Activity at Kenai.

Kenai, May 3-Spring has al last made itself known, and where "Old Sol" has been strong enough to thaw the snow young blades ol grass are 'percep,ible, s. it will not be long now before our tables can be adorned by fresh boquet oI flowers every morning.
 The Kussiloff and Kenai can- neries' boats and ships have all ar- rived, been unloaded and lowed apay to their summer anchorage. The piledrivers have started in to build the traps for ensnaring of the unwary salmon, and in fact this vicinity is getting such a move on lately that it looks as if there will be something doing this sum- mer.
 NIT. Nielsen, the superintendent of the Agricultural station has just received two new oxen, but they were in such bad condition when they arrived owing to the rough passage on the bark Harvester, that it seems doubtful if but one of them will live. The Russian Priest has kindly given Mir. Nielsen the use of his large bull to work with one of the other oxen, so no doubt Nielsen and his new assistant P. H. Ross, from Kansas, will have their hands full for q while.
 Mir. J. F. Riley, of San Francisco, accompanied by A. E. Heggland, of Colorado, arrived on the last boat. Mir. Riley has come to take charge of tine works of the Kcnai Lake Mg. Co. on upper Kenai river, and hopes to come down in the fal, with their boat pretty we'll loaded with the yellow metal.
 Mir. c. c. Acton and MT. Woods, who arrived on the April Santa Ana, on their way to Kus.iloff Lake in the interests of the N. w. Mg. & Dev. Co. have reached their
 
 destination, and have quite q crew of men and expect quite force to arrive with Mir. J. D. Cornforth, who is expected on the next boat.
 The spring stock for MT. Weather bees stores at Kenai and Kussiloff arrived on the ship Centennial, and never was such complete stock of everything ever seen in this Inlet before.

Inspector of Immigration.

Secretary Shaw, of the treasury department, has appointed Kazis Krauczunas, of New York, as in- spect"r of immigration to be sta tiOned in Alaska. Heretofore no immigration officers have been de- tailed to Alaska, but the new land law and the exploitation of mining and other industries in the terri tory has caused a considerable in- Aux of aliens into the country.
 The new inspector will confer with Collector Jarvis, at Sitka, and will then take up his regular sta tiOn either there or at some place in Alaska, where his services seem to be most required.
 Krauczunas is a Lithuanian by birth. but is a naturalized Ameri- can citizen, and is said to be we'll adapted for work in the immigra- ton service. He was formerly a first sergeant in an artillery regi- ment in the regular army.
 The appointment of an immigra- tiOn officer for Alaska is one of the results of the visit to Washington, D. O., six weeks ago, of Capt. Jar wis, collector of customs for the dis trict, with headquarters at Sitka.
 Ever since he accepted the posi- ton the collector has seen the need of such an officer in the north. Aliens from every part of the world have been flocking to one or other of the various districts, and many of them, an undesirable class, later have found their way into the United States.
 When the district was first open ed up five years ago large num- Der of British Columbia Chinese flocked into it, and while it is not believed that many have found their way into the United States since, some may have done so.
 It'is very probable'th that the new agent will have his headquarters at Sitka, but very little of thes summer season will be spent, there. He will have the entire district to cov- CT, which will occupy his time fully during open navigation. In the winter time it is more than prob able he will be located at Sitka, al- though none of the details of the new office have been decided upon.

Letter from Gurnee.

EDITOR OF PRospEToR:-Refer. ring to the article appearing in the P.-l~ attacking Gen. Distin's official administration of his office, I will say that l have refrained from pub licly noticing this malicious affair heretofore, for the reason that no attention thus far has been given 1t by the authorities of Washington, D. C., but as the infamous attack originated here, l will say that a rank injustice has been done an honorable and efficient official, who conducts the affairs of his office in q business like manner. Gen. Dis tin is competent and capable of- ficial, a man of high sense of honor. who strives to do all in his power to conserve the people that is com patible with the best interests of the public service. He has fine repu- tation for fair dealing, courteous, and ever willing after office hours to reopen his office nights, Sundays and holidays, when steamers ar rive at such times, to accommodate and serve the public on such occa- sions. He is the recipient of many unsolicited letters and affidavits from citizens of Alaska everywhere, who have transacted business with his office, who are loud in their praise and commendation of his official acts, and denouncing in the strongest terms his traducer.
 The facts are, the surveys referred to were matter of private business between Gen. Di-tin's son, myself and the claimants: the General or the Surveyor Generals office had nothing to do with the matter what ever, it being special work. And for the character of the service the charges were not excessive, and are the same as attorneys in general throughout the District charge for this class of work. The amount reported is in excess of what was received.
 The charges of favoritism to the of others are false. L have often thought that the Sur veyor General was too cautious in this regard. As a matter of fact he was very strict in making Us com ply with official details. The re- cords of his office will show that no laxity of administration is permit ted, and the accusation of favorit- ism is without foundation. The general concensus of opinion I find everywhere is that General Distin has shown marked ability in his official capacity in the administra- ton of his office.

CAME TO MEET
 HER PROMISED HUSBAND

The arrival of Miss Lillian Clark from Tillsonburg, Ontario, mentioned in Tuesdays INDEPENDENT, was an item of more significance and import, than could be supposed from the few lines which told of her visit, for upon Tuesday evening at S:15 o'clock at the rectory, she was married to Mr. Wm c. Farmer of this city by Rev. Geo. D. Norton.
 The groom was formerly of Than esville, Ontario, but left Canada over three years ago and has for the past year and half been the bread fore man at Huffman's bakery. The newly wed were to have been married year ago, but sickness of the young lady's father caused postpone ment.
 They will go to house keeping at the corner of Fourth and Ash streets and the INDEPENDENT together with many friends the groom has made here, extend congratulations and best wishes for long lifes of happiness.

LEAGUE
 OFFERS PROTEST

At meeting of the Newport Busi- ness Mems League held at the city hall Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock, called for the purpose of making a protest against the passage of the Keel anti trust bill, resolution was introduced and adopted, expressing the sentiment of the members present and requesting the senator from this district, Hon. J. J. Mardis to use his influence for the defeat of the pro- posed measure, a copy of the same being mailed to that gentleman, signed by the officers of the league.
 Following is the resolution verb atim:
 "Whereas there has passed the House of Representative bill styled all antitrust bill which provides among other things that no foreign Insurance Companies shall do business in this State who are members of any rating board in any foreign state or territory.
 And, Whereas we believe that the enactment of this law will drive all foreign insurance companies from this state and we will be practically without protection from fire,
 Therefore, Be It Resolved, that we earnestly protest against the enact ment thereof and respectfully request you to use your influence and best eff forts to defeat the passage of said bill or to secure an amendment thereof so as to eliminate said Insurance Com panies from the provisions thereof.''

CRIPPLES NOT EXEMPT.

Attorney General Murphy holds that cripples are not exempt from street or road duty in cities or towns, as the law makes no exception in its requirements on behalf of any male person between the ages of IS and 45 He says: "The general road law ex- empts persons who are physically un able to work, but it does not apply to the working of the streets of cities or towns, unless it is declared in the or dinance," which the cities and towns are empowered to pass, providing that money may be paid in lieu of the performance of the work He has also decided that there is no provision in the law to authorize school direct ors to expend school funds for the in surance of school property.

know what sight her hair isv In short,
it's been found the fitting crown for all
womankind, wherever she's pitched her
tent for the summer. She who fits to
mountain or shore may carry along
dozen such bonnets of varying degrees:
of smartness. She who stays behind
finds them just as necessary to complete
her conquests at home. And if she
scorns them, laughs at the idea, isn't
that kind of girl" just take my advice
avoid her. There's something radical
" wrong with girl who doesn't
want a ''PhyllisY sunbonnet.
A Killed skirt of summer-weight tweed,
or cheviot in grey, tan or blue, or one
of the seasons pretty invisible plaids,
made with half-ftted Norfolk jacket
to match, is the. correct dress in which
to travel, and the skirt will answer for
morning wear with cotton shirt-waists,
says the ssWoman's Home Companion"
These latter should be severely plain,
and if they have clerical or Ascot stocks
made of the same material, and worn
without sign of a stick-pin, clasp or
buckle, your dress will be faultless in
style. A waist of blue and white striped
silk is more comfortable to wear when
travelling than Numbered waist of linen
or cotton, and can be got up as the
English have it, for the return trip, even
in the fastenesses of an Adirondack camp
where no Cinnamon are.
A pair Of dress ties, with patent leather
vamps, and a pair of Turkish bedroom
slippers with the heavier leather boots or
ties in which you travel, will be all the
shoes you need.
