son, Mississippi. and Honorable w.

given the movement his approval.
The Finance Committee on Educa-
tional Endowment will be appointed
by the Grand Lodge next July with

Der 81. 1881, the Lodge expects to

Final performance will be given
today. by Jimmie Evans and his
entertaining company. Owing to
public demand four complete shows
will be given: 2, 4, 6 and o'clock.
Better and better seems to be the
verdict of the patrons at each sue
cessive show, and that they have
caught the public fancy has been
amply attested by the large audiences
that have been drawn to the Opera
House throughout the week.
That the bevy of attractive girls,
in the artistic ballet, with solo dane
ing, set off by skilful lighting effects,
and harmonizing scenery carry a
charm of their own which is most
beautiful and ingratiating, combined
with Jackie Flynns clever interpre-
tations of modern dance steps. inter-
spersed with many original ones
are a joy indeed. Evyln Parr and

Election day is nearly upon us. Have you given candidates and is- sues the consideration they deserve? Voting is something more than lucre cross and the depositing of ballot. If you have an idea, firmlyy fixed, that the packing combine, as it is operating, is an Alaska enter prise and of material aid to Alaska, vote for it through the Independent (?) ticket. If you think that the salmon traps are snaring devices by which Alaska fishermen are bene- fitted and Alaska homes are built, vote for traps through the Indepen- dent CD ticket. If you want the e:ected officials to follow the dictate o1 tourist capitalists and the bank ing interests, by all means mark your ballot for the Independent CD candidates. If you harbor a feel ing that the fertilizer trust is help ing the herring situation in the least hit, vote for more of this kind of help by making your cross before the names of the Independent (?) candidates. If it suits you to have two million dollar pay rolls in Seat tie instead of Alaska, you'll find sat isfaction in voting for Marquam and other Independents. CD If it it strikes you that 1t is all Okey to
 be the bootstraps of the fnanciers of Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago and New York, then Okey the Inde-
 pendent CD ticket. If you foster the thought that the imported labor, under contract ironbound and steel fastened, is just about proper, say
 it with marks on the Independent l(?) ticket. Tn fact, if you don't care for yourself nor for your coun- try's resources, vote up the Indepen-

A DEMOCRAT SAYS

We have fallen into shifty op- rortunism, seizing every fad of the ,Homent, yielding to every pressure from Hobbies and galleries, veering to every wind that seemed to pro rlise popularity, regardless of the direction from which it blew. We have permitted the great Democrat ic party to be degraded and used by a small alien faction merely as an instrument of annoyance and h;ndrance to the administration"
 This from thespeech of one of the Senators seems to have been said with an idea of the conduct of the Tenn ocratic party in Alaska which engineered the filing of Frank Boyle for Delegate to Congress at the pri- maries in order to defeat Adams of Nome. There was no intention on the part of Boyle to run in the final No, ember election. It was the plan from the beginning to sell out the party in favor of the independent candidate.
 "Shifty opportunism, seizing ev cry fad of the moment" they smoke screen the issues with literacy test: with denunciation and discrediting of Delegate Sutherland They have degraded" the Democratic party by accepting "slush" funds depending on the run of red salmon. They would even disintegrate their party and party principles for the chance of success at the polls. If they would sell out party honor and prin- c;ple for success before election, what wouldn't they do when elected.

THE SALMON TRAP
By AHN-KUTTY

Luilt a home on the muskeg moss ? in the shade of hemlock grove, l cast my nets in the silent depths
 of near by bay and cove And time went on, and others came
 and cast their nets as I; And village grew on muskeg moss
 where the ocean tides swept by. Our work was hard, but life was
 free and each one played part Ip reaching on for better things
 with willing hand and heart. Then came day in early June. The
 suns bright rays Made clear penciled line of smoke
 across the bluish haze. We watched the smudge. It nearer
 came. We wondered what it
 meant.
 There seemed to be, in the dusky
 streak, an omen-an i'll portent. At noon an ocean tug steamed in.
 Before the week was done, A floating trap stretched out across
 the sOkoi salmon run Then notices were posted up on
 creek, lagoon and bay, That fishing was illegal there, and
 we should keep away. The village is deserted now, the i yards have grown to weeds, And rusty hinges creak away of fish,
 e~ folk and deeds. But the trap is in commission, and
 annually it's gold
 Goes to feed an alien owner and
 protect him from the cold. He never saw this country and he
 has no knowledge where The old fisher folk have wondered,
