JUST LIKE SKAGWAY
A receut writer in the Oakland Tri
buae .a referring to the go-a-hea ! spir
it that pre\a:.s :u the upbui ding of
Seattle says;
" When they tind a mossback who
refuses to replace a shack on tine busi
ness property, they condemn his build
ing, compelling the tenants to tnove^
If that does nut have the desired effect,
they will place in as-essmetit on the
property eyuil o a -Jtn for which a
tine modern bj Iding would be a.-seised.
!f he goes before the board of ? iiuali
iatiou for a teducliou, they will laugh
a', hlui. If he >:oes to court, the judge
will thro* tl.e case out."
The Seattle spirit reminds oue >uch a
lot of Ska^w ty. It's to different.
THE SHACK ARTICLE
Several persons have spoken to The
Alaskan about the irticle that appear
ed iu these columns Monday night
which was clipped froui a Denver
newspaper. The parties declared that
its publication hurt Skagway. The
Alaskan is pmoed to be compelled to
differ witn Jtheiu Of course it hurts
some people who own property here
now, but if it "Till have the effect of
shaming the owners into tearing the
shack - dowu it will be one of the great
est boosw Sbagway ever got. Those
people who own the shacks are asham
ed to have them written about, never
theless. they are uot a-hamed to own
them ami Tbe Alaskan cannot say that
It is at all sorry for haviug the truth
told aSout them.
It is about time tbat the Republican*
got busy and looked the field over with
? view of arranging to hold a primary
to elect delegates to the Juneau con
vention. if auything is going? to be
accomplished it will be by those men
who have the courage to go into tbe
convention and tight for what by right
u theirs. This being so the matter
shou'd uot be allowed to drag ilong.
The convention St .luneau must be
carried by loval Alaslt?ns at all boards
and action looking towards carrying it
should be started at once. Take lots of
time and get good material and be sure
of tbe men sent as delegates.
Recently the much advetti->ed"Swifj
water Bill " of Alaska and matrimonial
fame, appeared In court to defend a
suit for alimony and proved that a
church mouse was a rich and corpulent
beicg compared to himself. Just how
much Bill and his rapid wetness saved
by this little scheme does not appear
but Bill, no longer a pauper unible to
pay alimony, is now in Nevada playing
