AN OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE
LOST.
The people of Southeastern Alaska
cannot afford to lose the opportunity to
have a regularly authorized anil regu
larly recognized representative at the
national capital this winter. The pres
ident ha' taken great interest in the
district and congress is paying more at
tention to it than ever. The national
law maker# are disposed to do some
thing (or thejnorth. While they are
in this mood is the proper time to get
things going and it is important that
the right things be done.
Some of the propositions for Alaskan
government that have eminated from
those in high place? at Washington
would be far more unsatisfactory as
laws than would be absolute neglect
at the hands of congress. In his annual
report Gov. Brady has recommended
his usual nauseating dose of idiocy and
tyranny. If we let things drift we
are very likely to quit at the end of a
congressional session that promises to
be busy with Alaskan affairs far worse
than we are at it? beginning.
There is no man in the country better
prepared to get congress started right,
to prevent the imposition upon us of
any paternalistic and imperialistic in
novation and to nulify any evil that
might result from Gov. Brady's misrep
resentations and silliness than Gov.
Swineford. The people should by all
means send him to congress. It is (in
opport unity not to be lost.
Franklin K. Lace, of San Francisco,
former county attorney for that county,
former democratic nominee for govern
or of California and for mayor of San
Francisco, and once a Tacoma newsr a
per man. has been appointed to the
interstate commerce commission by
President Roosevelt to succeed former
Governor Fifer, of Illinois. The presi
dent could not have done better than
be has done. Mr. Lane is one of the
ablest and squarest men who have
been in public life on the Pacitic Coast.
As an official he will be a credit to his
section of the country and to the man
who called him from private life.

The Washington state delegation in
the national congress is working (or
Alaska and Alaskan interests la a man
ner that is earning for it the gratitude
of the people of the north. If it shall
stick to the demand of the Alaska con
vention for self-government ai a text
and keep on the course it has started it
will receive the praises and thanks of
a big-hearted and long-remembering
people.

States marshal for Tennessee during

years to come will be from Vancouyor,

Two Players Complete Crib
bage Games
W. B. Kin? and Fred Ron ke odor f
have completed their game in the crib
ba;;e tournment, and so many others
have nearly done so that the contest
is nearing its end. King has a long
lead and stands an excellent chance (or
first prize. There are so many others,
however, who not lost more than five
games, that he is by no means certain
of victory.
The contest for some of the prizes
will be very close.

WATCH MM
A Certain Man Iu This Town
Needs Watching;
Is he your husband, your brother or
your son ? We have ntticsd the poor
fellow gazing longingly at the good
watches in Kern's window, when he
thought of the worn-out, worthless time
piece in his pocket. Doesn't he de
serve a better one? Does he deserve
any Christmas present? Then, in a
possible list of five hundred givable
things, there is not one that will so per
fectly meet his appreciation as a watch
Our stock of watches was never larg
er nor more attractive. With the best
movement that America makes, we
have about every variety of case that
choice may suggest or circumstances
demand.
