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 onr 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'crders intrusted to me will have my personal at
tention. YOURS TRULY,

ENGLISH ROYAL VE7C
It I* Practically Extinct. Not Having
Bern l>ed Since 1708.
The earliest mention of the exercls?
of the royal veto was when King Hen
ry V.. shortly after the victory of
Aeinoourt, said "Le roy s'avlsera"
(the king will consider it) to a petition
of parliament against the transferring
of suits at common law into chancery.
Many instances are mentioned dur
ing succeeding reigns until that of
Queen Anne, who is responsible for the
latest exercise of this very interesting
power in refusing the sovereign's as
sent to the bill for settling the militia
of Scotland, passed by the lords and
the commons on March 17, 1708. This
Is recorded in the Journals of the house
of lords.
Since 1708 the veto has never been
used, though there was a threatened
exercise of royal power of rejection
toward the close of the reign of George
III. and also by Queen Victoria In 1S58.
Mr. Bagehot considered that this pow
er Is extinct and added that "Queen
Victoria must sign her own death war
rant if both houses present it for her
signature."? London Standard.
"Compulsory Greek."
To show you how advisable it is that
great attention should be given to the
study of Greek I wanted to present
"Oedipus Rex" on my London stage. I
went to the lord chamberlain to ask his
permission. "No," he replied, "certain
ly not." "But," I answered, "they do
tt at Oxford." "Yes," said he. "bat
they do It in Greek and nobody under
stands it Play It In Greek and I will
give you my permission." That was
compulsory Greek with a vengeance.?

A TRIPLE CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES !
"About ten years ago my scalp be- ! ]
came badly affected with sore and i
itching humors, crusts, etc., and extend- ;
ing down behind the ears. My hair
came out in places also. I was greatly ;
troubled; understood it was eczema. \
Tried various remedies, so called, with
out effect. Saw your Cuticura adver
tisement, and got them at once. Ap
plied them as to directions, etc., and
after two weeks, I think, of use, was
clear as a whistle.
"I have to state also that late last
fall, October and November. 1904, I
was suddenly afflicted with a bad erup
tion, painful and itching pustules over
the lower part of the body. I suffered
dreadfully. In two months, under the
skilful treatment of my doctor, con- i
joined with Cuticura Soap and Cuticura |
Ointment, I found myself cured. I
"Six years ago my son was laid up
?with a severe cold, a hard cough, and
finally painful eruption all over the
body. I procured the Cuticura Remedies
as soon as possible, and after his faith
ful use of same was as well as ever in
two weeks, as well as I can recall. He
has never had a return of the illness,
as far as I know.
" I have always been pleased to com
mend the Cut icura Remedies, and testify 1
as to their efficacy. I am a veteran of J
