effort will be made to take up the Alas. ka question-including the building of railroads-and the reform of banking and currency laws. The pressure to bring this about is increasing steadily, and it is highly probable that Con- gress will find itself busy with these matters as well as with tariff revis- ion.
 Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada, was successful in his fight for the chairmanship of the Senate committee on territories, and this was particu. larly gratifying to all Alaskans now in Washington. Senator Pittman was resident of Nome for two years in the early days of that camp, and has most friendly feeling for the terri tory. He may be counted upon to do his utmost toward aiding in the de. velopment an4 -. .lding of Alaska, in which he is already evincing much interest.
 Washington is full of office.seekers and their friends and supporters, and the different departments are besieged during during office hours, while the Senators and Representatives who are still here, are having merry time in trying to reconcile the conflicting claims of their constituents who are clamoring for a chance to sit at the pie.counter. So far as Alaska offices are concerned the keenest rivalry for office which has thus far developed is found in the Second judicial division, where there is a sharp fight for the marshalship. The supporters and packers of four candidates for the place are on the ground. The candi- dates who are being pushed to the front are James P Daly, who is backed by the Alaska Territorial Democratic Organization; E. R. Jordan, a Nome mining operator, who has the sup pOIJ Ol NlluSSOIdliS' JOhll iNSdlhOii' who is backed by Governor Sulzer, of New York, and John A. Webb. also of Kentucky delegation.
 National Committeeman z. R. Che ney, who is here, has been busy look ing over the ground and it is under stood, has made a few endorsements, which, however. have not been made public.
 The race for governor is between Major Strong, of Juneau, and Thos. Riggs, Jr., of this city. Charles A. Sulzer is not candidate. New Hamp- shire also has candidate in the per son of George c. Wiley, who spent a summer or two at Nome, few years ago. It is not likely that any Alaska appointments will be made until after Congress convenes on April z.

O'DONNELL CREEK
 LOOKS PROMISING

A letter received in the last maii from the North from Millionaire" kel' lv by a well known citizen of Juneau conveys the information that good nav has been discovered on O'Donnell creek. 35 miles from Silver creek, and that much neraer Atlin. According to the letter it has been learned that a man took BYE ounces of gold out of it in an incredibly short time last fall. The creek is all staked.
 Millionaire" Kelly, who is well known about Juneau and regarded as reliable, is at Silver creek He says it is all staked as is Moose Horn creek near it. At present no one is doing any work there, but everybody is wait ing for spring to come.
 Kelly says provisions are not high in Atlin and the demand does not ex. ceed the supply. However, dogs can not be bought with which to transfer goods to the diggings at Atlin for love or money. Atlin prices are, flour. s7.5o per sack; bacon, 30 cents a pound; beans, Il cents, and all other things in proportion.

The great entertainment and ball, given last night for the benefit of the All.Alaska Sweepstakes dog race, which occurs on April 10th this year, was an unqualified success in every particular. The movement started with members of the Alaska legisla- tive assembly. but Juneauites caught the spirit of the occasion and became enthusiastic boosters for the affair and carried it on to the great success it proved
 Unquestionably this social event has done much toward bringing into closer relationship the peoples who inhabit this country of magnificent distances. Every section was represented from Ketchikan's mist-laden shores to the frost.bound regions of Candle on the Arctic slope.

Items and Observations
 About Washington City


 The following letter was received today from Major J. F. A. Strong editor of The Empire;
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2O.- Two weeks of a Democratic admins tration have not as yet wrecked the country. Panic has not shown its teeth. nor has there been any suspen sion or even diminution of business, as was freely predicted in some quar- ters, after the election of last fall-and since.
 President Wilson's Cabinet selec' tions have been generally approved, if one may judge by the press comments of the country. These, taken as a whole, have been quite fair irrespec- tive of political leanings, or predilec- tions and have shown a disposition to give the new administration chance to prove it's right to a generous SUD- port of it's policies.
 The Cabinet office in which the peo- pie of the West and Alaska are per haps most interested is that of Sec retary of the Interior, which is filled by Franklin K. Lane, former resi- dent of Tacoma, Wash, and of San Francisco. The policy to be pursued by this department will undoubtedly affect the welfare of the entire West and North to a large extent. This is especially true of Alaska, as the de- velopment of that territory embraces, in a great measure, the whole conser- vation question of the nation. While it is believed that there will be eX- tensive modification of the policies pur- sued by the two previous administra- tions, Secretary Lane has made no definite statement. This, however, was not to be expected, thus early Iii the history of the administration. The Secretary is listening and wait ing, and, it is alleged, former Secre- tary Fisher refused to leave Wash and ready at all times ro v..-- successor advice as to the manage ment of the department. But indica- tions are not wonting that there is to be a new deal all around, and new policies are to be inaugurated look ing toward legitimate development of Alaska's coal resources and the open ing of new sections of the country by means of railroads. But all this is still to be worked out, and definite policy greed upon.
 The special session of Congress, which is to open on April T, it is now claimed, will deal only with the tariff. At least this is the statement made by some of the leaders in both the Sen at and House. However, determined

Baldwin, resign ing the chairmanship of the Progress sive party organization in Alaska, has just been published throughout the country Baldwin denounces the pol icies of Roosevelt and Pinchot in his letter. Mir. Baldwin says his selection as the head of the progressive party in Alaska was due to the fact that ne was active in his support of Delegate James wickersham last year for re- election as Delegate to Congress from Alaska, but he says Judge Wickersham is not supporter of the Roosevelt'Pin' chot conservation policies.

It was given Thursday night to all that could be crowded into that theatre, and the aud fence was simply held spell-bound throughout the entire entertainment
 The Odyssey is cram full of excite ment. One thrill follows another until one is left unable to guess what won der will be the next.
 It would be futile to try to explain to those who did not see it what a really great picture it is. Suffice it to say that never in the history of moving pictures has any production contained so many startling phenom' ena..
 Owing to the nature of the program the great Dante's Paradise and Purga- tory will be switched Irolh MoluaS 'O Sunday.
