THKUK SHK BLOWS!
With the first falut tints of Au
tumn lllumiuating the hillsides ov
erlooking Skagway Bay, the fatuous
?school of whales which have besport
eU themselves lu the waters of
l.yuu Canal for the past several
seasons, made their appearauce.
As if to remind us of the ap
proaching winter these deulzons of
the deep came up to the wharf, and
presented their greetings to those
whose duties keep them lu that lo
ality, by sending forth a small wat
erspout, which greatly resembled au
explosion of a submarine mine.
For the next several months thes
hugh monsters will remain with us
if unmolested, but it is feared that
we have among us those who have
murder lu their hearts, for yesterday
the crack of a rifle was heard
everal times, and it is believed
that the shots were directed at the
shales. We are loth to believe
this, for everybody in Skagwav has
?'iijoyed watching the school of
whales play, and many have stood
for hours on the various docks, wait
mg for an opportunity of seeing
them at close range, and getting a
i;ood "snap shot" with their kodaks
as they come to the surface toi
ST. I\U*L TO PAKIS BY RAIL
A railway line from the United
States to Alaska is being suggested
l.y the premier of British Columbia
He proposes that capitalists or the
governments of the United States and
Canada should join In extending a|
to the Yukon and thence westward
into Alaska. The project, of course,
is only a dream at present but it Is
'iot?beyond the range of posslbillttes,
nor even of probabilities. There are
no Insurmountable engineering diffi
culties in the way. The only serious
drawback that would appeal to cap
italists is the Improbability of getting
enough traffic to make the road pa>
dividends ou its cost. Such a line
undoubtedly would be a great factor
in openiug up the natural resources
of Alaska and in the development of
the country. It Is quite likely that
it would be a dividend payer after a
few years of operation .
A further interesting possibility is
that of extending a line to the far
thest west point on the Alaskan pen
insula. Another line extended north
eastward from the Trans-Siberian
road could connect with the Alaskan
road by means of car ferries. It Is
possible, therefore, that within a
comparatively short time a traveler
will be able to go from St. Paul to
Peking by rail, or to Harls ? and if
uel is completed to Loudon ? wlthou
changing sleeping curs. The compli' j
tlon of the Pau-Amerlcan Ry. will |
make It possible to go from St. Paul |
to Central and South American clt- 1
les, and 11 Is not unlikely that In a
few years It might be possible to
reach railway centers In Asia and
Africa, as well by way of the Alaska
Siberian route.
1 l\VS OF FltlK.NDSHIP
Th.-; 'aws of friendship are well
known. They have been codified
and <u'knowle<'red from Socrates
down.
Theac are some of them. To find
perfect friendship two persons
should have similar tastes, (2) they
should bo of the same blood or na
tionality, (3) tbty should be of the
same position In society, of the same
rank, -Joss or ccudltlou of fortune,
(5) they ahould have the same or
similar iutesests, (6) their natures
or dispositions aaould be unlike.
There laws are perfictly true,
they a?"5 drawn from human nature,
they are consecrated by the authori
ties of the sa{,??.
There Is oulv cne difficulty wl h
them? every mm and woman en
earth s an exce ?*'on.
In iuo '- se of each one of in
these laws are made for all other"
except o'irself.
For \vh?*n the friend comes ho
overflows Ue channels of the ex
pected -s ti'? Mississippi in a spring
freshe.; he enters our preconcelv
ed magazine of n >tious as a bull en
ters a china sl.op; he minds the
fences of our philosophy as a giant
might mind the 'ences of our farm
He comes as a fever comes, as
madness or a mood. He Is a bolt
from the blue. He Is snow In sum
mer. He Is a miracle. For he
omes from that mystery of person
allty, which no man can fathom, ant
speaks to our own Inner plumblews
deep. Woman's World.
