It appears that congress has at last smelled a mice in Governor Hoggatt's intense intelesl in the laws which should or should not be enacted for the government of this territory, and will make an inyes- tigation of conditions as they exist in Alaska. If this investigation is conducted along square deal lines, as we hope it may be, it will be up to Mir. Hoggatt to show where he is correct in asserting that Alaska is not ready for self-goyernment.

During the last few years the great increase in the price of hard woods used in the manufacture of furniture has created a strong de- mand for wood which can be used in imitation of high-priced hard woods. The two woods that are most often successfully initiated are oak and mahogany, particular ly the ork in the golden and dark finishes. For initiating mahogany cherry was formerly used almost entirely, but the diminished supply and the increased price of cherry have led the manufacturers to seek a wood which would lend itself more readily to the stain, and at the same time show the grain and hold the gloss.

Ii some person would take the initiative and apply to the Depart ment of Agriculture for cuttings of basket willow, it is safe to say that the swampy ground of this section could be made to produce large quantities of this material. The climate and nature of the soil are perfect for the production of basket willow, and the department of ag- riculture encourages it's growing by furnishing cuttings and instruction free to any one who may apply. New York leads the Union in the production of willow for the manu- facture of baskets and wicker-ware, and many of her farmers are mak- ing good profits from its culture. Ninety-nine per cent of the best grades of basket willow used in the United States IS imported. The government has recently been ex- perinenting with this willow, and select cuttings have been distrib, uted among farmers, with direc- tions for planting and preparing for market. Particular attention is given to selecting the varieties and strains best suited to the soil wLare tic plantings will be made. The demand for basket willow is so great and the production so quick and easy that hardly any other farm crop can compete with it. Here's somebody's opportunity 10 IL ake a fortune.

THOU SHALT NOT

The following is published for the guidance of advertisers
 Thou shalt not run after the gra- ven images of publicity-ths cheap schemes and money-wasting meth ods of the inexperienced; for news paper publicity-which is the true publicity-costs money, and should absorb all of your appropriation in order to have the fullest force and effectiveness.
 Thou shalt not make a planless campaign of newspaper advertis- ing, for a store which is advertised only now and then might just as well only be open for business now and then. Your plan should look to making your store busy on what are now its quietest days. And that means that you must advertise special sales for those days,
 Thou shalt not advertise for the purpose of helping the paper along any more than you shall buy goods to help the wholesaler along.
 Thou shalt not advertise stingilv, for the average person steers clear of stinginess in advertising as nat urally as they would steer clear of people noted for table-stinginess.
 Thou shalt not bear double mean- ing witness for your goods. Can dor and frankness are the basic elements of good advertising.

The Skagway Alaskan accuses Hoggatt of .disrupting the Ketchi- kan convention in order to lend strength to his assertion that this district is not prepared to govern its affairs. And we doubt not the Alaskan is correct, as that conven- tion, if it had been allowed to pro- oeed fairly and squarely, would no doubt have shown the governor up in his true light. The hundred delegates from the second and third district were represented by proxies carried by few men, and the rul- ing of the majority of actual dele gates present--the Hoggatt bunch limiting the vote of the conyen- tion to the floor, was no doubt the means of preventing the denounce- ment Of the governor, which would have looked bad in a report of the convention.

The returns from only a part of the steamship and railway lines reaching the city show that one hundred billion miles, equal to more than five thousand round trips to the sun, does not exceed the total of individual journeys be- ginning or ending there. More than ssxteen thousand persons tra- vel daily between New York and Philadelphia, and about five thou sand between New York and Bos- ton. More than two thousand people make the trip to or from Chicago every day, while twice that number travel between there and Buffalo. It is no uncommon thing for trans-A tlantic steamship lines to bring in five thousand persons in one day.
