INTERESTS IDENTICAL.

 "The interest in Alaska of those engaged in the and mining men, those engaged in numbering, home steaders trade" said c. S. Harley in discussing the idea of bringing those who follow the fisheries and others of Southeastern Alaska closer touch with each other. And that is true Whatever peo- pie might think those engaged in the fisheries indus try greatly concerned in the perpetuation of that industry.
 The straits to which the fishermen the Puget Sound country, both the American and the Ca nadian sides of the line, being placed account of the depleted supply of fish is lesson that Alas kans must take to heart. If the people of, British Columbia State of Washington had begun ply years ago they probably would not now be considering complete suspension of salmon fishing for four-year period.
 We gaining a fishing population in Alaska We do lose it sometime because of the exhaustion of the supply of fish. Nor do those whose money is invested in fisheries equipment and who have trained organizations in the fisheries business want to have their investments scrapped and their organizations dispersed because of lack of fish.
 The interest those in the fish business and those who engaged in other pursuits, which de- pend in large measure support from those in the fish business. identical in this respect.
 The fishermen and those who have their money invested in fisheries industry also interested in seeing prosperous and modern cities developed in Alaska. They only make a market for the fish but they afford those who live here the advantages of modern institutions of civilization. permanent prosperous and contented population in Alaska is of the best safeguards the man with capital in- vested in this Territory have for it means long life for investments and competent management and service.

They hav' come to tell their neighbors about it, simply, mod estly, plainly and to tell why there is need of hell over there, and what manner of help it should be. It was stroke of genius for psychology that devised the plan of gathering these fifty boys iron many States and from every part of the long battle line and bringing them home to tell their story They to ask Americans to back liberally iron their bounty the bonds that shall provide shells to win this

SULZER WILL WIN.

It is now apparent that the full primary returne will show that Sulzer had votes than those cast for the other three candidates, Maoney, Wick ersham and Connolly.
 This fact clearly points to the territorial popu- larity of MT Sulzer and it his election al the polls in November beyond a doubt
 Many will tell you that this primary election will tell one nothing of the probable indication of the vote in the fall; that the Wickersham vote did not get out Don't believe it; the Wick" vote out stronger than any other vote and the fact that ii was to large extent counted for Maloney will not hinder a large part of them from voting for Wick efsham in the fall
 On the other hand the Republican voters whc stayed away from the polls at the primaries vii vote in the fall and will vote for Sulzer

More Than Paid the Debt,

Some of us will give a second thought to the extraordinary achieve ment of a congregation in Geneva, N. Y, which first built with reckless ex- travagance q massive graystone church and then adopted the tithing system to get them out of their diff culty. The story is told in Outlook. When the church was dedIcated-lf that is the right word-the debt was $S2,000, and the weekly budget S230. The weekly income was less than $100. In two years the debt has been re- duced to $40000 and the weekly in- come is $500. Of the 1000 members $50 are tithers. A tither sets aside One-tenth of his income for Christian activities. The blessings of happiness and prosperity which have attended the people are remarkable. Many thrilling stories are told. Some church leaders are deeply impressed by the success of the system and they are ad- voCRting it as a financial policy Christian Register.
