ALASKA AS A PROBLEM SOLVER.

The touch of penury is the anti
thesis of that touch of sympathy
which makes the whole world kin.
And Just now when the pinch of pov
erty and the carktng care which en
cumber tens of thousands of hornets in
this great republic, we may well cast
:? round within our own horizon aiulj
see how it fares with the people of |
Alaska. We may lay it dowu as a !
postulate that the keen edge of ad
versity. so often felt by our less for-j
tunate brethren elsewhere, is not]
found iu Alaska. Hut it is useless I
to moralize; so Ions as men continue !
to congregate and rot iu the great
cities, so long will there be a
problem of the unemployed ? we care
not how many of the ecouomlc and I
sociological problems be solved. The
cities are overburdened, the country
ii neglected.
There is room today in Alaska ev
en under existing conditions, for a
large population ? men and women
who are made of the right warp and
woof. For the idle, the vicious, there
is no place, but for the strong and in
dustrious and courageous, a wide fiel
Is offered for their activities ? a field
in which they ran, if they will, be
come more than hewers of wood and
drawers of water; where honest and
patient effort and enlarged opportun
ities will bring a more certain re- 1
ward than can. in the very nature of
things, be found in the congested J
cities of men. To these Alaska
points the way; if they have soinej
means of their own so much the bet- j
te. for them, but if they can muster!
n.- ught else save stout h?irts and j
willing hands, their efforts will not [
be unrewarded. ? Katalla 'Herald.
Rich or poor, strong or weak, every
uuui who does not work is a worth
It ss creature, and. therefore, every
human being should learn a trade, a
real trade, involving manual work.
This is necessary in oriU?r to destroy
the prejudice which holds manual
work iu contempt. Work (or the
sake of the principle, if you do not ]
have to work from necessity. De
scend to the level of the workman in j
crder to rise above your idle class. ?
Rousseau.
The deposed Sultan of Turkey
paid llo.000.0oo to save his life. He
places a higher valuation on it than
any one else does. But then that's
ratural enough. And what good j
would the money do him if he were
i!? ad?
What is my strength that 1 should |
hopr? and what is mine end that I j
should prolong my life? ? Job, Chap- ;
ter 6?11.
The capture of a party of American
tourist x. by Morroccan brigands should
furnish a capital theme for a comic
opera.
The permanency of Alaska's quartz |
mines assures the future prosperity
and development of the country.
The popularity of the "unwritten I
law" was given a severe setback by
the conviction of Capt. Hains.
Alaska needs home rule.

There is certainly an nlr of refine
ment and style about the
EATON, CRANE & PIKE.'
writing papers, but these are by n
means the only requisites that they
possess. Theso papers arc beauti
f>.* to look at, agreeable to the touch,
take the stamp of the monogram die
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, and are absolutely eo
rect as to size and shape.
Wo carry many of the Eaton,
Crane & I'ike writing papers, and can
recommend them all.
We also recommend other lines of
cur complete stationery stock, such a
blank books, tablets, writing material
a fine assortment of Waterman's and
