LOOKING FOR BUSINESS.
Steamship Companies Are Now
Making Yearly Contracts.

November is the month that Alaska
steamship companies make freight con
tracts for the following year, and just
at present representatives of the diff
ferent companies are blu y procuring
business.
Seattle representatives of the com
panss are expected to arrive in Skag
way to see that their company secures
their share of the freight.
Auditor Baldwin, of the Pacific Coast
company, was here last week. C. f.
Peaboy, president Of the Alaska Steam
ship company, and j.. Stewart. of the
Washington and Alaska company, are
expected to arrive in the near future.

ASK FOR 1T.

While there is little probability that
congress will have much time to give
to Alaska during the present winter, II
is possible that an united effort would
secure to the municipalities all the
license tax collected within their bor-
ders. Nome has already sent delegates
TO Washington to endeayor 10 secure
this boon. Senator Mason has prom
ised his assistance, and other senators
and congressman would willingly rem
der what aid they could. Since so
much has been said on the question
during the time that has elapsed since
the passage of the Alaskan code, 1t Is
not unlikely that congress might per-
NIT an amendment TO some OF the APP
preparation bills that would grant this
relief to Alaskan civies At any rate
it Is worth trying for.
II this could be gained it would mean
So. 900 or more to the four Alaska
municipalities OF Skagway, Juneau,
Ketchikan and Nome The right OF the
people of these cities to this money Is
80 apparent that il the facts could be
placed before congressman 10 their
true light there seems no reason why
it would not be granted without quest
lion.
1t would be well for the three cities
of southeastern Alaska to take such
action as would strengthen the hands
Of the Nome delegation to Washing
ton. The city councils OF Skagway,
Juneau and Ketchkan and the cham
bers Of commerce .of the three cities
could at least pass strong memorials
setting forth the facts and praying for
the remedies. These could be printed
and sent TO each senator and repre-
sentative Some of them would take 1t
up, and they would then have sufficient
data at hand to back them up in the
fight.

THE COMING SESSION.

The second session Of tie Fitty-sixth
congress will convene at Washington one
week from next Monday. While there will
not be so much time lost in getting down
to business as is always the case at the
first session of congress, there is not likely
to be much business done until after the
HOLIDAYS. The house is fully organized,
The speaker, secretaries, clerks and COM
mittees have been chosen and are in work.
ing or Ter, and the calendar Of the long
session will be taken up where it was lett
last June.
However, the attendance is never large
until after the holiday recess The time
is usually spent in frequent conferences of
party leaders and the daily sessions are
short. The appropriation bills and other
matters Of national importance always oc-
cupy so much attention during the short
session that new legislation. inaugurated
during the session, seldom materlalizes.
The entire session is usually consumed
with routine matters.
Il is generally expected, however, that
the administrations plans for disposing of
the Philippine question will be disclosed
during the coming winter. There will be
little change in any of the executive de-
partments or the legislative branch OF the
government during the next few wears, so
there seems no good reason WHY time
should not be gained by legislatng on this
much moot.d subject this winter. If it be
postponed for the next congress it will be
impossible TO get the legislation adopted
for a year and half and then congress
will be confronted with another election.

There is every indication of another
permanent deadlock in the Nebrasks
legislature. There is a war to the
bitter end On between Edward Rose
water. editor of the Omaha Bee, and
Senator 1hurston, and if the repub
licans get the legislature it will be by
such close margin that they will have
no votes TO spare. It will require the
united party to elect a senator.

NO MAIL FOR A WEEK
Cottage City Was the Last Mail Boat

rived from below at SkagWav. The last
mail steamer to arrive was the Cottage

days overdue and the Dolphin is due to-
dav, Both will have mail. 1t is thought
that the north winds which have prevailed
down the coast have caused the delay Of
the Topeka. Next week will probably be
better. The AIki, Farallon and Diriga are
all scheduled to arrive during the week.
The City OF Seattle will soon commence
the run again, and thus add another mail

plentiful In the debate In the Chamb Der OF

forward last month TO reform the munic-
ipal laws 10 an extent which would per-
init foreigners TO vote In municipal cleo
lions under certain conditions ooucsrn-
ing residence and other Qualifications.
One prominent member OF the Chamber
stated during the discussion that be
would oppose this reform ON the grounds
that Chill was fer the Chilians and that
no outside influences was wanted IN local
affairs. This attitude Of the Chilians Is
distinctly sdverse to the true interests OF
the republic, foreign blood reins badly
needed among the population and fresh
capital being absolutely necessary to de-
velop the natural resources OF the coun-
try. Until Chill comes into CLOSE contact
with the rest of the world by means OF
the construction Of trans-continentai rail-
ways there 10 small hope that the narrow
minded ideas expressed In the Chamber
win be modified.

There was curious hearing before
Judge Peabody OF the PROBATE court,
Tuesday. Last summer George II. Colby
Of Portland died and about four months
ago. A,bro <. Chase OF Portland was sp-
pointed administrator of his estate. The
process OF administration proceeded
smoothly until quite recently whom. In
running through some old papers OF the
deceased, q will was found in bunch OF
cancelled bills. 1t was dated years ago
and left his estate to his wife and son,
now both deceased.
1t had never been revoked and was ac-
oordingly presented for probate by MI.
Chase Josiah Drummond. Jr appeared
to Oppose the probate Of ths will on the
ground that 1t was now imperative by
action OF law, Its legatees being deceased.
SO far ss the dispos' Of the estate is
concerned the will would operate similsr-
iy to letters Of administration and the
chief interest therefore IL merely In q

served Judgment.

TO WASH OUTING GARMENTS.

Flannel outing garments and under
wear require very careful washing to
keep them from shrinking; shrinking is
caused by the ints rlacing OF the wool
dbl es hence 1t Is desirable to keep the
material we'll stretched out to prevent
this. A washtoard should not be used,
nor should any fosp be ever rubbed on.
1t IL best to use Gold Dust Washing
Powder; dissolve enough In hot water to
make good suds, and wash quickly by
repeatedly immsrsing In the suds, aud
drawing through tbs hands. Flannsls
must be washed In half warm water-not
hot or cold. Wiring. stretch into shape.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A THIN DISGUISE.

The cutie fish has a tricky habit of
covering his tracks by exuding an inky
fluid which discolors the water and keeps
him out Of view. There's good deal Of
the cutie fish about some advertise
ments, notably those purporting to offer
medical advice by woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer of doctors adj
vice is really made. And all the clsmor
about writing to a woman is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that doctors advice 10 not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
is not of writing to sponidH or a man
but of writing to doctor,
For the advice OF an unqualified
woman Is just as dangerous as the
advice OF an unqualified man.
Every day adds to the number of worm
ell who take advantage of DIR. Pierce's
genuine offer of a consultation by letter
free of cost. As chief consulting physi-
clan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y, DIR. r. ".
Pierce has, in practice Of over thirty
years, treated more than half-a-million
women for female troubles with the re-
markable record of ninety eight per
cent. Of cures. Sick women are invited
to consult DIR. Pierce by letter, without
fear and without fee. Every letter is
held as strictly private and sacredly con-
fdential and all answers are mailed
sealed in plain envelopes without print
