CLEAN UP SKAGWAY
I
The town council of Skagway have
designated next Saturday, April 24th
"Municipal Cleaning Up Day" and
al' property owners are requested to
clean up their premises and the ad
j.cent streets from all unsightly rub
bish and refuse.
All property owners should co-oper
ate in this plan to improve the ap
pearance of our town in preparation
for the heavy tourist> traffic this sum
mer. Dirty, ill kept yards, streets
covered with rubbish, and ramshackle
and unpainted houses do not help to
advertise Skagway as a desirable
place to live.
The children are not at school
Saturday, and a small boy with a
likV can accomplish wonders ? if pro
perly urged. Get togetner and help
clean up Skagway. It needs a house
Cleaning.

THE TURKISH REVOLUTION.
Turkey has long had the un- !
fortunate distinction of being tin
worst governed country on earth and t
the Sultan of Turkey. Abdul Hamid
Hie second, is generally conceded to
be one of the worst types of tyrants
tl at ever cursed a subject people.
Abdtil Hamid has ruled since 1870
and he ruled with an iron hand. l"n-i
dt-r a general system of espionage
no one had any real personal liberty
and the people were taxed to death
without tl?e slightest representation
iu the government.
Turkey is an unenlightened country,
Lut slowly the leaven of liberty has
1 1 en working, carefully fostered by a
little band of patriots. "The Young
Turks." who were instilled with the
-pirit of independence and wished to
see their countrymen improve their
own condition. A few months ago
?iie Sultan was forced to accede to
the "Young Turks" and grant a par
liament. Since then these young pro-:
gressivts have had the upper ham!
and the revolution of yesterday which!
( lused the Sultan to flee from hisj
tl rone and seek refuge on a battle- i
ship, was no doubt carefully planned
and was but the natural result of,
?Le tyrannical reign of Abdul Hamid. j
The worm will turn and the most j
long suffering people will rebel when
1 ersistently hounded bv cruelty and
oi presslon. In its way the Turkish!
rebellion is as significant as the;
Ft ench Revolution.
Taft's offer of a federal appoint- [
ment to the corrupt Charles Fulton !
e* Oregon will not greatly increase
our president's popularity among peo
ple who know the facts of the case. |

understanding: but he that is hasty
of spirit exalteth folly. ? Proverbs. I

The old timers who wintered in the
states are ail unanimous in stating
that Alaska is God's own country.
When booze gets a toe hold on a
man the fall is certain to come.
A hard punch is sometimes more ef
fective than a preachment.
Alaska's citizens are entitled to
Lome rule.
Most pessimists are failures.
GREATNESS.
YEARS of toil and years of care,
Years of patient faithfulness.
Years of hope anu of despair.
Strength and courah\ meas
ureless.
Mercy for tho weak.
Bold where boldness must be shown.
Brave enough to stand alone.
Unafraid to act or ypeak
When the cause Is just.
Knowing whom to trust.
Whom to turn from in tho stress
Unbeliever:
Finally, when sweet success
Is achieved.
After all your foes are faced.
Knowing how
To wear worthily tho laurels placcd
On your brow.

"How would y?>u like to be presi
dent. Bill V"
"Not for me."
"But think of the salary."
"How much is It?"
"Seventy-live thousand dollars a
year."
"Excuse me. I can't think of more
than $40 at a time."

A kiss he would take.
He found It regrettable.
The miss made him quake
In a way unforgettable.
She turned him down h;trd
With a strong arm athletic
As she caught him off guard.
And results were pathetic.
Obvious.
Hard lines? a railroad track.
Deep sleep? the miner dosing at
work.
Happy days? pay days.
Calling a bluff? whistling for a cur
dug.

Retribution.
Little Willie had a sister
Courted by a lovely mister.
Bill got gay
With hiin one day.
When the fellow went away
Little Willie caught a blister.
