TROUBLE IS THREATENED.
CANADIAN PACIFIC DIssATIsFIED
WITH HoMEsEEKER TRAVEL.
American Lines and Promises TO
Dissolve Commission Agreement
II Amount IL Not Forthcoming.

There Is a prospect that before very
many weeks there will be trouble in the
immigration departments OF the trans
continental lines. The disturbing factor
Is said by those who are In touch with
the matter 10 be the Canadian Pacific,
which. at a juncture when the nome
seeker business 10 the West is beginning
to show up well. finds that 1t is not re-
ceiving what II considers its share of the
business, and has made certain demands
ON the other lines which 1t Is believed will
not be granted.
The situation threatens to resolve itself
into practically the same condition as
existed prior TO the settlement of the
differences last spring. when all Western
lines withdrew the homeseeker rates and
about the same time did away with the
practice of paying commissions for bush
ness.
The whole matter hinges. II is said.
upon the unwIllingness OF the American
lines to pay to the Canadian Pacific about
H15,ooo which the latter claims Is due 1t
on former immigration business. The
American lines contend that the claim
Is not a just one and the same argu-
men,s are put forward as when the mat
ter was first brought up six months ago.
However, the Canadian Pacific remains
firm and threatens that unless the amount
is paid IL will return 10 the practice OF
paying commissions. This would be a
serious blow to the American lines.
That the Canadian Pacific means BUSH
ness Is shown by the fact that II has
served notice upon the lines Of the West
ern Passenger Association that unless the
matter In controversy is adjusted at once
II will take steps to secure it's share of
the immigrant and homeseeker business
by paying commissions TO all agents rout-
ing business over Its line.
Just what the lines interested Will do
n not known. The Canadian Pacific
when IL signed the presidents agreement,
bound itself not to pay commissions 10
bona nde ticket agents. but reserved the
right to pay fees on excursion travel Ae-
cordng 10 the Canadian Pacifics way OF
looking at the matter ticket scalpers are
excursion agents. The American lines
maintain that when the Canadian Pa
clnc entered into the agreement Ii wns un-
derstood that the immigrant problem was
settled in the business being divided. and
the Canadian Pacific being given its share
OF the travel

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
BIG CROWDS ON THE OPENING NIGHT.-A
 SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.

The Douglas Opera House, which is deserving of the praise it is receiving from all sides, was formally opened to the public last Saturday evening. Mir. Gius, the proprietor, has secured some of the best talent that money can in- duce to come to Alaska, and on that evening he gave for an initial perform ance a family show, which met with due appreciation from our people. The attendance was large, every seat being filled.
 MT. Tim Starin, the manager, has had many years of experience in the show business and his acting was quickly ap- preciated. As an Irish lady he is suc- cess and his sallies of wit kept the au- dience in a roar of laughter.
 Miss Evelyne Leister, in song and dancing, is pleasing and attractive.
 Mir. Frank Montrose is well known in this part of Alaska and his coon pro- ductions are always welcomed.
 Miss Debby Rickling is pretty and jolly and brought forth an encore with her comic songs.
 Mir. Will Malan end Miss Nellie How ard gave a pretty little sketch, "A Home Party" which touched tender spot in everybody's heart. MT. Malan is also deserving mention as balancer, and Miss Howard in her singing.

PuBLIC LIBRARY CLOSED.

We regret to learn that the Public Library is to be closed, but so many subscribers have moved away, and there are so many claims upon our citi- zens- Fire Department, Cemetery, Street Improvements, etc.-that there seemed to be no other course as now the expenditures exceed the receipts every month.
 The books, however, will still to some extent fulfill their mission as to gener- al use in that large number of suita- ble ones are to be presented to the li- braries of the public schools of Doug las and TreadwelI, others to the Hospi- tai for the benefit of convalescents, while those of a religious character will be placed in the Sunday School library of the Congregational church.
 At the request of Rev H. Hammond Cole, who has been in charge from July 1st, 1899, committee of the subscribers consisting of Mir. Chas. A. Hopp, Mir. J. A. Kemmis and Mir. P. H. Fox, have gone over all the accounts up to Nov. 1st, 1900, and find them correct.
