HOPES OF PARADISE
Oh threats of hel: and nopesof paradise!
Oae thing at least Is certain ? this life
flies;
One thing Is certain and the rest is lies;
The flower that once has blown for
ever dies.
Of these four famous lines by Old
Omar the first two are true and the rest
is lies. But this ouvraln Is only rung
in at this time by way of saying that
while we are considering so msny grea?
under takings for the benefit of Skagway,
all of which it Is such a pleasure to re
cord, we must not los.- sight of the nec
essity of cleaning up and the desirabil
ity of addiag here a-d there? every
where that it may be made effective?
the touch that beautifies. In the spring
the young man's fancy and the older
man's also, turns to these things, when
nature is awakening from her sleep and
putting on her robes of bright color.
Aud spring is fleeting? June and the
warm summer will be here in a few
days when we shall wish to enjoy the
re>ult of what we might do now in the
way of beautifying. Let us clean up
t> st acd (hen plant and adorn.
A PITIFUL CANDIDATE
'Tbe friends of Governor Hoggatt go
into the convention llt> ttronr; Fife; of
these votes are uncontested." Ketchi
kan Cable to the Juneau Record.
These friends of Governor Hoggatt
went to the convention with 66 contested
proxies ? 116 strong? and swallowed
a platform that cries loudly for territor
ial government, nominated a man who
bwes his claim on the support of the
peoDle upon a fervid speech he made in
which every line cried out agaiost the
neglect of Alaska, suffered at tbe
hands of the congress of tbe United
States, for that they had held the people
in boodage so long? the friends of Gov
ernor Hoggatt did this. And Governor !
Hoggatt spent the winter io Washing*
too telling that Mame congress that Al
aska was "not rip? for self govern
ment." that government by courts
was the thing.
What can you expect from a candi
date who cries oat against our present '
condition as one "to excite tbe sympa
thies of future ages" and who on the
first opportunity eagerly accepts a nom
ination at the hands of Governor Hog
gutt with his sixty-six contested prox
ies 3ow qou'd Mr. Corson have gotten
a nomination at the hands of Governor
Hoggutt's friends. 116 strong, fifty of
which were uccontested?? Governor
Hoggatt, who thinks we are not ripe
how cou'd he have got'ej It? Is it like
ly that these 116 proxi s when they gave

THE ROAD 10 DENVER Glffl
If It may be found that the road to
Denver glacier is a practicable thing to
be done, that Its cost Is not too much to
be assumed by the citizens of Skagway,
then it is a thing that should be under
taken at once abd never a pause allowed
to Intervene until it is accomplished.
A run to Denver glacier, only six miles
away, would be a thing no visitor to
Skagway would go away without enjoy
ing. It is a mcM. inviting undertaking.
It would serve to detain visitors for
days together in the city. Citizens and
bualness men will do well to canvass the
matterlhoroughly and at once? "this
life flies."
"The resolutions may mildly endorse
Governor Hoggatt's administration."

paper, the Juneau Record.
It Is faint praise that damns? this
