FOR
YOUR INSPECTION

=" The merchant and manufacturer who advertise,
actually placing their merchandise before you
for inspection They invite your most critical atten-
ton and an uncompromising comparison. And their
advertisements so to speak, say to their products:

~.t If the manufacturer and merchant did not have
confidence in their wares they would hesitate to call
attention to them. For advertising rgidly tests the
maker the seller and the merchandise BUSINESS
so TESTED, AND FOUND NOT WANTING, is
PROSPEROUS

.SITKA PIONEER PASSES AWAY
P. ]. Kostrometinoff, Re tired Merchant, Dies
 of Pneumonia

P. J. Kostrometinoff, member of one of the oldest and most prom inent Russian families in Alaska, died early this week of pneumonia at his home in Sitka, according to information received by the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, pastor of the Russian Church in Juneau. From the time of the transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States, until ten years ago, the Sitka pioneer was in the mercarl- tile business in that city. After his retirement from business, he was for several years guide and lecturer at the Russian Church in Sitka during tourist seasons.
 As Peter Kormakoff, Barrett Willoughby writes about him in her book, "Sitka, the Portal ,of Romance"
 There are two surviving children. P. J. Kostrometinoff, Jr., a son, who lives at Sitka, and Mrs. Albert Harding, a daughter. whose home is in Seattle

Reapportionment May Leare
 Kuale Without Any District

I MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 12.- Paul J. Kvale, the only Farmer Labor member of the Lower House of Congress, faces the possibility that his constituency may be aban- doned.
 In the pending re-appor.ionment occasioned by the 1880 census Min- nesota's representation will be re- duced from 10 to in the lower house, and Kvale's district is now the smallest in population. The fact that he is the only Farmer-Lab orite in Minnesota S Congressional delegation, all the other members being Republicans, and that the legislature whic h makes the reapportionment is also of strong Republican sympathies, may also count against the chances for his district.
 Even though he may lose his dis trict, however, Kvale is regarded as strong candidate for re-elec- tion in 1892 because of strong Farmer Labor sentiment in areas which may be absorbed, and in which he would continue as a resident.
 He is expected to occupy, key position in the organization of the next Congress because of the near balance of power between Demo- i crats and Republicans.

 SAYS TRADE IN
 STATES BETTER
Ford Begin Erection of $4,- 100000 Branch Fac
 tory in Seattle

Quite generally the opinion pre- vails among business interests in Seattle that the economic depres- sion has plumbed its depths and that ascent toward normal condi- tions has started" said Harry I Lucas, of the Juneau Motor Con- pany who returned a few days ago from three-weeks' trip to the Puget Sound metropolis.
 of course, winter is the dull season in the motor trade" he continued. Indications are that the spring demands will closely approach normal. The Ford Con- pany is proceeding with its policy of expansion. While I was in Seattle, ground was broken in the Duwamish district for the S4000,- 900 Ford branch factory.
 "The halibut fishing outlook is uncertain and the outcome of the trouble between the Deep Sea Yes sel Owners Association and the fishermen's union cannot be pre- dicted with accuracy now, in my opinion. Many of the Seattle hali- but boats are moored in Lake Union and will make no attempt to go the banks. Others of the Seattle fleet, understood, would be start ed with non-union crews. I heard conflicting statements in Ketchi- kan and Petersburg about the sit nations in those places.
 T am glad general conditions in Juneau are not affected tc their disadvantage and that there is no likelihood they will be. MY business like virtually every other in the city evidences ordinary conditions here"

 Notes Fresh Progress
 Fresh civic progress was noted here by MT. Mcdonald, who bi- ennialy visits Juneau as Super visor of Chugach National Forest. Every time, he said, he came here hc saw evidences of development, such as new streets, additional school facilities, new business struc- lures, etc. The most notable ad- dition to the town I see this year is the splendid new Federal build ing just completed. I am sure that the Chamber of Commerce has had much to do with all these inn provements," he added
 He extended greetings from the Cordova Chamber and voiced an assurance it would continue to work in harmony with Juneau and other Alaska communities on progressive development progra a m.

 No Funds Available
 No funds for the establishment of an air mail route between South east Alaska and Seattle are at pres ent available, said letter from Delegate Sutherland, who, at the request of the Chamber, conferred with Post Office Department off, cials on this project. He was ad- vised the route would be considered when the Department makes up it's estimates for the next fiscal year. This matter, the Delegate added, would be turned over to his success sor, Judge James Wickersham.
 The Chamber today voiced it's objection to the Government per- mitting the importation from Rus sia of pulpwood and soft wood produced by enforced labor. It en- dorsed a measure now before Con- gress prohibiting such importation and telegraphed Delegate Suther- land regarding its position on the matter.
 Libby Employing Alaskans
 Libby, McNeill & Libby, in re- sponse to a telegram from the Chamber, replied 1t would employ more Alaska labor this year than ever in it's salmon cannery opera tions. The Chamber has asked all canneries to employ all surplus labor in the Territory in making up it's crews and before hiring non- residents.
 The Libby interests wired the Chamber as follows:
 While we do not intend running all of our canneries in Alaska this year to full capacity. we are figur- ing on hiring more help in Alaska kans for the 1881 season. Our Taku George Inlet and Craig canneries will hire approximately 200 Alas kans fo rthe 1881 season. Our Taku cannery has already arranged to employ approximately 40 people from Juneau and immediate vicin- ity. This does not include Yaku tat and Kenai. These two canner- ies use all the unemployed at these points each year"
 The Chamber is listing the un- employed here and will be able to furnish all the canners with in- formation needed if they follow the local suggestion.
