WASHINGTON, March 24-For

sion of the Illinois state Senate has
been holding hearings in the city of
Chicago, with a view to learning
whether wages to females have any
bearing upon social evil conditions.
II is said that the facts brought forth
have been quite alarming and indicate
that the shop girls are so poorly paid
that thousands of them who are re-
quired to support themselves are in
duced to resort to immoral means to
sustain themselves. The members
of this commission arrived in Wash

same as the stalking of a mining

papers from the land Office at Tahaiti
in few weeks. We have staked our

by fully so per cent. Transportation
companies operating between Seattle
and Alaskan points are making prep
arations to handle an immense vol
ume of passenger business.

Alaska this summer, and reservations
for accommodations are coming in
every day." said Robert W. Baxter,

ship Company and president of the

road.
The advance is the heaviest ever
experienced by our company. 1 I'M
derStand that one party OF more than
200 tourists from eastern points is
arranging to visit Alaska this year
and will leave for the North from
Seattle. The business last year was
exceptionally good, but this season
promises to be record one from the
standpoint of tourist travel.
: people of the East are just begin
ling to appreciate the beauties of the
northern territory. With the large
crowd from the Middle West and
western parts of the country added to
the fasteners who will make the
trip, record number of tourists
should visit Seattle and on to Alaska.
