The prv<s dispatches from Wash
ington >esJepda> stated that it is al
most a toKpuif conclusion that
Hos?e bill Jv would I* passed b\
t he Senate at this session of Oon -
gress. and that before the I'mted
States has had .i-, opportunity o
celebrating the Independence of the
Thirteen Original Oolonii*. Alaska
will have totae into her own, and
she will have been granted a Ter
ritorial form of government by .?
* holly elective legislature
Should the joyful mess-ice. which
almost to . unit Alaska has boon
uxiowly awaiting for the past ten
vears. be ; lashed out over the Vnit
ed Slate*. and by cable tolus
here. * hat preparation ha\e we
made to show our joy and pleasure
over the verdict of Congress tha?
we are amply able to make our
?>*n laws and govern ours. l\?-s
Would it not be in order to pre
pare some sort of demonstration,
when the rews. heralded b> the
light ning s flash, tell us That I'ncle
Sam has rwogniwd his ward by
taking the fitTo-s frv. about our
necks. and givii.c us our freedom
l.?t us at !*-???; be awake when
opportunity kncxks at o.ir door,
and arise and open it to the stranc
er.

befitting the occasion ?i;h otr .?

Perhaps should we do this, *c
will live down the name of "alieu."
which we have so often been call
<<d during the long fight for the
right of self-government
The "cheerful m-ws was brought
b> the Revenue Cutter McOullough
that the inhabitants of the town of
Hernial and other settlements in the
valcano *oi?e are all safe." God
has been merciful to the people
living in Kodiak and the main
land in the immediate vicinity of
Mount Katmai While animal life
and vegetation has suffered an ir- j
repanble loss, all Alaska should
s ive thanks that a recurrance of the
loss of life following the San Fran
. isoo disaster did not follow the de
\astation wrought by the eruption
of Mount Katmai.
l?awson's midsummer fair, with
exhibits of vegetables grown in
that sub-Arctic region, will have a
widespread and beneficent influence
It ?ill demonstrate to the incredu
lous that Alaska and the Yukon
have wonderful possibilities, agri
culturally considered The time
may come, and not be so far re
moved either, when the products of
the soil in that region will exceed I
in value the output of the mines. ?

what Fisher's Blend Flour DOFS.
Considering the initial outlay, it's not a cheap flour.
But from the standpoint of results, it gives you more for
vour money than any other flour on the market.
Discriminating huversall know that cheap articles never wear well.
It's good economy to pay a little more for your things at the outlet,
when vou consider that thev last a great deal longer. _
Hence, we say of Fisher's Blend Flour, that it
C osts More Per Sack ? Costs Less Per Loaf, which
means that this product is the cheapest to the con
sumer in the tang run.
Since bread is one of our main food items, this advantage
makes Fisher's Blend Flour necessu it in retry household.
