for wears to come.

Tor years To come.
There are great forests of timber
throughout a large part of the dis
trict that can be used for lumber
and fuel.
The fishing industry is the only
one in this great section of Alaska
that has been in any way developed.
For many years this section has
yielded millions of cases each sea-
son OF the best salmon in the
world Last year the pack in the
Third District was 1,240,000 cases,
worth 81, 2S5,000. The salmon put
up in barrels and the sailed cod
would easily raise the value to
over $5,000.0OO worth of fish ex-
ported from this section. Besides
this there are tons and tons of dried
fish used for dog feed and the
natives also put up enough for
their own use. The industry is
growing, new canneries and salteries
are being started each year.
Transportation along the south
ern coast of this district where the
most OF Its inhabitants now live, is
good and is open the entire year.
A railroad will be built in the near
future, through the richest section
OF the country and will greatly aid
in the development OF, its industries.
Mail facilities are fairly good,
there Being two to four mails
month in the southern part and
two mails a month in the northern
part of the district.
We have in this great district
everything necessary for "a state
except the population. 1t is esti-
mated that there are about $1,000
people at the present time, but if
the population increases in the flu
ture as is expected and as it has in
the past year, it is only matter
OF two or three years until there
will be population enough for a
state. Alaska is too large for one
state or territory. If the people OF
southeastern Alaska want territor-
ial government, they should have
it. The people of Nome or the Sec
Ond district are so far away tfat
we do not know what they want,
but they can settle that for them
selves. But rs for this district, we
do not believe its people want to
be burdened with a territory at the
present, or at any time, but when
the proper time comes we believe
that they should and will demand
of Congress to be admitted as a
state.

EARLY MORNING MARKET
SCENES.
Covent Garden is the chief wholesale
market OF It's Kind for all London. The
best time to see 1t Is shortly after day
break | left my rooms about o'clock
a. m. last Saturday and walked down
TO them, All the streets surrounding
the market houses proper were filled
with carts and wagons loaded with
vegetables, Imagine the largest hay
wagon you have ever seen piled high
with green cabbagcs, so that the load
Is taller and broader than any load Of
sheaves ever brought in from the wheat
tlelds. The cabbages are laid In regu-
lar rows, and there are thousands Of
heads Of cabbage to the load
Then there were great loads Of pink
radishes, each rad'sh no larger than a
pigeons egg, piled up the same way,
so carefully that they formed mighty
cubes OF pink balls. There were vast
loads OF spinach and carrots, onions
and potatoes, and all sorts Of green
sun, from water croas to asparagus.
AMERICAN FRUIT IN DEMAND.
There was a great display of fruit In
baskets and In crates, There were
oranges from California, and apples
from Virginia and also from New York
and Oregon, Many Of the apple boxes
were marked Tasmania and some South
Australia, the latter having been
brought here on a forty days. trip In
cold storage ships. There were hot
house grapes, peaches and strawber-
ries, The strawberries sold at Is cents
a basket, and | was offered peaches at
50 cents a piece. The peaches were
larger than any | have ever seen I'm
the United States. They are raised
under glass and are sold from boxes
OF soft white cotton, being handled as
carefully as new babies.

Among the curious things sold arc
green gooseberries and rhubarb. This
Is the only place ! know where they
call rhubarb fruit. Rhubarb and
gooseberry tarts are served everywhere
and my teeth are still on edge from
trying to masticate the so-caled green
gOOscberry tart The berries are larger
than ours, but 50 sour that they turn

FLOWERS FOR MILLIONS.
Leaving the vegetable market went
TO the buildings adjoining where flow
ers are sold. / cannot describe the
blaze OF color and beauty which greeted
me az | entered The great building,
as large az one OF our biggest depots,
WAS flied with blossoms OF every de-
sCripion from the hothOuses of Eng
land and the continent. There were
carloads Of beautiful roses. vast guam
titles OF Gala lilies coruhowers as blue
as the blue OF our flag and masses OF
flowers OF every tint. The English are
fond OF flowers on their tables and at
dinner and luncheon every well-to-do
family has It's bouquet to look at |
regret to say that many OF the hotels
make n better display Of flowers than
Of food.
FRUIT AUCTIONS.
a little later In the day there Is a
great retail market at Coyent Garden.
There are also fruit auctions, where
fruit OF all kinds is sold IN large quan.
titles and where many Of the local deal
ers come TO buy. The business is
enormous, the sales OF single day run
ming into tens Of thousands of pounds.
! have talked with some Of the mer-
chants They tell me that the Lon
don market is supplied with apples by
America during the winter and that our
apples bring the best prices, California
fruit of all kinds Is in demand, and the

Bingham Will Receive 5000
Collecting Insurance

It cost the state Of Oregon $9O3.25
special attorneys fees to adjust the
suits against the several insurance
companies for damages resulting from
the fire at the reform school last win
ter A Portland paper has the follow
ing on the subject:
"The state will receive, in reality,
only $S12925 insurance money on ac-
count Of the reform school fire, under
the terms Of the compromise sub
scribed to by the state officials and
insurance company representatives.
The claim of G.. c. Bingham for legal
services in conducting the cases for
the state will amount to s903.25, a
contract having been entered into by
which he should receive contingent
fee Of 10 per cent. of the amount re
covered
Shortly after the fire which de.
stroyed the Industrial building at the
reform school, Attorney-General ID. r.
N. Blackburn submitted an opinion to
the state board, in which he held that
It was doubtful If the state could re
cover any part of the insurance. Sub
sequently, @. @. Bingham, an attorney
of this city, offered to take the case
on contingent fee of 10 per cent OF
the amount received, no fee to be re
celved II the suit failed. The con
tract covering these conditions was
framed and the papers were prepared
and served The members of the
board feel that, in view Of the fact
that the state legal adviser had
passed an opinion that the states
claims for damages probably could
not be collected, that settlement Of the
case under the contract Of a 10 pei
cent contingency fee was a reasonable
proposition. While Attorney-General
Blackburn and District Attorney A. N
Hart signed the stipulation by which
the pending suits were compromised
Mr. Bingham actively represented the
state In the litigation until the time
Of It's mutual adjustment. At the time
the suits were brought against the In
surance companies, Attorney-Genera
Blackburn was incapacitated from the
performance of official duties by III
ness and the proposition of Mr.. Bing
