The greatest difficulty experienced Ia
the care Of Mrs. Farrell during the winter
months was keeping her warm. She gem
orally sat In an armchair in the sun-
light and continually prayed on her ro-
sary. When the weather was damp she
suffered from chill. Mrs. Farrell was a

 The steamship Dirigo, of the Alaska Steamship company, which has been lying idle in the East waterway. is to be returned to service early in the spring.

 Most meu who have watch think they know all about it. They have the num- Der fixed in their memory in case 1t IS stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty others with their eyes shut. But how many men know that their watch is a compass and will tell north from south as accurately as it will tell the time of the day? Stanley. the explorer, did not know it until he had groped his way through the dark continent and met Belgian sailor on the coast. Every watch is a compass. If you point the hodr hand to the sun the south is exactly half way between the hour hand and the figure XII on the dial. Suppose, for instance, it is 4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun and the II on the watch is exactly south. If it is o'clock, point the hand indicating 8 to the sun and the figure x on the dial is due south. No man need to get lost if he carries a watch.-EX.
 At last Alaska is about to come into her own. Those who read the signs of the times are free to say that victory is near. There is little doubt but that the long struggle for Home Rule and recognition are about to meet with success. Sufficient pressure has been brought to bear on Congress until those who guide the destinies of the opposing parties realize that the Alas kan question has assumed national inn portance. Those whose hope had waned entirely of ever seeing progress and prosperity in the Northland have received gleam of light in the late interests that Congress is taking in the Alaskan question. They have received spark of hope. The Democratic leaders in Congress have assurances of the passage of bill granting an elect i've legislature to the people of the North. The Sulzer bill providing for the construction and operation of a railroad to the Matanuska coal fields, from Seward, is said to have the ap. proval of the administration and there is high hopes that the bills asking for appropriations for the building of roads and trails in Alaska will be treat ed in a generous manner,-Skagway Alaskan,

The disk of the sun was visible from
 First avenue, near King street, yester- day for the first time since the early part of December, says the Dawson News of January 9th. Today it was to be seen from the southern part of the town. From now on the royal hay maker will keep mounting higher in the heavens, until he dispels every breath of chill, coaXes the Yukon trees and flowers into burst of beauty, and makes the people of the far south swelter. A letter just received from Fairbanks states that, as that town Is on flat, the sun is visible there every day of the winter.
 The nineteenth annual statement of the Alaska Packers Association IS at hand and shows that the the year 1911 has been a prosperous one. The capitalization of the company remains the same, viz: S7,5O0000 authorized capital. divided into 75,000 shares of the par value of Sl00 each, The pres enl issueis 57,508 shares, leaving IT, 492 shares in the treasury of the con- pany. The association carries its own insurance on buildings, wha:ves, ma chinery, equipments, furniture and on product in course of manufacture and finished in it's own plant; also on an floating property and on cargoes Of box shocks, lum Der and coal. All up and down general cargoes are insured at full values, and salmon and mer- chandise stored in warehouses at San Francisco, at about one-balt their values. At the close of 1910 the insur- auce fund showed a credit of SSl9,- 2l3.O4 and earned S367, ,32511 for 1911. The amounts charged for losses and expenses aggregate S22,23O.69. The in. surance fund now amounts to Sl,]64,- 3O7.46; of this S1, ,l58, ,196.08 is invested in bonds. The associations pack for this season was as follows: Sockeye, 26383 cases; Red, 88,348; King, 16,978s Coho, 24,734; Pink, 369,7C1; Chums 36881. Total, 1,053,015 cases. Salt salmon, 2,626 barrels. During 1911, the salmon markets have been brisk. Sixteen canneries were operated, four teen in Alaska and two on Puget Sound. The Associatio maintains six medical stations in Alaska. All em- ployees and all natives are given free medical treatment and medicines. The policy of the Association to assist in the development of Alaska has been continued, and expenditures exceeding S250,000 for the year were made in the territory. The two salmon hatcheries of the Association have continued operations. During 1911, from the 49,- 626O00 red salmon eggs taken in 1910 at the Karluk Salmon Hatchery, 37,- 722,OOO fry were liberated and 41,026,- 500 red salmon eggs were taken.

In Alaska the government continued operating large salmon hatcheries on Mcdonald lake and at Litnik, Afognak island. During the year 1911, S6S,0OO of the bonds of the Association were redeemed and can celed, reducing the bonded indebted to s1 ,o7S,000. The insurance fund has in creased S347, ,O94.42.
