some Handsome Rugs.

Probably the most satisfactory inox pensive rug is one of body brussels car pet. These are usually kept in stock at the large carpet houses, made from rem nants as they accumulate. They can be had in various sizes from a square of nine feet or even somewhat less to a size that will serve in large room. They come, too, ip beautiful Persian patterns and, well made as they are, with borders carefully matched and seams lined and pressed, they are both handsome and durable. A good domestic smyrna costs a little more and has the added advan tage of use on both sides The ingraip art squares are not to be recommended in room where the wear is at all seri ous. They are useful and effective, as they come in excellent designs, for light service, their extreme cheapness being another advantage The impor tant rugs of this charact [ are more du' rabla. as they ought Co be. costing twice as much or more. but their patterns are rather dull, and their grade of colors limited and difficult to tone with fur. nishinga Jute rugs are to be found ir most attractive patterns and in avarietJ of colorings. dark and light and at a very low price. They should be pur chased, however, with the knowledge that their wearing qualities are very poor.

IMPORTANT TRADE EPOCH.


 The forces that arc at work today fixing the lines of commerce in the north are vital forces SS far as Skagwav s concerned. and as for that vital to several other ports along the coast at points of entrance to the interior. This fact Is recognized bv many f not the majority of the citizens of Skag- way. and now Is the time ,hev should watch carefully the movements In the progress and development of industrial and transportation forces as well as h the de- Velopment of the riches of the various parts of the north. The statement that q large part Oi the trade put of Seattle IS likely to be diverted to the St. Milhaels route In seeking the klondike market, as against the Skzgway route, Is one not to D. taken as of only momentary Importance.
 Seattle. although American, Is jealous of her prospects as a trading port of the coast and Is likely to fight hard for the h'lding of a share Of the Upper Yukon basin pat ronage, and that either by the Skagway route or via St. MiehSels. With this a fact, she will make her utmost endeavorS to hold for a through rate from Seattle to Dawson by the White Pass road as well as by the St. MichlelS route, and will probably prefer to throw big share O. whatever long time oIderS she may to the S. Mchaels rou.e for fear Of the fact that should too many shipments come this wIv whatever shade oi revenue might fall to Sk8gwayans in passl1g through this port would probably mitigate against Seattle in building at Skagwav what may in time become a strong wholesale cenier in oppo- sitlon to the Sound metropolis, and a cen ter that would De the kev 10 the lions share of the Upper Yukon trade that will fall to the favor of the Americans.
 lt appears logical thlt the White Pass road would be ln favor. as it in fact has slgnihed It's intention, of giving to Skag- way an even fighting chance for trade SO far as through rates are concerned. as it Is to give to the Sound and British Columbia pllnls the reductions from the customary tariff. This to be, Of course, proportionats ln both ess.s -s s-~-s-as che disassss of the originating terminal points from that of the common destination in the interior. To fact the more wholesale trade the White Pass road can create for merchants Oi. this port. the more it will have anchored st the one ocean terminal of the road. On the other hand wholesale trade b.tween Seattle and Dawson Is likely to reach the interior over the oceln route and ths,efore not come bv the way Of the White Pass. In other words, Seattle Is al the base of the two routes 10 Klondlke, and only one of these lead. to the White Pass road. while Sklgw1y Is at the base of only one route to Dlwson, and that q feeder to the White Pass. The facilities of the White Pass rtute both by rail and h river connexions are better this year than ever. and now Is the time for Sklg- way Co exert her utmost to establish her self as a wholesale base to the Interior.

PROMISE or GREAT WEALTH.

The promise of large deposit of high grade coal In the vicinity of Killisnoo which may develop into producer of commercial importance is one Of the m lst encouraging items of news that has come to the people of this district. If the coal of that immediate field or of some other within an almost equal ra- dious of the moro important and grow ing centers of Southeastern Alaska could now be made saleable. there would be for the discoverer a reward equal to that of some of the best gold mines of the Klondike. The industrial enterprises coming to this region us consequence of the development of the mines and other resources long iatent will nearly all need coal. A high grade coal that can compete with that British Columbia and it appears from government reports that that of Killis- moo may in time, would find consumers iu steamer lines. canneries, smelters, ore reduction mills, manufacturing es- tablishments, that are the prom'se of the future, domestic city use, as fuel for the railway line aud the fleet of steamers on Yukon waters.
 Ths Is the market that invites the miner who can find coal nearby that will stand test of Sn all around first class he ,ting and steaming fuel. It is reward worth striving for, and one that some persistent skirmisher among the upheaved granite hills of Southeastern Alaska is likely to earn at DO far future date.
 Alaska has surprised the world by bringing to light from year to year, wealth in sealeries, fisheries, forests and gold mines, each of which have in themselves long been conceded suffi- eleut to wipe of the slurs ot years ago that fell tJ the name of wm. Seward, and who knows but that tho blac., dt . monds Of her hidden siorehouses may yet gain as great a credit.
