ANOTHER PIPER?
Under the heading "Knows a Good
Thing'' the Juneau Dlspa ch has the
following nice tribute fir The Alaskan:
" The Skagway Alaskan kao.ts a goo a
thing when they see it. Being in the
hands of a trained newspaperman, they
naturally secured the best telegraphic
service. Formerly they took a small
fry service prepared on the top fioor of
the Al-ska building, now they have se
cured thei<ka?w*y link in the big Unit
ed Press service, which gives ihe news
up to 4 o'clock daily. In commenting
nu the change, the skagway Alaskan
?ays:
"The Daily Alaskan with this issue
becomes a member of the United Press
service, ?vbich operates a leased wire
tnroughout Alaska. The new service
w.ll make it possible for Tbe Alaskan
to give the news of the outside world
up to tbe ho tr of 4 o'clock in the af er
noon, which was impossible tinder the
old. The present service Is much more
expensive, but The Alaskan has faith
iu its pa:ron> and believes that the ad
ditional expense in the matter of ser
vice wiU be overcome by the increase
in patronage."
The Alaskan takes a pardonable
pride in the knowledge tnat its efforts
to give Skagway a good paper are being
appreciated abroad as well as at home.
The fact that a weekly newspaper is to
be established in this city in no manner
effects : he Aiaskan. In the first place
it feels certain that the business men
will not patronize a wi l-o'-thc-wisp
campaign sheet that will have no sub
stantial reas.'O for entering the field ?
in fact, have no excuse for coming ex
cept to espouse the cause of a political
buccaneer who cannot get tbe support
of this newspaper. The Alaskan is
being rue as a business proposition and
wears no man's col'ar. It will not
prvstitute i' >rlf to a defense of perso-s
who are against the welfare of Alaska,
and when the weekly newspaper, which
will do so, does co ne, if it comes as is
threatened, it will not find The Alaskan
sidestepping in opposing any issje which
its owoers may see fit to advojate that
is against the people.
SKA6WAY TIMES
Nothing would be mure pleasing to
the Daily Dispatch thai; to s-e the
town of Skagway forge to the head until'
she rivaled Juneau for the metropolis
of the coast. If ever there was in ?;l
Alaska an Atuericau town with wide
awak? enterprising merchants it wii
Skagway. h'ven to this day the old
guard stands fo the old camping place
as the be-t spot on earth.
But wbal we started to comment on
was the Skagwa\ spirit. Ai<>ag comes
L*e Guthrie with his business closed?
his property without a mrket? and
>ays that Skagway is a great town. As
one Skat wayite says "We hit the ball
and booit all tne time " It is the spirit.
In a fe f days mining men will be here
to examine Ba*in properties. How
many Juoeauites will bit the ball the
other way '' How many knockers will
be around sayinj "H? 1 it won't pay.?
Juneau Dispatch.
And why should not Skagway resi
dents and merchants be boosters,
and, as the Juneau paper puts it, "Hit
the bail all the time?" The tourist
trade this summer has been excellent;
fall business is opening up nicely and it
is certain '.hat with the building of a
line of the White Pass & Yukon rail
road into the rich copper fields near
Whitehorse, and application for the
charter has already been made at Daw
son, a smelter will be located here.
Surely Skagway people would be hard
to satisfy if they did other than boost.
CONDEMNATION OF HOGGATT
Skagway Republicans did not mince
matters at Saturday's night's primsry
wben dealing with Governor Hoggatt's

organized manner towards relieving
'Alaaka of the incubus that is at l he
head of the Alaskan government.
Governor Hoggatt ts outside the pale
of the Republican organization and he Is
bitterly loathed by AUskais generally,
