WHO INSUl/fS T"E t'LAG
Thos who insuit the American flag
in Alaska are they who would make it
stand for monarchy- Gov. SwinefO'd
makes ibis c ear in an editorial in bis
Ketchikan Miner in referring to thf
Juneau Record- Miner's come tiou that
the Daily Alas*ao insulted Gov.
Hoggatt, President Uoosevelt and the
American tfag when it protested agaiust
the selection of Gov Hoggatt 10 repre
sent Aiassa at the Seattle fair ground
breaking or any other place.
Gov. Swioeford says:
"An insult to tbe flag that floats over
the territory! There is a patriotic
utterance which would b< truly pathetic
were it not so excruciatingly aosurd!
Since when has criticism of the public
acts acd utterances of a public official
been properly construed Into real or
even imp.ied insult to the which
is at once the pride and tbe glory of
every true American? Such in idea is
worthy of the massive incel'ect from
which it emenates ? ac intellect so
decsly massive that it is incapable of
comprehending what that rt.tg stands
for. It >s not 4 matter 0(.en to question
or dispute as to who in Alaska are
worthy to be esteemed mo>t loyjl to
that r'.ag or who tbe Uast lik- ly to in
sult or revile it. They will not be
found among those who insist that their
rights as Americai citizens shall De
identified with those of ev^rv other
distinct American c mwunity and of
which the CUg is popou arly supposed to
be purely einoicmatic? who are
demanding thj recognition, as
justly appliba >le to their own
desires ai-d necessities, of a
principe p.auced in America with
lbs settlement a-, lamesio'^o ibiee
hundred years a<o, and which has
ever since been maintain. d and recog
nized, except in be single case ol

Invoil.te fS th- empi<m of liberty
and equality re not toe ones who

"Toe iroub e with the Juneau
HyphcC->ttd is that the flig dots cot
stand tor ?nat it ?ou:d riavj t repre

who insult tbe H>g by making it a

emblematic."
The warm weather at.d the c edition
of tbe forests io the vicinity of Skag

to warn picnickers, sportsmen, moun
tain climbers and others to exercise
great care ia "previ ntisg forest firts

that we will go through oce summer
without having the scenery marred by

la a private letter to the manager of
tbti paper, and which arrived by the
last mail, Congressman Wesley L.
Jones, of Washington stale, writing
from Washington, D. C.,says in part:
"I don't know how you feel about It,
but as I look at the question, Alaska
wiU not have gojd legislation adapted
to .ocal needs umil she gets territorial
government. It may be a little ex
pensive, out good government, adapicu

THE OLD STONE
HOUSE.
CCtopyrlght, 1906, bjj_C. H. Sutcllfte.]
There bad been u murder anil a sui
cide In the old stone bftuse, and It bad
been shut np for twelve years. Six
blocks nwa}' a tailor named Shayne
hud au apprentice named Baacomb.
TSe lad was tbe sou of a widow, and,
though only fourteeu years of age, she
could not control him. He was ro
mantle and adventurous rather than
vicious. The tailor was a practical
man, and when his appr entice showed
lack of energy and '/.eal he gave him a
thrashing, lie had doue this tire or
six times when Joe, as the boy was
familiarly ci. e-L quietly slipped out
oue nigbt*a!?l set uui ou au adven
ture.
The mystery of the old stone bouse
had strongly appeiled to young Baa
comb. Just after dusk of an eveuing
ill .May ha Ixiujrlit caudles, matches,
bread, sausage and butter of a grocer
and carried them into the alley behind
the house.
There was a wall twelve feet high,
but back of the tlorlst's place he found
a board ten feet long. This he used to
get liiiinsclf and Ills purchases up one
side and down the oilier. The grouuds
were a tangle of vines and shrubs and
grass, and the old house loomed up
darkly jvitli every dour and blind nail
ed. Thert: was no cowardice In the
boy. lie sat down ou ji rotting door
step and made his slipper and rlieu lay
down among the weeds and slept
soundly unljl daylight. When he had
his breakfast, lie s.-t about breaking iu.
He accomplished the feat by climbing
to the roof of a shed and forciug a
blind and prying up a sash. When he
was once Inside, he closed the bllud
again. Then lie lighted a candle and
went on a lour of discovery.
Prom a lot of moth eaten bedding the
lx>y selected the be?t and set tip house
keeping In a servant's" room iu the
second story. lie explored the house
to tiud only grimness and dust and
darkness. He slept as soundly on his
first night In the old house as he had
ever doue at the tailor's. On tbe sec
ond night he was awakened by a per
sistent uolse. It sounded like two
pieces of metal lieing struck together.
He got up. lighted Ills caudle Jiad pass
I'd through the upper pan or me
liouse. Ho found nothing to explain
(ho noises. Then lie descended to the
ground floor. He was In his bare feet
and moved without sound. He had to
move carefully, too. as the floors had
? In rotted and become shaky. Down
he'e the noises came to him more
plain, and he located them as coming
from the cellar. This was a part of
tlio house he had not visited yet. He
lid not so down now. He had more
?otirage than ninety-nine men in a hun
dred. but he balked at that. He knew
(hat it was like a dungeon down there
and .US uncanny things were to 1* met
with It would be lielow stairs. He re
turned to his bed and his sleep, saying
tint ho would Investigate when day
light came. *
After breakfast next morning the
Hi.v lighted his candle and started on
Ids trip. He had found the cellar tloor
fastened ou his flrst exploration
through the bouse. What had struck
hi 11 as curious was that the fastening
was on the other side. An Iron he
foil tnl In the kitchen was used as a
pry. and af;er ten (ninnies' work the
iloor was opened.
L'es. lii.- stair;, he f>ud below
:i i ellar and a subcellar. aa l down In
the la: or were the wine vaults. Th ? lad
misj'it have looked for fr-! a'r on de
scerdlng the stairs. b; : t'.i:?:e was
none. There w: j the blackest kind of
darkness In the cellar, wiib the heat
lug apparatus and Its pipes rusted
aw ay and fallen apart The door to
the subcellar was als>> fastened on tile
other side. The boy did not even stop
to wonder bow tfie person who had
made these doors fast ou the down
side could have afterward left the
house, but forced the second as be bad
the tirst. Iu the subcellar were seven
large wine bins and a large square
room. The air down there was purer
than on the parlor floor. A detective
would have paused to cogitate over
this, but the l?y didn't. He entered
the big room after mousing among the
wine bins for awhile, and the? lie git
his explaua'.iou of the clinking noises
he had heard the night before.
The room was the workshop of n
gang of counterfeiters. There were
bogus gold and silver coins lying about
almost by the bushel. There were
molds and dies and presses. There
were a furnace and several melting
pots. There were jars of acids and
hundreds of pounds of metal. There
were a table, chairs, lamps and dishes.
At the rear end of the n>om was n
small door, but this was lockSd with
a key and could not be pried open.
Joe had seen bogus coins and heard
nil aliout counterfeiters, and he was
soon aware of the Importance of his
find. When he had used up a couple
of hours looking aliout, he returned
upstairs, fastening the doors behind
him as well as he could. He had 110
Impulse to rush off to the police. As a
matter of f?ct, he remained in the
house for a whole week louger, going
out twice at night to purchase pro
visions before he made up his infold b
go back to the tailoring business.
Then he went to the police. His story
was not credited until a detective had
accompanied him to the house. Then
It was figured that the door from the
room led Into the big sewer In the a!
ley. and the police made a descent on
a hoarding house a block farther down
and captured three men who had been
counterfeiting for the past four years
and sending all their coin abroad.
They had used the big sewer as a
street to come and go and had carried
all material that way. M. QUAD.
