IF THE CORPORATIONS CONTROL THE
NEWSPIPEIS
If it is true as announced by wire
yesterday thai the Rockefellers have
bought the Times, of Seattle, and the
Guggenheims the Post-Intelligencer
then calamity has befallen Whatever
may be said of the Seattle merchant
and his disposition tomake out of Alaska
all the money he can, it is true that
the Poet-Intelligencer at least, of the
Seattle newspapers, has been a constant
and active friend of Alaska. If these
big interests have ^one into the news
paper business it. is not for any love of
the business or for a desire to make
money, or in any other way to engage
in the business for its own sake, but
solely for furthering their other enter
prises, shaping public opinion in their
favor or silencing it by depriving it of a
vehicle of expression. With regard to
Alaska, this will be in the nature of
a calamity. Known to be owaed by
the corporations the newspapers will
lack public confidence and their utter
ances on anv subject will be discounted,
but the injury worked through deny
in? the country a voice or by misrep
resentation would be incalculable.
THE ARCTIC CLUB ELECTION POSTPONED
The annual meeting of the Arctic
Club was held at tha office of the club
la Seattle September 11. Owing to the
fact that so few northern uieu were in
town to attend, it was decided to post
pone the election of officers until Fri
day, December -1th, in order to give all
the members an opportunity to vote.
The club now has a membership of
over 1,000. The limit of th6 Charter
Membership is 1200, composed of 200
life and 1,000 resident and non-resident
members.
The Arctic club has catted for more
space in the big building that is being
built at Third aven e and Jefferson
street and to meet the demand the
Arc'lc Construction company has in
creased its capital stock to SiT>0,000 and
will build seven instead of four stories.
So many members have applied for
permanent living rooms, and the club
membership having iucreasod so rap
idly.
ELECTRIC SKY ROAD
Among the possibilities of the future
for aerial navigation, according to Hud
son Maxim, the great inventor, will be
the wlreles electric sky road or zones
of electric energy, leading from center
to center of imputation and industry,
along which Hying machines will pass
to and fro, drawing their power frotr
an electric system stretched along the
earth, thus obviating the necessity of
each inJlvidual flying maching devel
oping its otd energy. Kach machine
will carry an electric meter, and the
consumer will pay for the energy used
just as he pay* for the electric current
which light* his residence.? From Oct.

John Kalem, formlly ofSkagway, has

of tbe child-eating eagle against whose

Which Broke Out in Different Places j

Mother Almost in Despair? Skin
Quickly Healed WithoutaScar and
Trouble Has Never Returned
SINCE USING CUTICURA
MOTHER GIVES IT PRAISE ;
"Several months ago, my little boy,
now two and a half years old, began to :
break out with
itching sores. I
began to doo- 1
tor him, and a.4
soon as I gob
them healed up
Jn one place they
would breakout
in another. I
was almost in
despair. I could
notgetanything
that would help
him. Onoeven
ing I read a tee
, timonial from a
lady who had cured her little boy with
Cuticura. I txtgan to use the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after
using them three times, the sores com
menced to heal. He is now well, and
not a scar is left on bis bodv. They i
have nevor returned nor left him with
bad blood, as one would think. Cuti- i
cura Remedies are the best I have ever
tried, and they are surely great. I
shall always have them in the house,
handy, arid shall highly recommend
them to any one who is suffering likewise.
I cannot give them too much praise.
