A MODEL INSTITUTION

The Miner Man paid a visit to the plant of the Revilla Fish Products company yesterday af ternoon, and was surprised to see how busy they are. The plant has been completely re- modelled, and is indeed a model institution in cleanliness and neatness. A crew of white women in white caps and ap- rons fill the cans by hand, us ing silver plated spoons in the operation, and every other op- eration is as sanitary and clean The plant is now working 10 people all told, the filters being on piece work, several of them being able to make as high as S4.50 or $500 per day. This means quite a substantial pay roll, especially when one con- siders it is all-the-year-rOund proposition.

A SMALL INDIVIDUAL

Somebody, wretchedly small and lacking in the attributes which go to make up a true AL askan is reported to be indulg- ing in petty thefts in the town, stealing this little thing here or that there. It was our boast here for years, before we be- came as "civilized" as we now like to think ourselves, that we never needed to lock a door or bar a window, and this paper has nothing but sympathy for the poor miserable lazy devil, whether male or female, who
 too shiftless to secure some of the plentiful work always to be had here to earn a livelihood to pilfer the goods be longing to some other fellow. Perhaps the worst and most con temptible trick of this maran- der was the stealing of meat, etc, from the cupboard of St. Johns Hospital last Saturday night. This institution has long been noted for the way in which it takes care of the sick and injured of this region ir- respective of whether they have the wherewithal to pay for it, and for an individual to steal from such a place, and in Alas ka at that, is almost beyond the belief of the true resident of the north.

PROMINENT ALASKAN HERE

John E. Ballaine, owner of the townsite at Seward, Alaska, disembarked from the Jeffer- son this mornin on her way south, and will be local vis- itor for a few days. MT. Bal laine is returning from Juneau, where he sold a considerable number of lots in his town. He considers that it is practically an assured fact that the gov ernment will take over the AL aska Central railroad, of which Seward is the terminal, thus guaranteeing the future of that town. {,

EVERYBODY ENJOYED TT

Red Mems Hall was cOmfOr- tably filled last night by Ketch- ikan's musically inclined, the oc casion being the concert or re- cital "An Evening with Chopin" By Miss KempthOrne. The lady's handling of her subject was something original, being in the form of lecture on the life of the author, intersperesed with characteristic selections from his work, every number of which was warmly applauded by the audience. In addition, Messrs. Delzelle and Parrish rendered several vocal numbers filling out a thoroughly satis- factory evenings entertainment The concert, which was given under the auspices of the St. Johns Guild for the benefit of the Hospital, netted a tidy sum for that worthy institution.

SOLID SUPPORT PROMISED

"Charley" Deppe has the prob lem of politics all worked out. He says that 5S people have told him that they voted for Jenn- ings in town at the last election here in town-the returns showed but twenty eight or nine-and they have all prom ised to support him for legls- lator, senator, or even president if he wants the job. The re- suit is Charley will give his shop and business away to the first fellow asking for it, and run as the regular Democratic can didate for Alaska's first city. With the solid support of the unterrified in sight, there can be no question of what the re- suit will be.

FORSAKES THE FARM
 FOR THE ROAD

One of the oldest travelling men on the road will soon be with us again. Robert Scott who roamed this territory for three years leaving it then to seek the "quite and simple" two years ago, will soon be on the road again. Despite all re- ports to the contrary he has dis covered to his sorrow that the much advertised "ten acres and an independence" is very often a delusiOn and a snare. AS he has many friends in the terri tory it is supposed that he will have to "frame mp" all the ex- cuses that he can think of so as to make them believe that he is as practical farmer as he IS a salesman. The big firm of Fleishner Mayer & Co. of Port land. is the house that will be represented by the old war horse. As his schedule calls for him to leave Portland to- day he will probable be here this week.

TWO MORE TRIPS
 FOR THE SAMPSON

The steamer Admiral Samp- son, of the Alaska Coast comp any, was so late getting down to the Sound on her last trip that she is considerable behind her schedule leaving Seattle. She will make one more trip af- ter the present one, leaving Se- attle about the 20th of the pres ent month. The Yukon, which the Alaska Coast Company has been operating south from Se- attIc will take the SampSOn's run starting Nov. 20, and con- tinuing all winter. The Yukon was formerly the M. F. Plant, and is a steel vessel, somewhat smaller than the Sampson. She is slower than the Sampson, but a big improvement over the old Bertha which formerly did tine winter running for this comp any.

BREATHING SPELL COMING

While candidates may contin- ue to picker crate and maneu- yer for some supposed advan- tage the great American pub lie in short time will forget politics for a short time to fol- low the ups and downs of the world series between the Nat ional and American leagues. There could be no more re- freshing break in year of long drawn out politics. A change of interest is always stimulating it also helps to smooth out the mental kinks engendered by protracted con- troversary and gives the public a chance, so to speak, to find out where it is at. In a few days we will be waving the candidate aside unless he can furnish us with inside facts on the condition of Mr. Woods salary wing or the hit ting strength of Mir. McGraw's hOpefuls. Spectacular swat fests and even more spectacu- lar pitchers duels will crowd the first page headlines to the disadvantage of those now fill ing the land with their lamen- tationS on the present state Of things. And a long suffering public will rejoice. So, lay on, Matty, and dodgaot him who first cries, 'hold, enuf."

She left the cannery Sat urday, but as the weather didn't look the best, she anchored off Chomley Sound until last night when she pulled up anchor and left for her winter home.

Vancouver.--D. Cairnes, of
 the Dominion geological survey
 who, with J. Maddern, of Wash
 ington, D. G., has for two years
 been deliminating the internat-
 ional boundry between Dawson
 city and the Arctic ocean,
 reached here recently, return
 ing from the summers work in the North. He reports the dis covery of great deposits of iron ore, which, though of great scientific interest, will not tC developed commercially during the life of the present genera ton. The ground is covered by a frozen tundra which thaws only on the top during the hot test summer days. Gold dis coveries have been made in the Porcupine valley, but the few prospectors in that country kept very quiet about them.
 Constantly things arc hap pening in this country to era phasize the importance of the "see America first movement. For instance. in a recent issue of the Detroit Free Press a writer, discussing "Unpleasant says: By the way, how'd you like to live, say m Alaska, right now? To be sure the place where you now dwell isn't at all suited to person of your rare delicacy and fastid- iousness. Besides, there is the climate, you know, which is so severe on your fragilite, and the neighbOrs who constantly get your goat-that is, ahem! constantly rasp your sense of propriety-which is always in the way and always is getting chunks rasped off it, isn't it. Well, perhaps there are worse places-which brings Us back to Alaska. Since June ', when volcanic Mount Katrnai blew off it's top, a heavy, mnrky pail has shut out sun, moon and stars for a radius of over 200 miles. A radius of 200 miles in Alaska! ! In Alaska that much ground make a decent back yard.-Seattle P.-I.

There is every probability that the coming winter will see several changes in the sched- ules and steamers of the Alas ka steamship company's fleet. The Jefferson is due for a thorough overhauling that will take two or three months time and the probabilities are that the CordOva will be put On the run in her place. The latter vessel has demonstrated that she can take care of the busi- ness both as far as accOmo- dations and speed are con- cerned. On recent trip up from the Sound after coming off the dry dock she made the run from Seattle in less than fifty hours which is about as good as the Jefferson was ever able to do. The CordOva's state rooms which are 1.-two berth" are big and airy, and she can carry better than fifty first class passengers. The Northwestern will probably take care of the the Westward business for the winter after the cutting out of the Ketchikan and Juneau calls and the Alameda and MaripOsa, it is rumored, will enter the Se- atlle-S San Francisco trade. This is not assured and may be changed as so many plans arc. At this time, with no boats on the coast run south from Seat !le, the Alaska Steamship comp any is not in very satisfactory position to gather in the Alaska business originating in Califor- nia and will suffer in the pres ent rate war. This would of course be remedied by putting the two steamers above ment- toned on the California run. They are both fast enough and spacious enough to hold up their end with the vessels now on the coast run, and would no doubt be able to gather i'll con- siderable business.

The KuskOkwim is probably the greatest stampede country in Alaska today and has enjoyed this proud distinction for the last five years. There Is always a good story in the mouths of prospectOrs tbout the latest find across the Yukon water shed on the KuskOkwim side. Many finds have fallen down and many prospectors have lost faith. Lately, however, the sit uation has changed and now it looks as though there will be big town some place on the Kuskokwim. It may be at the mouth of the Tulicak, scene of the fastest strike. Others think it will be farther up the river, opposite the Inoko or Iditarod countries in what is now known as the Aniak country.
