JUST A HABIT OF ALASKANS

Every now and then expects to unkind refec ton in Alaskan concerning the good intentions of the people of Seattle directed towards this territory Naturally there have misunderstanding between the merchants p the north and the wholesalers Seattle and quite often Alaskan takes his little wad to Seattle and in making his spurge gets trimmed and hundred and little misunderstanding arise by of the business and social intercourse between the people the north and the people of the metropolis of Puget Sound But then it would be just the if the dealings with the people of Tacoma Portland San Francisco. AS matter of fact we all do business with Seattle houses
 feel is best interests to do We get better service and quicker shipments than from other coast city And when have few weeks of leisure and want change of just naturally to Seattle We know the people and they know and consequence feel at home in Seattle And while the business houses of that city derive considerable benefit from their trade with Alaska, the
 thing applies with equal force to the thousands of people who trade with Seattle from Everett Bengham and the many towns of Western and Eastern Washington. recent suggestion in Alaskan that Git would be wise thing for to forget for moment to keep hands in pockets pass through Seate induces the Post ntegencer to make the following dgnfed and fair reply of denial:
 Unfortunately for both Seattle and Alaska dstrust has been created by repetition of this and similar statements The average Alaska editor makes this similar fling with persistent regularity it be fashion, and much of it is ocular at that It is seldom meant to do har but the harm done the Relations between Seattle and Alaska should not be jared just by disturbing factor These statements disturbing.
 'Seattle has sentimental we'll material interest in Alaska It is looking to the future of that great American commonwealth Seattle in large number have lived in Alaska. Many former Alaskans live in Seattle Seattle does get money from Alaska but that is because Alaska finds cheaper and convenient to buy its goods here than elsewhere Seattle does deal with Alaska matters in patronzng blesyoumychld spirit but in spirit of equality The brains and conspicuous in Alaska admired in Seattle What both need is little of personal intimacy More Seattle should visit Aaskans their ground Go North oftener The Alaskan South whenever he has the opportunity little reciprocity in this matter of visits would lend different perspective to the whole scene."

We understand that several important advisers of Presi dent Wilson, living Cordova and other parts of Alaska cannot understand why they have not been favored with invitations to attend the forthcoming wedding at the White House. telegram of inquiry brings forth the information that there shortage of engraved invitations and consequence the Alaska advisers respectfully overlooked This is what they missed:
