 ED IN ALASKA

MT. Wm. Semar, who arrived yesterday, accompanied by Mrs. Se- mar from an extended business trip to the states, when asked of the condition found, particularly in Seattle, said that the city never looked more prosperous than at the present time.

SAFETY FIRST.

Safety first" appears to be the slogan on the waterfront nowadays. After all the arrangements had been made whereby MT. Kubley was to have been given lease in the new building of the Ketchikan Wharf Company, for his picture show house, the company, consider ing the safety of the patrons of the house paramount to the interest of Mir. Kubley, repudiated it's partly made up contract and refused to grant the lease as first agreed upon.
 The space that was to make up the picture show house will be re- modelled and rented for other busi- ness less dangerous to the safety of the patrons. The reason given for the change of mind is said to be the possibility of the large boats in making their approaches of driving into the billings, the foundation of the building, and en- dangering the life of the occupants of the theatre. Tentative comprom. lse was made without avail.

Mississippi Senator Attacks Admins.
tratiOn for Its Alleged I'm.
neutral Policy.

Washington, March 9.-Senator
vardaman, Democrat, of Mississippi
made an attack on the administra-
tons course in international affairs,
on the floor of the senate today.
He emphatically declared that a
resolution warning Americans off bel
ligerent ships should be passed. He
scored the administration for forcing
congress to take the action 1t did on
the Gore and McLemore resolutions.
The vote on the Gore resolution. ne
said, was a vote of obedience, and not
one of confidence. The administra-
ton acts have indicated it is not neu-
trail, he said. He declared the belief
that it inclined to the entente allies
against the central powers.
He closed by declaring he would
stand by the president as long as ne
believed he was right but he would
not hesitate to vote against
him when he believed him t. be
wrong.
