fire department will take possession
of their new home on Fourth street

ing Is now completed all but the in

in time for its occupancy at that time.
The building is of brick and is two
stories with the dimensions of 30x70
feet. The ground floor is given to
the store room for the apparatus and
the stable for the horses. The upper

stables. The building cost $4,000.
The new hall will be occupied by
a portion of the department and

department and hook and wagon
ladder and hose carts. The changes
will take place on February first
On January first three new men will
be added to the already existing force
of seven and this will give the city a
very formidable fighting force. In
just what proportion the men will be
divided between the two halls has not
yet been determined upon. The new
men will be determined upon later.

The Gentleman From Alaska.

The Hon. Frank H. Waskey, one of the delegates in congress from Alas ka, seems to be a real sensation at the national capital; according to Mir. Clark's advices, ga good many persons, even among the well informed class, seem % regard it as mighty strange that so remote a region as Alaka should have representative in congress" and Mir. Waskey is said to be "the object of much amiable curiosity" They tex press the usual surprise,' too, "when he tells them it IS milder iu winter along the coast region" of Alaska than 1t is in the nations capital. Which shows what big country this Is.
 But why should Mir. Waskey's pres erco at the national capital rouse so much "amiable curiosity? What manner of man did the people of tbe national capital expect from Alaska? Alaska is real clay: like the rest of the world, of quality richer, perhaps, than the average clay, it's dust and gravel heavier with the grains that glisten, but still, ''of the earth earthly it was quite natural for such a country to send to the American congress a plain, straightforward American citizen, such as residents of the capital have found in the person of Mir. Waskey.
 Still, Alaska Is not easily realized, and one of the important duties which -r. Waskey's position imposes is to convince the really provincial natures Of The genuiness and immensity of this territorial wonder. How best to do this must rest with the intelligence, in Gustry and good judgment of the dele gate whose presence at Washington has reused 80 much "aimable curios- ity." He might make his way smoother by tracing "limerick" on his cards, which would serve the double purpose of putting his new and poorly inform ed acguaiutances perfectly at ease, and at the same time keep him in constant touch with one of the important duties of his position:

Four hundred sealskins, believed to be part of those secured by the Jap anese in raid on the island of St. Paul last summer, and which the United States made an attempt to re. cover, were shipped from Victoria via the Canadian Pacific railroad for Lon- don duriug the past week, The skins were in barrels and were labeled fish. They arrived from Yokohoma recently on one of the Oriental liners. The shipment is sent to London for orders. Record Miner.
 In letter to President Roosevelt, Gov. Hoggatt urges the appointment of special commission to visit all parts of Alaska to study needed legis- lation to and especially mining so as to prevent litigation amounting to prac- ticaIly blackmail. He asks for an ad- ditional judicial district, embracing all the coast line west of Yakutat Bay for two hundred miles inland, to relieve congestion in the second judical dis trict now presided over by Judge Wickersham. He also asks for a fifth federal jndge in Alaska who can be as signed to any division under orders from the attorney general.
