Washington. Feb. 6-Although vic torious, the Administration won in the contest over the Immigration Bill by a narrow margin of Lut five votes, and it was not until the very last that the ultimate outcome was known.

Word was received from Prince Rup- ,rt this morning which certainly looks rood for Ketchikan. It is to the ef- 'ect that the Grand Trunk Pacifi,. Galway is contemplating extending Ter terminal freight rates on fish to ,<etchikan It will be remembered that some couple of months ago the Commercial Club of Ketchikan took I'D the matter of securing better treat nent for the halibut fishing Indus Try, suggesting in lieu of terminal rates on the Grand Trunk which had been refused that legislation looking to the protection of the industry be secured at Washington, and to this nnd, representative of Ketchikan ac- ,ompanied by others from Seattle are now at the national capital asking
 elief. Realizing that such work woull keep tonnage away from them, the frand Trunk is now seeking a way ut, and it looks as though fish will be able to got the same rate to east ,rn markets from Ketchikan over the Grand Trunk that Prince Rupert en- joys.
 Tn addition to this, the probabili 'ies are, refrigerator cars will be brought over from Prince Rupert by 'erry and the fish loaded therein and the ears sealed here, so that the fish will go through to eastern points in the United States in bond. This will mean that schooners engaged in the fishing business in northern waters, which now make Seattle their head quarters will move to this place, and fish and ship out of this port.

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA

The report of Gov. J. F. A. Strong, of Alaska recently sent to the Secre- tary of the interior and now in print ed form, summarizing large amount of surprising information about the great territory and will be eagerly sought by the many who are plan Ing to become residents with the opening of the District to railway transportation.
 The Governor s report lays great stress upon the agricultural advan- tageous of Alaska, and the statement is made that there are 50,000,000 lcres of land suitable for farming purposes and millions of other acres that are adapted to cattle raising md dairying. The white popula- tion is now 39,0o0, an increase of 5000 during 1914. The Southeast ern and Southwestern portions of Alaska have made great gains in 'usihesS eNtenslon ana populatlon lue to the expected development of he regions by the construction of government railways. The districts be opened, says the Governor, are lnown to contain almost unlimited mineral, agricultural and other re- 'ources. Thousands of acres of low ,rade alluvial gold deposits will be made accessible by the railroads, and he production of gold will be large y increased. In 1914 the placer old production far exceeded that of ny former year.
 An important industry for the ter itory is predicted in the care and md extension of the existing herds If reindeer. There are now sixty 'wo herds of 47,300 animals.
 'If markets for fresh reindeer neat could be opened in the United 'tates it would aid n solving the question of meat supply of the Nations,' says Gov. Strong. :" The neat is delicious and could be sold at rices considerably lower than those which fresh beef and other meats low commando
 Alaska s mineral production last ear was approximately $20.000,000, f which $1560o.000 was in gold, S219,000 in silver and $3,360,000 in opper. Fish production contributed i17,000.0OO to the national wealth. nd the commerce of the Territory Or the year of 1914 was valued at 62,OOO,OoO.
 The report disposes of any finger ng impression that Alaska is an ice ocked wilderness. and on the cont ary makes it plain that it Is a ountry of splendid resources. apable of supporting several millions people in abundance.
 Perhaps the earliest effect of Al 'hd cohiihS opening Will De feit the development of it's agricul- nre and the coming of thousands new settlers who will seek it's -dvantages. This, with the spread the area of gold production and he opening of the coal fields to egular production. should serve to ouble the population of the Ter orv within very short time.- cattle P-I

The two basket ball teams return. ed from Wrangell last evening about 'ix o'clock, and each one reports that they had great time and that the Wrangell people showed them the fime of their lives and proved them selves very hospitable people.
 ketchikan won the first game when he ladies played, by score of four 10 nothing. It was fast game from start to finish. Geraldine Roselle laking the two goals for Ketchikan. Tot Mercer s playing was the out standing feature of the game, her pass ing and intercepting of passes being brilliant and spectacular. The rest of the team played consistent game. especially Geraldine RoselIe. The Wransell girls also played we'll, Mrs. Grant being the star.
 With regards to the boys game. which resulted so disastrousl yfor our team, the thing to be thoroughly un- lerstood is that the score is abso. Iptely no indication of the game. trom the start it was game full of thrills, daring passes and brilliant plays by both teams. The Wrangell teams ability to shoot baskets from my angle was phenomenal of their players, Eddie Lynch was the best md that is saying whole lot for aim considering the fast company he IS with. The Ketchikan team all played an equally good game and were in it. fighting right up to the finish and making Wrangell go every inch of the way. The refereeing was satisfactory to 10th teams and the 1ame, while at times very stren- ous on account of the terrific speed It which both teams were playing, was entirely deviod of any unneces- sary roughness.
