RCCORDCOLD
Yukon Temperatnge Lowest
1q History
The present cold wave has developed
Into one of the very coldest la the his
tory of the north. The temperature,
according to the record of EL D. Clark,
volunteer ^weather observer, was 15
degrees below zero this morning, and
the indications are that it will be even
colder tomorrow. Only twioe before
has this degree of cold been equalled in
thewhite men's history of Skagway.
In January, 1901, and again in 1903, it
was a degree or two colder than It is
now.
The interior record is eyen worse. At
Dawton the thermometer registered 70
degrees below zero this morning. The
coldest previous record was 68 below,
which point has been reached on two
occasions. At Ogilvie the Instruments
refused to make a record. They are
frozen up.
Heavy fog, caused by the escaping
heat, hangs heavily over Lynn casal.

ATfLICTION TO
BE REMOVED
(Douglas News.)
Recent press dispatches from the na
tional capital indicate that Alaska is
about to be rid of that malignant afflic
tion known as John G. Brady, who has
misrepresented the people of Alaska,
as governor of the district. ' i
The report of special agent Churc
hill was not favorable to Brad;; and he
will be allowed to quietly sneak out the
backdoor of puilicity. There was a
time when Brady might have retired
from public life with at least the re
spect of his fellow citizens, but that
time is past and gone, and you never
hear him spoken of now as "Honest
John Brady."
The fact that Brady was and always
has been absolutely incompetent was
not sufficient in itself to dislodge him.
However, when the Churchill report
revealed the fact that he had used his
official position to aid in the formation
and financing of the mining company,
that fixed him.

Haddock Mark*.
Why do haddocks .carry those pe- ,
cullar black "finger marks" near the ,
head? Some tell us that they are a
memento of the pressure of St. Peter's j
fingers when he went fishing for the )
tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast i
of England they say the devil once de- j
termlned to build a bridge at Filey.
His Satanic majesty did not start the
bridge for the convenience of the peo
ple, but for the destruction of ships
and sailors and the annoyance of fisher
men In general. In the progress of his
work Old Nick dropped his hammer in
to the sea. Snatching at it hastily, he
caught a haddock, and all haddocks !
carry the Imprint of his black Angers
to this day.
Conceit.
Conceit is essential to rapid advance- j
ment? not overconceit, but conceit in I
reasonable volume. The conceit of
youth becomes the assurance of old
age. If you're master of your conceit,
you have back of you a slave of unlim
ited assistance. If conceit is your mas
ter, you're doomed to failure. Bu;
don't cultivate self conceit. It's a lusty
^lant Give it half a chance and it 1
will outgrow your self respect.? N. C. .
