gress Predicts Complete Sue

CONDITIONS ARE GOOD;
RAPID PROGRESS MADE
Contract Plan Urged - Also
Change to One Commissioner \
r. with Subordinates.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Three special
messages-a record heretofore never
equaled in single day-were sent to
and occupied the attention of the ma
ton s Legislators thruout the afternoon.
The Panama canal was the subject of
the most important of the messages,
the president s recent tour of the canal
zone furnishing the material for this
document, which set a new record, in
that it was illustrated with views taken
during the presidents visit. The other
messages dealt with the personnel of
che navy and public land laws.
Success Is Sure.
The presidents message on Panama
canal declares that he is as well con-
WINGED of the success of the enterprise
es of any undertaking that is human.
He says:
cit is a stupendous work upon which
DUR fellow-c ountrymen are engaged
down there on the Isthmus, and while
we should hold them to strick ac-
countability for the way in which they
perform it, we should yet recognize,
with frank gene~ousity, the epic ma
ture Of the task on which they are en-
gagged and its worldwide Importance.
They are doing something which will
rebound UNNECESSARILY to the credit Of
America, which will benefit all the
world. and which will last for ages to
come. Under Mr.. Shonts and Mr.
Stevens and DR.. Gorgas this work has
started with every omen of good for

Conditions Are Good.

the president says:
"From my own experience I am
able to say that more care had been
exercised in housing, feeding and gen
orally paying heed to the needs of the
skilled mechanics and ordinary laborers
in the work on this canal than is the
case in the construction of new rail
roads or In any other similar private
or public work in the United Stataes
proper; and it is the testimony of all
people competent to speak that on no
tropics-indeed, as far as know, any
where else-has there been such fore
thought and such success achieved in
providing for the needs of the men who

Rapid Progress Made.
The message shows that the work is
making rapid progress. OF the. great
Culebra cut he says:

the prism is now as wide as it will be;
al told, the canal bed at this point
has now been sunk about 200 feet below
what it originally was. It will have to
be sunk about $50 feet farther.'
In August $4,000 cubic yards of dirt
was moved; in September 291 900 yards,
and in October 325,OOO.

says, will continue to criticise, but he

Southeastern Alaska is getting lucky. Out of the bunch of candi- dates for Governor, two hailed from this section, and one of these was chosen. Alaska is getting big. Cities are building that threaten to rival, and even surpass Juneau in her palmy days. Each locality has it's special interests, and puts forth it's own candidate. Of course we eX- pect that the new governor will be governor of all of Alaska, and we sincerly hope that no faction, creed or party will mark the boundaries of his usefulness. However, the fact that at the time of his appointment he was engaged in the business of quartz mining, is a guarantee that be will realize the importance of that indus try, and give it a large share of his at tention. We hope that the new man will not overlook any of the industries in this country that need help, but we also hope that he will steer clear of Siwashism, and the star of his ambition will not have a smell of fish oil. There is no hope of future greatness for All aska to be found in the education of Indians, or in the exhibit of their totems to the people of the States, and the Governor of this territory should be a man with brains enough to know it. Therefore we repeat the assertion "Southeastern Alaska is in luck" and the condition extends to all parts of the territory.

We find that in the operation, we have not changed single figure; every line. both ways, contains the original figures 1, 4, 2,S,5,7. By reading them up and down, or right and left, we find that each line has all the original tg- ures and no more.
 Now if we use the figure as multi plier, we find quite change, every hg- ure being changed, the product being six hines, 999,999. In multiplying this number by any multiple of ', we get the equivalent of six hines; for instance take IA as the multiplier. and we get 1999998. Now take the figure on the left. l, and add it to the figure on the right and we have 999999. In multiply ing by 21, we have 2999997, which gives the same result. If we use 49, we get 6999993.
 Now if we multiply the original num- Der by any number not multiple of z, we get the equivalent of the original numbers, when the product is reduced to six figures, thus: using 9 as multi plier, we get 1285713. If we take the l from the left and add it to the right, we have the original figures, reading 2S5714.
 I could continue this indefinitely, as the same rule will apply to any num- Der. no matter how great it is, but it is useless, as it is also impossible to lose the original figures, except when multi piled by or one of it's multiples.

ALASKA BUYERS ASSOCIATION

ALASKA BUYERS ASSOCIATION
 Not to tell the merchants of Alaska what they ought to buy, but to see that they get what they pay for; not to in- struct them in the ways of trade, but to help them to results commensurate with their honest efforts. Such briefly are the purposes of the Alaska Buyers Association, newly incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, by we'll known Alaskans who have spent the winter season in the States.
 To every merchant of the North, to every independent buyer who has deal ings with the wholesalers and jobbers of the Southern cities, and the trans portation companies whose vessels ply to Alaskan ports, the assurance given by the new concern must strongly ap- peal. The Alaska Buyers Association will not attempt to divert the trade of North to or from San Francisco, Port land, Seattle, Tacoma, or any other city; nor will the Association assume to dictate or even to suggest where or from the buyers of Alaska shall make their purchases. What the Association intends to accomplish is this: Under responsible guarantee of good service, the agents of the Association will see to it that every order from an Alaskan, for merchandise, pr oduce, machinery, and everything of every nature, is filled promptly and in exact accord with the instructions of the man who pays the price. and further, to see that every pound of freight for Alaska is properly packed, prepared for shipment, and promptly loaded on vessels to be for warded.
 Mir. Joseph B. Adams, secretary and treasurer of the Alaska Buyers Associ- ation will be in Douglas within the next few weeks.

THE BEST MUSIC

The committee of the Alaska Catholic Club, which is making the arrange ments for the St. Patrick's Eve Ball, at Natatorium Hall, next Friday evening, has taken special pains to secure good music for that occasion. Prof. Carl Strom will lead the orchestra.
 The name of the organization in charge, is, in itself, sufficient guaran- tee that nothing will be lacking to make this Ball one of the most pleas ant affairs ever held in the city. The advance sale of tickets insures a good attendance.
