HUMBOLDT CONTRACT
 FIXES WHARF RATES

The discovery by the city council that the City of Juneau entered into a contract with the Humboldt Steam. ship company in 1911, to provide wharfage at the City Dock at 50 cents a ton, and also free dockage to the same company for a period of five years may settle the controversy over raising wharfage rates in Juneau. It Is believed by those who have dis. cussed this. contract that the city will not be able to increase rates during the life of this contract
 The city council will meet in regu. lar session tonight. and 1t had been generally expected that one of the im- portant things to couie before the meeting would be consideration of the pending resolution providing for rals- ing the wharfage rates from 50 cents to S1 a ton. Discussion of this reso- lution for the last several weeks has developed a difference of opinion among the members of the council on the advisabllity of changing the rates.
 Under the circumstances," said Mayor John Reck today, Tt would be waste of time to discuss making any change as long as the Humboldt contract is effective"
 A strong sentiment bad developed among members of the council in farI vor of trying to get doekage charges of $5 per round trip, but it is believed now that this cannot be done as long as the Humboldt Steamship company stands out for the enforcement of the contract it has with the city.

ALASKA SHOULD THINK
 WELL OF PRESIDENT

Whatever one might think of the general policies of the Democratic ad- ministration there should never be any but the best wishes on the part of Alaska towards President Wilson.
 He Is the first President to take a real interest in the development of Alaska,s resources and to him -chieay Is due the great era of activity which is soon to begin for the Territory.
 But even in other respects he has proven himself since his entry Into office to,be a man who really desires to improve the lot of the people gen. erally. We often hear nowadays that he and his administration are respon- sible for the dullness of the times on the outside and, consequently, in AL aska, but there has become apparent recently SO strenuous an attempt to place the blame on his shoulders that one is inclined to believe that his friend the enemy is becoming once more very active.
 His tariff and banking laws were certainly intended for the benefit of the people as whole, and 1t was never deemed likely for a moment that the monied interests would be willing to take their medicine without some effort to discredlt the adminis- tration that was responsible for them.

SKAGWAY MERCHANT
 BOOSTS HOME TOWN

L.. A. Harrison. one of Skagway's leading merchants, who was a Juneau visitor yesterday. says business is i'm proving at Skagway. and that the peo- pie of that town are more hopeful of their towns future than they have been for many years.
 'The absorbtion of the Northern Navigation company by the White Pass, and the consequent transfer ence of the operating headquarters for the Yukon transportation system to Skagway, has resulted in augmenting the White Pass payroll at Skagway and increased it's population" said Mir. Harrison. This is one of the causes for improvement there. The increased production of interior cop per properties has added to the Quan- tity of ore being shipped to Southern smelters through SkagwRy, and the outlook has become encouraging.
 Mir Harrison arrived on the Dol phin and returned to Skagway on the City of Seattle.

He made the uncanny discovery while taking a Sunday walk in the woods near Petersburg reCently-Petersburg is dry town on Sundays, awfully dry.
 The weed or vegetable in question stands about four inches in heighth from the ground and consists of num- bers of small armlike spikes that are equipped with an open palm until a fly or some other small animal lights on 1t, and then the palm closes on its victim, crushing and sufiOCating it to death.
 After making the discovery Sam de- clares that he made haste to get out of the locality for fear he might stroll into a section where the plants grow taller He is not a botanist and has no idea what classification the plant would have.
