MUST FIND ANOTHER ONE

According to government figures the increase in the volume of Alaskan busi- ness this year over any previous year continues. May, like the months of the present year which preceded 1t, showed a marked improvement: in the volume of goods shipped from the Sound to the north. At the same time, the output of the Klondike, the Atltu dis trict and the Panama is showing a won deriul gain this year.
 B Gov. Brady and the other tories will have to find some other argument than the story of the retrogression of Alaska with which to combat the Alaskan de- mAnd for the American principle of sslf-goyernment. That contention, aP- bearing for the first time iu the report of Gov. Brady last year, might have had some influence at the last session of congress, but it can avail nothing at the next.
 However, 1t is safe to say, it he be permitted to write another report as governor, Brady will find some other tune to play that will serve his purpose until it has been exploded.

A few years ago it took from thirty days

ocean less than FIVE days, Europe is near
