That's ali right" said the man. I'm
not kicking about the price. All 1 want
Is a chance 10 do my own barberlng."
a tonsorial outfit was speedily pro-

set to work.

Every once In awhile we run up

At Pinestead there was nothing

"All aboard for Seattle and the Outside!" That was music in the ear of many a sourdough as the lighters one by one were lowed alongside of the steamer Victoria, laden with old timers and their bundles, bags and shattered hopes. And such an assemblage of old "sourdoughs' never left the shores of Boring sea since the earliest days of the great stampede to Seward peninsula. Yes many had gone to Dawson in the early days of that camp, and now for the first time were returning to their old home in the states and in Europe. Miners, merchants, booze peddlers, preach CTS, gamblers, doctors, lawyers, longshoremen, Cossaeks, Japs, Chinks, bankers and goodly num- Der of the set that did not like the methods of the set that234566123 the methods and looks of the grand jury, all were to be found on the ship from bow to stern and from hurricane deck to the coal bunkers, not to mention the Malemute spread ing confusion among the mermaids and causing old Neptune to rise up and take notice of the "call of the wild"
 The moral effect Of the owners of the ship was very marked because of their presence on board You could get three apples for fifty cents and your waiter would cheerfully bring you one side order a day during the trip. I noticed one waiter take a four bit tip from a miner and all of sudden his conscience awoke and he unceremoniously threw the tip into the briny deep with disgust, for he that it was shame to take the money" The Malamutes wlLh their unaesthetic tastes and tendencies were given free range at different l intervals on the promenade deck and the passengers were accorded the unusual privilege of either clean | ing the deck or their footwear. h. discriminate and universal gambling was another striking feature on the ship. No sooner had the dining tables been cleared than there would | be heard the merry chirp of the chips and the clink of the "chink" and bold flash of the long green. " Hit me-" "Hit me again" That's good" "Im bet fifty" Three of a kind" Two pairs," "I'll call that, ' these and similar expressions were
 heard from morning till the wee sma' hours of the night. Yes, it was a veritable Monte Carlo, and any ship that encourages law-break- ing deserves the censure of all good, law-abiding people
 The first two days out were un- usually fine. for Boring sea was like veritable mill pond. But as we came near Uuimak pass the sea be-
 gan to grow turbid. We had sail
 ed less than day in the Pacific
 when the waves had become quite
 high. But we had a fair wind all
 the time until the last day or two of the trip. We did not encounter
 any heavy seas, but the Victoria had
 way of swinging into the trough
 of the pillows that caused an old
 sourdough to print in school boy

INCREASE OF BUSINESS
 AT LOCAL POSTOFFICE.

With the large increase of busi- ness at the local postoffice as shown in the report published below, and with the decrease in the number of clerks engaged, thre is little doubt that tn local postal officials have more work on hand than they can take care of. In addition to hand ling the increased amount of mail, the work of the postmaster, through the absence of Frank Swanton from his office, has placed upon them the further work of transacting the business of that official. The fol- lowing data were furnished by As- sistant Postmaster Kolasch:

 Just before we sighted Vancouver island we ran into a head wind of great velocity and everybody on board was happy to know that be- fore another day had passed we would be steaming into the welcome waters of Puget Sound
 The Quito has also come to port, and Mir. Bullock told me they were five days in very rough weather on Boring sea.
 Miss Emma Steiner made quite a stir in Seattle papers regarding her tin properties at Cape York She told of her unbounded success in sluicing up considerable tin on Buck creek last summer and that she in tended to build a tin smelter in &c., attle. We have a great tin team here on the coast, for Lena Walton is going to build a tin smelter in Tacoma. So with Emma and Lena at the head of this great industry of the far north success Is certain. Charles D., Jafet and H. M H. with all their millions have not been able to make such a showing in the Ipapers. We naturally admire people who do things.
 As a rule it seems rather difficult | to promote any legitimate mining proposition in Seattle. l suppose the main reason for this is t.le fact that all available capital in Seattle | is taxed to the limit in the all-ab- sorbIng real estate boom that now is on. Then again Seattle is situated in the mlust of a promising quartz country me last cause for this lack of interest on the part of Seat | tie capitalists in Alaska mining doubtless lies in the fact that they have been burned a few times by hot air" propositions. The harm that is done Alaska mining by false | representation and deliberate lying cannot be estimated.

Help The New Church.

The walls OF the new Christian
church are nearing completion.
The masons will soon have the
walls ready for the plate. The
carpenters are framing the root,
the large trusses which are to
support the roof are ready. The
progress on this building in a
year like this is surely wonderful.
The loss OF the fruit crop. the
scarcity of money, and other dis
couragements have not hindered
Hester and his assistants from
surprising everybody.
Now comes a good proposition
from the business men and citi-
zens of the town to turn out
when the roof is ready to raise
and donate one or two days in
placing the roof on the building.
This would be a splendid way
in which to show their interest
in the building and their appre-
citation of the struggle and sacri-
fee already made to bring the
building to its present condition.
About twenty men have indicated
their readiness to donate work in
roofing the church as soon as
the building is in shape.
