The Daily Alaskan passed to my own
ership today. My sole reason (or pur
chasing the Alaskan, its plant and busi
ness Is that I deem it a good investment.
This newspaper Is as firmly established
as the town of Skagway. It is proposed
to conduct the Alaskan as an independ
ent newspaper, free from fealty to any
person, olique or party, but striving al
ways conscientiously to subserve the
best interests of Skagway. Alaska and
tne contiguous territory of Canada. An
endeavor will be made to emulate the
past record of the paper in keeping pace
with the advancing coadltlons of its
field. Advantage will be taken of every
increased telegraphic facility to extend
the news service, new machinery will
be Installed in the plant and new fonts
of the latest faces in the job department.
The Daily Alaskan will try and merit
the patronage it is seeking.
L. 3 Keller.
LAST O&D
Today the Daily Alaskan passes from
the oonuo of the undersigned, and it
becomes their painful duty to say go.-d
bve to the patrons and readers of the
paper, and to the Daily Alaskan, itself.
It I* no easy task
We have been connected with the
Daily Alaska- for many years (Mr.
Jensen since May, 1S93, and Mr. Troy
since October 17, 189V> and our associ
ation has been mure or less intimate
wiih the peop e who have made up Its
clientele. The connection and associa
tion have been far more than agree
able so far as we are concerned, and
why shouldn't it be?
The people of Alaska and the Can
adian North, wnose patronage and co
operation have made it possible for the
Daily Alaskan? the oldest daily news
paper in the district? to pass through
the turbulent ' survival of the Attest"
and to continue to live and prosper are
of the salt of the earth. No place in
the world has their equal. Their loy
alty, their patriotism, their generosity,
their nobility is unequalled. To them
are we ready to admit our everlasting
gratitude, and for them we wish only
the reward that is their merit? wbich
shoulj be sufficient to satisfy the most
ambitious.
For ourae'vea and our work here we
will say only this? we have done our
beau We have tried to make the Dally
Alaskan as good a newspaper as its in
come would permit, and we have at
tempted to serve the people and to do
right to the best of our abilities. We
have reorganized only one side to all
those questions whioh involve principle
?the right side. We only ask that
such failures as we have made be
charged to laok of ability and poor judg
ment.
For our successors we bespeak parti
cipation in the fullest degree in the
great future thfct is in store for Skag
way and Alaska when the people of the
North shall have acquired their civic
rights, and the wonderful resources ol
the country shail have Leen developed.
In their wcuk to hasten the approacn |
of that day, we can only ask that the
people of Skagwav and Haines and ihe
other communities of the North accord
them the s?me generous support they
have given the Daily Alaskan in the
past.

"Have you u diploma?" they ask.
"I tiiUn't know what answer to make
to the first customer that put that
question to me," said one dressmaker.
"I certainly did not have ti dlpioma.
I knew how to sew. but I had no cer
tificate to that effect. Floally I found
that many women have suffered so
grievously nt the haud9 of Incompe
tents that they were unwilling to trust
their work to a person who could not
show soma guarantee of experience
and efficiency, so. although I knew
more about sewing than half the fash

for four months so that I could polut

It pays auy dressmaker to arm herself
with credentials of that kind. She
ought to have her diploma framed and
hung on the wall like a doctor's diplo

Into uu open switcli and gave him such

said he was almost dead with exhaus

a room at once. Hardly had he gijne

and said he. too. must have a room Im

Barrymore's Dilemma.
Maurice Barrymore, the once famous
actor, was once In Ixindon with a new
piece whl<-h he was anxious to have
produced. He had read it to a man
ager. and It had been decided that he
was to play the leading role. About a
week after it was supposed to have
beeu definitely settled Barrymore re
ceived a note from the manager ask
lug him to call. Barrymore called, and
the matuger said: "I like the piece,
old fellow, but 1 don't see how 1 can
use you In the cast. Your beastly
American dialect won't do at ail, you
know. They won't have It."
"Well, that'9 Btrange," said Barry
more. "They told me on the other
side that they wouldn't have me on
account of my beastly English dialect.
What am I to do, give recitations oc
ttie transatlantic steamers?"
Only Slept There.
Dickens, looking for local color for
his novel of "Hard Times." visited
Manchester. He went through the hov
els of certain Manchester cotton spin
ners, and these foul houses filled him
with pity and horror. Meeting the
Manchester manufacturer who owned
them, he said:
"And do your employees really live
In such houses as these?"
"Certainly not" the manufacturer
replied. "They only sleep in them.
Tliey live in my mill."
Not Discouraged.
"Can't you realize that you're merely
wasting my time and your own?" com
