Freight Will Be Filling In
 Again

The advices from the south indicate that in a few days the freight will be n ling into this port in large quantities Ihe first of a series of great cargoes was that which arrived on the Princess May. She had all she could bod, when she got in the other cay, and she had left more than 1000 tons on the wharves at Vancouver, with moro being added to the accumulationS every day It was said by the officers of the Princess May that the Princess Beatrice, the Heuriette and the Amur were to be loaded out with all they could carry,
 Great quantities of freight are ac- cumulating at Seattle for the north, at last accounts, also, The other day the Dirigo sailed with a full cargo and with the Dashing Wave, loaded with |, 100 tons of hay, in tow. More than 500 tons of war department supplies are gathering at Seattle, and freight was being received there from all corners Of the country for shipment to Skag- way and the northern interior.
 The W. r. S Y. R, was never in bet ter condition to handle a great quantity of freight than it is now. The ware houses at Whi,ehorSe are practically empty. That does DC. mean that there has been dearth of freight to handle, but rather that extra efforts have been made to keep everything out of the way so the entire equipment of tNe river division would be ready to work on the fall rush, when it should begin.
 In addition to this great quantity of stuff for the interior, the barge John C. Potter will arrive iu a few days with a cargo of coal, She is in tow of the big collier Lelsnaw, which Is load ed with fuel for Tresdwell. They had arrived at Ketchican when the Cottage City passed that place,

TEE pRrnIsrs ARE FALSE.


 "There is DO question about the pro priety or desirAbility of territorial government for Alaska The question Is: lAreyou ready for itp If so, the people should have what they want,
 but the great distances, transportation facilities, etc, make it A serious question"
 TheNboye arc the words of Congress man John F. Lacey, of Iowa who Is now At Nome. Are we ready for 1t That Is the question in nutshell. Can we stand the sxpense9 The United States government now pays our ez- psnses. Under territorial government the e1pensea would be much heavier and the people of the district would have to meet them. Think it oyer.- Junoau Recori-Mlner,
 The question asked by the Record Miner would. be pertinent if it's pre- mIses were true, but they are not. In the most part they are false, and they are wholly misleading,
 h the first place, it Is not true that "The United States government now pays our expenses" It has been shown by experts of the treasury department, by congressional committee reports, and in speeches by senators and rspre- sentatIyss that the people of Alaska more thaR pay for their government Senator Nelson sald that they had over paid to the extent of sl,OOO,OOO in four yeArs
 In the second place, it is not necesSa- rily true thA, Under territorial gov ernment the expenses would be much heavier" It has been proS-d time after time that under territorial gov srnment the expenses can be almost as small ss the people desire to make them. Such eminent authority as J. Nj. Shoup and others, who have lived in territories, have testified to this. It is demonstrated by the fact that from 2,- 800 to 5000 people have maintained ter rIGorial government in other territor- les, under conditions not tone-thousandth part ss favorable as those in Alaska The expense of a territorial organiza- tlon and county government, where re- Quired, need nos be nearly so great to the people of the district nearly as it is now.
 In the third place, it Is only true in part that under a territorial form of government "the people of the district would have to meet the expenses of ad- ministrAtiou," etc. The sal ries of the judges, the governor, the per diem, mileage and contingent expenses of the legislature, and other items, in territor- les have always been met by the nation al government The other costs of gov srnment in Alaska would not be in. creGed by territorial organization, and the people are now paying directly or indirectly for their government.
 10 is also we'll to rembember that, after spending some time in Alaska and wishing all portions of 1t, Congressman Lacey has changed his mind, He thinks AlsskA ls now prepared for territorial government and that we should have 1t without delay.

The body of Lawrence Powers
was found last Sunday afternoon
in A. D. Shepard's apiary across
the South Fork. A bottle, m arked
carbolic acid, lying beside the body
told the story of the suicide. 1t is
supposed the deed was committed
Saturday evening as Mr.. Powers
left the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. Archie Reynolds, where he
had recently made his home, about
five O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
and did not afterwards return.
Mr.. Powers is represented as
good-hearted man but strong drink
had ruined him. He lost his wife four
years ago and son two years later.
Since then he had given himself up
to- dissipation. He leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Archie J.. Reynolds,
of this city, and two little boys liv-
ing with their grandmother at Plain
vile, Mimi. The funeral was held
Tuesday and the remains buried in
the Catholic cemetery.
