The Beer Queen.
About a year ago there was a great

be accorded the distinction of outdo-
ing all previous displays of social
splendor in the annals of American
plutoeracy. The enete East with it's
dueal marriages and $4,000 dinners
are out classed by this wedding feast
of IA private citizen of the West where
the floral decoration cost $50, 900 and
at which the fifty year old bride was
crowned with diamond diadem
which cost 100000 and with total
cost for the feast of 100000,
TIE old queen of the Budweiser
wears a crown of diamonds worth
100000 while the people who pay for
it wear rags and suffer for bread
The wife aud children of every man
who drinks beer in Martinsburg are

They have paid their share towards
the diamond crown of the beer queen
Let us stop it and spend our money
ON the wives and children and let the
beer king buy his own crowns.

KETCHlKAN IS LOOMING UP
 IN BUSINESS

The Jefferson went south last night, taking four passen- gers. and 69 tierces and 90 boxes of salmon from this port. The importance of ketchikan aS a port is readily seen. when one considers that we are fur nishing practically all the freight the boats are carr. ing south at this season. and prac- tically 50 per cent of the up business. This the companies recognize in tha: the Alaska s. s. Go. has placei a special man here, and the Alaska Coast com pany will also reach ont for some Of it.

PRETTY RACE PROBABLE

The crews of the Princess May and the Mariposa are anx- ious to try conclusions in the speed line. Each boat E equip ped with three boilers. but un : der ordinary circumstances us- es but two at q time. The May makes in the neighborhood of thirteen knots per hour on two boilers, while the Mariposa or her present trip up averaged t5 i-2 miles. or f3 2-5 knots per hour between Seattle and Ketch ilan. on the same number Of boilers. Each boat is rated a. q seventeen knotter on all three boilers, and if they ever range ID along side of each other with all three boilers going, a pretty race is assured.

CANNING AT PETERSBURG


 \ report comes from Peters burg on the Humboldt that the cannery at that point is canning sockeyes..

 Aside from adding a great deal to the comfort of it's resi- dents, the mild weather of the winter just passed has been a valuable advertisement for the territory.
 "The first thing a child learns about Alaska from school booke Is that the north abounds i'll ice bergs, polar bear. Eskimo and huge sized mosquitoes. Six months of the year the inhabi- tant of the north lives in total darkness, and the rest of the time he is bathed in continuous sunshine, according to the school books.
 "The dispatches printed throughout the country this past winter, however. have gone great ways towards correcting these erroneous impressions. They have served to arouse public interest on the subject with beneficial results.
 "Whatever else may be said against Gov. Clark, he did AL aska a good turn when he said in February that straw hats and linen dusters were being worn in the north.
 "He pointed 10 the report of the Photographic office of the navy department to prove his assertions regarding the mild ness of Alaska's climate
 "The New York World among others commented on what it regarded as a remarkable fact and published a cartoon Ill which a prospector driving G dog team is shown wearing 6 light summer coat and a straw hat while the dogs are provided with straw hats to keep off the hot rays Of the sun.
