Fruit and Vegetable
Season
FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES is the hardest
kind of goods to handle in Alaska at a profit and special
care and knowledge of how to select and pack goods is a
life study. As each year is added to our experience we dis
cover former defects in handling this line of goods and this
year we are better prepared than ever before to supply the
northern trade.
All orders intrusted to me will have my personal at
tention. YOURS TRULY,
John Kalem, the Grocer
Sole Agent for Reliance Canned Goods

veloped on the republican side of the
house over the railroad rate bill.

Iowa, both republicans. Cooper accused
Hepburn of being in a conspiracy to
protect express companies. Heoburn,
shaking his fist at Cooper, and in a tow
ering rage, intimated that the latter
was a liar. Cooper said he was not the
only member who had heard the re
ports.
It Is Sangarom to Neeleot a cold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only a cold." and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is of such common
occurrence that a cold, however slight,
should not be disregarded. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any
tendency of a cold to result in pneu
monia, and has gaiued itsgrreat popular
ity and extensive sale by its prompt
cures of this most comnon ailment. It
always cures and is pleasant to take.
