SEATTLE IS BACKING
 KETCHIKAN IN FISH FIGHT

The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee to investigate the hali- but fishing conditions and to make recommendations regarding the leg islation and regulations that might be required to prevent the fishing trade of Alaska going to Prince Ru- pert. The members of the commit tee are as follows: J. c. Ford, T. J. German, James A. Haight, Maurice D. Leehey and J. L. 'McPherson.
 The appointment of the committee was the result of a meeting at which J. J. Daly, H. c. Strong and J. c. Bar ger of Ketchikan, addressed the mem- bers of the Alaska Bureau with ref erence to the loss of a great deal of the fishing trade by American towns to Prince Rupert.
 H. c. Strong. speaking before the meeting said: "If American fishermen are com- pelled to land their halibut at Ketch- ikan, the Grand Trunk Pacific rail-
 road will send to that city for it's shipments. Ketchikan fishermen will then benefit >ecause the fishermen will buy their ice, boxes and outfits at Ketchikan. They are now doing this in Prince Rupert and $1,0O0,000 per year goes to that port from the American fishermen"
 J. c. Barber said the halibut busi- ness could not be held in Seattle any longer because the halibut banks are so far away, but that 1t might be con- tered in Ketchikan by proper legis- lation and the restoration of the duty. Most of the fishing boats going out clear from Ketchikan now," he said.
 T. J. German expressed as his opin- ion that if terminal rates were grant, ed to Ketchikan by the American railroads and Alaska-Seattle vessels equipped with -refrigerating facilities, Ketchikan could hold the halibut in- dustry.

 WINS MACHINE Lucky Number is Held by Proprietor of Roadhouse Out on the Val
 dez.Fairabnks Road.

Knute Nafstad, who conducts the roadhouse at upper Tonsina bridge on the Valdez Fairbanks road, won the new Ford machine for which tickets have been issued with pur- chases by the various business houses in Valdez during the past two months. Ticket No. 3113 was the lucky num- Der. 60
 The drawing took place at the mas Querade ball given by the. Pioneers of Alaska at Eagle Hall on New Years night and was one of the most inter- esting features of the evening.
 Twelve thousand numbered tickets had been issued and there were few men in Valdez who failed to be the holder of at least one or two tickets, while some few held hundreds of chances.
 Duplicates of the twelve thousand tickets issued were placed in box which was thoroughly shaken, every one interested being afforded an op-  portunity of shaking the box which contained their chances of winning the machine. The tickets were drawn from the box promptly at midnight by Alice Egan and as the numbers were announced the holders of tick cts eagerly scanned their lists.
 Ticket No. 3113 was the fifth ticket drawn from the box and was declar- ed the winning number. In order to provide against the possibility of the winner failing to appear to claim his prize other tickets were drawn, Nos. 1043, 11,230, 2224 and 1879 being the tenth, fifteenth, twentieth and twenty-fifth respectively.

There is nothing better suited to the
sports-coats of winter than the chin
chilla fur fabrics, which are manufac-
tured in white as we'll as colors, and
in some mixtures. They are practi-
cal as well as bright and snowy, and
are made up in plain models and in
handsome fur-trimmed garments as
well.
For skating, caps to match are made
of the material, quite often combined
with some other fabric or with fur.
The very dressy skating costumes,
made of velvet or plush and fur
trimmed, offer many suggestions for
making up the more matter-of-fact
chinchilla coats and caps. They are
modelled most attractively on Russian
lines, which are incomparably smart
for really wearable outdoor clothes.

barrett would have hated to have
had Lorna know what he was plan
ming to do. They had been engaged
for year, and were to be married a
year later. The young man had a
good position, but he found himself
on the eve of his vacation with exact
ly twenty-five dollars too little. He
wanted to spend two glorious weeks
at Lornas home town. With his pres
emit capital he could spend but one.
He felt willing to do almost any
thing for twenty-five dollars. Conse-
quently, when he saw in an ADVERTISE
ment that strong young man, not
afraid of lions, was wanted at the
| menagerie Immediately, he hurried
away as fast as he could go. He had
an idea that he could raise that twen-
ty-five dollars within the first week
Of his three, leaving him two with
Lorna.
AS he waited outside the tent the
manager, a heavy man with an I'M
shaver jowl and black mustache,
came out and stood surveying the as
semblage with a sneering glare. Then
his eyes fell upon barrett, and he
smiled.
"Ill take you, young feller," he said.
BEAT it, the rest of youse."
Slowly and without spirit the bag
gard-eyed ones dispersed. The man
ager called barrett inside the tent,
where Notwithstanding indiyid-
ual stood with downcast eyes.
"You amt afraid to tackle the
lions, hey?" he asked.
