more money than Seward paid for the entire Territory. From the stand point of production, Alaska pays back to the United States every year about 500 per cent on the investment.
 Alaska shipped to the United States last year metals and fish valued at $56 6,335,OO4. Its trade with the Unit ed States, most of which was tran sacted in Seattle, amounted to more than $8O,OOO,OOO, and there is little doubt that this year the aggregate trade of the Territory with or through this city will amount to $l00,000,0 ,00O
 During the forty-nine years that Alaska has been in the possession of the United States, it has produced in noble and commercial metals, fish and furs, $589 ,550591. This does not in- clude the production for any part of the present year, which, it is estimat- ed, will aggregate considerably more than $5O,OOOOOO.
 For number of vcars after Alaska passed into the possession of the United States tho Territory was with out any form of civil or military gov ernment worthy the name, and, at one time, after making fruitless ap- peals for assistance to prevent ore dations of the Aleut Indians, a group of fur traders offered to buy the Ter ritory from the government for the price which was paid for it, with interest. The offer, fortunately for the people of the United States, was declined.
 Next year Alaska will celebrate the frtieth anniversary of the purchase by a number of fairs which will be held in all the towns of Alaska, and it IS probable that a large number of cHgmsionists will visit the Territory

FORD'S LETTER

The following is the letter sent to President Wilson by Judge Ford who was here this summer:
 "Oct. 10, 1916.
 "The Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the
 White House, Washington, D. C.:
 Dear Mir. President: You will per haps recall, at the Press club dinner in New York, l told you that was seriously thinking of voting for you. well, after months of deliberation, including two months in the solitudes of Alaskan mountains, have finally concluded to do so.
 Since my first vote for Blaine, in 1884, have consistently voted for the republican candidates for presi- dent, including Mr. Taft in 1912. BuC this is an election which demands of every citizen the casting off of par tisan ties and a merciless search of conscience to determine how his vote may mselfshly and honestly be cast to serve best the interests of the Umtcd States of America, without re- gard to the effect it may have upon any other country or any foreign in- terest.
 I have endeavorcd to bring my mind to view the issues from such standpoint and have concluded that it's my patriotic duty to vote for you.
 Tn my opinion, it would be most un- wis, to change the national admins uauon in the midst of this unprecc- dented world crisis.

ALASKA'S BIRTHDAY
(Seattle Times, Oct. 1S)

Forty-nine years ago today at New Archangel, now Sitka, a Russian Princess wept as the Stars and Stripes for the first time in history futtered to breeze in the Territory of Alaska. The Princess Matsoukof knew at that time what many Americans were 10th to believe-that one of Russia's most priceless possessions was passing into the hands of the United States.
 The unfurIing of the American flag by Gen. l.. II. Rosseau marked the consummation of the bargain where by Uncle Sam bought the Territory of Alaska for $32OO,OOO. It was the conclusion of a deal made by Secre- tary of State William II. Seward and called by his enemies, Stewards Treacherous Purchase"
 Flags from various office buildings in Seattle today proclaimed the an niversary.
 The purchase or Alaska was one of the most profitable real estate invest ments in American history. Seward knew this, for he had visited the Ter ritory, but few others believed him, and he was greatly condemned for having involved the nation in an un- profitable and foolish bargain.
 But Stewards judgment is being vindicated every day. One single town in Alaska, Cordova, every month ships to the United States in copper

New Hotel Talk

Although plans and discussion
are vet of very tentative charac-
ter, it is possible that Waimea
may, at no distant date, have a
fine, new hotel. 1t appears that
the land included in a part of the
present hotel premises is much
needed by HofgaaId & Co. for
their lumber business. and may be
taken over at any time. A proposal
has, therefore, been evolved to
erect a new and more commodious
hotel on a lot belonging to Mr..
Brandt near the beach below the
bank. As stated above. however,
the matter is still i'll an unsettled
state and for the present nothing
of a positive nature can be given
out.

STEAMERS TO Be
CHANGED AROUND

The proposal has been semi
officially advanced from Honolulu
to take the Kinau off the Lihue-
Waimea end of her present route
and to put her on the old w. G..
Halls route, making two trips a
week to Nawiliwili and Ahukini,
from Honolulu. The steamer
Maui. which recently took the
w. G. Halls route, would, under
this arrang cement, be transferred
to that part of the route between
Nawiliwili and Waimea, taking
the present run of the Kinau.
The argument advanced in favor
of this scheme is that it would
make OF the Kinau a twice a-week
boat in place of a weekly as at
present Gust what the captain and
purser of the Kinau will do about
it. however, has not vet been
learned). Moreover. it would give
the larger boat to the larger freight
end of the island-the Lihue side.
A third argument advanced is that
most passengers leave from Nawi-
Twill anyhow.
Just what the people of the
Waimea end of the island will say
to all this has not yet developed.
1t is hardly likely that they will
relish the idea of apparently going
backward in place of forward in
the matter of steamer accommoda-
tions, and a great big kick NAV
reasonably be expected.
1t is understood that the pro.
posal. has been sent over for the
o. X. of certain par ties which, if
obtained. will set the new system
going.

The first set was an easy victory
for the visitors who got it with
a score of 6-l, the home team ap-
pal emily taking the opportunity to
warm up.
In the second set however, play
ing was very close, practically
each player getting her serve

Some very fine back-hand returns
on the part of Mrs. Schultze were
responsible for a number of points
in favor of her side, while toward
the end close net PLAYING by Miss
Waterhouse drew the score TO 7 S
