The time comes once in a while when it is hat'd to
think of something to write about editorially. Just sit;
down yourself. Dear Reader, and imagine you have fifteen
minutes in which to think up something to write about J
and to have it ready for a printer. What would you write
about?
Well, there are three great aids to the newspaper
drudge when he momentarily runs out ot ideas. I he chief
aid is to look around for some official to roast. Another is
to make some suggestion and another is to make more or
less flabby and hurried comments on the news ot the day
before, it would be all right if one could write any oldj
thing but you must always keep in mind what you think
the people who read the paper want you to talk id’.
The first of the three aids is the most useiui in some
respects. Pick out some official who, you think, has lots
of enemies and let loose on him. Everyone will read it
and every anarchist will applaud. Of course, you should
never attack an official that gives you printing jobs or ad
vertising; That would be bad business. Pick on some
abominable miscreant that refuses to come across with
the needful and never let up till he does. Be careful
though, that you never accuse him directly of any crime.
You must always keep your eye on the fact that some rot
ten legislature passed a criminal libel law that might put
you behind the bars. Just hint at his crookedness. Use a
lot of judgment. There is quite a little distance that you
may travel and still keep at the right side of the penitenti
ary gate.
Alaska is certainly a place where more tragedies oc
cur than in any other place on earth of equal population.
Within a very short space of time the railroad district has
been the scene of a murder on a public street, the suicide
of a husband and wife, the drowning of a man from a dock
and several lesser tragedies. Another terrible tragedy
came to light yesterday, and they have been coming to
•ght since the first rush to Dawson. But this is not the
fault of the people of Alaska where the standard of morals
is as good as anywhere on earth. It is probably due to the
nomadic life, the changes of location, the unsettled condi
tion of mind and the lack of home life in proportion to the
population.
The exhibit room is now all ready in the railroad
building and the manager of the land department is wait
ing for exhibits from the public bodies and for the people
of Seward. This is a tine chance for Seward to have an
exhibit.

JUNEAU
ALASKA WILL SEND A
TEAM TO RIFLE MEET
JUNEAU. Oct. 6.—Alaska will be
represented by a civiliun rifle team at
the Jacksonville rifle encampment
and the members of the team will
leave Juneau tomorrow night on the
Prince (Jeorge.
A joint meeting of the Treadwell
and Thane Club members was held
last night at Treadwell and fourteen
men signified their willingness to go
under the regulations as laid down.
The men will furnish their own sub
sistence but transportation will be
furnished by the government.
It is understood by all of the men on
the team that there is little chance
for them to win anything in the con
tests. but the experience is what they
need and for that reason they are go
ing. Many of the men on the team
have never fired a Springfield rifle ami
have never had any experience on a
military range, and for that reason
do not expect to be among the win
ners. This is only *the start and in
years to come the experience gained
by the men on this trip will be in
valuable to future teams.
Fred \. Berger, of Juneau, has |
been chosen as the team captain, as he
is an expert shot and has had years
of experience on rifle ranges. The
team consists of twelve men and will
be picked from among the following:
Fred. V. Berger and Floyd I’' Gibson,
of Juneau. K. K. Durum, Huga Ander
son, NV. J. Anderson. L. J. Higley, A.
K. Edwards, O. C. Allen, George
Swarva. and William Christensen of
Treadwell: F. M. Jardine, W. Nelson,
James Serrott and Colvin of Thane.—
