~ She was the life OF the party tnat
night, so blithely brilliant. so elfinly
fascinating, Alsop was amazed
4: He knew she could be 80, but here
tofore she had been either too iBdol-
ent or too Indifferent to show of. All
the Traver guests made much Of her
before the home-going she had many
ENGAGEMENTS, tentative too be sure,
hut certain to materialize.
Even the great chief justice was
GIite taken OF his feet. Tell your
mother / thought her the most fas-
cinating OF women-until met the
daughter you have given her." he
said to. Alsop as they shook hands.
Come and tell her SO yourself,
Eff ~ Aslop answered. But the older
man, held up his hands with face
Of comic dismay.
!. Ii ;Elinor heard or saw the by.play
she made no sign. In the care as they
wkirled home she sat inert amid her
wraps, answering with commonplace
Quite whatever Alsop had to say.
There was no rebound IN her she
d;o not even admit how stupid she
had found the rich folk. Her bus
band was all taken aback-she had
always been as responsive as a harp
string and as vivid as summer day.
y IN his heart he cursed roundly the
root Of trouble-the little lame dog
she had found and fetched home, only
TO have 1t sent by his mother straight
to the pound. This was the sensible
thing, Of course but the furry limo.

Seattle Paper Would
 Send Congress North

the Chairman of the House and Senate Committees on Public Lands-will practically decide the fate of Alaska in the present Congress.
 Why should not Seattle get these thirty.two men-or as many of them as will accept the City's invitation and introduce them to the Territory between the adjournment of the spe- cial session and the convening of the regular one?
 The chances are that, with the at tention of Congress directed solely to the tariff and a couple of holdover appropriation measures, the special session will not be prolonged beyond a couple of months.
 There would be time, therefore, be- fore the reconvening of Congress on the first Monday in December, for a Congressional party to visit Alaska, see it thoroughly and return to Wash ington in advance of the opening day
 It is altogether probable that Pres ident Wilson would favorably consid- CT having his new Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K, Lane, of Califor- nia, accompany the party.
 The President himself has an- nounced that he will remain at his desk in Washington during 1913. He must. theerfore be dependent, in large measure, upon the advice of his friends in the Cabinet and in Congress for his rulings on matters vitally affecting the Territory
 The cost of such a trip would not necessarily be prohibitive. It unques, tionably would be worth every dollar put into it by Seattle.
 The fact that this city took the in- itiative in such an important matter would demonstrate to Alaskans that Seattle is their best friend and also would serve notice on the United States that this place is the command ing American port of all affairs having to do with the Territory. - Seattle | Times.

HOTEL BILL IN
 LEGISLATURE

Senator J. M Tanner introduced bill yesterday providing for the pro- lection of hotel guests from the perils of fire. It makes it mandatory for hotels to have fire escapes and to pro- vide guest chambers with ropes. The bill follows:
 Section 1.-All hotels or lodging houses two or more stories in height in the Territory of Alaska shall be provided with at least one fire escape of iron or other incombustible mater ial. on exposed side of said building conveniently accessible from each room of said building.
 Sec. All lodging houses and ho- tels in the Territory of Alaska shall be provided with manila or sisal ropes, not less than one.half inch in diam eter and of sufficient length to reach the ground, knotted twelve inches apart, in every outside room, except the rooms on the ground floor
 Sec. S.-All ropes shall be securely anchored near a window and kept coil ed and exposed to the plain view of the occupants, with printed directions as to how to use such ropes posted within six inches of where the rope is fast ened.
 Sec. Amy person failing to com ply with the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of misdemean- or. and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding fifty dollars, and every day that such person fails to comply with the pro- visions of this act shall be deemed a separate offense."

FAIRBANKS QUARTZ
 MINE DOES WELL

Captain spalding brought to town last week a quantity of amalgam which. when assayed by L. M. Drury, was found to contain 300 ounces Of gold, valued at $5,1OO This rep resents a weeks run of the 500 claim belonging to the Reliance Mining Com pany on Dome creek. This groundl is being worked by Captain Spalding' John Roman and John Cunningham as laymen, and is looked upon as one of the very best claims in the district.
 Captain Spalding reported that al' though there has been a great scarcity of water, that it is now getting better than he expected and upon his return to the mine they would be able to keep Che mill going constantly.-Fairbanks Citizen.

Tanner Wants Wagon
 Road to Summit

Senator J. NJ. Tanner, of Skagway, has introduced a joint memorial in the Senate asking that Congress build a wagon road from Skagway to Summit, the White Pass station at the top of the divide between the coast and the the Yukon water shed on the interna- tional boundary line between the United States and Canada. Senator Tanner has assurances from the mem- bers of the British Columbia govern ment that that Province will build a wagon road from Summit to Lake Ben nett if the United States will do the work asked for by the memorial.
 The movement for an international wagon road from Skagway to Lake Bennett was started for the purpose of providing indirectly a means for regulating freight and passenger rates on the White Pass & Yukon route by making competition possible. It is contended by the supporters or the wagon road that while it has become the settled policy of the United States and of the several States also of Ca nada and the several Provinces of that country to regulate railroad rates, this becomes almost impossible on inter- national railroads, so those interested in international traffic are dependent upon competition as a regulative.
 Senator Tanner believes that a wagon road on which auto-trucks could be operated could be constructed from Skagway to Bennett without great eX- pense, when the benefits to every body that receives freight or travels over the Upper Yukon that would follow a reduction of freight and passenger rates are considered This concerns the people on the American end of the Yukon, as well as those on the Canadian end, and the business men of Skagway who are interested in Yu- kon commerce passing to and fro over the White Pass.

Seattle should seriously consider, at the present time, means by which it may advance the unlocking of Alaska's treasures for it's own benefit and for the benefit of the entire country.
 There is no reason to doubt that the Territory will be given its initial de- velopment during the Wilson admin istration. There is every likelihood that the present Democratic Congress will enact important measures look ing to that end.
 A joint committee on Alaska inves- tigation was appointed by the Sixty second Congress, but for various req sons it failed to carry out the mandate of the National Legislature
 The committee comprises five Sena, tors and five Representatives, with Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, as chairman. Of it's membership, two Senator George S. Nixon, of Nevada, and Representative Joseph T. Robin son, of Arkansas-are not in the pres ent Congress,
 Holdover members of the committee are: Senators Nelson, Shoot, Simmons and Bankhead and Representative Fitzgerald, Sherley Hamilton and Good.
 The House Committee on Territor' ies has sustained the loss of six mem bers. The Senate committee misses one flame duck" Their places will be filled with new men, of whom there are a number in both chambers.
 There are only ten members of the Joint Committee on Alaska investiga tion. There are nineteen on the House Committee on Territories and twelve in the Senate Committee.
 This makes total of thirty-one, but as Senator Nelson is on the Alaskan committee and also on the Senate Com mittee on Territories, the number of individuals is reduced to an even thir ty.
