WORK OF CABLE SERVICE FOR LAST YEAR

mercial business is valued at 9246,371

ceas, $218,915.04) was received for mess
ages sent direct from the Seattle office,
and 827,950.05 w.t? buaineaa from other
companies to be forwarded.
The figures given are for the actual
commercial business of the line. Be
sides this the work done for the United
States government amounts to thou
sands of dollars which would be spent
If the cable were privately owntd.
Besides the telegraph busintss the
aabie maintains a money trnosfer sys
tem which has handled f50,000 worth of
business in the p<st year. This system
is operated like the transfer system of
the commercial telegraph companies in

ing supplies and provisions for northern
stations acd general expenses. This

FAREWELL
Farewell! If ever fondest prayer
For other's weal availed on high,
Mine will not all be lost In air,
Bnt waft thy name beyond the eky.
'Twere vain to speak, to weep, to sigh:
Oh! more than tear* of blood can tell,
When wrung from guilt's expiring eye,
Are in that word? Farewell!? Fare
welll
These Hps are mute, these eyes are dry;
But In m? breast and in my brain,
Awake the pangs that pass not by,
The thought that ne'er shall sleep
again.
My soul nor deigns nor dares complain
Though grief and paasion there rebel
I only know w? loved in vain?
I only feel? Farewell!? Farewell!
THE NORTHERN LIGHT
Bat In a more c?reful perusal of the
Northern Light, Skagway's new paper,
of which mention was made yesterday,
the plagiarism apparent? the theft of
news without credit, to put it In plain
newspaper English ? is so apparent that
It would be like encouraging wrong
doing to pase it by In silenoe. The
Northern Light is piinted on one side
of typewriting ptcer and contains just
nineteen paragraphs, of which many
are clearly tracable to the Alaskan. If
oot taken bodily, and le no case is cred
it given. Here is an instance: On
Tuesday evening the Alaskan cm imeJ
an item to the effect that Mr. and Mrs
BrWce would sail for Juneau by the
Jefferson that evening. This bad been
Kiveu to the Alaskan that afternoon as
true. But between the time of going
to press and the sailing of tb? Jeffer
son Mr*. Bridge onanged ber mind and
Mr. 3rldg? sailed alone on thj Jeffer
son. Mark this in the Northern Light,
issued next day and after the Jefferson
had mailed, when the facta might easily
have been learned and the truth ?tat
oil. The Northern Light siys: "Mr,
and Mrs. Bridge went to Juneau on the
Jefferson last night."
Comment is unnecessary. However,
It is probably not well (o lay too much
stress on tbis, as the young men and
women conducting the paper may not
be up in the ethics of the profession
and, besides, much may be forgiven in
a first number? and even a second num
ber.
Otherwise the Northern Light bas
much to recommend it. Here are a few
excerpta:
