$15,OOO JOB IS NEGLECTED:
 BUT ONE BID GIVEN

Times aren't so bad in Alaska after all, when $15,OOO jobs in easily accessible places almost go begging. This is evidenced by the effort of the Alaska Division of the Office of Education to ob- tain tenders for clearing an eight-acre site for the projected industrial training school at Shoemaker Bay, a short distance from Wrangell.
 More than two weeks ago, the bureau advertised in The Elm fire and Ketchikan Chronicle, and sent pup : notices to Wran- gell end Petersburg, for bids on this work. Saturday, November 8, was fixed as the date on which the tenders would be opened. Only one bid was re- ceived despite the publicity. Another tender reached here to- day too late. however, to be con- sidered.
 The bid received was for $2,- 25O per acre, Or a total of $18,OOO for the job which consisted of clearing, burning and grubbing the eight acre tract. It has been communicated to Washington with the recommendation that it be accepted, so that the work can be initiated without delay. Juneau Empire.

Passengers returing from Nome lately on the $. s. Victoria furnished details of the accident which gave Nome one of the greatest thrills in it's history the loss and recovery of nearly a ton of gold.
 A small tug carrying passeng- CTS and an express company's strong box containing $250,000 in gold bullion, struck a bar out in the shallow harbor September 24. Despite the heroic efforts of the crew the tug listed heavi- ly, took on considerable water and finally sank.
 Several passengers who, with the gold were to have been load cd on the Victoria, standing well out in the harbor, at the mouth of the Snak river, received a iducking but were outherwise un- hurt.
 Loss of the gold fortune creat- ed furor at Nome, and hun 1reds watched a coast guard tug steam to the bar and then slow ly drag the tug, with it's precious cargo, back to the city's water front. It was pulled under a crane which finally lifted the strong box to shore The tug was pumped out and 9 few hours later returned to cervice.

THE PICTURE IS ALL WRONG

It is always refreshing for us to read an article where it is evident that, Poor To, if he is the subject, is getting a square deal. Under the above caption a re- cent issue of the Seward (Alas- ka) Daily Gateway has the fol-. lowing to say:
 We have heard much about rhe terrible conditions among the natives and Indians of the westward; of their alleged low morals, drunkenness, sickness and ignorance, so we were quite prepared to view with pity these things upon our visit among them last summer.
 We were not exactly disap- pointed but we were greatlysur- prised to note total lack of all those things. We saw three drunk and they were whites. We saw some sickness. yess, but not more than would be found elsewhere; of ignorance we saw none-Chemawa American.

Three Injured When Boat Burns

Fire which resulted from eX- ploding gasoline seriously burn cd MT. and Mrs. George White and P. Orcutt, well known fish CT folks of Wrangell, while their boat, the Regal, was taking on oil at the Union Oil station Mon day afternoon. MT. and Mrs. White entered the hospital to be treated for burns about the face, neck and hands. Orcutt, who was blown off the deck of the boat, suffered only slight burns and was discharged from the hospital the next morning.
 The Regal was having her tanks filled with gas at the time of the explosion, and it is thought that some of the oil SplaShed over and fell near the galley stove. Mrs. White, badly burned, escaped from the boat by climbing the ladder to the dock, followed by her husband Orcutt sWam until life preserv- CT was thrown to him and was then hauled up the ladder.
 An attempt was made to cut . hole in the boat just below the waterline in order to sub merge the engine and save it from destruction, but this was not successful. The Regal was pushed away from the dock with pike poles and later lowed to the graveyard beach. It is thought the boat will be a total loss.

BROOKHART HINT REVOLT
 PERILS EDGE IN SENATE

Wilmington, D. C.-Out of the confusion of one of the most bitterly contested and closest off-year congressional elections in American history, this result was apparent recently:
 A nominal Republican major ity of one of the senate and three in the house of representa- tiveS, which may be upset by the action of Independent Republi- cans and Farmer-Laborites.
 After wavering in the balance for three days, the latest returns gave the Republicans 219, Demo- crats 215 and Farmer-Labor 1 in the house.
 In the senate, the latest tabu- .ations stood: Republicans 48, Democrats 47, Farmer-Labor l.
 This Republican paper" ma jority in the senate may be wiped out by Senator Smith Wildman Brookhart of Iowa, who made the startling an- nouncement that he might vote with the Democrats to organize the next senate.
 What appears to be an atSo- lute Republican majority in the house was determined when Representative Bert Vestal, Re- publican whip" Of the house, pulled through in the Eighth Indiana District by a margin of nine votes, and Representative Richard Yates won out as the representative-at-Iarg from H. linoiS.
 This claim of paper control for the Democrats or Republi- cans means little in any event Thirteen long months intervene before the seventy-second con- gress convenes to organize in the fall of 1881.
 Death, illness, the resignation of one or more members-the official recount of the ballots in several districts-there are the factors which will really decide whether John N. Garner of Texas or Nicholas Longworth will preside over the delibera- tions of. the house.
 Brookhart's announcement, however, carries with it be- wildering chain of probabilities. Of course, even with the rebelli- ous Iowan on their side, the Democrats must make certain of Shipstead and Senator-elect Huey Long, of Louisiana, who has announced he may delay taking the oath of office until May, 1882, before. they can or ganize.

Airways Bidding On Alaska Mai|s;;
 Interior Routes

There is the possibility that airplanes well carry mail on reg ular schedules to numerous AL
 aSka communities during the coming year. New contracts are
 to be awarded for star routes
 within the next few weks and
 the Alaskan Airways has submit
 ted bids which will enable the
 government to make rapid deliv-
 cry of mails throughout the in terior at almost the price it now
 pays for the slow dog team de-
 liverieS. The company has sub mitted bids aggregating $780, GOO and covering many of the routes for which contracts are to be awarded.
 The company is understood to have agreed to take the mails from any point along the Alas ka railroad designated by the NOstal authorities. Some of the mail, if the company is award ed the contracts it seeks, will be dispatched from Anchorage without question, and all of it could be sent from here at con- l siderable saving of time. One of the routes would cover the in let district as far south as Ho- Imer and another would take mail to the westward, via Iliam- na to Dillingham; and neighbor- ink communities. The company also has bid on the short Susitna route, which logically would be served from Anchorage, as it is at present.. Virtually all of the territory no wserved from the rail belt, is covered by the com pany's bids.
 In addition to the new planes ordered by the company recent ly, the Alaskan AirWayS also is increasing it's personnel in an- ticipatiOn of favorable action on it's air mail proposals Orville l H. Porter, who came north with the first Wilkins north pole ex- petition, as mechanic, and who accompanied Wilkins and Cros- son into the Antarctic, has been gagged by the Airways and will arrive at Seward Saturday, ac-l companied by his wife, the for mer Miss Orphia Boreen, of this city. They are going through to the Fairbanks base. There will be further additions to the personnel later.
 The company has two new planes now en route to Alaska, an amphibian and a New Stand ard. One of them shoulsd be here at the end of the week, and it is possible that both will will arrive at that time.
 The work of preparing the To- cal hangar for winter use has been nearl ycompleted by Dahl & Wanstedt: the contractors be- ng engaged at present in putting he new sliding door in position. The hangar has been lined and a new heating system, devised by Mechanical Cecil Higgins, will keep the building comfort able.
 As soon as weather conditions will permit, Pilot Matt Nieminen will make a flight to the in terior, with stops at Sleitmut, McGrath, Takotna, Akiak, Beth el, Iditartd and Holy Cross. A passenger will be brought from Holy Cross on the return flight
