Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso-
Lutte safeguard known. A cold is the be-
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to
cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its
victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh,

S. G. Kaufman, secretary of the Skag- way chamber of commerce, who has just returned from an extended trip to Sound points and California, says he found Alaska's credit A No. l among all classes of merchants wherever he went.
 The price of scows is now away up in the pretty picture gallery along the the lakes, owing to combine getting control of the output. A l4x45 scow sells for from S625 to S675, and a 16x5O footer for S85O. And they will go still higher
 The first wedding to take place in the town of White Horse occurred on Sept. 10th at the Episcopal church. The con tracting parties were Mr. E. H. Bridg man, accountant for the c. D. Go. at that place, and Miss Ruby May Kidd, of Vancouver, B. c.
 , The Atlin Claim says that the Van couver claim on Willow creek, belong ing to Messrs. Cross, Rourke & McLen- nan, turned out over S35O for the last weeks sluicing with four men employ ed. Two nuggets weighing over three ounces each were obtained.
 F.F. Clark, the Porcupine City hotel keeper, says that mining operations will be carried on in that district all winter. A large quantity of machinery such as hoisting engines, steam pumps, etc., has been ordered and will be put in position as soon as it arrives.
 The Nimrod syndicate represented by Lord Hamilton, which erected a D. stamp mill on the Anaconda mine in the Atlin district, and which handled a considerable quantity of the Munroe mountain ores, has thrown up it's bond on the property, the results of its work proving unsatisfactory.
 It is now estimated by Seattle trans portation men that the output of ! Alaska canneries this year will reach 1 15O0O cases. This will mean a tax to the federal government of 86O,QO0, not one cent of which will be retained in Alaska, except one-half of that paid by the cannery at Ketchikan.
 The Cudahys, the Chicago packers, are to erect fish canning establishments in Alaska, and will be independent of the Alaska Packers Association, which has long held a cinch on the output. They have already selected two sites, one at Smokehouse bay, on Pyramid harbor, and one on Chilkoot Inlet.
 Frank Clark, who has a patch of ground at Porcupine City, takes great pride in exhibiting turnip 10 inches in diameter. An envious neighbor says it was shipped from California and transplanted in Clark's garden, and that every time Frank goes away from home he pulls it up and takes it with him for fear some one might swipe it.

The Juneau Miner of last week says that MT. Matlock returned from the new diggings on Nugget creek Friday night. He left men getting out timber for comfortable camp and boarding house. Development work, Mir. Mat lock says, has occupied most of his time and attention so far. 1t is now his plan to build a dam some 200 feet in length, throwing the creek into channel and leaving the present chan nel dry for 1900 feet When this is ac- complished he thinks the returns will be handsome. As a result of shovel ing at odd times, extending over quite a period of time, he reports a clean up of some $500. The gold is mostly fine with few small nuggets.
 The Atlin Claim man occasionally has visions of celestial splendor, as witness the following: "We poor plod- ding mortals, laden with petty cares, should look up into the heavens these evenings and take note of the wondrous panoramas therein displayed. The sun. sets lately have been gorgeous in the extreme, that of Monday evening being beyond the tongue or art of man to de- pict. All that artists have dreamed of beauty falls short of the ineffable mag nificence of the scene. It is no use trying to describe the indescribable. It was a revelation of Gods glory which dwarfed mans little aims and ambi- tions into utter nothingness; a sermon in the sky that all might read, fore taste and promise of immortality"
 Those who have the matter of public service in charge in the Canadian Yu- kon, says the White Horse Star, are just now making preparations for the winter. The Canadian government is to undertake the important work of building cut off for the winter trail to Dawson which will leave the Yukon near Selkirk and then run straight ov erland to the headwaters of the Bonan- ga and down the stream into Dawson. It is also reported that a cut off is to be made that will avoid Lake LeBarge. This, it is ventured, may follow the general course of the survey for the original route of the White Pass & Yu- kon extension from White Horse to Sel- kirk, which runs into and along the Dalton trail for considerable distance.
 Dr. J. N. Garner, special agent of the U. s. treasury department, is in Alaska looking into the question of the circu Iation of Canadian currency in this great and glorious land of the free and the home of the brave. If the Dr. feels disposed, he might throw one leg over the arm of his easy chair, take his pen in his fist, and indite a few lines to our father Bill at Washington to the effect that his system of taxation drains the country of so much of Uncle Sam's le- gal tender, that Canadian currency is necessary for the ordinary transaction of business. We think father Bill is yearning for the truth in carload lots concerning Alaska. Therefore, we be- lieve if the Dr. should write, making the customary apologies for poor ink and bad pen, his communication would be received with most gracious consideration. And who knows but what the pr. might be decorated with the ribbon. of the order of the hatchet and the cherry tree. Men have suffer ed promotion for much less provocation than this.

Juneau ClJy COuuCil 10 WOIhAuS ON- ertime on ordinances and bids fair to have sufficient on hand to give employ ment to the chain gang by the time cold weather sets in. Think of the fate of those poor unfortunates who, for some petty misdemeanor, will be com pelled to stand day by day in the snow aud storm and cord them up.
 City Engineer Diers of Skagway on Sept. Fist made a provisional contract with Frank F. Clark to build Hume mile long to wash out the gold on the ground Clark and Bigelow have leased on Porcupine creek from Mix & Stew art. To give the contracted water sup ply some tunneling is necessary and Assistant City Engineer Bell left Sept. 22nd to make the necessary surveys.
 Members of the w. c. T. U at Skag- way are protesting against the issuance of licenses to four saloons in that city on the ground that they are within 400 feet of a church, and have succeeded in bringing tho matter before the court. 1t would appeart to a rank outsider that if the good within the church were not sufficient to counteract the evil within the saloon, it were better for the church to devote it's time and energies to tind- ing out the reason and set about seek ing a remedy other than legal redress.
 On the last of Sept. there were 5000 tons of Dawson freight on the wharves at Skagway, while the carrying capaci- ty of the White Pass R. R. is but 400 tons per day. At this same time there were 2OOO tons of freight accumulated at White Horse, and the railroad com pany had little space left in which to store incoming freight. Transporta- tion rates between White Horse and Dawson had been advanced to 875 per ton, and probably at this date are S100 per ton.
 Liquor, of the deepest depravity brand, sells at s per bottle in Circle City, while the same article, in the same quantity, costs 810 in Dawson. 'Tis said the duty makes the difference. The duty one owes his country, as it were. And, much as we detest the ad- mission, this duty, we'll observed, pass es current for patriotism in that white house enclosed by signs of "keep off the grass" 'Twere ever thus; we make Q fuss, and think too much of self. We make a muss, and bust our truss, in reaching after pelf.
 The Alaskan says that Mrs. Mary D. Hitchcock, whose books and magazine articles on Alaska have probably done more to make the characteristics of this country generally known than the work of any other writer, has been spending the week in Skagway. She leaves in a few days to attend the great potlatch at KIuckwan, by invitation of Chief George and the other chiefs who are giving it. This may be the last no table potIatch of the Alaska Indians of Southeastern Alaska, and it is also probable that it will result in patching up all the feuds and quarrels among the tribes and lead to an organization of all the Indians of this section in keeping with recent progress and civil izing influences. Mrs. Hitchcock takes artists with her to illustrate her ac- count of this historical gathering.
