OUT AGAIN W. P. & Y. R. Will Not Get
 Army Contract

Although the lowest bidder for freight and passengers for the govern ment from Puget sound to Fort Egbert, the W. P. $ Y. R. will get no army contracts this year, though emergency shipments might be made this way.
 A recent Washington dispatch says that while contracts have not been let the ouartermaster general has about made up his mind as to the merits ot the respective bids. The buiA Of she transportation to St. Michael and Yu- kon river points will be awarded to O. J. Humphrey, who held this contract last year. The Pacific Coast Company will carry the troops and supplies to Fort William H. SewardI (Haines mis- sion) and it's Southeastern Alaska points, and the Fort Liscum transpor- tatiou will be awarded to the interests represented by E. E Caine.
 The Nome Fort Davis) business will undoubtedly be given to the Northwest ern Commercial Company, the only bidder for the transportation of troops and supplies to that part of Alaska.

ALWAYS AGAINST THE LOBBY

Since the beginning of the movement for selt-government in Alaska, freedom from the evil consequences of a tory lobby at Washington has been one of the things those tavoring territorial government have hoped to accomplish, and it has been one of the reasons urged in support of their cause. It has been more than four years since the Daily Alaskan began it's war on the Wash ington lobby and it has been ably second ed by all the other newspapers in Alas ka which are supporting American principles during all that time.
 Gov. John G. Brady, the patron saint of the tories, was at the head of this lobby at each session of congress, until the secretary of the interior very sen sibly refused to continue granting his regularly asked for annual leave of ab- sence. During all of Brady's reign at Washington, he was backed up by the hired men of those combinations, which hsd private axes to grind and the inter ests of which would be served by keep ing the law making in the hands of those who know least of the district and its people. Brady was at home this winter and last, but the others were on the ground and all of them were tories.
 The Daily Alaskan urges, has urged for years and proposes to continue to urge that the government of this dis trict should be in the hands of the peO- pie themselves, that the laws may be made by men who have a personal knowledge of the conditions obtaining and whose own personal welfare is at stake. When that shall be accom- plished, the services of a would-be-in- tormatiOn-giving lobby will be unneces- sSry.
 All this matter is understood by the people of Alaska, who have never missed an opportunity to so on record in favor of self-government. Those tsvoring territorial government for this district have always been consistent, and they have the great mass of the people with them, because they are standing steadtastly for those Ameri' can principles of government which are eterually right.

in proving that the so called Howard

AN AUGUSTA WOMAN
Was First to Enter Maine Building at
the St. Louis Exposition.

To Mrs Herbert Sanford of this city,
goes the honor of being the first woman
to enter the Maine building ut the St.
Louis Exposition and go up stairs to
the second floor. Mrs. Sanford's visit
was made some little time ago, as she
has been back in Maine for Il week,
now, and at the time the interior deco
rations Of the building had not been
placed. but she says that there can be
no question but what when they are
complete the Maine exhibit will be a
splendid one. OF course, the building,
because of its uniqucncss and difference,
from the other state buildings, attracts
Il great deal of attention.
Mrs. Sanford's husband was engaged
in the work of constructing the build
ing upon the fair grounds and to this.
in part, can be assigned the reason for
her being the first woman to enter and
go through the building. She says that
for considerable time past the grounds
have been open to visitors on Sundays
upon the payment Of a small entrance
fee.
