti h' iilN members generally taking part in the discussion. A resolution was finally adopted appointing committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Mcklnnon, Camp bell. Bloomhardt. Arment and Wake field to devise ways and means. and to prepare a draft of a memorial upon the subject of securing some of the appro- prations above referred to and present the matter at the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce for approval. C. F. Ingersoll offered resolution regarding Wrangel as a free port of entry for Canadian goods. upon which Mr. Ingersoll and others addressed the meeting at some length. The resolu- tion was finally referred to the commit- tee on ways and means for action and report.
 On the whole the meeting was d success, and bids fair to bc the fore runner of much good for Wrangel.
 The next meeting will be held at the court house on Monday evening, Nov. l4th, at 7:30 sharp, at which time the report of the committee will be acted upon. A full attendance of the mem- bers is expected.
 President Wilson announced for the Chamber, that the doors were open for the admission of new members, and that all reputable citizens who were willing to conform to the bylaws, were respectfully invited to present their applications for membership.
 Judging from the harmony that pre- vailed during the meeting, we are free to say, that if all the people in Wrangel who are on the outside of the Chamber of Commerce, were to get on the inside and raise their voices as loud for the

1.-THE HOUSE IS HAUNrED"
As Sung by Deputy-Collcctor
 Frank Richards.

Frank Richards, deputy collector at the boundary, is going to write d book entitled "The House is Haunted" and dedicate it to Messrs Smith and Hun ter. and thereby hangs tale. Frank came to town the other day and put up at the custom house as d guest of Smith and Hunter. Before showing him to the room he was to oc- cupy, Smith fastened fish line to the springs on Franks bed and then run it through to his own room adjoining. About the time Frank was dropping off to sleep, Smith pulls the string and Frank jumps out of bed yelling smith. Hunter For Gods sake bring d light. There is someone in the room.''
 Smith and Hunter ran into the room and after hunting high and low and finding nothing, convinced Frank that he had been dreaming and all wen, back to bed again.
 In one hour eby the watch. Smith again pulled the string and Frank jumped and yelled louder than ever "Quick boys. Bring light. I was not mistaken. l was not dreaming. There is something in this room
 Again the search was made and no- thing found. This time the boys want ed to know what "brand" Frank was using. It took some time to get Frank back to bed again. but at last it was ;l,.- complished.
 He had hardly got the clothes over his head before Smith gave an extra hard pull and the string broke. This time Frank was frantic and insisted un a complete search of the house being made. So with only their nightshir,s and revolvers on they started. with Smith. the smallest man. in the lead A thorough search of all the rouG5 was made and everything, was found all right.
 Then a councll of war was held a,.d Frank made the following few remarks: "Boys. this house is haunted. If we remain here We will all be little angels before morning. l am going down to the hotel and God forgive me if ever sleep in this haunted house again
 Frank then took his departure. frln- ly convinced. in his own mind. that tine house was haunted.
 The story was too good to keep and our reporter overheard a certain you! man telling it. in strict confidence. to his best girl.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Territory of Alaska. Executive Office Sitka, Alaska.
 We here in Alaska can join our friends in the States in rendering praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his goodness and mercy. Victory has been given us over Spain and our Army and Navy have brought liberty and hope to people who were crushed. While our soldiers have gained battles we can be thankful that we did not have 8 Stronger Enemy to fight, and that our own pitiable weakness in supplying. caring for and handling troops has been revealed to us.
 The States have been blessed with abundant harvests and the fruits of the husbandman' s toll have come to us by the shiploads.
 We have sent in return an immense product from our canneries and d large sum in gold bullion from our quartz and placer mines. We can rejoice that many families have established their permanent homes in Alaska during the year now closing. The poor man can thank God that there is such a country as Alaska where there are so many grand opportunities for him. While we recall all these things. with feelings of gratitude the recollection of those who were so suddenly taken on the Clara Nevada and in the Chilcoot Pass will solemnize our thoughts and temper our devotion.
 In accordance with the time-honored custom of the fOrefathers of our country. therefore I, John G. Brady. Governor of the District of Alaska, do hereby ap- point Thursday, the 24th day of Nov ember, A. D., 1898 as a day of solemn and public thanksgiving to God for past blessings and of supplcation for His continued kindness and care over us as d District and Nation.
 On the day designated let us assem- ble at our respective places of worship, and with grateful praise and thanks giving confess our responsibility to God, the Creator of us all. and forget not to share our plenty with the poor, to comfort the sick, cheer the unfortu- nate and manifest charity toward all.
 Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the Territory of Alaska, at Sitka, this 3rd day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight and the one hundred and twenty-third year of our American Independence. and the thirty first year of the transfer of the Terri tory from Russia to the United States.

FRANCHISE FOR JAPANESE
Startling Story Sent Out by the San
Francisco Call.
ALLEGED Price 10 Be Paid by President Nc
KiDley for JapanS Consent 10
Hawaiian Annexation. y

The following washington cor
respondence appears in The San
Francisco Call of February 4:
japan has been removed as an
element in the opposition to the
consu m nation of the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands by the
United States.
This result has been attained
by the conclusion of an agreement
between this Government ard that
Of japan, as represented by Min
lister Toru Hoshi, which, by prac
tically settling the status OF the
japanese in Hawaii, removes the
only b-tautiaI difference that
has existed between the two Gov
ernmentJ.
The Japanese Government, for
its part, announced some time ago
that it no longer cared to inter
pose any objection to the snnexa
ton of Hawaii, based on princi-
pie. Since that time the CORES
pondence between Mr.. Hoshi and
the State Department has been
directed to a satisfactory settle
ment of the status of the resident
japanese in Hawaii, aud this last
point has now been adjusted, 80
far rs the exec ntive branch of the
Government is capable of acting
independently, the agreement be-
ing reduced to the shape of a
written memorandum.
The document, which has not
been generally taken into account
in the consideration of means for
adjusting the questions that have
arisen over the status of Jat anes
in Hawaii, goes into effect in
July next year, and among other
tbingc it confers upon Jap.nese
within the territory OF the United
Stat S. all of the rights acc 'rded
to the citizens of the most favored
nation, which, of course, carries
with it rights of naturalization
AID the exercise of the rights of
franchise. Presenting that auuex-
alton il effected the Japan
Pse in Hawaii will, in 1899, have
the same rights rs those in the
present limits of the United
States. AL that remains to be
fixed is the status of the japanese
during the tim that must elap-e
between the ratification of the an ..
nexation trea y and the begin ming
of the operations of the japanese
treaty of 1899. Iuasmuch MS the
pending annexation tr-aty pro-
vldrs for the appointment of a
comm ission to visit the islands
aud prepare such Legislation as
may be necessary to consummate
the amalgamation of the territories.
this last question can easily be
adjusted along with other details

gress.
