SHORT BREEZY NEWS ITEMS
FROM THE NORTHERN PRESS
H. G. Robinson, for many years

eral mtax'lMMMttse stare at Sitka, has
. es:*,ue<i his position, and has left
' oKkh for the states.
The Ketchikan Shingle Co. is
a shipment of close to a
Mnured thousand shingles to West
oast of Prince^of Wales island poin 4
-j is week. The mill's product is
>'irst-class and meets with a steady i
market.
The steamer Northland this week
loaded a shipment of over 500 tons
01 ore at the It mine at Ketchikan
for the smelter at Tacoma. The ore
was gotten out during development
work during the latter part of the
last season, and according to assays
already taken, carries exceptionally
sood values. The present hUh price
of copper offers great inducements to
shipping at this time.
Emil Larson in charge of the
Wiese cannery at Rose Inlet, on the
west coast of Prince of Wales Island
brought to Ketchikan Ole Larson for
medical treatment, Wednesday of last
week. The injiuvd man was one of
a gang employed in clearing the site
for the new cannery when the cable
used in hauling the debris broke, and
the loose end struck him on the
back of the head. He recovered par
tial consciousness, but remained da?
ed. so he was brought here to se<
if something could be done for him.
L. M. Drury, the Fairbanks assay -
r, received from Falcon Joslin dur
?? the week, the returns from the
-Vpment of tin ore made last s'im
> ; .er. These indicate that the ore
e values of $336 to the ton. The
??re came from Joe Eg-Iar's work
ers on Tofty gulch in the Hot
rings district, and after beinp
?*'i:bifed at the New York land and
Irrigation show it was sent to Eng
land and assays made of it there'
-hfwed 55.49 per cent tin, 4 per
sulphur and a small percentage
arsenic. For the 1,234 pound J
pnie:'t a check for $208.S1 was
1 n _ned to Mr. Drury. At present!

Private advices received in .Juneau |
from Nome state that Dave .Martin,
a resident of Juneau for many years,
has gone insane and is in a hopeless |
condition. The word came in a mes
sage to l>r. J. K. Simpson.
Dave Martin's mental de line is
without doubt due to the experience]
he went through when the Juneau Ho
tel burned to the ground last Se:>tem-|
be^, taking the lives of ei :!>t ]*>rs ns.
Dave was a roomer at the hostelry,
but got out unscathed. After the fire
he said he didn't know how he ever
sot out of the burning building. He
was awakened from deep sleep by
the odor of smake, he stated, but
when he rushed to his room dorr a
wall of flame confronted him. Tie
knew nothing more until he reached
the street, slishtly burned on the
neck and shoulders.
For several davs after the fire Mar- 1
tin acted queerly and several times j
told friends that something was fol
lowing him with evil intent. When I
he talked about the fire he would [
cot excited.
Dave has for several rears repre
sented an Eastern fur hou?e, srK>nd-|
incr his time in Alaska pmrch-'sin?.
Word comes from lditarod that Wil
dam Sailes, a former Klondiker, com
mitted suicide in that camp. The
t'ioueer, in reporting the case, says:
William Sailes committed suicide
iast Saturday evening by hanging
rimself to the ridge pole of Lipsett
rirothers' cook house on Otter creek.
The body was cUcovered at 6 : -!0
o'clock and was not yet cold.
Apparently the man had looped a
rope around his ne k. mo ; r el a bo^
tied the rope to the ritl e pole and
'.ticked Uie box away. T.:o deed is
oelieved to have re-Hilt <! fcom a sud
len impulse, for he had planned to
?rive his friends a Christmas dinner,
and was quite cheerful while making
purchases with that end in view not
long before he was fonud dead. He
left no written explanation of the aot.
His false teeth and a pair of spec
tacles were found on a table, where
he .had evidently placed them just
oefore his di-ath.
Sailes was somewhat eccentric, but
was highly esteemed by ail who knew j
him. He cooked for Lipie'-t Brothers
iast summer and had about f lOu
whoa the works closed down in the
fall. He had spent some of his mon
ey, but recently told an associate,
Robinson, that he still had $200 in!
safekeeping. None of this money has
been located. He left no property.
LipseU Brothers defrayed the ex
pense of the funeral.
Commissioner E. M. Stanton went
out and held an inquest Sunday. The
body was then brought into lditarod. !
The deceased was probably a little!
less than 50 years old. He formerly
lived in Dawson, and had been in1
the lditarod a year or more. Inf rma
tion about his family is vague, but
his wife is said to he dead, and a
son. 21 years old. lives near New
Westminster, R. C., on Lulu is'and.
A brother and sister are living, but '
their addresses are unknown. In the
dead man's effects was found a Van
couver business card, on the reverse!
side of which is written "W. Sailes, j
Strand street. Sandwich, Kent, Eng-j
land."
FEBRUARY.
O MERRY month of valentines.
O February, short and sweet
And carrier of pretty signs
That make the youthful life complete,
I see you here with all your art.
And I am very much afraid
That I shall lose my only heart,
Tou leap year's first and busy aid!
How can the dullest youth escape
The thrill that comes along with you?
For when he sees the pictured shape
Of hearts, pierced by an arrow through.
And when the postman leaves a note
Made up of tinsel, (told ar.d lace
His mind recalls a shapely throat.
A mass of hair, a blooming face.
June frets the credit, more or less.
For all the romance in the land.
But it Is pretty safe to guess
That February takes a hand
In starting off upon the way
Ideas underneath the I. at
That will eventuate some day
In wedding bells and such as that
O February, short r.nd sweet:
O merry month of vilenllnes.
Tou get there with both dainty feet.
So skillfully you lav ycir lines!
And who begrudpos your success?
Not those who In attendance wait.
For if you cause some slight distress
Your pleasures more than compensate.
