MRS. HAInSE"T Is
 MRS. PINkERTON

Mrs. b. H. Shultz, of Phoenix. Ariz.. announces the engagement ol her sister, Mrs NJ Holmes Halset to Mr. W. T. Pinkerton, of Fairbanks. Alaska, The wedding will take place the first of February
 Mrs. Halset is in the city at the present time. the guest of Miss Pau line Lane"
 The foregoing announcement will have the effect of setting at rest the rumors regarding the name of the lady who, on February 1, in Seattle, became the bride of W. r Pinkerton, the well known Fairbanks freighter and expressman, who went Outside in December. It was clipped from a Seattle paper of January i.
 few days ago letters received in Fairbanks from the Outside told of the wedding of MT. Pinkerton, but did not state the name of his bride. The friends and well wishers of both will therefore be greatly surprised to learn that the new Mrs. Pinkerton is a former Fairbanks lady, one who lived here for many years.
 Just when the newlyweds will ar rive here from the Outside is not known, but it is supposed that they will come in this spring over the trail and continue to make their residence here.

LOWER WHARFAGE RATES
 REQUESTED FOR COAST

in favor ol the heavier shipper tHear- ings ?. 160.
 In the matter of interstate ship ments of this kind. rebiued al Seat tie. the Attorney for the Alaska Steamship Company and the Copper River & Northwestern Railway said, at page 15i. Hearings:
 Mr. BogIe. Yes. because they were local shipments no. the ship ment of th.s cattle from Oregon Is not local shipment. a through shipment that comes into Seattle by rail under a through tariff, the steam ship company advances he railroad charges thee. and it comes on just as you see on these bills When if gets here Jhe same ,hins is done, if it Is to be forwarded by the Copper River G Northwestern Company II is the universal practice everywhere. But these cannery shipments apply 10 local shipments alone water ship ments-not through rates
 In other words. a contract re bate shipper rebIrs at Seattle, the Steamship Company rebhlinE for him (p. 291. Hearmgs). and advances the rail charge. The freight is then re billed, say to the Carlisle Cannery al Cordoya. at a S6 rate. whereas a Cordoya merchant on the same goods from the same house, in the United States, via Seattle. must pay T S14 rate to the same destination at Cordova. The Carlisle Cannery thus has discriminatory rate of $500 against the non-contracJing shipper of $14. And all this in the trans portaton of interstate traffic
 (4). THE VALDEZ WHARF RATES.
 This wharf is alongside of a mu- niripaI wharf maintained by the pub lie. The maximum rate charged at the municipal dock for freight com ing ashore from the Alaska Steam ship Company vessels is seyenty-fiye cents, and il decreases, according to the standard. to twenty-five cents. The rate al the Valdez Dock Com pany is a minimum of $1G0 per ton, and increases according to tariff to several dollars per ton CHearings p. 26o). The town established rates by ordinance and provided iii landing at it's dock. but in combination with the owner of the Valdez Dock Com pany, the Steamship Company re- fused to land at the municipal dock Shippers demanded to have their freight landed at the municipal dock, where they could secure the lower rates, but were denied.
 Counsel for the Steamship Com pany conceded (Hearings ?. 261) that on through interstate shipments of freight over this wharf to the mer- chants of Valdez, the Commission has the jurisdiction and may fix the just and reasonable wharfage rates These rates ought to be established not higher than those on the mu- nicipal dock alongside and the wharf age rates at Cordova may be taken as furnishing the items to cover There should be a table of just and reasonable wharf rates made for both Cordoya and Valdez in connection with the tariff of just and reasonable transportation rates to those ports The wharfage at both places must be paid before interstate freight can be transported across the wharves The present rates are unjust and unreasonable and should be reduced to equal the Valdez municipal rate"

t2). MINING COMPANY CONTRACT
 RATE SYSTEM.

RE SIS em.
 The TreadweI Mining Company, on demand (page 4SS. Hearines). aled in this cause as Complainants Exhibit No. %, -, a copy of its secret contract with the Pacific Coas, Steamship Co.. for special rates. This contract is dated December II, 1915. and was to run for tho year 1916. It differs n form from the cannep rebate contract but amounts. sub -tanually. to the same thing.
 The Treadwen Company runs 8 large mercantile establishment ar Treadwel. opposite Douglas and just across tho Gasrneau Chanel, d mile from Juneau X fifteen-min- u,e ferry connects these towns, and thus the Treadweu store is in direct and active competition with the Doug las and Juneau stores. Complain ants Exhibit No. g is a certified copy of the last application for the Tr,adwall store for q license under he Act of Congress requiring mer- chants in Alaska to pay business license tax based upon the amount of their sales. The Act of Congress, q. Stat. l.. 331. provides that mer- cantile establishments doing a busi- ness of a hundred thousand dollars per annum shall pay license of five hundred dollars per annum. That is the highest amount mentioned, and the highest license paid, and even if merchant does a million dollars business per annum he pays no more than five hundred dollars. The Treadwen Company pays on the maximum, but how much busi- ness it does above $10o,00O is not known. (Bradley, P. 432, Hearings) Nr. Bradley says there are about 1900 people working for his com pany, and with their families, it is probable that four times that many trade at the company store.
 "Now the Treadwell store gets its merchandise via Seattle for a $3 flat rate, while the merchants at Douglas and Juneau pay from $750 to S9.5O. And this discrimination in favor of the Treadwen Company eX- tends to interstate freight rebilled al Seattle (P. 427-429 Hearings).
 f3) cANNERY REBATES AT COR.
 DOVA
 It is in evidence that the Carlisle cannery freight at Cordoya is deliy- cred under the cannery or rebate form of contract for $6 per ton, while the merchants who receive their freight on the same wharf tIdl u lIIt NtHItAOli Nbppti NOl- poration railroad-pay $14 per ton.
 Another discrimination was not ed by the merchants at Cordova in the fixing of minimum rates. The rate in the early part of 1916 was fixed so that the small merchant paid on one ton $11, on two tons $1O, on five tons $9, and on ten tons S8 per ton. This rate applied on shipments from Portland via rail to Seattle and thence to Cordoya, the railroad being added This rate was changed by the steamship com panies on April l. 1916, by fixing minimum of fifteen tons, or 3O000 pounds. For any quantity less than fifteen tons the rate is now S125O from Seattle, plus Portland rail rate, on flour. sugar and other staple articles. Thus discriminating against the small independent shipper and

Cholera Morbus.

This is a very painful and dan gerous disease. In almost every neighborhood someone has died from it before medicine could be obtained or a physician summon ed.

MINING AND DREDGING
 EDITION POSTPONED

In answer to numerous inquiries re- lative to the Nuggets annual publica-
 ton, the Mining and Dredging Edition,
 the publisher announces that the
 journal will not appear this fall. After
 survey of the situation it has been
 decided to publish the ma azine in the
 navigation and this rule will be fol-
 lowed in issuing all future editions.
 The great press of business during the
 fall months has at all times rendered
 the task of publishing the magazine
 one of great difficulty. Not only is 1t hard to find time to secure the neces- sary information but in haste and rush marking the last days of the season it is practically impossible to cover the field thoroughly as is desired. It has been the aim of the publishers at all times to make the magazine as full ly comprehensive of the local field as possible, overlooking no Item or lnfor- nation relative to the mining condi-
 tions and activities of Seward Penin-
 sula that would be of interest to the public. Although attaining a fair de- gree of success in this respect in the past. the magazine has at all times fallen short Of what was desired ow- ing 10 the impossibilIty of entirely covering the field during the late fall. Under the new plan it will be possible to fully accomplish this purpose. By issuing in the Spring the publisher will have ample opportunity to thoroughly cover every field of endeavor and also avoid all inaccuracies due to haste and

everyone right worthy of the name of hero.
 Their quest was fruitless and dis appointing but they have done all that was humanly possible to do and won the admiration and thanks of the good people of Nome by their splendid dis play of courage and unsclfish devotion to duty.
 And not alone are the thanks of the community due to Capt Ross and his companions. but also to those who at tended the mass meeting Tuesday night and voiced their insistance that the dictates of mercy and humanity be placed above selfishncss and private interest.
 Thanks are also due in equal degree to the men who composed the commit tee appointd to seize upon the only available means of rescue, regardless of the rights or objections of others.
 Although sharing none of the trials and dangers of the search. they pro- ceeded to their task with the same firm courage and determination to do their duty as did the others.
 Each and all are fully entitled to share in the need of praise and thanks bestowed by the community on the re- lief party as it was largely by and through their efforts that the eXpedi- tion was made possible.
