OUTFITTING MINERS
Fort Wrangel the Best Place
An Abundance of Goods at les s
 than Seattle prices

The three leading stores in Fort Wrangel are amply supplied with min- ers' goods and there is no good reason why the Klondiker should purchase his goods on the Sound when he can get the sane at Fort Wrangel for less than is paid at other places.
 A man named J. P. Lowe, former resident of Vancouver, Washington, re- gently wrote a letter to the Columbian, which is published in that city. Mir. Low writes from fort Wrangel and we take the following extract.
 My plan is to outfit here in wrangel and be prepared to stay d year or so This outfit will cost $l75 here or in Se- attle: but it is best to buy here, for we know better what is needed.'
 There is much in knowing what is needed and how to put it up, and in this the merchants of Fort Wrangel excel those of the cities on the coast. Out fitting for miners at this place has been a business for twenty five years. while in the coast cities they have had prac- tically no experience in that line.
 The goods are here and for sale.
 Come to Fort wrangel and buy your outfit.
 Have it properly put up and it will pay you well in the end. If you have any doubt on the subject write to Reid X Sylvester Maurice tJpaly or Duncan Mckinnon. and you will discover that you can buy as cheap here as any place. if not cheaper and then you will have the goods put up ill proper shape.

Political Happiness

Tho single taNcrs are doing more good hard political work than all the other parties combined according to the numbers engaged. When single tax takes hold of d man. it seems to loosen up his jaws in great shape. and he goes to work at once. Some say il is l craze. a fad. and will wear oil after a while. We don't know how that is but one thing is certain. it catches some good men. The happicst politician + the single taXer it seems to make him feel good all over and he tries to make every body believe he is on the track that leads to earthly happiness. It may pan out like Henry Georges anti poverty society. d fine scheme in theory. but in practice it wasn't worth coil tinental. We know of. but one thing that will take the imitation out of d sim gle taXcr, and that is to ask him to ex- plain upon what principles of right and justice q poor mans home should he taxed, and the rich mans millions in money and personal property should es- cape the tax "athcrcr IL is d poser for them. Of course they have an an- swer- they are all well read. but keep them close to to the question and out goes the wind from their sails. We would like to be d siugle taxer- We want to feel good all the time. for sin gle taXers are always happy but if We let 90 our present taxing system We would ike to have one that will make the rich bondholder pony up his share of the money to run the govern ment with. Well it > all right as it is. there never will be enough of them tc bring about change and it causes men to read, which is d good thing. Be a single taNer if you want to. it will never do any harm.

CALLED DOWN
Cap ain Roberts is Boss

The City of Seattle. Roberts Captain. stopped on her way down last Weakness day. The Seattle has mate named Willis, who evidently likes to display his authority. Chief Clerk Burke. took the mail down to the Seattle while she was tied up. and Mate Willis re- fused to receive it. and Burke carried il back again to the office. It Was a large mail and included the last issue of the JOURNAL. When informed of the state of affairs a JOURNAL man went would take the mail if it was delivered at the boat.
 But it was delivered there once and acceptance was refused' said the wri- ter.
 "Tell them on board the captain of the boat says to receive the mail." said Mr. Roberts.
 Postmaster ear was promptly in- formed of the captains orders. and for q second time the bulky mail sack was taken down to the boat. When Mr. Burke got within speaking distance of the Seattle. Mate Willis shouted out,
 "Is that the mail?''
 Yes. says Burkc.''
 "l won't take it. said Willis. and he swellcd out so that the buckle on his pants was strained and the threads on f he front buttOn Stratrhp
 "I guess you will" said Burke. No l won't, said Willis
 ''Who is boss, you or the Captain?' said Burke.
 'The captain. of course", said Willis. and his clothes began to loosen up.
 ''He says to take this mail" said Burke with considerable satisfaction.
 'All right then" answered Willis, '' and as the mail went on board, mate Willis was ever so much smaller-in fact he was a reminder of the thin man from Dayton
 The business men of Seattle as well as the JOURNAL thank Capt. Roberts for taking the mail, for orders for goods are written every day, and it is very important that the mails should leave here as promptly as possible.

The new road be- ing built ty the government shortens he distance and follows comparatively lat country, the swampy land being ;orduroyed.
 'Teslin lake is from two to five miles vide, and so miles long. At the head f the lake. two Sawmills are running fight and day.

THE POWDER POOL
Is Big Game For Fitzgerald to
Tackle

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-The
Examiner tomorrow will say: BY what
lis known as the World pool, the powder
manufacturers of the eastern and west
ern hemispheres have been bound to-
gether since August, 1897, in a trust
which controls absolutely the trade in
explosives. The affiliated companies
have divided the world into three parts
the American companies have one
part, the Europeans another, and the
third is neutral ground, where business
is done for the common purse of the
American and European countries.
In this pooling agreement are the Cal
ifornia powder makers. In order to dis
rupt this trust, the facts of it's organiza-
ton and methods have been laid before
State Attorney General Fitzgerald and
United States District Attorney Foote,
with view to having it enjoined, as the
local coal combine has been so recently
by United States Judge Morrow. The
allegation is made that the so-called pool
is "a combination in restraint of trade -
and full details of it's alleged organiza-
ton and methods of doing business
have been presented to the prosecuting
attorneys of the state and federal
courts.

A CAUSE FOR CURSING
GIVEN BY CLUNIE TO THE FIRE
UNDERWRITERS
Bonds Of All Companies Not Incor-
porated Under California Laws
Are. Declared Invalid

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-State In
surance Commissioner Clunie has de-
clared invalid and insufficient the bonds
of all fire and marine insurance COM
panies doing business in California and
not incorporated under the laws of the
state. This order applies to domestic
as we'll as foreign companies. AS a re-
suit it is contended that none of the
eighty-two companies affected by the
order is now qualified to transact busi-
ness, nor will they be legally entitled to
issue a single policy until such time as
they shall have filed new bonds, and
the bonds shall have been approved by
the insurance commissioner. The penal
code provides that any person procur-
ing or agreeing to procure any insurance
for a resident of this state from any in
surance company not incorporated
under the laws of this state, unless such
company or it's agent has filed the bond
required by law, is guilty of misde-
meanor.
AS the bonds of all companies not in
corporated under the laws of California
have been declared invalid any agent
of any of the disqualified corporations
doing business tomorrow will be liable
to arrest on charge of misder11eanor.

IN THE HOUSE
All Interest Centered on Teller's Silver
Resolution

| WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-It Is the in
tention Of the house leaders to offset as
| far as possible the action of the senate
in passing the Teller resolution by kill
| ing that declaration of the sense of con-
gress regarding the payment of the gov
ernment's coin bonds in silver, on a nay
and aye vote in the house this week.
This will be the feature of the proceed
ings. While the full Republican strength
of the house cannot be combined against
the resolution, no doubt is expressed by
those who have made it their business
to canvass the situation that the major
ity against it will be decisive. AS soon
as the resolution is reported back from
the ways and means committee, which
may be tomorrow, the rules committee
will bring in special order for it's con-
sideration. The time allowed for de-
bate is likely to be brief, as the leaders
do not believe there is any necessity for
protracted debate, and, moreover, a long
discussion would measurably decrease
the very purpose they have in view
namely, prompt and decisive negative
reply to the senates declaration.
The remainder of the week will be de-
voted to the appropriation bills The
District of Columbia bill is still under
discussion. and the fortifications bill
ls yet on the calendar The house lead
ers intend to give appropriations bills
the right of way, in order to make an
early adjournment possible.
The moment the appropriations bills
are out of the way the new rules will be
brought in. and after that the contested
election cases and the bankruptcy bill
will be brought forward.

Consul General Churchill, who is in the

Arizona who established mission near
Apia the natives laughed at him, and
that they have a different feeling for
the British and German governments
which keep one or two cruisers in Sa-
moan waters.
