 beginning in earnest to oeautlfy the home and streets Loads of rubbish are teing carted away, lawns are being raked, fences are being made straight and level, and the earth is being put in shape for seeds. The Golden North is making ready huge psnsy bed on the north side of the hctel.
 A movement is we'll on the way whereby gas boat capable of accom- modating at least twenty passengers and some freight will be con missioned to run between Rake, Tyee, Warm Springs, Cape Fanshaw, Point Arm' strong, Point Alice and Petersburg as the starting point. A round trip is lu- tended to be made each week, com mencing on CT about the first of May.
 Guided by the success made by the Seattle constructed 9redge on the In. machuck river, Seward peninsula, last summer, 5afet Lindeberg, president of the Pioneer Mining Co, and H. J> Prichard, another Alaska ming man, have purchased an immense tract of land on that stream and have com naenced the construction of a dredge capable oe handling 2,G0o yards of gravel.
 Through the establishment of port of entry at Fairbanks, Seattle's trade with interior Alaska will be increased by approximately Sl,ooo,ooo next sum- mer, says the Seattle Times. The open- ing of the Canadian route along the Yukon to American goods shipped over the White Pass railroad will completely destroy the monopoly of the interior that has been held by the San Fran ccisce interests for the past ten years. Now that the river vessels from the Upper Yukon can enter Fairbanks, the freight has been cut from S60 to $40 the ton. and the Seattle merchants who ship via Skagway, also have the advan. tage of three weeks quicker delivery than can be made by St. Michael, the route monopolized by San Francisco merchants. Dave Dunbar, credit man and commercial agent for the National Grocery Compa whe reached Seattle after an extended trip through the ter ritory last winter, said this morning that he expects at least 10000 tons of merchandise and supplies will be shipped from Seattle into the interior of Alaska in the first few weeks of the open season. The White Pass & Yukon railroad is already making preparations for the increase in business, and IS building two big river steamships at Whitehorse. This route has the advan- tage Of downstream sailing, and the delivery will be made three weeks earlier than heretofore. The San Fran cisco merchants shipping by way of St. Michael have to send their goods sev. eral hundred miles against the swift current, after an ocean journey of 3,O00 miles has been accomplished. "The in terior of Alaska is in very hourishing condition" said MT. Dunbar. s'The outpet of the new camp of Ruby wil2 be about S7oo,eoo. Ruby City mer- chants have been debarred credit on the supposition that the camp would not develop into profitable one, but this idea is erroneous. Many of the original locators there have taken out considerable money this winter by banning and some large &pSaRs have been extracted"
