The Following Firm Carries Fuers Paints Varnishes
 BROWN & HAWKINS CORP SEWARD, ALASKA
PIONEER GROCER
 SELLS BUSINESS
 TOP. |. M MULLEN

Announcement was made this after noon that a deal had been consum mated whereby P. c. McMullen takes over the interests and business of Gus Borgen, in the pioneer concern main tained here for so many years by MT. Borgen. It is understood that MT Mo Mullen takes possession at once, Mir Borgen retaining all accounts up to today.
 Mr. Borgen will remain in Seward about three weeks, in order to settle up his accounts, and will then leave for California to join his family. MT Borgen has been identified with the growth of the Territory since 1898, having first located in Nome, where he conducted a mercantile business up to his removal to Seward. He is a progressive, live wire, and Seward will greatly miss him.
 The new owner, P. c. McMullen, is we'll known in Seward, where he has been in business for several years, being a partner in the Seward Drug Company and other enterprises. At the present time he is serving Seward as councilman. He is a good busi- ness man and has many warm friends here.

DECISION 0N RELOCATION
 OF ALASKA OIL CLAIMS

Attention is called to the following decision of the Secretary of the In terior with regard to the relocation of oil lands upo nwhich the time limit, ations for prospecting work have ex- pired:
 "Prior to the cancellation by the Commissioner of the General
 Land Office of an outstanding oil
 and gas prospecting permit and
 notation thereof upon the records
 of the local land office, no other
 person will be permitted to gain
 any right to permit for the same
 class of deposits by the filing of
 an application, or by the posting
 of a notice of intention to apply
 for such a permit"
 This means that the provisions of law whereby mineral claims have been relocated immediately upon the expiration of the time required fol the performance of annual assessment work does not apply to oil land loca tions, and therefore, it would be use less for one to locate and apply fol a prospecting permit before the ori ginal permit has been officially can celled.

FISH SOLD AT PRINCE
 RUPERT MAY PAY DUTY

JUNEAU: American fish sold at Prince Rupert cannot be reshipped in to the United States without the pay ment of two cents a pound duty, after having been stored, frozen, salted or otherwise preserved, but it must be treated as foreign fish when it comes back into this country, said Collector J. c. Mcbride, based upon advices re ceived from the department of treas ury.
 After reciting the conditions tha; tain in Prince Rupert, the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury says:
 Fish which are sold in foreign ports to American or foreign inter ests are not entitled to free entry un less they are shipped immediately to the United Stats, without having been stored, frozen, salted, dried or other wise preserved for the reason that by such sale and preservative treatment the fish would become so far mingled with foreign commerce as to deprive them of their status as the product o1 American fisheries"
 On receipt of advices that fish would be charged a tax of two cents a pound, reduced the selling price two cents pound less than the market price, causing the fishermen te pay the duty.

 "Cowardly and dishonorable" were the words which Wilson used in speaking of his contempt of the for eign policy America has pursued ill the late war
 The United States" he said, "has turned its back upon the world in shameful manner, withdrawing into sullen and shameful isolation, which is deeply ignoble because manifestly dishonorable."

MANY WOMEN FILE
 EXEMPTION CLAIMS

The Anchorage Times states that of the twenty-two women of Anchorage and vicinity, whose names were drawn on the panel for the petit jury to serve at Valdez, eleven took advan- tage of the law permitting exemption because of sex
 Very few Seward women drawn on the jury claimed exemption, although half of the men so drawn were ex- cused on one ground or another.
 Many officials throughout the terri tory are trying to work up sentiment against women jurors, for claiming exemption but fail to tell of the large number of men who are excused from duty.
