Cordova business men have reorgan- ized their old chamber of commerce and propose to do some hard and, it is hoped, efficient work for the town. They expect to spend at least 54O0 per month in boosting. The work will be in the charge of a paid secretary.
 Thomas R. Riggs, jr., of Washington, D C., has been appointed the third member of the Alaska engineering board. to locate the government Alaska railway. Mr. Riggs, as a member of the coast and geodetic survey, was in charge of the Alaska boundary surveys and last year was an active candidate for governor of the territory.
 The story comes from Fairbanks that the threatened breach in the dem- ocratic party locally made its appear. ance, and the party is split in two an. tagonistic factions The cause of the trouble was the adoption by the demo cratic club a ita last meeting, of a res olntion that the club endorse only tried and true democrats for delegate Co congress. The proposition has the support of Marshal Erwin aud is being violently opposed by the friends of Ihe present delegate, many of whom are democrats. The opponents of Wicker sham are in the majority, however, and the result can only be harmful to the success of the democratic candidate in the coming election.
 Olaf Hjelm was an arrival from the shushanna on yesterdays train, hav- ing departed from the diggings last Sunday. He states that when he left there were various rumors concerning a rich strike that had been made on claim No. 1 above Skookum, tributary to Little Eldorado. This property was located by Bud Sergeant and is now being worked by Charley Range and others. Mr. Hjelm passed the claim on April 21 and says chat they were then crosscutting the narrow creek with the use of a boiler aud were then in pay. Before he left the diggings the report was that Range had banned S36 out of the bottom of a shaft not bigger than a Yukon stove and six feet deep. There was considerable excitement by reason of the new fud.-Cordova Alaskan.
 There are number of reasons why the democratic territorial convention should not be held in Fairbanks this year. The chief reason, in the opinion of the Times, is that the coast towns are not to be relied upon for satisfac. tory results Both of the old parties haue tried them, and always with the same result. With the republicans, it was a case of too much boss rule, and with the democrats, lack of harmony has interfered seriously with the pro ceedinqs. It is time Fairbanksans were given an opportunity to conduct a really successful convention-a con- vention which will be a credit both to the town and the party which holds it.. The Fourth division is @ power in terri torial politics, having a vote nearly twice as great as that of any other division, and it is time we receive rec ognition. We trust that the Tanana Valley Democratic club will insist upon holding the convention here, and in it's effort to secure the gathering of delegates the local organization should have the support of every camp in In' terior Alaska.-Fairbanks Times.

 Tbe Alaska Road Commission has been instructed by Che department at Washington to begin work at once on the survey for wagon road between Skagway and the summit at White Pass.
 Last Saturday afternoon George Zavorite, otherwise known as George the Greek" entered the bathroom at the W. P hospital at Skagway, climbed into the tub and drew razor across his throat, and then slashed himself across the abdomen, making a frightful wound from which his entrails pro- truded. Zavorite was a hardrock miner, 33 years of age, and had lived in Alaska segeu years.
 A, F. Mclean, for the past eight aud one half years pastor of che Haines Mission has resigned and bought the Campen picture shows al Haines and Fort Wm. II. Seward, and will devote bis time heuceforth looking after these popular amusement places. Under the former management they have been immensely popular and it is predicted chat in Mr. McLeans hands they will be equally SO.
 The purchase of the Northern Navi gatiou fleet by the White Pass and the beginning of government railroad work in Alaska, it is said, will result iu the extension of the White Pass railroad to Lower Labarge. The building of such a line would leugthen the Yukon sea. son by two or three weeks. It is usu- ally two weeks after the ice is out of the Yukon river before it is possible to send a steamer through the lake.
 President H. F. Alexander, of the Pacific Navigation company, has in- vited 200 representative business men of Seattle, Tacoma and Portland to visit Alaska as his guests, and already many of them have accepted. The ex- cursiouists will take passage on the Admiral Sampson, sailing from Seattle May 10th. Gov. J. F. A. Strong, of Alaska, and Gov. Ernest Lister, of Washington, will be among the guests.
 There is no doubt but that there will be much more travel this way the pres ent season to and from the interior than for several years and since the boom days of the early history of the country. This will be the direct result of the late deal by which the White Pass company secured control of the lower river lines and Wbitehorse will profit largely by the change. We must give President Dickeaon credit for do ing things, and big things at that Whitehorse Star.
 H. P Wedlng, United States mar shal at Iditarod, died last month. His successor has been named by Marshal Erwin in the person of 2. E WinecoR, a former minister of the gospel. The new deputy will be stationed tenn porarily at Fort Yukon, where the trouble between the whites and the ma tives has been acute of late. The new deputy, being an ex.clergyman, may be able to handle the moral question, which is uppermost in Fort Yukon better tban anyone else.

On May 2nd, Charles Rosswog, night watchmau on the Cordova dock, heard cries for help. Upon Investigating, he found a man swimming in the water near the dock. When rescue the man said that with two companions he had started in a rowboat for Orca; that the boat upset and the other two had drowned.
 The miners of the Nome district have demanded tbat the operators give them an eight hour day. Most of the em ployers in that section have compiled with the demands of the men. Much criticism has been made of the terri- torial legislature because they did not pass an eight hour law applying to placer mines.
 Pat Keeley and Martin Lanning, who have been in Kuik all winter helping to transport the coal from Chickaloon to salt water, returned to Seward yester- day over the trail via Sunrise. Mr. Lanning states tbat the coal is all land- ed in good shape on the beach near Old Knik, and is well covered up, awaiting the cruiser that will make the navy test. There is no doubt in the minds of the men who have been work ing but what it will staud the test and come through with flying colors. They have been burning 1t all winter, and from the results obtained feel sure that the Matanuska coal will make Rood.- Seward Gateway.
 The passing of the Northern Naviga- tion Co.,, a pioneer transportation line of Alaska, is worthy of more than casual notice. When the United States acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867 the Alaska Commercial Go. took over many of the old Russian trading posts. This company had its headquarters in San Francisco and successfully carried on it's work to that period generally known as the Klondike stampede, when the same interests organized the North ern Commercial Go and the Northern Navigation Go. and to date have been operating continuously on the Yukon and other rivers of Alaska. Hampered by many operating difficulties; an ex tremely short season for navigation and the natural criticism that falls to a company under such conditions in a sparsely settled territory, the manage ment successfully carried on it's opera tlons during the years of prosperity on the mighty Yukon. For several sea- sons tonnage has been falling off while competitive fights for the limited traffic have considerably interfered with the company's net results until it had to face the additional invasion of gov ernment owned railroad which would naturally deprive it, upon completion of the rails, of the major portion of all traffic destined for the interior. It is but natural, therefore, that it's manage ment decided to end the prohtless fight and by selling its floating equipment to it's chief competitor, the White Pass, it could thus gracefully retire from the field. During its long life in Alas ka it has performed an important task in the development ot the country and the time will come when some historian will accord to the Northern Navigation Go. that measure of praise it fully de- serves for what it accomplished during the early days.-Railway and Marine News.
