The work of the academy falls under

Explanation of the first heading IS un-

ever, that thc honor Of membership IN
the academy is as much of n stimulus for
the scientific labors of those within as is
the hope of election to those without.
The second heading IS explained in the

SEATTLE WANTS
 ALASKA'S TRADE
William A. Mears Sent to Smooth Out Wrinkles Between Alaska and
 Seattle Businessmen.

William Allen Mears, representing the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, is a round trip passenger on the Mariposa and is spending the time in the towns of Alaska, at which he stops to try to overcome the prejudice that Alaska businessmen have for Se- attle and its merchants.
 Mir. Mears, in particular. is trying to disillusion the merchants of the territory in the matter of wharfage charges on Alaska freight in Seat tie, and he stated to representa- tive of the Prospector that Alaska freight pays the same wharfage as does the freight of any other local ity, excepting the wheat and flour shipments to the Orient and that the quantity of oriental freight and the competition with Portland and San Francisco forces the wharfage companies to lose money in order to retain the business for Seattle steam ers
 Mr. Mears also stated that the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce would willingly investigate all complaints by Alaskans against Seattle merchants and would protect the merchants of the north in every way from dishonest dealers, of which Seattle had no more than any other city of its size; but yet had enough.
 "The reputable businessmen of Se- attle are anxious to secure and re tain the business of the north by fair and honest dealing," said MT. Mears, land our organization is at the service of the Alaskan and Se- attle merchant for redress of any wrongs. Send us your complaints"
