He lay on top of cargo of hay A foot or so above him was the deck on which he could hear the foot steps of the people. Around him on all sides was a vast wall of boxes and all sorts of impedimenta. In the pit ch darkness he tried to free himself. Again and again he kicked at the iron above his head to draw attention but in vain.

CANNOT TAKE UP LOTS
 AROUND SHIP CREEK.
Information that May be Useful to Those Thinking of Stam-
 peding There.

The country in which Ship Creek is situated is part of the forest reserve and local legal advice is to the effect that lots cannot be taken up there so that the building of a city at Ship creek at present would mean building on ground to which a title cannot be secured. The Chugach forest reserve includes all the country between Knik Arm and Knik river. This is mention ed just to let strangers know how the land lies.

AS the election law approved by most of the Senate now stands, the names of candidates will be arranged in alphabetical order and the party designation placed after the name of each candidate. For instance, if "A" is a democratic and "B" is republ- can, "C" is an independent and "E'' is a Socialist, they will appear in TO- tation instead of all the Democrats under one heading, etc, Each party man in order to vote a straight ticket will have to pick out the candidates through the entire list on the official ballot instead of having all of the members of his party together.-(Ju- neau Dispatch.)
