the newspapers calling upon the elop-
ers to come home Christmas and all
would be forgiven. All Christmas night
a lamp was kept burning brightly in
the window of the house on Hinman
avenue. The family felt sure that the
fugitives would return. Their hopes
were disappointed.
AS last resource the parents have
resorted to the chain letter system to
find the absent ones. Here is their
plea for help:
Dear Friend-Wil you kindly help a
heartbroken father and two mothers in an
effort to find their loved ones by writing
three copies of this letter and sending
them, over your own signature, to three
friends. making the same request of them,
and so on forming an endless chain.

weighs from 80 to 100 pounds; face rather
long and very eXpressive; dark brown
hair; large dark brown eyes. with an in
feature: good music teacher; attractive to
children.

eheerfully given for information leading
directly to :be restoration OF either or
both. Printed letters with pictures will

ton TO JAMES c. ROGERS.
113 Human avenue, Evanston, Ill.
In many ways the case is one of the
most puzZling known to the police.
How has a woman so striking in ap-
pearance as Aiiss Ely managed to con
ceal herself end her nephew from the
shrewdest police in the country? Are
they dead? If SO, what has become of
their bodies. Have they left the coun-
try? If so. where did they get the
means for so long Il trip? These prob
lens remain to be solved.

DECK VIEW OF GLOUCESTER FISHERMAN.
captain and cook according TO the size
of the craft On the deck of the vessel
abaft the mainmast are the dories.
These typical New England deep sea
fishing boats look clumsy, but are light
to pull and excellent in a sea way.
They have faring bows and sterns and
are sharp at each end.
In trawl fishing, which is the method
most commonly employed, hand lines
being too slow and tedious. the dories
are used for laying and taking up the
trawl lines. These run from 1,500 to
5000 feet in length, with hooks tied
few feet apart. These lines are kept
coiled in Il Tub and are paid out as the
dory is rowcd along. One end is fas-
tened to keg TO serve as buoy, so
that it may be found again. An anchor
is also attached that it may not drift
away.
When the travis are to be lifted. two
men attend to them. The line is hauled
over the side by one and the fish taken
off. The other rebaits the hooks and
drops them over again. In a rough sea
this operation becomes very dangerous,
for the weight OF the sagging line is
great, and many dories have been
drawn completely under as big swell
struck them.
Every dory carries tin horn for the
purpose Of signaling in case of fog.
The banks are directly in the steamer
track, and when the fog shuts down
some one must keep constantly at the
horn. Too often they are unheard by
the men on the steamships. and the
towering Prov smashes a fishing
schooner or dory to bits and continues
on its way, while the passengers on
board are not conscious that anything
has happened.
One Of the first smacks to be cut
down by steamship was the Glouces
Der schooner Sevo. 1t was run into by
the steamer Huntress in 1889 and sank
ut once. All were lost except the cap
tain and boy. Since then there has
been an appalling record Of similar
catastrophes.
The worst disaster that has happen.
ed to the Gloucester fishing feet in re-
cent years was caused by the great
gale of Aug. "a, 1873, when nine yes
sells and 12S men were lost.

REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS.

If a bil which was introduced in congress De- cember 20 last, passes Alaska will have delegate in congress when the next session opens in December next. Let us be thankful for small favors One delegate for the whole of Alaska i- better than no is better than no bread. The district should be divided into two districts for congressional purposes and each district be given delegate. The interests of the southern and northern portions of this vast territory are identical, in the very nature Of things can they be- In this section mining is our sole industry, and to that largely must look for our prosperity. We may raise reindeer and cattle hereafter but these industries, yet, cannot even be classcd among the infants On the other hand South Alaska has not only mining, but agricultural and timber lands, while the fisheries among the most fore. predominating factor, and the people of that section are familiar with the state of Washing ton, for instance, than with their northern relative
 However, if we cannot have two delegates, let us by all means have one No matter where he comes from or whom he may be, he will be an improvement upon any that we have yet had, inasmuch as he will be the duly elected representative from young and lusty commonwealth destined to become bright star in the galaxy of states.
 Above all we want an Alaskan as representative; a man who is acquainted with the terri .ory; who knows the trials and trbulations which it's people endured and who has shared them. It matters H,lr, mind what section of Alaska the delegate shall come from, long he is cvel-heaicd man, who will work honestly and conscenliously for the hest interests of the entire district.

CUR MAIL SERVICE ONCE MORE.

We do not know whether the Unit -d States gov ernmcnt has slulii,d itself hy letting another mail contract by way of the Yukon river route. No one knows in Nome. The rostohice department called for bids for this service, which were to be submitted resentations made to the department that would prevent hasty action in awarding the contract.
 Experience has shown every resident of this sec. ton of Alaska that to bring mails to Nome by way of Skagway and the Yukon river is tantanount to being assured the most miserable mail service witt, which any portion of the Omitted States ever cursed. Besides, there is now no remaining excuse for bringing mails to Northwestern Alaska partially through d foreign country. The time has arrived when we should have an all-American mail route We believe it to be an impossihl'ty for the govern melt to furnish satisfactory service by way of the Yukon river. The distance is great, and no con- tractor who has assumed the task of transporting the mails, seems to have had either the financial backing or the necessary knowledge to enable him in any way live up 10 the conditions and qurements of his contract The mail service, therefore, has been monumental failure Its utter inthicency cannot be eondemded too strongly. Its contractors and sub contractors stlfconess frauds, whose only de- sire it would seem is to obtain something for nothing
 Nearly five months have elapsed since navigation closed. We have received four apologies for mail. The last received weighed nineysix ounces the others very little We are patient people perhaps because have to he. But even with an Alaskan, patience sometimes ceases to be virtue. We protest however knowing that ill all probability we must protest in vain.

We do not like to be continually finding fault with that weakling called the Alaska Code, because 1t has no friends. Nevertheless the sooner it is picked to pieces the will we have better, We hope, in its place and stead. This Code makes no provision for advertising personal goods and cha,,e- which may have been seized hy virtue of writ of execution. The Code simply provides that notice shall be posted on the building where such seizure has been made for ten days prior to the day of sale. This means that the notice may be posted the roof of the building, for instance. and no save the party most in interest, the creditor, be any the wiser of the fact.
