Of the Oratorical contest held in the col

The Orizara.

The Orizaba, one of the best boats, owned by the Pacific Coast Co.,, steamed into the channel last Saturday morn ing. She was all day discharging her cargo at Juneau and pulled over to Douglas Island late in the evening. The crew is a kind of mixed up lot and very creditable outfit too. Capt. c. E. Huikle is in command and he is said to be very competent man. He used to be on the Geo. w. Elder. At the office in Juneau they give him a good name and we are willing to pronounce him all right.
 Mr. Bush was transferred from the Al-Ki. He is one of the best pursers in the employ of the company and as genial and pleasant as he is good looking.
 The stewards department is in the hands of Mir. Taylor and his competent aid, MT. McAvoy. We didn't sample their grub this trip, but we know it was all right.

TIE SENATORIAL PARTY. Reaches Juneau in Safety Orators Pump Knowledge
 Into Seekers After
 Wisdom.
VISIT DOUGLAS ISLAND

The long looked for senatorial party arrived in Juneau last Saturday fore noon on the Mccullough and is made up of Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks and Master Robert, Senator and Mrs. Eos ter, Hon. R. G. Evans, attorney general of Minnesota; Gov. Brady, of Alaska; Hon. E. O. Graves, president of the Se- attle chamber of commerce, MT. k. A. Henderson, Special correspondent of the Tacoma News; and J. K. Bain, sec retary to Senator Fairbanks.
 In the afternoon a number of the party visited the basin and stamp mills being accompanied by Mir. l.. G. Kauf- man, Col. Darrow, Judge Malcolm, and a number of other prominent citizens across the channel.
 In the evening a meeting was held in the chamber of commerce rooms, which was attended by Senator Fairbanks, Gov. Brady and other members of the senatorial party, and many of the lead ing citizens of the city across the chan nel. It turned out to be good gather ing for Alaska. Good, because the wis itors were informed of the true condi- tion of affairs in this district. There was some speech making. It wasn't the ordinary kink It was talk that came from men who were pleading fer their homes, for equal rights, liberty and justice. That they might be regarded as men, as citizens of great republic, and not as serfs-as slaves.
 Mir. Wm. Ebner presided over the meeting and after few introductory remarks, introduced Judge Delaney. The Judge was loaded-he always is when a good speech is needed or called for. He covered the whole ground; schools, taxation without representa- tion, denial of justice on account of the inaccessibiIity of the judge, and the boundary. He made strong plea for justice for Alaska.
 Next came Ex-Gov Swineford He is one of the brainiest men in the dis trict and he too made an able and elo, quent presentation of the needs of Alaska. He urged, and in strong manner, territorial form of govern ment for this portion of Alaska.
 Judge Malcolm followed and spoke concerning the Carter bill and the need of more judges. Before the Judge stopped he made rattling good talk.
 At this stage of the proceedings our men took a rest and Hon. E. o. Graves, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Seattle, was called. He spoke of his trip to Alaska and the pleasure he had in sight seeing, and expressed sur prise at the rapid development Alaska had made. MT. Graves is an educated polished gentleman and his talk was we'll received. He also spoke upon the boundary question.
 The next speaker was Senator Fair, banks. He was the man that Judge Delaney, Gov. Swineford and Judge Malcolm were firing at. He is here fo1 information as to Alaska's needs. He got it. The senator is a nice, smooth talker He spoke of the schools and our judiciary He expressed surprise that the judiciary of this district

Died.

Regina Geiger Jackson was born in Germany, Oct. 12. 1S48; departed this life June p, 1899. She came to America, and was married in 1884 to Wm. Jack son, at Helena, Montana. Soon after their marriage they moved to Tacoma, Washington, from there to Port Angeles, Wash, and Feb, 1898, came to Douglas Island.
 She has been a member of the Con- gregational church for several years, having given her heart to the Lord when quite young. Her Christian character has been beautifully manifest ed in her home and all who have come in contact with her have recognized in her the sweet spirit of Christ.
 While she had no children of her own, yet her house was often filled with them, for the children loved her. When, for the last time friends were permitted to gaze on her dear face, silent and peaceful ill death, the children crowd ed around the bier and their childish grief was most touching. Pure and spotless in her life, kind, loving and thoughtful, her good works live after her, and form a monument grander than whitest marble, more lasting than hardest granite.
 The afflicted husband has the heartfelt sympathy of all in his dark hour of grief
 The funeral service was held Satur- day, June "A, at o'clock ?. m., at the Friends Mission, and was conducted by Rev c. N. Replogle. The burial was in the Douglas cemetary.
