NEED OF FUR EXCHANGE

Approximately million dollars worth of furs pass through Seward annually their way to fur exchanges in the United States and to private concerns. charge of five per cent fixed by the exchange for handling the fur or a total of $200,O00
 There is no reason why this should not remain in Seward It be secured by the establishment of fur exchange which in turn will assist the trapper by having correct market reports available at each sale for the determining of prices instead of the present system of uncertain reports based previous sales, with poss btes of the price dropping from five to 10 per cent after the trapper has shipped his furs.
 Such an exchange would draw many fur buyers from the States and other parts of the Territory and have generally beneficial effect upon business.

HARMONY PREVAILS IN
 RANKS OF TERR|TORY's REPUBLICAN RANKS

1 For the first time in many years
 the Republican party in the Ter
 ritory is pulling together, with a
 few possible exceptions, with more
 harmony than for several years
 says the Stroller's Weekly in giv-
 ing resume of Territorial politics.
 If the present situation contin-
 ues the possible appointment of
 several Well-known party leaders
 will have it's effect in amalgamat- ing the several factions.
 Tine probable appointment of
 Attorney General John Rustgard of Juneau, for the position of Federal Judge at Fairbanks, suc-
 ceeding Judge Cecil Clegg, meets the approval of many of the Re-
 publicans turnout the Territory. MT. Rustgard has been we'll schooled for the judicial position. He was U s. District Attorney at Nome, Alaska, for a number of years as we'll as mayor in it's hal- cyon days. He has been elected to a number of responsible offices in the past, and has always taken an intense interest in party af- fairs. His appointment gives rise to the hopes that at last factions are united and that a man quail fled witkin the party has some thing to look forward to in re- wards and honors from his fellow citizens and party.
 Tn vacating the office of Attor- ney General MT. Rustgard will leave a vacancy for Governor Geo. A. Parks to fill.
 Delegate Wickersham has signi- fled his intention to again become a candidate. to head the party ticket in the Territory. Up to the present time the Delegate has been active in party. affairs and his endorsement of men recom- mended is meeting with general satisfaction. Probably for the first time in history, Mir. Wickersham will find the party solidly behind his candidacy.
 The lineup of the Republican cohorts behind A. E. Rasmuson for National Committeeman is also a matter of congratulation among Republican leaders. This candidacy stands for harmony and is another wind that can blow only good for the party.
 Fractional objections to Mir. Rasmuson's candidacy are being ironed out and the objections formerly raised to his nomination appear to have died out.
 MT. Rasmuson has been to Washington, D. C., where he met Delegate Wickersham and also Secretary of the Interior Lyman Wilbur, to bring more stress upon the development of Alaska before the coming Congress, as we'll as doing excellent work in behalf of the Alaska Railroad. Mir. Rasmus- on is an ardent worker for the A. aska-Pacific International High way.
 MT. Rasmuson is expected to pass thru Juneau on one of the next boats enroute to his home in Cordova, at which time political news from the National Capital perhaps will be given out, as he has talked to many leaders of the party in that city, following a visit with others in New York.
 All differences of the past seem to have been forgotten and the in the Territory are looking forward to strong candi- dates for the National Committee man and two Hoover delegates to the National Convention, as well as other elective Territorial of- fices. A strong ticket for Legisla- tors can also be expected. Men who are. known to be in close

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
When Spirits Talk.


When spirits talk, they say nothing
of importance. They talk only of tri-
vialities, such as lost lead pencils and
the like.
noted authority on Spiritualistic
phenomena has recently come forth
with the reasons for the triviahties OF
spirit messages" According to our au-
thority, ordinary persons in everyday
life deliberately choose trivial incidents
to identify themselves to others. Only
such incidents can ever prove personal
identity"
Still further, according to our au-
thorlty, death causes a shock to con-
sctousness. 1t takes time to overcome
the shock, and so the spirits are forced
to prattle like children about small
matters. The death shock is especially
hard on suicides for whom it requires
"a long Tina to recover, and they are
not clear mentally. for weeks and even
months after death"
SO runs the argument for and in be-
half of the trivial MESA es" from the
other side" The argument seems even
more trivial than the messages"
