Itms r farted to come in again and
w<*u-i v look for a repetition of the
hist winter’s jangling. What a

A.. Grigsbj has been announced
as n candidate for the office of
<dei !< of the school board for which j
in lection is called to take place
Ant irday. Although there are
yle 'y of citizens who are well
qualified to hold this office, it is
hath to find one who will accept,
or ho will he in town continually.
Mr Grigsby is particularly suited
♦or the position, as he will he in
tov.n all the vear, has an office
wh-.re he can be found at anytime,
ani in addition to this is a member
of lie council. It has always been
tin. contention of the school board
fht.t it should have a representa
tive on the council in order
that the two bodies might work
more in harmony and to the best
interests of the public schools,
and this will be achieved by the
-election of Mr. Grigsby.
The investigating commission
has fixed the blame for the Dix
disaster on a dead man. That was
to be expected.

As far as can be learned no one
with the exception of Mr. urigsby
has been formally decided upon as
it candidate for cierk of the school
hoard. Several have been men
tioned, but some of them will not
*c'fve while others are away from
town so much that they are hardly
qualified. The indications are
that the above mentioned candi
date will have no opposition.

The Miller*8chaeffer Wedding.
Letters received from Seattle
contain the following description of
the wedding of Jack Miller and
Miss Jennie Schaeffer:
At 7:30 the bride’s party, con
sisting of two brides maids, maid
of honor and bride, in one carriage,
flower girls, Mrs. Schaeffer and
guests in another drove from the
Seneca Hotel to the church, and
at 8 o,clock the bridal party
started up the aisle, the brides
maids carrying large bouquets of
roses, followed by the ring bearer,
who carried the ring in a big Cala
lily. Then came the two flower
girls, scattering petals before the
bride. They met the groom and
paity before the altar where the
ceremony, which was very im
preisive, was performed.
After the marriage the party
went to Christensen,s hall where
a banquet was served to 245 peo
ple. It was a very grand affair
and everything went off without
a hitch. The bride wore an elabor
ate costume of ivory crepe de chine,
trimmed with real lace and
studded with pearls.
It seems very unlikely that
Judge Hanford will decide against
the legality of trying criminal
cases in Alaska courts. If he does
the resnlts will certainly be demor
alizing. *

“Man is the creation of circumstances,”
says Carlyle.
It would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of
circumstances. I* rom the same materials one man builds
palaces_another hovels. Brick and morlar are mortar and brick until some architect makes
of them something else.
Carrying this reason down to our own affairs—The KINGSBURY which oui man wean*
on his head is just about the same as another make, yet, by reason of the ones superior ability
in the use of the material, the result is excellent—while the other obtains the reverse.
This is practically exemplified by our
Kingsbury Mat* or Crown Ca|>*
Than which there is no better made. Every one guaranteed.
