PENCIL AND SCISSOSR.
—Juneau boasts of having had more
than three months’ good sleighing so
far this winter.
—Fairbanks has paid off its muni
cipal debt which had grown to $34,000,
and still has money in the town poke.
- The dog poisoner is abroad in
Wrangell. Whoever he may be a
dose of his own medicine would be
just about the right thing for his
particular ailment.
—The Lake bay cannery, which is
located at the northeastern end of
Prince of Wales Island, is being en
larged and put in order to be operat
ed the coming season.
—A Washington corespondent cpiotes
Gov. Hoggatt as saying that Delegates
Waskey and ('ale do not represent
the best people in Alaska. You see
there are only a few of the best of us.
—Douglas News.
—It is probable that the De Forrest
system of wireless telegraphy will be
established between Seward and
Valdez the coming summer, and ex
tended later to Fairbanks and other
interior camps.
—Wrangell has an amateur dramatic
society which will entertain the
public with an occasional play, which
the Sentinel says will serve to break
the monotony of the everlasting hoe
down to which the town has been so
long addicted.
—U. S. district court will convene
at Valdez on the 14th with Judge
Wiekersham on the bench. From
there, it is understood Judge Wicker
sham will come to Juneau for the
April term, exchanging labors with
Judge Gunnison who will go to Fair
banks
—The sawmill at Wrangell is again
in operation, but will run short band
ed, until a new 100-horse power
boiler can be installed, when the box
factory will be started up and the
crew increased to the limit. So says
the Sentinel.
—The Wrangell Sentinel speaks of a
man. apparently a Wrangellite, who
writes home from Ely, Nevada, that
he and seven others have been offered
$200,000 for eight quartz claims, and
thinks they will sell. Well, rather:
if indeed they have the goods to
deliver and are not wholly demented.
—Wrangell Sentinel says that if the
editor of this paper will visit the
lake in Golden Gate Park, San Fran
cisco, he will see a number of swan
which are as black as old King' Cole’s
black cat's tail feathers. Pshaw,
man! those are not swan—only imi
tation lamellirostral palmipedo, im
ported from Australia!
—The hue and cry has been to get
the big monied men interested in
Alaksa. Now comes the kick that
corporations are trying to hog every
thing and that there will be nothing
left for the real Alaskan. Money and
corporation greed is one and the same
thing and must be expected. Nor
can it be combatted so long as the
seat of government for Alaksa is in
W ashingt on. —Valdez N e ws.
—A petition is being circulated in
town says the Valdez News addressed
to Delegate Waskey and Gov. Hoggatt
asking them to lend their support
to the bill before congress extending
government aid to a railroad from
this place to the interior. The
petition sets forth that gigantic cor
porations are attempting to gobble up
everyth ng in the district and that
they will delay the building of a rail
road until they are able to do so
unless assistance is rendered by the
government,
—Capt. John Johnston, the pur
chaser of the Alaska Magazine, con
cerning which there was some compli
cation between himself and the former
owner, is installing new machinery
and has a force of printers at work
getting out the February and March
numbers in one. It is pleasing to
know that the magnzine will continue
to be printed and published at Juneau,
instead of being made the mere tail
of still another Seattle-Alaska kite, a
consummation which seems to have
been the purpose of the former pub
lisher.
—The Douglas business men were
telling tales of by-gone days. One said
be know a man who was working in
the Treadwell mines who was so badly
crippled he could hardly walk, all
because he had corns that he had
neglected to trim for 25 years. To
beat that story the other merchant
told of a man who came in to buy a
pair of shoes. The largest in the
store appeared too small, and the
salesman suggested that he take off
his sox and try a dry pair. The
customer started taking off sock after
sock, three and then the fourth pair,
which were stuck so fast to his feet
he had to shave them off with his
pocket knife. No one tried to beat
the latter story.—Douglas News.

MISTAKEN WISH.
“I wish I lmd your money,” a fairly
well off politician once said to the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt. “Don't
bother so much about money,” was
the reply. "Wluit have I in life that
you lack'/ You have clean linen,
good food, a home: that’s all I have.
And you are not compelled to fight
like a tiger to keep what you have
got. I am.”
TROUBLE ENOUGH.
“I saw the doctor stop at your house
this morning, ” said Ruhring: “any
trouble’/”
“Yes,” replied Hardpan, “Iliad a
great deal of trouble.”
“What was the matter’/”
“He wouldn’t go away until 1 gave
him $5 on account of his last, year's
bill.”—The Catholic Standard am
Times.
HIS ON REQUEST*.
“Have you any request to make'/"
asked the sheriff of the erstwhile
society man who was to be hanged on
the morrow.
“Yes, one." replied the condemned
man. “Let me tie the noose myself.
I never yet wore a ready-made tie."
—Philadelphia Press.
FIGHTING CHANCE.
Senator Pettus of Alabama, who is
eighty-five years old. was working on
a law case in his office in Alabama
last summer when he was overcome
by an attack of vertigo.
“We’re going to send for a doctor."
one of his clerks told him.
“All right,” the senator said, “but
don’t get any more than one.”
When the doctor arrived he bundled
Senator Pettus into a carriage ani.
got in with him and ordered that the
senator be taken to his home.
“You’re a doctor, are you'/” Sena
tor Pettus asked.
“I am,” was the answer.
“And you're all alone'/”
“Yes, sir.” the physician answered,
thinking the senator had some con
fidential communication to make.
“You’re sure there is only one oi
you*/” the senator persisted. “You
and I are the only two people here'/”
“Yes, sir,”
"I’m mighty glad of it,” the sena
tor said, with a sigh of relief. “I’m
sure I’ll get well,if there is only one
of you fellows here, but I know I
could never survive a consultation.”
—Exchange.
WHEN FATHER HAS THE GRIP.
Poor mother wears a worried look,
And sister wears a frown:
And if I venture up the stairs
They send me straightway down.
I’tn going to the drug store now,
Upon a hurried trip,
To get some other kind of dope,
For father has the grip
I heard his groaning in the night,
He said his head would split;
And then he thought his back would
break;
In just a little bit,
He told us that his legs were sore,
And soon it was his hip;
It seems that everything is sick
When father has the grip.
The doctor came today and left
Some capsules, and he said,
To take one each three hours until
The pain has really tied.
Says pa, "That means twelve hours
before
I give this pain the slip;
I’ll bet he'd find a faster dope
If he had the grip.”
And then he told ma that he thought
That he was going to die;
An’ ma says no, that isn't so,
An' gave the reason why.
Then pa got mad and told her that
He didn't want her lip;
Oh! there’s no comfort in our flat
When father has the grip.
—Detroit Free Press
BEWARE.
In promulgating your esoteric
cogitations or in articulating super
ficial sentimentalities and philosphical
or phychological observations, beware
of platitudinous ponderosity. Let
your conversation possess clarified
conciseness, compacted comprehensi
bilities, coalescent consintency and
concatenated cogency. Eschew all
conglomerations, flatulent garrulity,
jejune bablement and asinine affec
tations. Let your extemporaneous
descantations and unpremediated
expatiations have intelligibility
without rhodomontade of thrasonical
bombast. Sedulously avoid all poly
syllabical profundity, pompous pro
lixity and ventriloquial verbosity.
Shun double entendre and prurient
jocosity, whether obscure or apparent.
In other words, speak truthfully,
clearly, purely, naturally. Don’t use
big words.
JAMES .1. DOYLE.
Then Everbyody Skated.—The
masque carnival at the Elite skating
rink last Friday night was a success
in every respect and demonstrates
what a hold that popular place of
amusement has on the people of
Ketchikan. Every body in town was
there, either on the floor in costume
or packed along the sides and in the
new gallery as spectators. The cos
tumes—or rather some of them—were
very tasty, and presented an animat
ed scene as their wearers went flying
around the hall keeping time to the
excellent music furnished by the
Ketchikan Cornet Band. The grand
march under the leadership of Dr.
and Mrs. Zuber was the treat of the
evening, of itself well worth the effort
of going to the hall. At the con
clusion of the figures, masks were re
moved, the floor was thrown open to
all and then everybody skated.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Tuesday was steamer day tliis week,
the Ramona arriving from the south
and the Cottage from the north.
Dr. Zuher, Dentist. Frye-Bruhnbig.
Rev. Tbos. Jenkins occupied the
pulpit at S. John's church Sunday
after an absence of over a month.
O. W. Grant, of six shooter fame
now deputy marshal at Hadley, was
in the city Monday and Tuesday of
this week.
But you can do better at Taylor’s,
the Jeweler.
The lumber yard of the Ketchikan
Power Co. is growing rapidly getting
stock up in shape for the spring rush
of business.
The pile driver is at work on the
mill property east of the Mining
News office preparing a foundation
for a cottage we understand Frank
Burkhart intends building.
Dan E. Krriekson assistant treasurer
of the Brown-Alaska Co. at Hadley,
who had been spending a few days in
Ketchikan returned home on the
Marion Saturday morning.
The steamer Jeanie bound to west
ward called in for water Monday.
She was loaded to her capacity with
material a great deal of which was
consigned to Cattala the new railroad
terminal.
George V. Bland, of the Victory
upper Co. at Seal Bay, was a Ketch
ikan passenger up on the Ramona.
While away Mr. Bland went as fat
east as Kansas City, Mo.
Hans Anderson's ruddy face anti
portly figure has been prominent on
our streets this week. Hans has beet:
<o busy over tit Hadley since he re
opened his place of business then
ibout a month ago that he has been
kept close at home till that time.
“Billy” Morgan, the ‘'king of
v'orckscrew Island” ipmt several

Morgan whose name is not ”J. P.”

The Northern Machine Works, om
hustling local machine shop, installed
in electric motor this week to furnish
them power instead of the gasoline
engine so long in use. The Citizens
Light, Power and Water Co. are now
making contracts for all day electric
power service which if taken will be
of great advantage to our small man
ufacturing concerns.
Alaska Looks Good to Him.—Dr. .1.
L. Myers was in receipt by a late boat
>f a letter from his brother Alex
who is now attending [Park Univer
sity near Kansas city. ‘‘Prof” Myers
as he is known to most the town, re
ports that the east dosen’t look good
to him anymore. Everything there
is too small and ordinary and the
people fail to measure up alongside
Alaskans. Of course he says he will
come back to Ketchikan as soon as he
finishes his schooling.
