According to the Dispatch, Mayor E. Valentine, of Juneau, received cable gram from the newly organized Square Deal Club of Seattle, asking the CO., operation of Alaskan towns in securing legislation for the North, to which he replied as follows: "The people of Alaska earnestly request Seattle to at. tend to their own business and keep their hands off Alaska affairs. We have elected a delegate to speak for us."
 The grand jury returned three in dictments against Fred Monson, ac- cused of assaulting, with intent to kill, Jack Steen, at Kenai. Attorney Ray, for the defendant, sought to have the indictments quashed on the ground that the grand jurors were not drawn from the body of the district, but were taken from the vicinity of Valdez. Judge Cnshman decided adversely, and upon the request of Attorney Ray, fixed the trial to be heard at Seward, beginning February 16.
 What is considered perhaps the most remarkable achievement in the mining industry in Alaska for one person to perform, unaided by capital, is that recently accomplished by Nate White, pioneer mining man of Lynx creek, Kenai peninsula. Practically without funds, but equipped with practical knowledge and great industry, about two years ago White started on tun- nel which has been driven through 700 feet of solid rock. This tunnel is six feet in heighth and five feet in width. It is used to convey gravel and water from Lynx creek to the bed of an an cieut lake, which forms and ideal dumping ground.-Gateway.
 Libby, McNeil & Libby, meat pack CTS, said to be dominated by Swift & Co.,, have decided to enter the Alaska salmon canning business on a scale as yet attempted by but two or three corporations. As the first step in it's plan to reach out into the canned sal mon business, the company has already made arrangements to erect large cannery on Nelson's lagoon, on the west side of the Aleutian peninsula, about 15O miles north of Unimak pass. This plant when completed, it is an nounced, will be the largest yet install ed in Alaska and will have capacity for handling 100000 cases of fish dur ing one season. Libby, McNeil & Libby have operated salting station at Nelson's lagoon this season.
 A recent arrival at Fairbanks tells something of the troubles of the new camp. He says: "The Iditarod is a good little camp, but it is the worst knocked camp that there ever was, and the knocking is done by the people living in the camp. Even among the little merchants, who have been mak- ing more money than they ever saw before, the hammer is swung freely and apparently without their knowing why they are knocking. The camp is going to produce over S3,OooooO, which is record to be proud of, and Flat creek is the best creek in Alaska. Some of the ground goes as high as SIT to the foot, but even SO there were only few of the operators who made any money, because the most of them were experimenting instead of going ahead and working by approved meth Oas,"

"Japanese Mary" sometimes known as Mary Thompson, a woman of the re- stricted district, was found dead in her cabin on the row at Iditarod City Death was due to strangling, which had been effected with a shoelace aud a towel. Robbery is declared to be the motive of the fiendish crime, for every thing of value was gone from the room A gold nugget chain and cross, which she usually wore around Der neck, was missing. She was believed by many to have had great deal of money, but none was found in the cabin. 4 Jap by the name of Makuda was taken into custody during the day and subjected to severe cross examination by the authorities.
 The present has been the best year that the salmon canning industry of the Pacific Northwest bas ever known The output of the canneries is out of compari ison the largest, while the mar ket is prepared to absorb the entire output at highly romunerative prices. The output exceeds by three-quarters of a million cases that of any previous year; there has been greater capital invested this year, more men employed, larger disbursement for wages and supplies, and there have been no Dote- worthy losses by any concern. What this salmon industry means to Seattle may be judged by the fact that no less fhan S2,OO0,000 was paid out directly in this city for supplies, wages, equip ment, freights and other disburse- ments of the nature. This does noe take into account the profits which are paid to Seattle people connected with the industry, or which are invested here, as a result of the unusually pros porous season.-P..I.
 The Irish people say that God must love Ireland because He sends plenty of rain to keep it gLeen. If this ls true how much more must He love Alaska. Besides the green grass Alas ka has the high mountains, rugged and wild, some of them covered with great ferests, others with huge, sharp peaks towering against the sky. She has the mountain streams with their unlimited water power, an abundance of game and fish, delightful climate, and other blessings without number-and gold. Surely no land was ever so blessed. A great peace, a calm, or rest fulness, l don't know what to call 1t, comes over one who comes to Alaska. One feels that here at last he is with Nature and that he can commune with Her. Nature has made everything SO clean how can there be any bad things in Alaska? Ia such place we find the Sheldon Jackson School, a school equipped as few schools in the States are equipped. Only in the large cities do we find such schools. Here we dnd large, we'll lighted, sanitary dormitor ies for girls and boys, a kitchen where everything is done by machinery, even the dishes are sterilized after they are washed, steam laundry where the pupils wash their own clothes, 8 gym nasium, carpenter shop, machine shop, domestic science department, to teach the girls cooking, a domestic arts department to teach them to make their own clothes and hats, in fact, a school so we'll equipped that boy or girl can learn almost anything they wish.-The Thlinget.

The exodus from Nome this year is larger than at any previous period of it's history. Many persons who have been residents of Nome for years are quitting the camp for good, and the population this winter promises to be the smallest on record.
 There is now in contemplation on the part of the officials having in charge the Eskimos on Seward benin sula a scheme whereby the government wards will be invited to migrate to other and more favora ble sections of Alaska, says the Nome Nugget.
 s. Stride brought in from his ranch at Mud bay, a sample sack of ruta bagas, containing six bagas weighing nearly hundred pounds, The big gest of the bunch weighed 181a and the others on down to 15. George Hinchman had the vegetables on dis play at his store.-Haines Pioneer Press.
 John Foulkes, assistant postmaster at Cordova, was taken from the steamer Alameda at Ketchikan last week on a fugitive warrant, alleging him to have embedded four thousand dollars of the postoflce funds at Cor dova. The postofice was recently taken over by Harry Steel, who swore out the warrant.
 / The same old story over again, is the condition in Cordova. At a mass meeting in that city to arrange for an all-Alaska convention, only about a dozen present, and these differed so much in their ideas that nothing was done. It is now proposed to call a convention of representatives from Southwestern Alaska only.
 That there is nothing to prevent any citizen of the United States from going to Alaska and taking up as much land as he desires for agricultural purposes, up to 32O acres, is the statement of John P. Walker, United States land surveyor, just returned to Seattle from making homestead surveys in and about the Seward country.
 Homer Bounds, who has been pros pecting on Cunningham creek, report ed today that rich dirt has been found on the third beach line, says Nome dispatch. Bounds and his partner found two feet of pay dirt on bed rock. The gold-bearing gravel extends along the old beach line four miles and is worth cents to the pan.
 The decision of Judge Layons in the Sunday fishing cases at Kerchikan has caused some stir, as it will, if the de- cision is not taken to higher court and reversed, prohibit the halibut fleet at Juneau and Petersburg from fishing on Sunday, and also stop all mild cure and salting stations from fishing and operating on Sunday.-Ex.
 la bis column in the New York Re- view, Leander Richardson cites Che fact that Hayden Talbot is beaded for sitka, Alaska, with the idea that he will be frozen in there for seven or eight months and thus be free to write or play for long period without in- terruption. MT. Richardson adds athat the climate in that section is so blessed cold that it is likely to numb his fingers and freeze up his typewrit- ing machiue>n

Negro For No Apparent Reason
Other Than He Was Under
His Power.

iect. According to Logan he had no
other reason for w1ounding Thomas.
He said "hoodoo Doctors had told him
that Thomas had him hood ooed' and
hal he could not live so long as
Thomas lived. AS Logan's health was
failing him and he firmly believed
that his condition was the result of
some strange power which Thomas

when he was fired upon. A negro
physician is attending Thomas. Logan
