.i been the habit of a large pro
portion of Alaskan newspapers to simp
ly sneer and knock whenever the Seat*
tie fair was mentioned, regardless of
the fact that the fair was going to be
held whether or no. and that Alaska
would be harmed or benefited in great
degree according as Alaska herself be
haves in the premises. This fair was
primarily undertaken as an Alaskan ex
position. It has grown until it Is now
become another great world's fair. In
that fair, bearing Alaska's name, Alas
ka may be submerged in the mass until
she is little more than a name. If so it
will be an opportunity thrown away
such as may never recur again? Alaska
instead of doriving great benefit will
learn how it is possible to be "damned
by faint praise." And in such event
those who sit by now and simply sneer
at the Seattle spirit instead of emulat
ing somewhat of that spirit in Alaska's
behalf, will feel compensated no doubt
by an opportunity to cry "I told you
so" forgetful of their own responsibility
in having lost to AUska this great op
portunity.
DO IT NOW
Vol. 1 So. I of the Innoko Miner, is
sued at the new camp of Innoko, July
16 has arnved and speaks up for the
new camp in most, cheerful tones, It is.
the property of Arbuckle& Ward, with
J. W. Ward manager. J Wilber Ward
will be remembered la Skagway as he
stopp?d here for some little time when
on his way ia to Fairbanks two years
ago with the plant of the Fairbanks
Times of which be was for a long time
manager. His appearance in the In
noko indicates that he has let go his
holdings m a newspaper way in Fair
banks He is young and energetic and
will likely make a go of it in the new
camp if that camp Is what the Miner
says it is. Mr. Arbuckle is a well known
and capable printer and editor of Daw
son and Fairbanks. It is a good com
bination and the little paper has that
appearance of being in experienced
hands.
Lite reports from many of the new
camps of the interior, indicate perman
eney anil prosperity. The Kokukuk,
the Ionoko, Valdez creek are all ap
parently making good while some very
interesting reports of quartz prospects
from the Kuskoquim are insistently re
peated insomuch that there must be
something to found them upon. Alas
ka has only begun.
The Vaidez Prospector complains
that the vote of Cordova was so heavy
It could not be carried over the wire but
arrived at Valde/. by freight. Later
reports seem to indicate that it could
not be carfied all at one time even by
freight but came along in several con
signments, evidently for the safety of
the shipping.
The story comes in the westward ex
changes of how Corson, Ronan, Wick
ersham and Clum were all marooned
together at St. Micheal for three days
on their way to Nome and the north,
ward during the campaign. As to the
time* they bad, that inay be best left to
the imagination.

THE NECK RUFF.
It Reached Its Full Glory In the Six
teenth Contury.
One of the most peculiar and Inter
esting evolutions in hlstofk fashion is
the growth and development of the
nilT In England. This ruff began Its
career as a humble little something
like a tuck running along the top of
Ihe chemisette from shoulder to shoul
der. You can see it grow In the
portraits of royal personages slowly,
but surely, like a great linen flower
opening Its plaited petals from geuera
tlou lo generation. During the reign
of Ilenry VI l. It was scarcely more
thau a budding excrescence, hut with
Henry VIII. it had outgrown Its tuck
stage to the extent of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild tlare. Those were the days of
such strict sumptuary laws that In or
der to wear black gciuet you must lie
royal, to wear sable you must outrank
your viscount neighbor, to wear mar
ten or velvet trimmings yon must be
able to show nn Income of over 20!)
marks a year. The reign of .Edward
VI. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging It to any
greater development. Hut Queen Ellr-a
beth, seeing In It possibilities for off
setting her red hair and clear skin,
fanned It into vigorous life. In thesix
teentli century the ruff burst Into full
bloom. Men and women, even tiny
princesses, were overshadowed by the
stilt* rays of the rutT on all great occa
sions. Even over France, Oermany
and Italy It spread Its white pinions
and held unquestioned sway until It
fell with the Roundheads.

Swankera.
A number of our contemporaries np
pear to be somewhat exercised as ti
tho precise meaning of the word
"swank." Swank, though usually
called by other names. Is the leading
characteristic of Englishmen. French
men used to talk of "perfidious Al
bion." It was simply another way
of calling us swankers. To swank is.
