LEADERS.

Some business houses. as we'll as men In other walks of life, are leaders. On the field of battle generals come to the front who are capable of leading great armies; in politics the statesman persuateS and eontrole the votes of the masses; in the professions you find the lawver the phy- sieian. the clergyman, who are in the lead. x. K. Wilson. the druggist Is leader. He keeps at the head of the procession. He renovated and improved a small building until his business entirely outgrew it. He moved temporarily into a larger building but Is now located at the corner of Fifth avenue and State streets in commodiouS and elegant quarters that would be a credit to any city. The frs, thing you See on entering his store Is an up-to date solid oak cigar case with compartment under heath for storing and preserving surplus stock. This case Is filled with one Of the choicest lines of cigars to be found in the city.
 Mr. Wilson is the first druggist in Skag. way to flt up modern drugstore ard he thinks he is justified il doing it because he has faith in the city. 7t8 t

TKE TAX ON wHARvEs.

The list of government taxes upon A. aSka enterprises, and the changes proposed in the three bills introduced in the senate by Senator Perkins of C1liiomil, which was published in the DAILY ALASKAN yesterdav. was read with much interest and created some comment among the people of this city. One point that was par,ic- ularlv discussed was the n-T tax on whaNes. and coming from Senator Perkins. a mau SO largely interested in Alaska ship ing. the change seems inexplieabe.
 lt Is suggested that perhaps the senator has resigned from the hrm of Goodall, Perkins X Co.,. agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, but the recent death Of MT. GoOdah made him Senior member. and so important a resignation would have been published.
