Sir George and Lady Doughty of Lincolnshire, England, ar- rived in this city last night from Vancouver, B. G., for a two-day stay. They have just completed a two-month tour of Canada, spent principally on the Pacific coast.
 Sir George Doughty has been a member of the house of par liment from the Great Grims- by district for the last seven- teen years. He is a large ship owner and is recognized as the greatest authority on fish and fisheries in England. He is a member of the Liberal Union- ist party. In 1910 he went to Canada at the request of Earl Grey to investigate the indust- rial possibilities of that country As a result of that visit he is now establishing a line of fish, cries on the Western coast of Canada with headquarters at Vancouver.
 The above from a recent copy of the Seattle Post-Intelligen. eer speaks for itself as to the future of the fishing industry of the Pacific coast in general and Alaska in particular, as soon as the Panama canal shall have been completed and in op- eration, for it is through the Big Ditch" in refrigerator

WILSON WON EASILY

Straws have been credited with showing the direction of the wind, and straw which demonstrate the direction of publicsentiment here in Alaska was blown on board the Mar iposa on her present trip up from Seattle. Among the pas sengers were R. w. Jennings, Ia prominent Democrat of this part of the world, and E. F. Tawney, son of Congressman James E. Tawney, the latter like his father a staunch Re publican. Politics were of course a favorite topic of con- VerSation, and to settle the question of how Alaskans stand Ia straw vote was taken among the passengers, men and wo- men, 5l votes in all were cast as follows:
 Wilson, 25.
 Taft, 12.
 Roosevelt, 10.
 Debs, 6.
 Chain, l..
 The greater number of the Roosevelt vote came from the women, as did also the solitary "Dry' vote for the Prohibiton- ist. It might be good idea to paste this vote up and see if it k not a fair indication of what will happen i'll November.

Ere thou to present form vert cast
Fen at the earth's conception stand.
And view with awe the Mystic Hand
That doth all nature life infll
And hold 1t by Omniscient VIII.
Thrown from the sun, bright atoms race
Tempestuous on In ether.space,
TIL. caught by whirling nebula,
They motor round the milky way.
Age upon age, there having whirled,
S0lidifed, and grown world:
Intense within the surface grew
The heat, and gases famed anew.
All melted were the elements
OF color, and of form portents;-
Then the sublimated- ether drew
From these the forms and colors true,
And. s0ftened by Its yellow light,
Thou nd aid aa, become become jewel . bright
OF red and pink were nestled there,
In cosey bed of steatite
Long to sleep. ere dawned the light
OF full Creations broadened span,
OF fish and bird, Of beast and man.
OF soft green moss, and trembling fern,
OF summers yearly sweet return
With honeyed bloom. and laden bee,
The purpling vine. red. fruiting tree,
And all the sweets the season gives
To th0se who sense what In Il lives.
Then one bright morn, when all was fail
Explosions shocked the tranquil air.
Thy virgin. bed was then bereft
OfNsture's long used coverlet,
And thou! my gem Of living light!
Awoke to make my world more bright.
Beautided by dexterous hand.
Polished, and set In golden band,
Vast giv'n to me as souvenir
OF love my heart holds ever dear
To cheer me when my heart IL sad.
To make my days Of life more glad,
And show me Gods infnity
In all that was, and Is to be.

So long az the meteorologic conditions
remain similar to what they are at pres
emit, 1t is no use trying to write q set of
locals without fret having something to
say about the weather. Briefly mention.
ed the past week has been mostly COM
posed of rain and wind storms, thunder
showers and cold, cloudy weather, inter-
spersed with the fraction of sunshiny
day, but not often.
Here it is almost the middle of June
and hardly anything growing yet except
grass, and that will be Of little worth
without fair weather soon to put the
sugar into it.
Our visitors and callers during the
past week, If counted, would carry the
number up to nearly 20; and that Is too
many to particularize. Frank Brooks,

Friday afternoon, and the next day they
went to their new home at South Bethel.
His brother Ernest intends to occupy his

lieved to be the first one ever seen With

be an unheard of freak of nature.
The answer is that there was NO
horned doe. Mr.. Knight saw q gray
colt, and looking for the mother, saw an
animal with horns, which he perceived
was buck deer. The gray colt was the
