HARMONY AT LAST
An authoratlve cable from Seattle
states that the Whit.' Pass & Yukon
railroad ami the Home Power com
pany have entered into a ten years
agreement, which stipulates that the
Home Power company is to furn' h
power to the railroad and have a mo
nopoly on the electric light and pow
er business in Skagway.
Aside from the commercial benefits
which will accrue to both the White
Pass A: Yukon and the Home Power
company, the agreement reached is
one of the best things that could hap
pen, for it should put an end to the
bickering and dtssention which have
made so much trouble in Skagway in
the past two years. What is done is
done. But now both corporations
have sunk their past differences and
made an amicable arrangement and ,
there is no farther excuse for the in- 1
feasant agitation which has been car- j
ried on under the guise of civic pat '
no 'snt.
The stockholders of the Home Pow
er company are interested in the fu
ture growth and prosperity of Skag
way: so are the employees and direc
tors of the White Pass & Yukon
Prom now on they should work to
gether and it will be be' er for them
and for the people of the town. Un
der this new arrangement the inter
ests of the people will be well pro
tected.
Kverybody should get together and
work in a harmonious manner for 'he
good of Skagway. The civil war Is
ended and most of our citizens will
be pleased to see the last vestige or
smoke blow away.
?'ONLY A DOG."
"Well, it don't make any difference
U- was <. nly a dog."
This is how a certain citizen of
Skagway referred to the poisoning of
"Teddy," the handsome collie dot
owned bv W. L. Hawkes of tills city
No criticism of that man is intended
He was making a casual statement I
and he merely expressed the opinioi j
held by perhaps a majority of the pe<. ,
pie who even give the matter a j
thought.
But have you ever paused to think
of the qualities possessed by some of '
those staunch canine friends and com '
rades that are "only dogs?"
Dogs, like people, possess distinct
personalities. They are living, think
Ing beings. To a high degree they '
have the virtues of faithfulness, hon
esty. courage, and patience. With
the pioneer they have ever followed
the footsteps of cicilization. This i>
particularly true in Alaska and many
a lonely "musher" has owed his lif?
to the fortitude and endurance of his
four footed companions.
Few thinking persons doubt that
dogs have souls. They are suscep
tible to love, care and friendship
They resent insult and ill treatment, j
There are few cases on record of a
dog betraying a trust.
A good dog has many qualities i
which might well serve as a pattern
to most men.
Think it over before you slighting
Ijr say: "Well, he Is only a dog."
A woman in Russia was arrested I
for having freed 000 of her sex from
the galling bonds of matrimony by
the simple expedient of poison!n,;i
their husbands. There is no need ot
violence to obtain the same end in
thi* country. Our Dakota and Wash
ington divorce laws will turn the
trick.
"Give, and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running ov
er, shall men give into your bosom,
For w'th the same measure that ye
mete withal it shall be measured to
you again."
There's one good thing about being
poor. A corncob pipe draws as
swe^t as a meerschaum and beer
tastes about as good as champagne in
the long run.
"Fighting Bob" Kvans and Hallin
ger Booth, the rival apostles of peac<
and war, preached from different pul
pits at the same time in Seattle last
night.
When the rules of parlimentary or
der fail in congress the Marquis oi
Queensbury rules always seem ti>
give satisfaction.
A python In Chicago devoured a
48 pound pig in fifty minutes. Looks
like that python is a good deal ofia
1 ig himself.
Variety is the spice of life, but too
much condiments are bad for oik-.
"Where are the songs of spring
Aye, where are they?"
Alaska needs home rule.
Better register today
Prospects look good.
Be cheerful.
DEATH AND LOVE.
1 HEARD a soldier slim* somo trllle
Out in the nun dried veldt alone?
Ho lay and cleaned his grimy rillo
Idly behind a stone:
"If after death, love, comes a waking.
And in their camp so dark and still
Tho men of dust hear busies, breaking
Their halt upon the bill.
'To me the slow and silver i" alius
That then tho last high trunii- t pours
Shall softer than the dawn come steal
ing.
For with its call com< s yours."
What grief of love had ho to stitle,
Basking so Idly by his stone.
That grimy soldier with his rille
Out In the veldt alone?
? Herbert French.
