Frank Waskey, first delegate from Alaska in congress, is now prospecting all alone in some untravelled region be- tween Boring sea and the Kuskokwim river, according to advices received in Seattle some days ago. Waskey made large stake in the Nome diggings but lost all through some unfortunate un. dertakings, the principal one of which was the driving of tunnel through a hill on Iron creek near Nome. Finding himself on bedrock the former delegate chartered little trading schooner and had himself and outfit put off on a bleak port of the shore of Bering sea late last fall. There the boat and it's owner, Ira Ranke, left him to face the desolation. As the boat was pulling away he de- clared his determination to strike it or go under. No word has since come from him. His wife has home at Rai- lard, Washington.-Skagway Alaskan.

His Illustrations

Stroller White, in the Whitehorse Star, says:
 The seventh year of the miuistrationa of the Stroller in Whitehorse closed this week and when he looks over his work his system is thrilled with g sense of pride. True, the town is not aa large as it was seven years ago, butthe people here are better known and of a better quality than were those of that time.
 Seven years ago it was not an un- usual thing to see from five to eight red plush jags on our streets at one time. Now the number rarely exceeds three not over four in the heat of Ia campaign. In fact, it has been so long since we have had campaign that it is doubtful if to exceed two or three lurid jags could be mustered. Now, when man cultiyates red one he does not parade it around town, but retires with it to his room and nurtures it for week or two.
 Seven years ago the native sons and daughters came to town in the spring accompanied by over 400 hungry, thiev- ing dogs Now the number is about 365 Then the natives rarely ever wiped their noses. Now they use telephone poles, the corners of buildings and the sleeves of their raiment.
 The churches were more crowded seven years ago than at present. The same thing can be said of the police court, Then from 10 to b prisoners were employed in the crown fuel works at the barracks. Now the spider weaves his subtle web across the jail floor and lives in undisturbed serenity.
 Then soioist would "frog on tho kitty" Now he must have it in his hand.
 Seven years ago the people of White. horse were visionary in that every man who had located copper stain imagin. ed he was local W. A. Clark, August F. Heinze or "Death Valley Scotty." Now they would sell for s2G00o0 and pay for recording the papers.
 Young men who seven years ago knew all about high wines. bull pups and coloring pipes can now discuss the nutritious properties of prepared baby foods by the hour.
 All of which is conclusive proof that the Stroller has not resided for seven years in Whitehorse in vain,

 Recent announcement by the White Pass & Yukon railway gave notice that all through rates with the Canadian Pa ciflc, Alaska Steamship and Pacific Coast Steamship companies had been cancelled. While the steamship lines deny that they have given discrimina- tory rates, it is understood that the White Pass assigns this as it's reasons for cutting loose from traffic agree ments with the water lines. From now on local rates will obtain, although through bills of, lading are furnished for the accommodation of shippers. The action of the White Pass gives to the Humboldt Steamship Go. what it has been seeking in the courts for two years. However, Manager Max Kalish of the latter line, states that he has no intention of withdrawing the pending suit asking for equal recognition by the White Pass, accorded other lines. The case is now before the supreme court of the District of Columbia. Under the new conditions, all the water lines are on the same basis, quoting only the local rate on business to the interior. There will be little through business until next month, when it will begin to move, in anticipation of the opening of navigation from Whitehorse down the Yukon,-Railway aud Marine News.
