Day hy day evidence piles up in the congressional committee room show ing the existence and operations Of q paper trust. It seems to be estahlish- ed beyond cavil that an illegal con- b;uation exists aLd it has been shown in manner conclusive to all but those who seem determined that they will not see. however strong the evi- denee, that the tariff on pulp and pa- per Is what makes the combination possible and enables it to rob the cen sumer so completely.
 Astonishmeut has been expressed al the determined fight made by Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants, Payne and Dalzell. agains6 this particular measure of reform. The fact is that they are not so friendly to the panef trust as their course seems to imply, hut tEey are afraid of what may fcl. low ii they consent to if. Mir.

The republicans vino have in pros pect the task nf collecting the sinews of war for the forthcoming campaig gn are not enamored with the outlook. They would be afraid of the trust or corporation contribution, even were the trusts or corporations in mood to donate, which is no. the case. As the latter look back over the record of the past four years, they doubtless wonder what they have been tying to the c. O. P. for, anyway. Their aid in previous caIDpaigns made the fi- nancing of the campaign work easy. h 1896 real. compelling fear of Bryan and free silver caused them to give down freely at every demand of the campaign manager. The same thing was true, though in lesser degree, in 1900. h 1901 they were generous enough because Of the wisdom of keep ing CT friendly terms with the domi- nant party.

 Unless all signs fail the future
 growth and prosperity of ketchian

 made occasional brief reference to the
 very probable location of the largest
 fishing industry on this coast here in
 the very near future. The New Eng
 land Fish Co.. whose home office Is in
 Boston, and it's principal place of bus
 mess at Vancouver. B. C., has been
 for some time considering the advisa-
 bility of removing their plant from the last named place to keichikan,

Senator Hey burn of Odaho ridicules the forest service. The forest service has, directly and indirectly. been the IT cans of embarrassing many grabbers of government land in a manner not contem plated by law. When west ern senator ridicules it, and tries to beIttle it. we can't crush down the suspicion that perhaps be has feel ing in his heart for the vicissitudes of the grabbers. in which the people of the country at large have taken such keen delight, of late yeare. Sen ator Hepburn $ case against the forest service appears to be very slim one. His allegations are trihing in their a-ture and worthy of abolutely no con sideration in view of the many excel
 lent things that the public knows the forest service has been accomplishing.
 Those prognosticators who fOretold that Congress was in good mood to restore the Soldiers Home canteens at this, ssion have another guess com ing The vote was decisive one. It is probably true that it does not re- fleet the Houses deliberate judgment on the question at issue so much as it reflects it's conviction that a presi dential year is an unpropitious time in which to invite the hostility of a large and unusually active temperance vote. The majority in the House of representatives is not above tempo rizing and making concessions to its honest opinions -wheE it sees an elec- tion in the offiug.

There were a few unhappy people in town Saturday because their mail. which came in on the Seattle just as the excursion boats were leaving for Metlakahtla. was not distributed at once. Their dissatisfaction was caused, no doubt. by misunderstanding Of the requirements of the office force, and the Miner is glad of the opportu- nifty to say word in explanation though it has not been asked to do so. The fact is that Miss Hopkins and Mir. Rice do an immense amount of work which they are not paid to do, solely to accommodate the public. They are not required nor expected to do a minutes work after hours. on Sundays. or on holidays. except to re- ceiye and put aboard the mail sacks :: and yet, week after week, they sort and distribute the mail at all hours of the night when most of our boats ar rive so that the people may get their letters the first thing in the morning, or at once, if they are box owners. This is service that but few towns are lucky enough to get, and it will per- haps be better appreciated when the facts are more generally known. Inci- dentally, the Seattle was not expected by anyone on Saturday, having sailed ahead of schedule, and the postoitice force had arranged 10 go to Metla- kahtla with the whole day free for a holiday and the Miner. for one, thinks they mighty we'll deserved it.

it the closing session Of the IT eet- ing at New York of the National As sociation of Manufacturers, one of the speakers attacked President Roosevelt for having 'impeached the whole ju- dietary of the United States, citing in support the president allegation Of the improper use of injunctions in labor disputes. IL was declared as in- dicating the unfairness of the presi- dents attitude there have been issued 308 injunctions, and but twenty of them in labor disputes. This state- iuent would appear to be a rather crushing reply to an assertion which strikes the onlooker from this distance as very sweeping one. Hardly any one doubts President RooseveIet's sin cerity in his endeavor for reform, but he seems to have developed the unhap- ps faculty of antagonizing nearly all ihe great interests of the country to a degree that has, beyond question, ma terially unsettled normal conditions

The capitaliza- tion of these three mines is B. 000. GOO. of which s560, 200 is paid up. Consid- ering the government paid only &. 200, GOO for all of Alaska, the excess of dividends over the amount actually invested in mining on this one small island would seem to indicate that Mr. Sewrad drove rather a profitable bargain with Russia, even though these millions, together with the many other millions derived from other mines of the territory, inure to the benefit of private corporations and individuals rather than to the gov ernment.

The Chicago Tribune's poll of the Southern states would indicate that the solid south is still firmly under the domination of Bryan. The first choice votes ot representative Democrats in the southern belt was heavily in favor of Mir. Bryan, and it appeared in some states the Democrats had hardly heard of MinneSot'as doughty governor. There was considerable second choice sentiment for Johnson shown, but as whole the Tribune's poll indi- cates that Mr. Bryan will have practi- cally solid delegations from the South at the Denver Convention. As it has been generally conceded that it would be almost impossible to head him of without a break in the South, the pos sibility of that being done would be more remote than ever.
