ALASKA WILL NOT STAMPEDE
The Juneau papers are trying to
make an Alaskan problem of the pro
posed Seattle fair. They pretend 'to
have just discovered that the fair is b
Seattle insiituton, and they pretend to
ie? la it a startling menace to Alaska^
welfare.
A* well had the Tories try to conjurt
into a destroying moos er the L.ke
Washington 0-.na',0r the Pioneer square
totem pole, or Rishop O'D-a's new
oatnedra!, or of a dozen other SeaiHt 1
ioa'itutiuns.
Of course the fair is a Seattle institu
tion. Ct n -.s always been a Seattle in
atHutioa. That bxs been known from
the beginning. It is being planned
and tij.lt a- S attie enterprise. Tne
at ck was subscribed by Seattle bust- I
ness men. The appropriations for it |
were made by the Washington state |
legislature and by the N?tional congress
through the influence of the Washing
ton delegation. H'hat of It?
Alaska's name is u<ed? Yes Colum
bus's name and discovery were used b\
Chicago in 1903. yet other sections of
the count y did not object because the
exposition of that year was a Chicago
fair; Buffalo used the name if all the
new world countries in 1901, but we
heard no objections from Santiago.
Buenos A. res or RiodeJaneiro;St. Louis
pulled off the "Liuisiani Purchase im
position" but no injury resulted to St.
Paul, New* Orleacs or Denver; t '? rt
land gave a fair in tho name of Lewis
4 Clark and all the Orient, yet if there
were dissatisfaction at Seattle, Spokane,
Tokyo or Manila it remained silent.
The fact that all of these fairs chi> f
ly benefitted the cities in which they
were held did not mase valueless the
advertising they afforded contiguous
territory or that afforded even romou
sections that were represented by adt
quate exhibits.
The peop.'e of Alaski are interested
in live questions. They will refuse to
become to excited over the Seattle fair
or any other Seattle institution that
they will forget real Alaskan i.-sues.
The attempted stampede will fall flat.
It is fortunate that the good sense o!
Americans and Canadians is sufficiently
wide-spread that uufrieud y feelings
cannot be aroused any :ocger by ever\
narrow minded, small souled aud un
informed man who mades use of i.ver)
occasion which is given him to give
otterance to bis petty r.atonal preju
dices. Wh-le the iusu.t gratuitous^
offered to Americans wno have crossec
the Canadian border and, with their
money, energy acd brains, art as- s'.ing
to develop Canadian minis and to mak?. :
fruitful fields of Canatian plains, frcn
? Wbiteborse pulpit, was unci led fo.
and irritating in many wpys, it should
receive very little *tte tion as it must
be recogr.iz d by Am-ericacs as unrepre
sentative of Canadians who possess ruf
cient calibre to make them worthy of
lerious notice
The Juneau Transcript is calling
upon A'.askan* to stand together to i
protect themselves against the SeatUe
fair. The satte paper, however, works
over time to prevent Juneau from
standing shoulder to shou'der with
the remainder of Alaka to pro'ec*
the District from the "Government s
Trust"? the mtm ers of which are non
residents and local representatives of
non-reslJents. The Trmscript is try
ing jo hard to find some issue that
would oause the remainder of the Dis
trict to get behind the banner of a
Juneau Tory tha' is straining itself
to the breaking po a*.
There ?re very few employers of
labor in Alaska who are Tories, and
this fact shou'd be made known at the
earliest possible date. The employer
cannot afford to be placed on the side o'
those who are opposing American prin
clplesof government iff Alaska.

Speaking of fishing. "fishermen's
hick," "lucky fishermen," etc., what
does It all mean anyhow 1 To say a
man Is rt lucky fisherman Is merely to
admit his superiority as a llsherman
over other fishermen. The fish are la
the water. We all have the same chance
to get thorn, yet some "lacky fisher*
men" always come home with their j
fish boxes full and the other fellow
gets nothing. In the parlance of the
fisherman, the word "luck" really
means "kuowlcdge." The "lucky fish
erman," you will find, knows the rock
holes where the grouper lurks; he
knows the channels In and about the
patches and passes where the amber
jacks aud barracuda live; he knows
where and how to tlud and capture the
silver mullet for bait: lie knows how .
to bait his hooks for different fish as
occasion -may require; he knows the
style of hook (?> use for every k^nd of
fish; he is a Judge of what style of
fishing to do under certain conditions
of wind and weather, aud, above all,
he is untlriug !u his efforts to use all
of his knowledge when he Is out for (

One and a Million.
"That's tl?p llrst tltne I ever sold a
single envelope," saiil the young- wom
an at a big stationer's store In the
city's center. "I've always sold them
in packages, but that gentleman came
In wit -i a letter in his hand and asked
for nu envelope, and I so!d him oue for
a cent. 1 Imagine that's the smallest
sale that has beeu made In this estab
lishment since it opeueil. The biggest
I ever made happened to be In the en
velope line too. A rather roughl\ dress
ed man came In, asked to see our en
velope-; and wanted to know the price
by the thousand. I told him. Then he
aslfed the price by the million, I got
(he figures from our manager, who
smiled as he gave them to me. Yet the
mau ordered a million envelopes, and
wlicu we asked for reference he said
he would as lief pay the bill on the
spot, which he did from a roll of yellow
back bank notes about the size of a
loaf of bread. We delivered the en
velopes, but haven't seen the purchaser
since."? Philadelphia ltecord.

"Please, mum," said a tramp, "would
you be so kind as to let uie have a

"Well, y-e-s," said the housewife at

"Thankee, uium. Now. you'd oblige
iue very much If you'd let me have a
bit of cloth for a patch."
"Yes. here is soiue."
"Thankee very much, mum. It's a

see. Perhaps, mum, you could spare
me some of your husband's old clothe*

Andy Horn, who was ouce a well

.Vila considerable glee.
"111 give you $10 a mouth," said An
"Ten dollars! A man can't live on

Broiled Prairie Dog.
"Prairie dog. briled, is darn goo.l eat
in'," said the zoo keeper, "but you
couldn't get a plalusu.au to admit it.
"The plainsmen claims that owls and
rattlesnakes and prairie dogs frnter
nize together, share holes and ent one
auotlier's dead corpses at tlie end. They
claim that to eat prairie dog Is the
same thiug as to eat rattlesnake or owl.
"Of course It's only a superstition,
but it holds good on the plains, and
prairie dog is never eaten there. I eat
it. though, every chance I get. It has a
tine taste. It tastes, by-gum, like young
chicken."? New Orleaus Times-I>emo

How to Prevent Nightmare.
Referring to the frequ&cy with
which unpleasant dreams, and more
: particularly the classical nightmare,
occur, Dr. Kehrer, the Muuich special
I 1st says: "Persons who are subject to
disturbances of this sort should allow
three or four hours to elapse between
Lthe last meal and going to bed; should
not let this last meal be too hearty a
I oue and should make it a point to
avoid all indigestible dishes and alco
holic dcinks with the evening meal."
Beyond Her Sphere.
Mrs. Finicky? Nora li, I Just read that ?
