THE CABINET OFFICERS.

The visit of the Cabinet officers -o the Interior of Alaska is bound to have a beneficial effect upon future eeislation for the Territory.
 Coming into contact with so many representative Alaskans the visitors are likely to hear views expressed regarding our immediate necessities .otally different from what they have been accustomed 10 hear from rhe paid lobbyists who frequent the halls of Congress.
 This is well l. was not to be expected that an exact knowledge of Alaska could be gathered from men who were interested in suppressing he truth. l. was not likely that those who are opposing the grant of territorial government would admit the standard of intelligence which actually obtains in the North, nor hat they would mention the solid ad- vance ill material prosperity which had taken place.
 The visit of the Cabinet officers will inevitably dispel many previous misconceptions, and the substantial appearance of the City of Fairbanks, with its many evidences of perma- hence must impress the visitors ia | yorablF. They will go back to the states with new conceptions of the destiny of Alaska. and with a great CT knowledge of it's people and their aspirations.
 The visit of the two Cabinet off cers will prove to be of incalculable value to the administration at Washington, and Alaska will profit accordingly. Too long has she been the victim of ignorant prejudice and criminal neglect

 Seldshness in this matter is eX- tremely bad policy. The miner Is entitled to more consideration at the hands of the supply houses. Upon him alone does the prosperity of the coun- try depend. and he should be given chance.
 Al the present moment several of the quartz men are making arrange ments To import their own supplies but they can do little more than that

HIRSHBERGER IN LUCK

While Louis FrederiCks was work ing on his Vault property some days ago, MT Hirschberger asked him if he might prospect on some of the ground. Fredericks told him that he might do so and that he could have all the rock he took from the shaft. Hirschberger commenced banning and about 200 yards from the rail road track llocated a chute of ore. He sunk shaft and already has about 200 sacks of rock out ready for treat ment at the test mill. This rock runs as high as $200 to the ton, and shows the great possibilities of the dis trict for the quartz miner. MT. Hirschberger is known as one of the best prospectors in the country and deserves success. In addition to be- ing a good prospector he is an in defatigable worker.

HIDING HIGH PRICES.

To prove that the new tariff has not increased the cost of life's ne- cessities, standpatters cite schedules in which the quoted prices of manu- factured articles are the same as before the Aldrich-Taft law was pass ed The absurdity of this attempt to deceive consumers is manifest.
 It is notorious that the textile trust took heroic measures to keep price quotations normal for this sea son by making lighter weight goods, and using poorer material.
 Their example was followed by foreign makers who exported to this country a cheaper grade of cotton stockings at the old prices. The net result, of course, is that the consumers must purchase more ire quently, because shoddy goods wear out quickly.
 Obviously the aggregate cost of ife's necessities grows steadily as articles bought deteriorate in qual- ity.
 This method of hiding high prices

FAREWELL DANCE ON DOME.

On Wednesday last, on Dome creek, T farewell dance was given to Mrs Miller Thostesen and Mrs. Stoner Mir. and Mrs. Thostesen are leaving for the outside at an early date. and Mrs. Stoner is going to the Idiarod.
 The dance was organized by Miss Rickert and Mir. Noble, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Louis Johnston. with the violin, and Joe Mente, on the piano, furnished the music. Supper was served at MT. Noble's residence.
 large number of friends from the adjoining creeks attended the dance to wish the departing god speed Among those present were:

ROBBlNG THE MINER.

We wish to call attention to a great injustice, which is doing more than anything else to prevent the proper development of the mining industry in the Panama Valley.
 We refer to the eXtortionate charg- es made for blasting powder
 Although the cost of powder may, at first mention, appear to be a trivial matter, yet, as a matter of fact, it is one of the heaviest eXpens- es Whic prohspectOrs and those who are developing quartz properties have to meet, It may safely be asserted that development in this section has been retarded to the extent of quite 50 per cent from this cause alone.
 That being the case, it is pertinent to inquire into the reasonableness or otherwise of the prices charged by local firms for powder, fuse and demonstrate not only that the prices charged are too high, but that they are eXtortionate and beyond all req son.
 It appears that there is a powder trust in Fairbanks, or at least an agreement among the several firms selling powder, regarding the price that should be charged. By this means competition is stif1ed and more favorable rates are not obtainable.
 The present outside price of pow der is from 9 to 1212 cents a pound. The freight on this would be about 3 cents a pound, or total cost, landed in Fairbanks, of not more than 15 cents a pound. Local dealers charge 40 cents, which is outrageous Caps, which may be purchased out side for 15 cents box are priced at S2.50 in Fairbanks, and 100 feet of fuse, which is sold at 35 cents in Cal ifornia, costs no less than s1.50 here.
 Now it would be possible for III uSdlili6 "llli ticSc ucCSSSdly articles to retail them at prices at least 50 per cent. lower than they are charging at present, and still make a reasonable profit. It would be possi- ble to retail powder at 20 or 25 cents a pound, and the other arti- cles at proportionately lower rates. But instead of doing this, the com bination puts the highest possible price on such goods, thus retarding development and making it impossi- ble for any considerable amount of prospecting to be done.
 It seems that these combinations only look at one side of the ques- tion, viz, their immediate dividends, whereas more enlightened policy, little more liberality toward the

TO GOVERNOR AND JUDGE.

The thanks of the people of the Panama valley are due to Governor Clark and Judge Overfield for their success in inducing the Attorney General and Secretary of Commerce and Labor to visit this section.
 Since he first came to Alaska in his official capacity, Governor Clark has proved himself to be most en- thusiatic believer in and worker for the territory; but we do not think anything he has done in the past will have such far-reaching conse- quences as the visit just concluded.
 II is good, too, to see our judge early cyinCing such an interest in the Panama valley, and we were for tunate in being able to secure such invaluable assistance at this time
 Whatever may be the result from the visit of such highly-placed off cials as the Hon. George Wicker sham and the Hon Charles Nagel the people Of the Panama will al. ways remember it to the credit of the Governor and Judge Overtield hat they eXerted themselves to such good effect, first, to secure the pres ence of the distinguished visitors and secondly. to make their stay here as instructive and interesting as possible.

 On December 1, 1854, the dictator ordered a plehiscite. In OaXaca only two dared register their open votes against Santa Ana Porfirio was one of them. and orders were given to arrest and shoot him.

 After months of uphill fighting marked by executive genus even rarer than his personal daring, Diaz marched into the national capital on November 23, 1876. without resist ance, and five days later assumed the executive power of Mexico.

UNITY NEEDED.

Distinguished visitors have come and gone and the election is over. Much has happened during the past week, much of vital importance to Alaska. What good comes of it all, depends entirely upon the people themselves.
 Now is the tune to get in some effective work for the advancement of the territory. Now is the time for unity and concerted action. The past is past, the future is still ours. What use shall we make of it? That is the question.
 First it is To be hoped that politi- cal squabbles will be given rest. We must present a united front at the capital. Chickering's at Washington and attacks upon the delegate should cease Give him a chance to do
 som thing. Prove to the administra-
 ion what the election clearly show ed, that of the three candidates for he delegateship Wickersham was the man preferred. Let the administra- ton know that fact, and ask of them that the chosen representative Ge heard, and that his suggestions be listened to ill preference to paid lobbyists who were elected by mo- body, and who represent faction numerically insignificant.
 Whatever objections may be made by the subsidized press, it is only the tarest justice that the majority should be heard, and that the voice of the majority should be taken as the expressed will of the people. Of what use are representative institu- ions otherwise? Of what use to elect a delegate at all, if political tricksters can exert greater influ- ence on the administration than a man selected by the people? Whom did Hoggatt represent, unless it was Hoggatt? Whom did Shackleford. or Abe Spring, or any of the others rep resent? Were they speaking for the
 people? We think not. Well, let them
 keep out. When the people want
 them, they will send for them; not before
 But politics apart, there are many other things which remain to be done. We need to move faster in our industrial development. We have large areas of the richest quartz as yet touched-limitless wealth ly- ing dormant waiting for us to claim
 it. That can only be done by for getting petty differences, and acting in concord. We must begin at once.
 Every inhabitant should join the boosters club, and work for the prosperity of Alaska, first, last and all the time.
