 One of the next important items in Alaska's commerce is the iurseal indus try. The total royalty derived by the government from SealskinS in the period between 1870 and 1906 is S9,O22,- O7O.44. and the number of fur seal pro duced on the PribiIot islands during that period was 2,g75, ,967, giving val ue of S56, ,Sgq, I15, at au estimated value of s@5 per sk'u, Ia lN7l the tax ou sealskius amounted to $lOl, ,OS0, and in 1905 the tax was SI46,9l2.SO

AMONG THE REPUBLICANS
Proposes to Run State Campaign
This Year.

If Unfriendliness of Certain News.
papers is Not Stopped-Both
Senators Working Together.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 1.-THE inter-
view of Senator Dick at Cleveland Thurs
day evening. In which he stated that be-
cause of the unfriendliness Of the Columbus
republican newspapers he would have the
republican state convention taken either to
Dayton, where the newspapers had prom
there were no newspapers and that he pro-
posed to have charge of the republican
state campaign this year again. has stirred
republican politics to white heat.
Those who have been opposed to Senator
Dick and to Senator Foraker because of
their opposition to the rate bill and the
Philippine tariff bill have been fired to
open opposition. The announcement of the
junior senator that he would have charge
of the state campaign this year has raised
the cry Of machine politics.
Many of the friends of Senator Dick here
are expressing surprise that he would voice
such sentiments in an interview. Nothing
they say could arouse the opponents of
machine politics. who played havoc in the
campaign of last year, more thoroughly
than such statements For this reason
many predicted that Senator Dick would
deny the correctness of the interview They
believed that he had been misquoted
No Denial Of Interview.
But there has been no denial of the in
terview, and several of the bolder repub-
lican newspapers of the state are severely
criticising Senator Dick for his utterances
OF course, the Columbus republican news
papers to which Senator Dick refers are
very warm in their references to the mat
ter The Toledo Blade which Is an i'm
partial judge in the matter, is scarcely less
severe in its discussion of it, and ironically
suggests that Senator Dick might convene
himself in one town and let the rest of the
republican state convention convene In an
other as there seemed to be no unfriendti-
ness the part of republican newspapers
toward any other part of the repuhlican
party of the state.
Nevertheless Senator Dick and Governor
Herrick can control the state central COM
mittee, and no doubt the convention will be
taken away from Columbus in accordance
with his wishes The two senators seem to
be cooperating now with view to pre-
venting the election of any republican as a
delegate to the state convention who Is
known to be openly fighting the senators
for their course in Congress last winter.
When the opposition to the nomination of
Governor Herrick for second term became
very manifest last year the same tactics
were used to prevent it's expression In the
state convention. 1t was highly successful,
and not note of opposition to the governor
was apparent, but it could not be sup
pressed in the election.
1t is easily possible for the two senator's
to manage 1t SO that no criticism of their
action shall appear at the coming state
convention, but unless the experience Of
last year is nothing to Judge by the opposi-
ton will be expressed at the polls.
