A FALLACIOUS ARGUMENT.

Judge Wickersham asserts that owing to her "ex- tensive area, unsettled communities and widely diversified groups of conflicting interests it is better for the whole of Alaska to depend upon the superior legislative assembly to enact or amend her laws" Is will puzzle Judge Wickersham or any ore else to point out where the widely diversified groups of con- Aicting interests to be found in Alaska The fish cries constitute adistnct and separate interest and cover the entire extent of her mainland and island coasts and all legslation required by that interest must necessarily be general in character.

trade has become more quiet with the
advancing season, and at many points
the weather is not calculated to main
tain buying of wearing apparel at re-
tail. Gross earnings of the railways

Bank failures in the Pittsburg region
have added to the unsettled condition

Failures this week numbered 279 in
the United States, compared with 239
last year, and in Canada 26 against %
a year ago."
As Seen by Bradstreet.
Bradstreet's says: 1.-THE weeks de-
velopments have favored an increase
in the conservatism which has ruled in
many lines for some time. Buying is
not so confident, and smaller quantf-
ties are taken than year ago at this
time. Actual needs, which, after all,
are large, and not speculative feeling
dominates demand. Good and poor
reports combine to give an appear
ance of irregularity to general trade
as a whole. Railway gross earnings
are more moderate than earlier in the
year, but still reflect good gains in the
volume of traffic over year ago. Car
shortages are not complained of much
outside the lumber trade. Seasonal
shutdowns of outside work on railroad
improvements, suspensions of iron
furnaces and copper, coal and iron ore
mines have rendered many thousands
of persons idle. On the other hand.
the long standing curtailment of cot
ton mills is becoming thing of the
past, and some shutdown steel mills
have resumed. The grocery trade is
apparently active the country over,
with coffees showing most price
strength. The shoe trade, too, is ac-
tive, though mild weather curtails de-
mand in some sections. Colder weather
is needed to stimulate retail demand
for drygoods and heavy clothing. Hol-
iday goods are opening well, and the
outlook is regarded as favorable for
this line"
