So far as Ketchikan i th • citizens

Now, what about ; building?
Will it be erected on the old site near the clouds
or will it be erected on lower ground, where it
should be? In stormy wether, it is an awful
f climb for the little ones. There isn’t much use
to cram their little heads full of book knowledge
if we break their hearts in doing so... Couldn’t
another location be found more in keeping with
their strength *
MAKE THEM BLOW BACK. SENATOR
A hint is enough from our Senator and it be- i
comes evident that Juneau has used our money
with which to dredge the Gastineau Channel
to feather its own nest. Selfishness pure a id
simple. Had Juneau been fair, our much need
ed Hoadley-Charcoal road would be a reality to j
day instead of a mere expectancy- However
when the legislature meet. Senator Heckman and
Representative elect Davies will attend to our
share of the money so dishone tly appropriated
by Juneau. Ketchikan citizens do not want a
renny they are not entitled from the territory,
hut insist in getting their rights; and we hope
that Juneau will be made to blow back with a
good measure.
DELAY NOT THE DECISION
Congress is soon to battle with the question of
a snail or large army for the country. But
: is the use of delaying a decision? Why not
'".■ he it large now and be prepared for any enter
geney. Later if we find less need for a large
r:nv, we car. reduce it. and much easier than we
n enlarge it. Most of the returning men
re nxious to remain in the service of their
rt:v. We may as well pay them in the ser
v':e as spend the money to protide them with
pi yment. and with the army of tnarchists
h ' in the field, we would be much safer.
JUST LIKE THEM. EH ?
From ail reports, when the Anarchists, alias
n-i.-hevists have nothing more to steal, no more
ecent :>. to murder, no more trouble to
make, they will put on a pious air and go about
begging for something to eat. It will be just
’■ke them, eh?
We all remember how easy it was to make
Ak~4:p. dry. As a matter of fact, it was no job
at . . The -hard job is here now, which is to
keep the dry part of it. But thtt is where we
