Alaska is now ready for statehood. The time is now here for the people of this great and growing territory to de. mand admission to the states of the Union. Next session of congress I will introduce a bill for the admission of Alaska to statehood. l expect every patriotic American citizen in Alaska to support me."-James Wickersham.
 Never before at this season of the year have there been so many flies in Whitehorse houses at present-house flies and flies of the bluebottle variety. Formerly this country has not been particularly troubled with flies of any kind, aside from mosquitos and black flies, but indications now are that all kinds of flies will be numerous the coming summer if those now here are as prolific as flies usually are. Consid- erable can be done toward abating the fly nuisance if the town is thoroughly cleaned up just as soon as the snow and water are gone. Also, fly swatting should become general.-Star
 James Wickersham, our honorable delegate, the man that is making good in Washington, was in our city for a few minutes last Tuesday. Mr. Wick. ersham did not get to see all those that he wished 10, as Capt. Nord was in a hurry. Mir. Wickersham was very en- thusiastic over the survey of Dry Straits, and stated that the bill had passed before he left Washington and that a government engineer would be along in the early summer to start the survey, as the work will be done under the supervision of the war department So it bebooves we of Wraugell to give him every aid in our power on his ar Wrangell Sentinel.
 Born and brought up at Le Claire, Iowa, on the banks of the Mississippi, s. E. Lancaster took to steam boating as naturally as a duck to water He steam boated with such good will that be became a pilot on the Father of the Waters and saw much of the glory of river navigation before the railroads put the river traffic on tawdry freight business. In 1898 Mir. Lancaster felt the lure of the North, and, thinking he was tired of dodging suags and sand bars went to Dawson. where he put in few months prospecting. Not doing especially we'll in looking for gold, he gave attention to steam boating on the Yukon, and from 1899 to the present he has been one of the best known steam boat captains ofthat stream. Mir. Lan caster will sail for the North soon, as he is scheduled to bring the first boat down the river from Dawson following the break up of the ice, says the Seattle P.I. "Steam boating on the Yukon is just about the same proposition as 1t used to be on the Mississippi," said Mr. Lancaster. "The same snags and sand bars aud the same eddies and back waters aDd silent and endlessly moving flood of waters. ] was glad to make a visit to my old home at LeClaire, and was especially pleased to see the country enjoying such prosperity. The farmers there don't have to worry about hard times. as they all got big prices for their crops. Besides the grain and standard crops, great deal of live stock is raised there, and bumper prices were received for every hoof sold"

The power schooner Polar Bear, Capt Louis Lane, has left Seattle for an. other summers cruise in the Arctic. The little vessel will go as far east as Banks Land.
 Two months ago Roscoe Williams, 9 years old, a negro, picked up piece of wood near the Hotel Liberty, where he has been an inmate during the winter, and commenced to whittle with little penknife. He found a magazine cover depicting bucking horse with hardy cowboy cinging to it's back, and, using this as the object, the young man start ed to carve reproduction out of the piece of lumber. Within fifteen days, working at an average Of four hours day, he had completed the tedious un- dertaking. From the spurs under the COW puncher's shoes to the tip of the sombrero the carving is work of art, and Henry PauIy, manager of the Lib erty hotel, and others interested in the ability of the young man, see a bright future for him with the proper educa ton. Williams will leave for Alaska within few days to work in a cannery. He expects to save every cent possible and 10 return in the fall and go. to New York to take up the study of carving. The carving of the cowboy is only one a large nGmber ofWilliams' works with the penknite The knife and apiece of sand paper are the only things he uses in perfecting the carving. Williams came to- the Northwest about four years ago from Lawrence Kau., where his folks Hve,-SeattleP P: L.. 's
 The news from the Washington cor. respondent of the Post Intelligencer that the government has practically closed negotiations for the purchase of the Alaska Northern railway. and that government officials are on the way to Seattle to open the purchasing agency for the construction of the new railway lines, will be gratifying both'to'Alas. kans5 and Seattleites. It signifies that the long delayed help for Alaskai'is at hand; that the sleeping giant is dwak- oning; that soon the great treasury of nature will be unlocked aud it's stores of gold and silver, copbet aud coal and and other benedce5- will be brought 10 the uses of man. It seems apparent, from ashington adyiceg,' that Seward is to be terminus of one branc6 of the government railroad lines. The pur- chase price of the Alaska Northern railway, covering a line from Seward northward toward the Matanuska coal fields. is stated 10 be 8l,i50,O00. Under the decision of the attorney general, the president of the United States will be free to proceed with Alaska railroad plans to the full extent of theS35,000, GOO prescribed in the congressional act for Alaska railway production. With 8 cash appropriation of $3,000,00O avail able during the present year, this amount may be spent in construction of new lines, and existing lines may be purchased on the credit of the S35,000,. GOO provision. Seattle will feel the impetus of progress in government railway plans at once. The opening oI a purchasing agency here within a few days will be the material evidence of a new industrial and commercial life. Alaska Steaniship lines are carrying the first tide of new ciiizshs to tks Norlh.-P l.
