MR. TROY S DEPARTURE
John W. Trov's departure is an event
that not only concerns the people of
Skagway bat every patriotic resident of
Alaska He goes at the atern call of
duty bidding farewell to fond friends
and the sacred cause to which he has
dedicated his leamel abilities and the
best vears of bs life. He h.<s been the
Cherallier Baytrd of the Alaskan press
without fear and without reproach, err
ing: perha.is sometimes in judgement
but never from his Leait or a soul that
h*? enabled him to scorn power, p ace
and money ofTered for principles.
He has been the SDOtesman of a
people In the aays when ring rule
gagged tee pulpit, press and platform
and has vicariously suffered fro*n th
? b fu and vilifications spewed at the
cause of liberty by the combine of spoil
ers, p lltieal heeleis, confidence graft
er(, mining frauds and gilded dead
beats, who, thanks to such men us Mr
Troy an 4 h:s confreres, are about to be
trampltd to deserved ruin by an out
raged p-ople growing Into intelligent
pow^r -nd honestly earned Tealth
Mr. I>jy has buiided so well his por
tion of the structure that It can be
completed in a regular course without
him, though be will be sore'y missed.
The Alaskan but voices a general
sentiment in wishing him every bless
ing wherever he nay go and hoping
that his lot may again be cast in the
great land that owes so much to his
efforts.
Back east the weather man is in coc :
tinued trouble. He switched off the
oold weather and switched on the
hot so suddenly that people are being
crazed in the streets of some {of the
large cities. Doesn't that make you
glad you live in Alaska
? .. jmc. who receive life diplo
ma* from the state superintendent of
schools do not know whether they are
life sentences to teach or not. If they
knew they were, a great many young
women would avoid the life diploma.
IfLLS Of TRIP
TO IMKOKO
Captain Charles A. Eide of the Flor
ence S. Mid regarding the trip to the
IocoJco:
"We had a favorable trip but found
that the Innoio river *a? larger than
we first aaticipated, we wtui up the
stream 500 miles and found the upper
eod of it pretty tough traveling on ac
count of the snags and obstructions and
bar*. The boat ts pretty well battered.
We had one passenger from the Innoko
for Gi 'bon and that was McLean, who
13 reproaeotlnt' some of the officers at
the fort. There was nothing of a posi
tive nature that would justify a stam
pede until there are further develop
ment*."
E. J. Smyth, part owner in the Flor
ence S stated:
"At I am interested in the boat that
runs to the Innoko I do Dot feel at lib
erty io ma*t any statements on hear
say, < ui on a of our passengers was on
me ground and can spe*k from peraoaal
observation aid from the standpoint oi
kDowic* what be saw. We left Mr.

of the poiing boats about 300 miles from
the diggings. e also found that there
were about 2o0 boats on the way down
the Yuaon to tbe diggings. I: will lake

"On Satan'N Kufri."
A little girl of live or so was much
puzzled ou hearing the Hues of the old
hymn:
And Satan trembles when he seej
The weaken ealnt upon Ills knees.

Silence and Science.
Before It was determined scientific
ally that smoke Is waste, suwke was
fixed as the final Indication and proof
of prosperity. Today ? smokeless
chimney means nothing less than
thrift and good management. Similar
ly we now hear that noise Is proof of
urban life, progress and activity. We
may answer that noise Is loss as suroly
as smoke Is waste. Decreased comfort
Is loss and noise decreases comfort.
Disturbed minds are loss through a re
duction of mental force. Itut these
and similar consequences are Indlro- t
loss. There Is direct loss also. A rut
tllng car means worn lien l ings and a
short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail
roads would not spend so much on
their roadlieds, and thev would ruu
trains at higher speed.? Detroit Free

Ntver Loiei His Head.
Many years ago, when William .1.
Stlllmaa of New York city was re
porting a disturbance In Greece for
the Loudon Times, a report was sent
out that he had been beheaded. One
of hU friends, hearing the report, tele
graphed to the corresi>ondeut this mes
sage: "Kumor hers that your head has
been taken off. Is It true?" It was
not until the message had been sent
that It occurred to the sender that if
the rumor were true Stillnmn would
be the last man In the world to speHk
about It. But the message reached
Stlllman. and this was his reply "Mj
dear boy. a newspaper man never
loses his bead."

Only Slept There.
Dickens, looking for local color for
his novel of "Hard Times," visited
Manchester. He went through the hov
els of certain Manchester cotton spin
tiers, and these foul houses tilled hiiu
with pity and horror. Meeting the
Manchester manufacturer who owned
them, he said :
"And do your employees really live
in such bouses as these?"
"Certainly not." the manufacturer
replied. "They only sleep In them
They live In my mill."
Not Discouraged.
"Cun't you realize that you're uierei.i
wasting my time and your own?" corn
plained the busy merchant.

the young of tlie herring, dab. whiting
and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob
sters also form an lmportaut item In
the cod's menu. The strangest part of
the cod's diet perhaps Is the sea mouse,
whose thick covering of bristles might
be thought to render It unwelcome to
any stomach. Large whelks and shells
of whelks with their Indwelling hermit
omb? are also largely devoured. From
Its partiality to mollusks, In fact, the
cod may become an assistant 'in the
