OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
Admitted as second class mall matter
July 8. 1S9S, at the Postotflce
at Stat way, Alaska.
L. S. Keller, Publisher.
A RARE JUSTICE
(Delineator)
Great daily newspapers are not
noted for kindness or generosity to
tiieir employees. When a man has
passed his days of usefulness to a
newspaper, when it has squeezed all
the good it rau out of him, he is I
thrown on the scrap heap, so to
sneak, and forgotten.
Hut there is at least one exception,
to this rule. On a certain daily iu
one of our large cities worked a mid
dle-aged reporter with a wife and!
tiireo children. There would soon be
another one, and the family was poor. ,
One evening there was a big fire.
Kvery paper had a half a dozen men
ac work covering it. The middle-aged
reporter was the only one available
i>t his office, and they sent hiut out,
on it. At o'clock in the morning
came the word that the man had beei
caught under a falling wall. It was
the next afternoon before they found
the body, scorched, crushed, almost
unrecognizable.
I'p in her cramped little flat, the
widow was crying softly, with her,
tnree little ones trying in their child
ish way to comfort her. Down in the
newspaper office the other men were
getting up a subscription list. They
asked the managing editor to contri
bute. He looked at them in sur
prise.
"The paper does not want you boys)
to take up a collection," he said.
"The management will look out fori
that. You may g<*t some flowers if:
you choose."
Then he s?-nt for the widow. When
f he stood tearfully in his office, he
turned to her gravely.
"Madam." he said, "we sent your
husband to cover a fire. He is still
covering it. I'ntil he returns we shal
expect you to draw his salary every
week."

CALE PRAISES WICKERSHAM
A recent issue of the Washington]
ID. C. ) Post says:
"It is not stretching the truth to J
say that 1 am delighted to retire from
congress," saiil former Delegate Tom
Cale, of Alaska at the Raleigh.
"Congress is no place for a man of)
luy training, because we miners want'
ie>ults. 1 believe Alaska will be ably,
represented by Judge Wlckersham.j
v ho will succeed me as delegate. He '
is a competent, upright man, who,
Las a forceful way with him that will,
compel consideration. He was elect
ed ou an independent ticket just as 1
v.as. which demonstrates very clearly
that the people of that territory do^
not believe iu machine methods, and!
that they are willing to select as their
representatives the men they think
are competent to fill elective posi
tions, regardless of party affiliations. |
"There is no question, however, as!
to the republicanism of 'Judge Wick- 1
ersham. Siuce his entry into the j
territory he has shown a keen appre- 1
ciation of the needs of our people,
and I believe that he will be able to j
secure far more than I have for them.
My experience in Washington has !
been an exceedingly pleasant one. Ij
i:>ade many good friends and I regret
the severance of these friendly rela- j
lions, but I am at the same timej
thankful that 1 shall no longer have
to occupy the peculiar position which
a delegate from a territory must
assume while attempting to serve the
people who send him here."
Peter Collier, who died in New
York Saturday, had the distinction of
founding Collier's Weekly, which we
believe to be the finest and most
influential periodical In the Knitod
Slates. Ills work will live after him.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow: for
thou knowest not what a day may
