WILL HELP ALASKA

It is unoficialy announced tha. q, the next meeting, the Chamber oi Commerce will invite the Committed Cn Rivers and Harbors oi the House oi Representative to visit Skagwav dur ing its Western visit in the latter par oi May. It will be a move in he r'ght direction. and there is more tl' Il 1 chance that the committee will lYoll itself oi the invitation.
 Alaska has contributed million; ITO the national treatury, and, as Sam Durham said in one oi his recent poems, For what" The proyisio Is to protect navigation along the .rt':ie route are but meager, and unless he proper authorities are educated as % the districts needs in this partic'1lr there is little prospect oi betterins hc condition.
 On the lighthouse question the Sc attle Post-Inteligencer recently had the following editorial
 Between the cities of Puget sonra and the ports oi Southeastern Alaska there is one oi the safest and m p,t beautiful waterways in the world The whole distance can be travelled procti- cally in sheltered water, save at tno crossing of the mouths oi some ,i tho great bays and sounds. The -r,o h., been made in little skin canoes, ln pw boats, in soops and in water craft ai every name and variety, without acc dent or danger. Under parallel n- ditions there IS no portion oi the rout. between Seattle and the port, O. Southeastern Alaska which Is not a. safe for steam vessels or any ofhC: craft as Chesapeake bay or Long Is- land sound. Even in the depths piN.n- ter there is no portion of the waters along the Atlantic seaboard whi>h an te traversed with so little actual dan ger.
 Yet the number of vessels which have been lost while plying b,t Tccn the ports oi Puget sound and those oi Southeastern Alaska has been 50 great than the underwriters feel justified in raising insurance rates to such an eD- normally high point as IS per cent. Ire sole reason for this is the slowne-i ut the government in making proper pro vision oi safeguards to nayig ..i2u ir these waters.

VISIT OF THE ELKS

The proposed plan of inviting tho Elks oi Washington and Oregon tc visit Skagway is a good one. The are members of a pleasure-lov;cg or der, and as rule are jovi1', good natured set of fellows, and thec C cur sions-which occur quite frequently are always remembered by the towns which they frequent and along the lin"l upon which they ride.
 Perhaps 500 of them will come, anc i! they are properly entertained here and there is no doubt on that score they will return to their homes wi:t pleasant recollections of Skagway ;nC its people. Some of them. ,f curse have been in Alaska, but the rank anC file of them will not know the differ ence between a sled and parka. Whii, here they will learn considerable con corning Dawson and its prospe IS, ;nC when they go back to the States the, will give Skagway advertising tha thousands of dollars could not buy While here they will spend Ill the tasi they will bring with them, ani [ l'ci

It is proposed to employ q com. potent and energetic manager for the bureau, whose business it shall be to visit the cities and towns in the Northwest and British Columbia here the patrons oi Seattle's jobbing licr ses reside, and to inquire into the 'casons for delays in the delivery oi freight and to remedy such matters The | dnas- CTS of the bureau will also be xpccted to make regular reports regarding the trade oi rival cities in competitive ter iitory, and to generally look u, for the jobbirg and wholesale bu;'n:sS oi Seattle.
 As far as Skagway is conccrn-d il is not interested in the movement. Et';m- CTS arrive here almost daily, making fast time, and there IS no trouble at all at this end in the receiving ot m-r chandise. II is usually on time and not infrequently ahead of time.
