This paper has been offered some “Exchange” adver
tising which it was unable to accept as it might hurt the
feebngs of some people. 1 he people who wished to pi int
t> e advertising are those who wanted to exchange some
i hristmas and New* Years gifts for other articles, but the
persons w ho sent those presents might see that the gifts
to be got lid of had been sent by themselves and, of
course, this would be likely to offend them. One man liv
ing on Millionaire Row wants to change the hat a lad\
sent him at ( hristmas tor a dollar s w01 th of cigais. An
other wants to change a gift of a hundred cigars for halt
a dollar's worth of corn cob pipes. A lad} wishes to ex
change a New Years Crimona, or some word like that,
for garters with waists on, whatever that means. A
young man of eminent social station on broadwa} wishes
to exchange a dozen new ties sent him by a lad} ioi any
thing. He sacs the ties could he used to make a splendid
erazv-work quilt. It is a pity that these ads. cannot be
published to help the sufferers out but what can you do?
If it is a fact that any man started a fire in order to
secure insurance money and it it is proven it will he of the
most serious consequence to property holders in Alaska,
one could hardly blame insurance companies in future
for being still more strict. That insurance question in this
territory is one ot the greatest importance. It has been
suggested to the Gateway in the past few da\s that <\
movement should he set a toot to ha\e ttees giown toi
shelter. Sheltering trees would certainly he of the ut
most henetit. They might surely save the city from great
tires and they would unquestionably make the climatic
conditions here more pleasant.
Juneau is just now regretting the departure of hun
dreds of people for the outside but the Juneau papers
seem to be confident that they will all come back. In this
part of the territory we may be certain that greater num
I s than ever will come back in Spring. The re-opening
n Spring work on the railroad all along ought to entice
1 u id reds to come early and this way and the development
of Tolstoi might have possibilities in that respect which
w e cannot foresee. Three months from now another and
a brighter spring will be here and. best of all, the old
timers who have gone out to escape the cold will lie with
us again. The railroad work has now got over its uncer
tain state and the word has gone out that thousands are
finding work up here. It would probably be safe to pro
phesy that the coming Summer will be easily the best the
district has ever seen.
