AN OPPORTUNITY

1 have received instructions to sell all the portrait negatives and certain equipment and furniture of the Alex ander photographic studio. A list of the articles for sale will be found at the Seward Drug store, Hettels, and Brown & Hawkins.
 The late Clyde Alexander was a portrait photographer of the first rank. He was chief operator for James & Bushnell of Seattle, for seven years, and during his career won several medals at different ex- positions.
 There are only two studios on the coast that approach the quality of his work, and negative taken and re- touched by him is worth having. By having the negative you can have any number of prints made from it by any ordinary photographer at low cost The negatives of studio are it's capi- tai and are never sold except under the present condition, and this oppor- tunity you should not miss. To get the negatives of the picture you had taken, communicate with D. C.. Brownell, before April 1, 1917.

WASHINGTON, Friday, March 23. Herbert A. Meyer, recently named assistant secretary of the interior and given administrative control of the government railroad in Alaska, was not only secretary to Franklin K. Lane, but to his predecessor, Walter Fisher, when the latter was secretary of the interior.
 In no way does he supplant the AL askan Engineering Commission, which is building the road under Secretary Lane, but his position will be one an- alogous to that of assistant to the president of a railroad with the au- thority to act for Secretary Lane in most of the questions presented by the engineering commission.

Use of the Seward General hospi- tsS and the services of the medical staff of the institution, including all of the physicians ana surgeons of the city have been rendered to the Red Cross service for use by the govern ment in event of war.
 It is not probable that land or naval engagements will occur in this vici- nitv in event of war with Germany, bue it is not beyond the possibilities that some sea raider might in days to come be rounded up and sent to the bottom in the waters of the North Pacific, close enough to Seward to make it advantageous to bring the wounded heye.

lapidary, and the cunning workman
ship Of the goldsmiths. A $4,000

enamel, Mexican opals and small dia-
