HAINES AND HER FUTURE
The action taken by Hainei oa Tues
day, voting for Incorporation, Is In line
with the spirit of the hour through
out Alaska. It means respon
sibility, progress, sell-confidence,
a belief In the future which is the flrot
essential toward a realization of any
career worth while. Haines has the
essentials for a career whlcn will be
foiced on her whether she will or not,
but it is for the citizjns themselves to
hurry the day of great things. There
are deposits of mineral In the near
vicinity of Haines such as will demand
development and the development of
which will make necessary the ettab
lishm-ut there of sources of supply.
The work going on In the vicinity of
Haines, now in the matter of the estab
ment of a water plant and of extension
of public roads, is giving a temporary
impulse which is but preparing the way
for a p;rmanent basis of big business.
Haines has known her resources for a
loo? tfme but she is now about to come
into her own in their development.
THE BEAUTY UNO CLEANLINESS MIME
IS III THE AIR
is it not an interesting coincidence
that just at this time when Skagway is
in the midst of an active campaign look
ing to cleanliness and beauty that this
letter here printed should come ad
dressed to the Alaskan fiom the little
village of Kake, away down toward
Wrangell, telling of how that village is
striving toward the same end, along th?
time lines, and is making groat pro
gress. The letter Is from Miss Anna
Vlrg nls Russell, who I&si fall came
from Washington city with credentials
of the bureau of education to work for
the betterment of the natives, Xlss
Russell has a national reputation as a
teachor and worker for civic better
ments of this character and evidently
fee's the limitations that the work of the
winter at Kake haa placed upon her,
and her ready imagination wings itself
at once from the things she has done at
Kske to the possibilities of all Alaska
in the same regard. She is writiog to
the newspapers of the towns of the
coast urging upon the people the very
work in which we are already engaged.
What she says is most opportune and
contains suggestions that may be fol
lowed to advantage here.
THE TOUCH OF BEAUTY ABOUT HOMES
Within each heart Is a latent love of
the beautiful. This finds expression In
some form in every life, la some in
stances it is exaggerated and the very
exaggeration then destroys the sym

metry and beauty itself. majority
of people regard dress from the stand

attractive la a almplo matter, yet often

If the back yardsjare utilized a- garden*

rubbish, sDd waste disappear. \ mcs

ground becomes when you watch the
seeds you have planted become tha vege
tables and plants wh-ch offord you con

cared for the result is a beautiful and
attractive town. People want to come

A way out of the reach of the main
line of the steamers, nestled down at
the foot of Us green covered mountain.,
Is an Alaskan village that in a quiet j
way Is stepping into the light aa a beau
tiful little Tl'toKO. This to the little
I Tillage of Kake. liny little gardens oi
I flowers and vegetables are being made
I wherever there is a vacant sp?ce, and
with these come also the wish to lm
prove in all other ways.
It is not necessary that a town or city
I should be on the route of great stoam
1 ers to make It a prosperous or beauti
ful city. It i? th0 individual enter
prise and interest that tells. The
I natives at Kuke expact to form a Civic
| Association sometime during May.
Committees will be appointed to over
' tee various phases-one a flower com
1 mittee to see that flowers are planted:
beach are kept clean; a garden commlt
a committee to see that streets and
t?e, etc. This simplifies the methods!
of accomplishing the *ork and enlists
the sympathy and Interest of all.
The work of Improvement In Kake
has an earnest leader in Judge Ernest
Kirberge who leaves nothing undone
that will add to the growth and better
mentofKake. What is being done in
this village is given as an instance of j
what may be done In other villages and
towna. With the grand mountain
backgrounds which nature has so gen
erously 'given Alaskan towns, It only
needs the co-operation of the people to
make each town a beautiful spot In Its!
green setting. Alaska may become the
Switzerland of America.

There Is said to have been some jug
glery in the matter of the Nome con
! test looking the to possible candidacy of
I our old frieid Richard Ryan. Chsir
| man of the Central Committee Sheldon ,
! declares that a wire was sent out from i
Washington to the effect that Cale j
would be a candidate? this without '
Cale's consent? with the purpose of
securing Cale proxies to be converted
in the voting to Ryan proxies? If there
are enough of them to have any chance
1 at all.
President Roosevelt yesterday named
a man to succeed District Attorney Har
lan. Today the customary kick Is be
ing registered against the appointment
by every Alaskan in sight. Whatever
els* the president may think about Al
aska he has found out that, so far a*
kicking is concerned, we are Johnny on
the Spot, carrying bells.
Of all the light horses Id the demo
cratic race thore are none that have a
right to that color? if you would ask
the Alaskan? to much as the dark
home, Governor Folk.
The Guggenhelms have at least the
| right to build those bridges oTer the
Copper river? but will they do It?
The idea of anybody trylog to "extort
money" torn Helnze. He works that
side of the street himself.
They have Harry Thaw Umporarily
back where he belongs? in jail.
Dont forget the water rent.
A POSER
If Aona Gould should hapyly lay
Her hand la Hole's hand to hold,
And sigh. "Let's msrry anyway,
Though Brother George may still
withhold
Permission and may keep the gold;
We'll have each other still for aye,
And bo, though poor, by love consoled"
We think we know what he would say.
If Stephen Elklns should receive
A letter from the potentate
Of Jtily, requesting leave
To wed Abruzzl to his Kate,
And if the seal should scintillate
With gold, and pictured an array
Of mystic symbols of the great?
Wo think we know what he wouldsay.
If Peary had at last contrived
To malce the polo from Greenland's
shore,
To find that Welln an had arrived
Upon the spot the day before,
And bad put up some three or four
Sign-postsdirecting "PoleTh a Way,"
And was engaged at planting more?
We think we know what he would say.
It Mr. Bryan's wioklup
Were duly sought with 'he advice
That Jobnson should be taken up
And Mr. Bryan run for vice,
Considering they've licked him twice
And can relick bim any day
In that deft fashion called a trice?
We think we know what he would say.
! But if the entry for the fall
To win the presiJeDtial belt
Is not to be Bill Taft at all,
J But in the wind up Rooeevelt,
As If the cards had all been dealt
With u^guessed Machlavellan crsft?
We wonder what T. Roosevelt
Will have to say to William Taft?
