bought the freight and passenger liner Kansas City from the Union Iron Works at San Francisco a few months ago, and with the clos ing of negotiations just begun by Mir. Baxter in the East the com pany will enter the 1916 Alaska season with four new steamers.
 The purchase of the AToline will increase the Alaska fleet of the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company by three vessels, the Admiral line having purchased two freighters on the Great Lakes, which are now known as the steamers Admiral Se- bree and Admiral Clark. These vessels will reach Seattle in time to ald in moving the rush of freight to the NOrthland in the early spring.
 The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has purchased the steam CT RavalI from the Hammond Lum- Der Company and will operate her ia the Southeastern Alaska trade out os this port. The vessel is both freight and passenger car rier.
 The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany will have the fine freight and passenger carriers spokane and City Of Seattle on the Southeast cru Alaska route the coming sum mer, both improved by the in stailjpg of oil burning systems.

The vessel will resume her ser vice from this port to Southeastern Alaska soon after her arrival, ply tug in the freight and passenger trade.
 It was reported yesterday that the Humboldt Steamship Company negotiating for the purchase of another vessel, but the rumor could not be verified, as Max Kalish, vice president and general manager of the company, is in San Francis co.
 It was also said yesterday that the Border Line Transportation co. has plans for increased service this spring from Seattle to Southeast ern Alaska ports.
 Seattle's trade with Alaska dur ing 1915, according to the report of Port Warden Paysse, was valued at SAP. 21O,4S3, the largest in the history of the port, but it is free ly predicted that the commerce with the Northland during 1916 will he much greater, requiring ad- ditional vessels on both the South eastern and Southwestern Alaska routes.

International Questions.

international questions constitute one or the greatest known boons of the human race. International ques tions are so broad that they do not re guire any close reasoning ln order to express opinions about them That Is their great beauty. One can strike in almost anywhere without any great danger of hitting bottom. and one can say almost anything about nn interua tionaI question without being called 10 accouu, except by some one who is equally unreliable Local questions are ruitp different in that respect Local questions are much more prOsaic and less romantic. One must be surer of his data and more consistent in his conclusion. In explaining local Ques tiOns there k always danger that the man you are explaining tO knows more about the matter than you do yourself If you must make ignorant statements do it in the way that best COnceals your j-uoraucc.-.Iice

ed in a shooting affray at Adamsville,

Norwood was literally shot to pieces,
having two wounds in the face, two
in the chest and one in the stomach.
J. N. PUNK was shot twice in the neck
and F. M. PUNK was shot near the
heart and in right arm. The wounded

climb hand over hand up the chain.
He reached the window after much
eXertion, and removed the chain from
his neck. Medical assistance was has

attended.
His injuries we're not so serious as
at first thought, and he is recovering
