JACKSON THNKSi PEOPLE
 HAVE MISJUDGED
President of Alaska Geographical Society Says He Only Wanted To Assist In
 Worlds Fair Work At St. Louis

1t was taken to London, and for five months, from July to December, t oc- cupied space in the Crystal palace at the great English capital.
 "All these exhibitions cost the peo- pie of Alaska was sl4s, subscribed by the people of skagway. A subscrip- tion list was circulated at Juneau and some money was subscribed, but no attempt was made to collectthe money.
 "The people of Alaska have certainly secured a great deal good from all this. It has certainly done Alaska DO harm, and 1t has cost relatively nothing"
 Mir. Jackson has letters from promi- net Alaskans and others interested, who have heard his lectures at these exhibitions and who have seen the eS- hibition, who state that they were ex-
 
 cellent. E. c. Hawkins, formerly gem eral manager of the w. P. & Y. R, wrote that he regarded the Alaskan exhibit as one of the most attractive features of the Buffalo exhibition.
 In addition to his work in connection with the exhibitions of the last few years, under the auspices of the Alaska Geographical Society, Mir. Jackson has delivered many lectures throughout the United States and Europe. Many of these lectures were given last win ter under the direction of the board of education of New York city, and as a testimonial of their Appreciation, the same board has made arrangements for several more to be given next winter.
 Mir. Jackson ilelps that it was be- cause of this has been doing in connection With 1isska, that he be- lieved he could be of service to the dis trict in connection with the worlds fair. He says that he realized, as the appropriation was not made until Feb ruary. that the conditions required that work should be begun immediately, and for that reason he desired to get to work.
 Mir. Jackson came north particularly to get additional data for his lectures. He goes to whitehOrse today, and will spend several days in Skagway on his return.

Arthur c. Jackson, president of the Alaska Geographical Society, whose home, according to his card, Is Juneau, Alaska, thinks that some of the people of Alaska have judged him harshly and have shown ingratitude toward the Alaska Geographical Society for what the latter has done for Alaska. Mir. Jackson says he never desired to be placed at the head of the Alaskan com mission to manage the exhibit at the worlds fair, and only sought connec- tlion,wlth that commission because of the fact that he felt that he could be of great service to the district of Alaska, on account of his wide experience in connection with expositions.
 Mir. Jackson first became connected with exposition work in 1876, at the Philadelphia worlds fair, and he has devoted much. lime to 1t ever since then. Mir. Jackson claims that 1t was largely through his efforts that the ap- propriation of s5OOOO was made for an  Alaskan eShlb, to the worlds fair.
 Mir. Jackson, who arrived on the City of Seattle last night, in speaking of the matter snid:
 "It was suggested to me that l could be of use to Alaska in connection with it's exhibit to the worlds fair by the fact that the Alaskan exhibit that l had assembled at the Buffalo Pan American exhibition, consisting of more than 5000 pieces, was such sue cess. More than 5OO,oOO persons visit ed the exhibit at Buffalo, and more than lSO, 900 paid 10 cents to hear the Illustrated lecture that was given on Alaska at that place. These lectures and this admission charge were for the purpose of raising revenues for the ex- penses in connection with the exhibi- tion. It was with the readily given consent of the managers of the exhibi- tion.
 ,From Buffalo this exhibit was taken to Charleston and 1t was maintained there for another five months, and proved as wonderfully successful there as 1t did at Buffalo, From Charleston

Transportation Men Believe End of Season Will Find Whitehorse Warehouses
 Empty-Scows Extensively Used

|; s admitted that the steamers of the river division of the W. P. & Y. R. cannot handle all the freight on hand and in sight, but scows are being built as fast as carpenters can turn them out. Every day sees two brand new seows built, and from two to four Of these are sent down with each of the steamers, in addition to the eargOes of'the latter. This process will continue to the end of the season.
 It Is believed that the big warehouses at whitehorse win be cleared of freight as completely this year $ was the case last year, when less than 50 tons was left at whitehorse at the close Of nav igatiOu.

Every pound Of the Dawson bound frcigh, over the W. P. X Y. R. win reach its destination before the close of navigation should that event be as late in coming this year as it was last year. That Is the opinion Of those whose task Is Co get the freight down the Yukon river. 40 any rate, those at the head of the B. Y. x. Co. as well as the rail- road o1ccrs are bending every effort to that end. and they will accomplish that end ii it is within the possibilities.
 Dr. Scharschmidt, Ot the B. Y. N. Co. Is in Skagway, and his opinion is that an the freight will be delivered this year, notwithstanding that more Is being received than was ever before the case.

CONSCIENCE TROUBLES
CONVERT TO DOWIEISM

For nVe years tramp, but now a
follower of Alexander Dowie and a resi-
dent of Zion City, J. o. Evans is try
lngs before he became converted to H..
new faith His conscience has smitte1
him to such an extent that he has for
warded to Thomas E. Blanche, general
agent for the Northern Pacific railroad,
81, which sum he figures will reimburse
the company for rides stolen on it's
trains during the time he was a knight
of the road.
The letter containing a postal order
for the amount is. dated at Zion (it,,
ILL.,, Sept. II, is signed by Evans, and
is as follows:
"Please find enclosed 81 postal order
for rides. over the Northern Pacific
abroad which ~ stole while. I. was
.tramping. 0 8 3 : II IT.
II was ga tramp for: five years, and
now I am a Christian and living in
Zion City, happy and contented.
Hoping yeuu will please favor me
with an acknowledgment, and May God
Bless you, Mr.. Blanche.'
One railroad man argues that 81 is
hardly the proportion the Northern
Pacific should receive. He figures that
a tramp will average ten miles a day
on railroads and if Evans had been a
Wandering Willie for five years he
would have Travelled at least 1920
miles. At three cents mile this would
amount to nearly $3.50.

lowing interview by a prominent labor
man in the Virginian last week:
The efforts of the retail clerks for
the early closing of stores should be
supported by every loyal citizen of Vir-
ginla. They do not ask for anything
unreasonable. 1t is indeed a reduction
in the hours of labor that will be Of
more benefit to the employers than I
fear some of them appreciate. The
practice of making purchases late in
the evening is largely habit with the
general public, and when they once
get out of it they will find it. as con-
venient to do their trading earlier. The
early closing of stores will be: matter
of economy to the merchants. 1t will
save in light, fuel and other incidentals.
1t will give the clerks more. time for
rest and recreation, and thus make
them more valuable to their employers
Oh the following day. A drowsy clerk
man. It will give to the merchants
themselves more time to. spend with
their families. All Of this, will be with
out the sacrifice Of one dollars worth
of business, because. the people will buy
just as much under early closing as
they would if the doors were kept open
late. I sincerely trust that the people
Of Virginia will make the cause Of the
clerks, their cause as WE'LL Virginia
should be as;netrop pol tan in practice

Trade Is Dull at Present, but Future
Looks Bright.
The Plasterers union held a regular
meeting last Monday evening. There
was fairly good attendance, and trade
was reported as being very dull just
at present, but every thing indicated
that there was good prospects in sight.
Joe La Fortune. a former member Of the
union was re-instated.
Samuel Maghan, vice-president of the
union served as a member of the Grand
Jury last week.
Edward Perrott, the former secretary
Of the union is employed at Grafton,
North Dakota. He is foreman of the
new Insane Hospital there, which is
now in the course Of construction. His
family still resides in Duluth, so his
friends can rest assured that he will
return when the building season is
over.
of the union is engaged at Cass Lake.
A. G. Mathews, the former president
Of the union who left Duluth to take
up timber claim in Oregon has
decided to locate in Seattle. His fam
lily is already there.
President Richard Callahan of the
plasterers union is acting as foreman
for Contractor John Grandy on the new
brick building now being erected on
West First street near the Bridgeman
and Russell building.
It was unfortunate that the plasterers
did not have an opportunity to show
their new uniform on Labor Day. It
consisted Of white duck pants, white
dress shirts, white caps and gloves and
yellow belts. A red carnation was to
be pinned to each bosom. Would not
uniformed SUI CHI as that captured first
