The lev* a man knows about a business the easier it seems to make a suc
cess of it: This is true ami it is due to the fact that a man must know
something about a business to understand its drawbacks and the many mis
takes it is possible to make in it. this ignorance has often led men into the
newspaper business, particularly in Masha, who were the most ill fitted for
it. To see one of the Alaska newspapers it looks as it any baby could run
one and run it successfully, and even more successfully than the men who have
given the lust \ears of their lives to learn it. Ibis has been the cause of the
loss of a lot of money to people of little sense.
There are several things that ought to be known about newspapers be
fore criticizing them or getting the idea that you could do better yourself
without training or practice. In the first place it is easier to till a papei
with rubbish than to keep rubbish out. V newspaper often deserves praise
rather for what it keeps out than for what it puts in. Newspaper writing is
not literature and is not supposed to he. It a newspaper ever paid most atten
tion to the style of it- writing it would soon cease to be a newspaper. V
newspaper is merely intended tu stive (he news in plain, clear language and
make its comments also clear ami simple. " hat si publishes ought to
he of general interest and not something which satisfies the faddish ideas
of every calling and every sort of individual. The great difference between
the successful paper and the unsuccessful paper is that one has character ami
coir monsense and the other ha- cheapness and weakness. Hard work is also
necessary to make a paper slick, even in the smallest community. Otherwise j
a paper becomes slipshod, careless and weak.
Because all that i- required of a paper are these simple qualities it seems j
easy. There is a story told of a valet of Sir Henry Irving who was threaten-j
ed with dismissal and came hack with the assertion that he did'nt care as he ,
could go on the stage if he had to. 'cling of the best kind i> the acting that ;
looks so natural that no one can see the hard work and training and experi
ence behind it. That valet ».t- a fool and there are many such people.

Many failures in the new industry
of fox farming in Alaska are record
ed by K. Lester Jones, Deputy Com
missioner of Fisheries, in the report
on his recent investigations in Alaska
for the Department of Commerce. He
finds that the promise of big profits
caused many to rush into the business,
and small fortunes were sunk by men
who did not understand the dislicuSties
of the industry.
Report sent out from the far north
indicate that a new strike oi pay has
been made in the Andreufski gold
fields. On Willow' creek, ten miles
from Marshal City, five* miles across
the divide from head of Wilson creek,

was made last week. Pay has been
found on three claims. The- discov
ers are W. C. blander, Plunkett &
Patton, and Albert K. Edwards. The
