NOTHING NEW KNOWN
 OF NEW 0IeeINes

A letter rece ived by W. w. Casey
 from a former employee named John B. Smedley writing from Chatinda, a potsoffice in the Cishana section, says:
 There is nothing new here but the town is still growing. Little prospect ing has been done although they are going out to the creeks now. There is nothing to warrant anyone in com ing here now as there is nothing do- ing at all. The town has half dozen stores. one saloon, two barber shops and several bunk houses. Grub is 30 to 35 cents per pound. A postofice has been established and it is called Chatinda, Kettleson is postmaster. There is nothing more known about the camp than there was six months ago. Pay has been found on the James, Whitman. and Mcclellan ground and that is absolutely all. There have been stampedes to various creeks but nothing came of them" The letter is dated January 27, 1914.

STATEMENT

To the People of Juneau:
 If it were not that know why cer- tain Juneau newspaper has attacked us for the second time would think it strange that any newspaper or other institution in a growing town would try to drive from their midst a new business house bringing to the city new capital, new enterprise and a stock of goods that would do credit to any large city.
 I came here from Tacoma, where l have a metropolitan store, not as a peddler with a few hand bags, but with a line of goods of the latest styles and fabrics that cost many thousand dol lars, and came to remain in Juneau and become a business man of the city. I came here because regard Juneau as the most promising city in the making in the West It seems Q very short.slghted policy to me thata newspaper should set out with a determination to create boy colt and prevent me from locating and thus becoming a rent-payer, tax-pay- CT, patron of the other merchants and business men of the town, and citi- zen. It seems strange to me that bus mess men would tolerate such thing.
 However, I know what is troubling the paper now. It is the same thing as when 1t attacked me before. It sought advertising from me when I was here last fall, and notwithstand' ing that it charged five cents less per inch for the advertising that gave it than I paid ThetEmpire, I dropped it and gave my business to the latter paper, because discovered that I was getting better results. from The Elm pire. was solicited by the manager of the paper almost daily for adver' Using until short time before I left and he constantly quoted me a lower price than l was paylng' when ne saw that I did not intend to give him any business he attacked me in his paper.
 I had barely arrived in Juneau the other day when a representative oi the paper approached me and asked advertising. He first apologlzed for the attack thatwas made upon me last December. I refused to give hin any business. Last night he attacked me again.
 wish some one who knows more about such things than do would tel me the difference between such prac tices and blackmail.

SEATTLE BETS ON
 GILL TO WIN OUT

SEATTLE. Feb. 2S.-The betting in Seattle on the Mayoralty election fla yors Gil Some wagers have been laid that he will receive 5000 major ity. Odds are offered that he will win.
 The contest is one of the hottest ever had in the city of Seattle, and the feeling is becoming intense. For the first time in his political career Gm is appealing to the progressive el- ement of the people. He promises to clean Seattle up and make 1t a better city morally than 1t ever before has been. He also pledges his support to the municipal street car lines.
 On the other hand, those support ing Trenholme have attacked Gill ism" which they say is synonim for vice and reactionlsm. They point to the fact that the precincts of the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards, where. the "vice syndicate" always has gave Gill old time major ities in the primary.
 Both sides expect to win. The Tren- holme supporters explain the betting odds against their candidate by say ing that most of those with betting money are for Gill now as they were two years ago when odds were offered that Gill would receive 5000 major ity.

JUNEAU HIGH WINS
 FROM SKAGWAY

The Juneau high school basketball team defeated the White Pass Athletic Club team of skagway last night in one of the fastest gaves witnessed here. The game took on more the nature of football srimmage than is customary to witness. The Juneau lads are younger than their opponents of last night but they are a husky bunch and fully as strong which, added to their excellent team work and ac- curacy in making baskets, won them the game.
 For Juneau every man on the team did excellent work and it would be difficult to choose any one member as deserving of special praise, The same perhaps may truthfully be said of Skagway except that their team work was not so pronounced and they were not so accurate in shooting bas- kets.
 At the end of the first half the game was 11-2. with the home lads on the long end. The Skagway team, not dismayed, went into the second half like a bunch of wolves, but were uH. able to hold their own, making but 3 while Juneau added g more to their score.
 The line-ups of the two teams were as follows:
 skagway Bledsoe, Sparks, Kos. suth (Capt), forwards; Rapuzzi, Me
 Kenzie, guards; Ask, center.
 Juneau-Kashaverofr, Wilson, Bur ford, forwards; McKinnOn, Casey, guards; Herner (Capt0. center.
 skagway at Douglas.
 The Skagway team will play the Mexican team in the Douglas rink tonight and it promises to be a very interesting performance. It is ex- pected that large crowd will attend from Juneau. Under the circumstance es the game scheduled between the Douglas and Juneau high school teams to have been played in Juneau tonight has been postponed.
 The Skagway lads will y and ar range another game with the Juneau team for next Monday night in Ju- neau.

Mutual Concessions Bring
 COnferees Work to Close

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. = The House cOuferees have receded from the amendment adopted by the House to the Senate Alaska railroad bm which requires the President to pur, chase any connecting line desired be fore work on the new railroad system shall begin.
 Previously the Senate conSerees agreed to eliminate the bond issue provision of the Senate bill and reduce the appropriation to $S5.OOOOOO. This was the real stumbling block and the amendment that kept the eonferees apart. The change now accepted and made a part of the bill as previously agreed upon was made by the House when 1t adopted the Fitzgerald amend ment by a vote of SS to S7.
 The House made the first conces. sion when it agreed to leave all mat ters with reference to the guage of the railroad to the President.
 The adjustment of the differences over the manner of providing the funds practically ended all the differ enees between the conferees. As the bill now stands appropriations for the railroad must be made annually until the road shall have been completed.
 There will be a final meeting of the conferees Monday. The bill will then go to the Senate and House for final action.
