THE NEWT SESSION OF CONGRESS

Congress will again convene next Monday, December 4. and although this will be what is known the short session. there promises to be considerable legislation enacted along the lines outlined by Presi- Wilson and other national leaders of the Demo cratic party during the presidential campaign. While there may not be a great Of strictly new legislation steps will be taken amend laws already in force so as to make them more workable and effective
 So far as Alaska is concerned Congress will be asked to make appropriation Of $lOOOOOOO for the continuation of the constructing the govern. railroad and there no reason to believe that the appropriation will not be made. This is the view expressed by Chairman Edes Of the Alaska Engn- eering Commission, in an interview recently in a Seattle newspaper. NIr Edes also quoted stating that was expected that the railroad would be com. peted to Fairbanks in l9l9 This includes only the building of the trunk line and does take into con sideration the branch lines have received some consideration. An important contingency in the build ing of subsidiary railroad lines is whether there will be enough left of the original authorization thirty five million dollars-tor that purpose.
 lt is also believed tha; an additional appropra- ton will be made for the construction of a public building at Juneau the need of it having been com pleely demonstrated to the Appropriations Committee as well as the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds Other legislation is needed for Alaska such as increasing the powers Of the Territorial Legisla ture and the enlargement of it's power would natur ally include control of the schools fisheries game etc, which ndubitably belong to the Territory and which. therefore should be administered by it and not by Congress and a multiplicity Of bureaus thou sands Of miles distant from the Territorial seat of government.

 Now that the election is over the New York Tribune thus unburdens itself of the candidate whom 1t supported because he was the Republican nominee
 "A world was on fire; abroad the whole fabric of human society in the throes Of a tremendous struggle; home the very foundations of our unity and our existence were threatend. And in the face of all this the 10 whom we had turned Tor de- liverance could find no braver word and no lotuer sentiment than those which have fallen from the lips of cartai orators since political campaigns began

 The Tribune knew all this before the election
 It knew that Mir. Hughes steadiastly refused to declare himself in the ways that no one more than the Tribune implored him declare himself
 It knew that Mir. Hughes had placed himself and his campaign in the hands not of Progressive sympa- thizers, but of the Mark Hanna element of the Re publican party.
 It knew that there was nothing in Mir. Hughes record indicate any sympathy on his part with the
 It knew moreover that on the very issues on which b implored in vain Mir Hughes to declare him Wilson did declare himself freely and boldly and in a manner that would have satisfied and de- lighted 1t if the declarations had been made by Mir. Hughes instead of by Mir Wilson
 The Tribune further knew that the real Progress siye candidate before the people the opponent of Mir.

 The Tribune, in short is of the most striking and pathetic of those victims of partsanship who cannot or dare not break the bonds and disown the name of a political party that no longer means any thing to them than name and habit

ALASKA TOURIST TRAVEL
lSeaLtle PosL.InlelIIgencerl

The proposed construction in Seattle oi two new siXeen-knot steamers for the White Pass Yukon Route is meet the transportation demands occas- toned by the very great increase of Alaska tourist traffic. The Yukon river route by which passengers are conveyed from Seattle to Skagway, thence by rail to Whitehorse and thence by $500 mile trip down the lakes and river the west coast of Alaska attracted nearly double the number of tourists this season that trayersed the route last year
 For some years the freight and passenger ser vice Of Fairbanks and Interior Alaska has been handled by this route through the of navigation. The construction of the government railway from Seward to Fairbanks places the latter city only 500 miles by rail from the seaboard No doubt. it's comple- ton in 19l9 the railway will carry the bulk of Central Alaska's freight traffic. and large portion of the everyday passenger business.
 But the increasing tide of tourists will continue to make the Yukon trip and furnish business for the passenger lines out Of Seattle in the Skagway trade Confidence in this is indicated by the proposed con- struction of additional river steamers
 Alaska tourist traffic is, and will continue to be, large 10 Seattle for the reason that it the Alaska gateway, the mobilization point for thou. sands Of travellers of wealth. culture and influence who become Seattle and Alaska boosters" upon re- turning home.

ALASKA FOR ALAsKANs
Seward Gateway)


 The first duty before the Democrats of Alaska is to insist that no man who is not persona grata the Territorial Democratic organization should be permitted to hold office here The members of the party all should agitate and keep agitatng against carpetbaggers. The National Democratic party has not wholly lived up to the Democratic plat. form in this respect The Democratic National Com mitteeman Mir. Donohue, will probably be passenger to Valdez today and it may be permissible to remind him that the Democrats look to him to do his duty by letting the Administration know that Aaskans will insist on running their own affairs and admin stering the laws of their own Territory. There are offices be filled that must be filled by Aaskans and there are offices already filled which must be vacated by the present ncumbents If the Democrats cannot supply the proper tO fill the vacancies give us Alaskan Republicans, but give Alaskans.
 Come on, now; Let all get down to work. Let the voice of Alaska be heard in one resoundng shout Of one harmonious tone Let the National ad- minstration and all carpetbaggers know that the principle of Alaska for Alaskans" is empty shib- boeth Let them know that Alaska will not stand any longer to be governed by some contemptous Senator or Congressman back down south Alaskans have their rights and they must have them recognized if Alaskans true to themselves

ALASKA FLOUR MILLS

According to a Fairbanks newspaper mill for the turning of wheat raised in the Panama Valley into flour has been constructed in that district The sig nificance or this lies in the fact that the mill is designed to grind local wheat and, ergo the Fairbanks district is potentially wheat raising Ter ritory
 The Fairbanks flour mill, however. was not the first be built in the Territory According tra- dton f not history the Russians operated flour mill at Sitka. although it did not mill native wheat This was grown in California and strange as it may seem shipped the old Russian capital and turned into flour The Fairbanks mill however. may safely lay claim to the honor Of being the first mill that kind to into flour wheat grown and matured in the Territory Let be hoped that the Fairbanks flour mill be the precursor Of many others

 You look about the city and find properties far less desirable than your own satisfactory tenanted, and bringing to their owners profits on their invest ment
 Is there any doubt about the possibility of find ing a tenant for your property-assuming that 1t is desirable, good value. and well advertised?
 To fail to advertise properly, in the face of pended rental income from it. is a confession that the property is not renabe through advertising. And that would be to confess that 1t is held for too high a rental, or that 1t is badly located, that for other reason it would not appeal to discriminating people
