 The official statement of the customs business of the Puget sound dis trict during April has been issued . and it shows a marked increase over the previous months of the year. The trade with Alaska shows a large in- crease over previous mouths and is more than half of the entire foreign trade of the district According to the reports the shipments to Alaska amounted to S1,555, ,299. Half of this amount was machinery to be used in the mines and salmon canneries.
 Funny how men who cannot secure any votes in their home towns can have such a mighty pull at Washington, D.. c. It looks to a man up tree as though President Taft is purposely blind; that, as charged, he made up his mind some time ago about Alaska and nothing any one might say would alter it.

 Oil has commenced to flow from the lower we'll of the Pacific Coal & Oil Go. at the head of Katalla slough. This is an old we'll that never has been plugged and a similar flow took place about two years ago, and continued for time and finally ceased. Parties who have tested the we'll claim that it is flowing at the rate of "A barrels day. This is different we'll than that from which the supply of crude oil has been pump ed heretofore and is not connected with the tank and the overflow is going to waste. It is the theory of some that the we'll has been choked uy with parafne until the pressure of accumu lated gas and oil has been sufficient to force the oil and gas to the surface.- Cordoya North Star.

The teamSterS or the FalrDanKS dls~ trict have organized, with the view of finding employment for their team9 during the summer months. In the past they have been compelled to let their teams eat their heads off in idle ness, but this summer they are going to make a strong bid for the creek trade. The organization will enable them to serve Dome, Fox, Cleary, Pedro and other districts as cheaply as the railroad can, and they will at least be able to earn feed for their horses until winter again sets in.-Alaska Citizen.

Included in the purchase are the twin-screw steamer Henriette, the car transfer steamer Georgian, the tug Escort, schooner North Bend and some barges.

 Out of the west Gouies story of 8 sea tragedy in which four persons found watery grave. During midday of March 28, while living gale was blowing, the cod fishing schooner Stan ley was driven ashore on Sanak islands Soon after the vessel struck the huge waves swept over the deck, sweeping movable things into the sea. The cook, who chanced to be on deck, was washed overheard and drowned. The boat struck on a rocky shore and it was im- possible for those on board to make landing on the beach, ou account Of the tremendous breakers. The night following the wreck, the two mates, F. Bauers and Peter Williams, froze to death. The next day Captain Koehler died from exposure just as rescuing party reached the scene and had taken him ashore. The remaining five sailors composing the crew jumped into the icy waters and were picked up by the rescue boats from a cod fishing station near at hand.-EX.
 This year sees two new developments in the interior of Alaska and on the British Yukon, both of which are im- portant. The one which will occupy the largest space in the public eye for the time being is the great rush from the older camps to the new camps ot the Iditarod, camps which the people of the interior think will prove newer Klondikes. The rush promises to be so great as to leave the older camps seriously crippled in their labor sup- ply, fact which may tend to reduce production. The other significant thing of this years mining work in the interior is the number of quartz prop critics which are being developed and the great promise which many of these claims bear of ripening into valuable, productive mines. A new placer camp means large production of gold for a few years. Paying quartz mines mean a permanent population, enjoying good wages, for long time in the future. This means settled country, with a permanent population attached to the soil.-EX.

CHICAGO OPPONENTS ARE LAY.
ING GROUNDWORK FOR REPEAL.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The
Supreme Court today agreed to
advance to March IA the cases
brought to test the constitution
atty of the corporation tax
law. Attorneys Il. o. Brown
and Vincent J. Walsh, of Ohica-
go, appeared on behalf of VIM.
II. Miller and Fred w. Smith,
stockholders teprectigely in
the Corn Exchanee Bank and
Northern Trust Company of Chi
cago.
There are five cases before the
court and all will be heard to-
gether. The decision that is as
sured will not obviate the neces-
sity of the corporations making
their returns, even if the law is
declared unconstitutional.
Aim at Repeal Of the Law.
The Chicago opponents of the
law now here say they are still
determined to attempt to lay the
groundwork for repeal of the
law, and that they will not wait
on the court decision.
In each of the cases involved in
today's action of the court a
stakeholder sought to enjoin the
company from paying the tax,
and each case the petition was
ordered dismissed.
The court was urged to hear
the cases at an early date that a
decision might be obtained in the
matter befare June /, by which
time the tax must he paid under
the law. u.

it be permitted to submit argu-
ments aud briefs in the case was

new American Torpedo is a dou-
BILE war engine. Within the or
binary envelope is gun loaded
with powerful explosive. 1t
is understood that the torpedo
can penetrate armor and that at

P Hill, of Confederate fame,
and one of the patronesses of the

stared in extatlc wonder. and
the President spun on. In a
flash, the handsome Mrs. Horne
was the most talked-of woman
in Washington, and possibly the
most envied. She won her
laurels because she was heavy
weight and didn't dance like
one, which gives black eye to
sylph-like figures and models of

Mrs. Horne was beautiful in a
pink satin princess gown, with
pearls and lace, her golden hair
arranged in the prevailing turs
ban style. The President
"blew" a little after he return
ed to his box, and a few pearly
drops coursed dewn his rudy
cheek. Otherwise, he was as fit
as a fiddle: Mrs. Dickerson, an
old friend of his, wife of the
Secretary Of War, cooled the
august dancer with her big,

President staid an hour, leaving,
Cinderella like, on the stroke of

dent goes cautiously as a gas
