(FrOm the New York American)

(From the New York American.)
II. II. KOhlsaat, the former editor, of
Chicago, after a cali, at the White
House to-day, said he, believed that
Bryan would withdraw from the race
for the Democratic nomination and
throw his influence for one of his rivals.
Mr.. Kohlsaat said: Br5,Q
I'm my opinion Bryan, is money mad.
I understand that he has accumulated
about half million, and when a man
gets that much money he begins to
realize that he is mighty poor. and that
1t is necessary to acquire round mill
lion. Bryan must appreciate that his
value as lecturer and writer will be
gone if he is nominated and defeated
for the third term. He will go down
into history with three political disas-
ters as the chief thing to be remem-
bered by.
"On the other hand, if he sacrifices
his political prospects by urging the
nomination Of another man, he will be
hailed as a great patriot, and his worth
as lecturer and publisher will go up
ward with a great bound. He will be
q bigger drawing card than ever on
the lecture stage. and will be able to
pick up the other half million he Is
after. fully expect him to withdraw"

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The City of Seattle being in port last Thursday evening, the date for the regu- lar meeting Of the Chamber of Com- merce, pobtponement was had until Friday evening, when there was very enthusiastic meeting to discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of this town and section.
 After going through tho regular rou- tine, the committee on advertising Wrangell and tributary country reported that about $2OO had been subscribed and that there was more in sight; this money to be used in issuing a, folding circular of sufficient size to tell of the advantages and resources of this section. And the committee was continued to prosecute the work.
 Another important matter discussed was the question of waterworks foi the town. The committee on survey sub mitted a report embracing plat of the survey made, showing the line contem- plated by the committee for bringing water into town, and from this it would appear that Wrangell can secure plenty of good, pure mpuntain water at what is believed to be reasonable sum. Don- aid Sinclair and F. Matheson were named as committee to..procure some estimates for the cost of putting in water system.

A
 NEW LINE

Following is letter which is being generally published in the papers of Southeastern Alaska. It is self-explan- atory, and is of interest to our readers:
 ASTORIA, OREGON, May 16, 1908.
 EDITOR SENTINEL: The citizens of the Columb bla River Basin and of Astoria and Portland ask your respectful con. sideration of proposition to establesh steamship line between the mouth of the Columbia River and Alaska, touching as many of the Alaska ports as possible.
 There are many products grown in the Columbia River valley and tributary valleys that Alaska needs and can be furnished cheaper by this proposed steamship line than by any other
 The ports of Astoria and Portland se- cure groceries from the eastern markets at the same rates of freight as are af- forded to either San Francisco and Puget Sound. So far as the promotion of this suggested steamship line Is concerned, it seems to us to be very simple matter, and five or six first class mercantile firms here in Astoria and Portland co. operating with the most progressive business men of Alaska could establish this line without any financial outlay whatever, not even so much as penny Here IS a plan by which such line could be esta a5lished:
 It is a matter of comment that there are many empty charters on the Pacific coast at the present time. If the busi- ness men of Alaska and the Ports of Astoria and Portland should get together and secure cargoes in advance, the re- mainder of the proposition would mere- ly be that of writing charters
 Furthermore, there arc doubtless many products in Alaska which could be brought to either Astoria or Portland to great commercial advantage. First among these might be mentioned coal And as there is not better place on the Pacific coast for a smelter than on the lower Columbia River, which is well supplied with railroads, and which af- lords the best water transportation, it might be within the course of little time that smelter would become ne- cessity. There are many passengers 1 between the states and Alaska who pre- fer coming to Oregon than to Puget Sound for various and personal reasons.
 Another advantage that steamship line could have from the Columbia River to Alaska is that most of the salmon canning in the United States is done either on the Columbia River or In AL aska, and the canning companies thus having mutual interest would prefer to use the Columbia River steamers to the steamers that ply between Seattle and Alaskan ports.
 We know of no way in which quasi public proposition of this kind could be taken up to a better advantage than through the Alaska papers. We are arranging to call joint meeting of the commercial organizations of the lower Columbia river valley to set this propo- sition going. We ask you, Mir. Editor, to call meeting in your particular To- eality, of as many interested people as you can get to consider this matter and arrange to send delegate to meet with us July I, by which time we will have completed our preliminary plans.
