IN ITS NEW HOME
There la always something tad about
breaking up an old home, some bo* or
another, is ?h'? r"rticularly true about
a printing office. Thers are certain
recollections that will connect them
selves with fretting ou> the paper that
can't be cast off. The Alaskan is not
a very old newspaper ? its just about
ten years now since O. U. Dunbar "got
out'' his first issue. It was published in
a liule shack just east of where the
present office Is located; Mr. Dunbar
ran it some time and it then passed
into the ownership ol George DeSucca. j
(rum him it went into the hands of Jen
sen i Towu and continued to i
be conducted by them until j
the entire ownership was secured by I.
M. Jensen. The present owner ac
quired it a month ago.
Tne Alaskan has tried at all times to
do its best for Skajway and Alaska, j
Prom the first issue in the little gback,
on inrougb the rears it has been in the
present office where to night it poes to
press for tfce last time, it has done its
duty as it saw it; It was wrong some
time, perhaps, but It was only wrong j
because it thought its canse was right,
and a wrong with a cause is, at worst,
half way right. There must have b en {
times in days gone by when The Alas
kan had hard sledding; it is certain ;
that occasions cjme up when those be- '
hind It thought, in their discourage- 1
ment, that >t was not worth while, but;
that's all water lhat has gone over the
wheel. The next issue of the paper j
will be from one of the most modern I
offices in Southeastern Alaska, for j
tomorrow the plant will be m ved into
its handsome new home in the Kelly
block, and with the new equipmeui lhat
Is arriving, which will make ll one of '
the best papers in A'aska.'t is the pur
pose of the management to continue the
policy of trying to serve the best inter
ests of the people in Skagway in par
ticular and all Alaska in general along
the same lines The Alaskan has per
sued ever since Its birth ia thai little,
room, In February, 1888.
CALE TRUSTS ROOSEVELT
When talking to The Alaskan this
morning Delegate Cale said* "The
President asked me to go and see him in
November, before he made up his
message, so that I might acquaint him
with the conditions existing In Alaska
that he might thus be more prepared
to make suggestions to congress (or
Alaska's betterment. I am certain that
he will do all he can to aid us when
he knows the state of affairs that
exist." The action of Theodore Roose
velt in this Instance has ever; indi
cation of his tincerity in wanting to
help the territory. He Is frank enough
to acknowledge that he does not know
the conditions that prevail up here and
goes to the territory's representative
to get his Inf ;rmation. When bu gets
that information there is no one who
will question his intention to do right,
by Alaska. Delegate Cale has plnued
b's faith to Roosevelt, and in doing so
his judgment looks good to The Alas
kan.
It is said that Mrs. Russell Sage has
succeeded in giving away $14,000,000
of me $100,000,000 which the old man
left at his death. Mrs. Sage has
adopted a method which will dispose
of the other $86,000,000 within the next
five years If she has real good luck?
and then she proposes to retire to
private life and enjoy herself uuill the
end shall come. We do not know the
age of Mrs. Sage ? but the old man was
close up to W or above when he turned
over the $100,000,000 as a burdeu to his
wife. The old man lived on fifteen
cent meals ? wore hand - me-down clothes
which rarely cost more than $12 a
suit? never gave a cent to charity in
any ^form? acd all in order that he
might leave $100,000,000, at bis death !
What a contrast between the life of
Russell Sage and the life and conduct
of Andrew Carnegie

ishing a knife ran amuck and stabbed
several persons. includingCapu O'Brien
and the First and Fourth mates, btfore |
be was overpowered. Later Carbon*
went on a second rampage and slashed
several other persons before he was fin
ally overpowered and placed in irons.
A few days before that be shot Tony
Despacal, the railroad foreman at Ra
tal la.
Carbooa escaped from his guard while
a physician was administering him
medicine on board ship. He seemed
imbued with a wild desire to kill every
one and three of the officers were badly
cut before the maDiac was subdued.
Later in the day Carbona slipped his
wrist irons and again attempted mur
der. He was finally overpowered in the
mate's cabin and was later placed in
jail here.
