A PECULIAR PECLUARITYT
In the first place, le: it be understood once for
ail that we are not peculiar, neither are we
Queer. The new comers are though. At least
that is the way we appear in the mirror of our
self-estimation—which is good enough f r us.
The point is this: Alaska ar.d its resources have
beer, extensively advertised. People from a:i
over the world are Socking in imbued with an
insatiable greed. They want this, that and
other things. They go here, there and every
where. never letting go that insatiable greed.
Trait stays with them. If they fail to grasp an
armful :i ruck at once, they call for help and if
we fail to respond readily, they get peeved and
think us horrid. And just think, they are only
new arrivals. They never helped us to blaze
the trails. They never turned a ringer to bring
the gauntry t: its present prosperity. They re
mained with civilization enjoying life while we
endured all the hardships. But now. they wan:
to share equally with us the fruit of our lab: r.
Is not this a most peculiar peculiarity to f.r.d
in men? It sure Is. according to our way of
thinking.
This peculiarity not only found in men. but
in evaporations as well It may be truthfully
said that Alaska was opened up and it? re
sources uncovered by a handful of men ar.d a
few corporations who endured all the hardships
incident to the peting up of a wild country.
Now. new comers, individuals and corporations
—arrive and immediately start to appropriate
themselves trade that otners have taken years
to a centre. As a matter of tact, every Aiasstur
welcomes new co mers: hut the new comers must
not think—and much less expect that we are
going t: fall over one another in an endeavor to
give them help ar.d patronage. Although some
there are who appear to think we should. ::
happens that we triri otherwise: which masv
all the difference in the world. We have seme
consideration for those who helped to open up
the country, and to throw our entire support
new comers at tne expense of our life s partner
would be ingratitude, arc aosent attribute in
every Alaskan. Let us welcome the new com
ers a: the same time we must not forge: these
who have helped us. otherwise they may think

JUST TO SHOW OFF.

And s. it is. even ...mum men. Some men are

their business with c.igiuty and silence. They
have better use far then- energy than for mak

MIND WHAT YOU DO.
Two incipient tires acre reported yesterday
by one of the businessmen of the city, which he
attributes to the . a.V.-. .-.-r.tss of some one in
throwing matches ,r cigar*.tt«.> on the dry pave
.m at wind, this
does no: anmur.t to • n.uca. but should a
: e start at night 01
it might cause the vk-rrur: of a lot of prop
erty. During this dr;, season, e cannot be too
careful. Smokers—..re rests—should ex
reatest care, when throwing a match
on the pavement, for mere is no way of telling
what a lighted match mi a until the damage is
done. when, as a general rule, .t is too late to be
careful. V. e don't k: . l a. what smoking on
the street she ..id . .: i* d anyway.
