Quick
Payment

upon its Bonds of Suretyship is
the fixed rule of the American
Surety Company of New York.
Without bubble or technical OBJ
lection, and with only such delay
as careful examination of proof
requires, losses are promptly paid,
the check being often mailed the
same day the claim is fled.
On Personal Security, recovery
necessarily takes time; with the
American Surety Company of New
York, recovery upon proof of loss
is certain and immediate. Such
quick action often saves a bank
from closing its doors. or a firm
from going into bankruptcy.
Persons, firms and corporation
requiring bonds from their en-
ployees, should write to the

 Snow slides carrying rocks and trees blocked the White Pass road last week.
 The U. S. District Court will set at Valdez on March 14th, Judge Wicker sham presiding.
 The Mamie mine at Hadley has a supply of coal and plenty of water, and has resumed operations.
 The Alaska road commission will build a road from Raines to Klukwan during the coming summer.
 John W. Earle, a soldier at St. Michael was given six months sen tence for selling booze to natives.
 Fairbanks Las paid off it's municipal debt which had grown to s34,000, and still has money in the town poke. The Seattle Mail and Herald prints a picture of Valdez that is surely libel. Nothing is visible but snow and ice.
 During the first months business January-the Ketchikan cable office handled 763 messages, for which it re- ceived s942.79.
 The April term of court at Juneau will be under the watchful eye of Judge Wickersham, sometimes called James the Terrible.
 The Alaska building at Seattle has been sold, and in that respect it only shares the fate of the country after which it was named.
 An attempt to stop gambling at Val dez failed. If they had less Wicker sham and more Gunnison they would find out how it is done.
 According to an exchange, Nome has a woman's society that is doing more to solve the Indian question than all the Washington appointed officials in the district.
 The bill for territorial form of gov ernmeut for Alaska has been turned down aud Delegate Waskey with it. The house committee on territories re- fuses to consider it.
 The staff artist of the Alaska Month ly Magazine recently made startling revelations about the glacial period and few other cold facts that have frozen up the whole magazine.
 A Washington correspondent quotes Gov. Hoggatt as saying that Delegates Waskey and Gale do not represent the best people in Alaska. You see there are only few of the best of us. ! It appears that Congress has con- sumed too much time raising salaries of mem bers, and discussing the nigger question, and legislation for Alaska will have to hang over to the next ses- sion.

The output of the Tanana camp for the present winter and coming summer will aggregate S12O00000 according to the estimate of J. l. Sale, who is in Skagway having arrived from Fair banks by way of Dawson. MT. Sale says that the several new streams ln the Panama are mostly deep, but that the extent of pay is being followed more successfully than ever, and the aggregate output will swell larger than ever. Last year the output of the Tan ana reached total of S9,l75,000. "The pay this year." says MT. Sale, "is being traced largely down into new regions. Notable in this respect is the extension of the paystreak into the Chatinika river. Cleary flows into the Chatinika, and the pay is being traced right down Cleary into the Chatiuika valley with such success that 1 believe the future great returns of the camp will be found in the Chatinika proper. The favor able point there seems to be that the Chatinika pay is confined to definite paystreak k"-Skagway Alaskan.
 One of the vagaries of the many beach streaks which intersect the tundra between the Nome tide water and the foot hills is demonstrated in the vicinity of the railroad track about midway between Little creek and Gen. ter creek or the so-called intermediary streak says the Nome Gold Digger. At this point Major Monroe has had gang of men engaged in mining for the past two or three years: and the fact that he has installed Self-dumper and hoist is sufficient evidence that he is not losing any money on the enter prise. Yet, strange as it may seem, nobody has seemed able to locate the continuation of the pay streak. Men have sunk holes all over the trundra in the locality, but up till the present time they have failed to locate any thing that would justify them in going to the expense of taking out dump. The major seems to have that partlcu- lar beach line all to himself, although Tom Dyer has crew of men working close to his boundary line, and hopes to hit something in the next few days.
 If some day the newspaper man should print the contents of his waste basket there would probably be riot. There would certeiuly be trouble in many homes, arrests in some dlrec- tion, shot guns in others, trouble all around. But the patron never sees the waste basket. He only glances at the beautifully printed pages, complains if one letter in fifty is upside down, growls his disappointment if one name iD five hundred has happened to go wrong, kicks because his communica- tion, signed "Tax Payer" has been con- densed into spectable English, frowns because the editor didn't take his ad- vice about publicly warning his neigh Dor against throwing more slops in the alley or dumping his garbage within the flag lines on the beach, and is gen. erally disgruntled, not so much at what he finds as at what he fails to find. He knows his share of the waste basket, but if he could have one look at the contributions made to that receptacle by his neighbors and friends, he would thank God for the existence of man with sufficient intelligence and courage not to print all he knows, and to temper even that which he does. print. -Ex.

 Every Alaskan should be proud of the road between Fairbanks and Val dez. It is one of the few remaining long roads in Uncle Sam's territory that will have well-conducted stage line. It will eventually be extended to Nome. and will then become as far famed as the roads across the western Dart of thecontinent before the Union Pacific and Central Pacific joined rails at Promontory, Utah, in the letter COS. -Ex.
 The Alaska Steamship Company has an option on two big steamships ot 4.OOO tons each that are on the Atlantic, and President Peabody and Supervis- ing Engineer Lent have gone East to inspect them. If the boats are as rep resented they will be purchased. It is the intention to use them in the Alas kan trade. The ore shipping business of Alaska is becoming so great that the Alaska Steamship Company is feeling the need of larger freight carriers.
 The miners of the Candle creek dis trict use the coal from the local mines, and it is to this fact that the northern city owes great deal of it's prosperity. Seventeen teams are employed in haul ing the coal and number of miners are engaged in raising it to the surface from the mines. By this method large amount of money is kept in local circulation with the result that it makes business conditions better for everybody. Where there is money in circulation, there you will find pros perity.
 According to the late press dispatch es Frank H. Waskey, our delegate, has suddenly become imbued with the Seattle spirit" for at the present time he is as busy as a claim stalker on New Years eve, attempting to secure an ap- propriation from Uncle Sam of S1,0O0,- 900 for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a S1,OO0,000 Alaskan build ing-in Seattle We would think q "heap sight" more of MT.

 If Alaska is ever to have her own statehood, it is time now to lay the foundation. If steps are not taken and we declare ourselves now, it will not be long before the octopus will have his tentacles securely fastened upon Alaska, and she will be granted "the American privilege" only when he has "bled" her to his hearts content. Stand up for your rights, ye sons of Freedom, you whose fathers blood stained the grass at Shiloh, Antietam, the Wilderness and Gettysburg. Face the open, and let it resound through Alaska's mountains-its reverberations echoinp against the great dome of the capitol-that you are not afraid to test your ability to govern yourself with that of lot of half-naked, savage Filipinos and ignorant Cubans, under the purile excuse "that it will cost too much."-Wrangell Sentinel.

Prominent Fairbanks citizens, and some of the newspapers are advocating government ownership of Alaska rail roads. The railroad companies that are expecting large grants will no doubt oppose the proposition.
 The Ketchikan Journal says: It is said that every dark cloud has it's silver lining, and so this trouble with water has been of service to number of gentlemen who are in training as can didates for the city council. They have learned to carry water on both shoulders.
 During the absence of Bishop Rowe, who leaves for the interior in short time, the Rev. Mir. Jenkins will have charge of the work of the Episcopal church in Southeastern Alaska. He will be assisted, however, by lay worker, who is candidate for priest hood, and who will arrive soon.
 One million seven hundred eighty five thousand and sixteen dollars worth of copper ore and matte was shipped from Alaska during the past year, more than double the amount sent out in 1905, when it was S663,506. In 1904 the amount was only S258,3O2. This rapid increase should make the copper people sit up and take notice of Alaska.
 From the following in the Ketchikan Journal we are led to believe that Bro. Coutant has discovered new breed of dogs: Indian night at the rink was a gay occasion last night, as the Indians were there in goodly numbers and had the band to furnish music to skate to. And the Indians were not the only ones to enjoy the evening as large crowd of ladies and gentlemen were on hand.
 The hue and cry has been to get the big monied men interested in Alaska. Now comes the kick that corporations are trying to hog everything and that there will be nothing left for the real Alaskan. Money and corporation greed is one and the same thing and must be expected. Nor can it be com bated SO long as the seat of govern ment for Alaska is in Washington Valdez News.
 The enemies of Judge Wickersham and former Mayor Barnette, of Fair banks, accuse the latter of having pur chased the influence of Senator Bailey, of Texas, for Judge Wickersham in his fight for confirmation. The Fairbanks Times says Capt. Barnette purchased his Kentucky farm through Senator Bailey and paid the latter s3o,ooo more than the farm is worth for it. It says the influence of Senator Bailey was enlisted in behalf of Judge Wicker sham from that time forth.
 A petition is being circulated in town says the Valdez News addressed to Delegate Waskey and Gov. Hoggatt asking them to lend their support to the bill before congress extending gov ernment aid to a railroad from this place to the interior, The petition sets forth that gigantic corporations are at tempting to gobble up everything in the district and that they will delay the building of railroad until they are able to do so unless assistance is rendered by the government.

MRS. AsTOR's GOWN.
AT the Auteuil racecourse recently Mrs John
Jacob Astor. partly because of her white hair
(Which French people never understand any
young handsome woman possessing) and partly
because of the elegance Of her black costume made
sensation. The gown consisted of a long red
ingote almost touching the ground over
long trailing skirt The material was black satin
cloth, and the redingote was covered with fine
soutache. The pockets and haring turn-up cuffs
seemed unusually large, IN quite the oldtime mar
Qus style. But II was the perfect cut of the gown
that made 1t remarkable.
The theatres all putting out new attractions
and really the gowning is remarkable In many
cases it is quite in advance OF the models which
the dressmakers are showing at the present mo-
mont. One OF the gowns in the new play at the
Athente is In fine cloth of that brownsh shade of
pink known as ochre rose. of the prettiest of
shades The skirt Is plain but very full although
1t hangs in straight folds at all held out. the
Iulness being more apparent when the wearer
walks. The front Of the skirt is made OF n lot OF
side pla1tS turned toward another. For the top
there is what is called a japanese bolero. drawn
into lot of folds about the shoulders with sleeves
10 the elbows, but with no armhoes. This is edged

with that new form of Jacket called the "casaque"
This meets only on the bust and Is slashed up the
back so that the skirts the Jacket which fall
almost 10 the knees, are not much except on
the sides. The jacket closes the chest with an
enormous chou OF black satin. certainly relief
from the artificial flowers that French women have
been wearing all winter This Is trimmed
with soutaohe about the neck and on the sleeves.
nut The soutGche is more gray than IS the blue Of
the cloth and Is mixed with little steel.
The tailors show nice little vest jackets of
bright cOlored cloths, green and scarlet being the
first choice. This scarlet cloth also used
a smart yachting costume seen the other day. It
had a half adjusted Jacket and short skirt
over lingerie shirt. ON the Jacket was shawl
collar Of black grOsgraIn silk, and there were
buttons covered with the silk This Is a relief
from the white and blue serge which is the usual
thing tOr yachting suit.

CHECKS AS WEDDING GIFTS.

NO: did not give Edith a check" said the
grandmother of one of the years fair brides when
giving an account of the nuptias 10 an old friend.
II had not known" she went on, that there
would probably he at least twenty checks among
the wedding gifts, I might have given one, but
the fashion Of check giving has grown to such
an extent that l thought it time for me 10 express
my disapproval by example as we'll as precept.
When YOU and l were married Sally, we valued
wedding gifts for the sentiment attached TO
them. In these days to Judge from the lists Of
wedding presents. there a great many people
who think our young men and women care for
nothing but dollars and cents. who don't want
TO take the trouble 10 choose gifts. II may be quite
true that when young newly married peO-
pie often started housekeeping with many useless
mementoS of kind but taSteless friends but II
seems in accordance with the fitness Of things
that they should receive presents more or less
enduring than that they should be tipped for the
ncc on
