His Coffin Finished, He Dies.

After seeing that his coffin was
made, J. WEIGH, father of Mrs. Nelson,
died from the ravages Of cancer. He
came from Oakland last fall to live
with his daughter. Three months ago
he requested that his coffin be made,
SO 1t might be finished before his
death.
His son-in-law and daughter were
able to postpone the unpleasant task,
but Nelson yielded to entreaties of his
father-in-law ten days ago, and unwill-
ingly began the work to please the
aged sufferer, finishing it before death
came.-Fall River Mills (Cal.) Dis

FISH MORE PLENTIFUL

That fish are becoming more plentiful is plainly evident by the smile that is beginning to ap pear on the faces of the differ ent cannerymen. The Ketchi- kan Cannery was in receipt of a scow load of about 5000 last night, and the Pure Food can nery of about 1000 thousand this morning. This means that both concerns are running full tilt today. George Rounsefell is especially satisfied because there were better than seven thousand reds in his scow load. OF at least so he says.

TERRITORIAL POLITICS

Throughout Alaska there is being manifested an intense in.- terest over the probable out come of the Congressional! nominations and elections. There are already two avowed candidates in the field for Del" egate to Congress. Delegate Wickersham has thrown his hat into the ring as an indepen- dent. without the formality of any convention endorsement. Jack Brooks, of Fairbanks, is the choice of the Socialist party and will make the race for Del egate. Heretofore the election has been held in August but this year and during future years the election of Delegate will be held at the general el- ection in November, which this year comes on the 3rd. Dis cussing politics the Seward Gateway says:
 "The question in political quarters today along the coast towns of Alaska is as to whe h. CT there will be a combination of Republicans and Democrats to defeat Delegate Wickersham at the coming election. A rep resentative of the Gateway re- gently made it his business to inquire at the various towns touched at on the way to Sew ard whether there is any move ment on the part of the Repub-- licans to put forward Q man next November, but as far as could be learned there is not a name mentioned as a likely candidate on that ticket.
 Some bitter opponents of Wickersham who have always voted the Republician ticket have eXpressen the opinion that if no Republican candidate is put for ward many members of their party will vote for the Democrats.
 They seem to believe that such a combination will result in a stiff fight, and that the present Delegate will have the hardest struggle of his career. Wickersham people, however, gave expression to the opinion tIat no such cOmDlnatlOn could beat their man, but all seem to believe that the coming election will be the most interesting that has taken place since AL aska was given a Delegate to Congress. As the Delegate election will not take place un- til the time at which the election for the territorial legislature oc CUTS this year, there is quite lot of time yet for many sur prlses, and from this time for ward it will be interesting to watch the maneuvering."
