If the Bible is the work of God, as has been generally contended, the Territory of Alaska was evi- aentlv overlooked when it was taught us that "The Laborer is worthy of his Hire" Either that or recent firm doing business as Gardner < Jones, believe not Tn it's teachings.
 It has been heraled broadcast that this concern was to distribute 30 tons of freight along the trail and after such distribution, employ labor to drive 100 head of cattle into Fairbanks.
 Think of the vast benefit to Valdez-But Low! this concern sought labor and offered tabor the sum of One dollar per day. Of all unmitigated cheek, this caps the climax.
 The enterprising labofer comes 10 Alaska for a financial better ment, he leaves his wife and child and all that is dear to him, hoping that in such a sacrifice he may offer them greater comfort. In no country where such sacrifice Is necessary, has the employer had the nerve, gall or audacity to offer such a compensation. Alaska seeks not such enterprises, and labor for its own protection should shun such employment as 1t would a Vampire. A. Il. MIRRILL.

A Credit To The Town.

The new office for the Seattle hotel is now completed and presents a most metropolitan ap- pearance. All the comforts and conveniences of the most up-to- date hotel in the States have been installed in the Seattle, and that the superior service is appreciated is evidenced by every room being occupied.
 There are now accommodation in the building for 85 guests, and as soon as the snow leaves an ad- dition containing fifty more rooms will be erected. Plans have been drawn and material ordered for the new addition.
 Fred Wilson, who is in charge of the hotel, has been iu the same business in New York and vicinity for fifteen years and understands thoroughly the requisites of pop ular hostelry. No expense will be spared by the firm of Cobb x Will son in making this one of the best hotels Tn Alaska.
