IN SITKA.
A Youngsters Views on a Trip to
Alaska.

Carl George, sonrof G. w. George,
in the employ of the United States
Revenue cutter Wolcotte, was in Sit
ka, Alaska, on July 18th, and on that
day he mailed letter to his father
which was written at various inter-
walls on the trip, whenever anything
happened to strike his brain as being
beautiful, curious or out of proportion
to nature. On July 6 the cutter was
at Port Townsend going north and
this is the way the young man touch
es up the.trip in the letter to George
pere:

We got the anchor up at 8 Is am. and
were soon underway for New What

$50 A. M.-We are off Deception
Pass. The weather is mild and beau
tiful. We are steaming through the
picturesque group of San Juan Isles
at times not over a hundred yards
from the huge rocks that rise abrupt
ly out of the water, skirting the shores
of the different Islands and studded
with huge fir, pines and cedars from

the waters edge clear to the rocky

tide-rips on our way through the Isles
I saw a number of Indians in canoes
but they kept clear of us.
The first town we met on the main.
land was Fairhaven. 1t is situated on
a gentle sloping hill. It's streets run
from the waters edge and are all level

DIDN'T SEE THE ELEPHANT.
Mr.. Ernest Thornquest Takes ;
Fall Out of the Circus.

To THE EDITOR: Now that the
"great" circus has come and gone we
may indulge in some general refec-
tons concerning the institution. And
the question arises "Is it an institu-
ton that deserves the encouragement
of Christian people?" I say Christ
ian" people, not that it is intrinsically
more right or wrong for them to at
tend it than it is for others, but be-
cause they, above all others, are sup
posed to recognize the necessity of
living "soberly, righteously, and godly
in this present world
Let us proceed according to the in
ductive method of study, as we try to
answer this question. So we shall
state certain facts and from them
draw conclusions.
Fact frst-Anything that needlessly jeop-
ardizes life is wrong.
How about the circus in this re-
spect? How about the trapeze per-
formers $50 or 200 feet in the air? Or
the woman encoiled with fiery SER
pents? And the accomplished" bare
back riders? Does not one occasional
ly fall from his lofty station, and as a
result cease forever to perform? And
does not serpent sometimes pene-
trate his deadly fangs into the flesh OF
his supposed lord? And does not
the rider at times slip under his horses
and become mangled and even killed
And all this for what purpose? Is
there any good end gained by it?
But says some one," such thing hap
pen very seldom" All! my dear
friend, only one such occurrence is
enough to brand the institution
causing it. We are not our own al
one time more than we are at another
Only when the highest ends are there.
by attained is jeopardizing ones life
allowed by Him who gave us life.
Fact two-Anything that lowers the
morals of people is certainly dangerou.

How about the moral influence oil

it lead:them to greater reverence fol-

fence shows that it does just the op-

the coal bunkers at New Whatcom.
At p. m. we coaled the ship and left
the dock, passing Fairhaven at 7 80 p.
m. Mt. Bakers snow capped peaks
can be seen projecting up through the
clouds to the northeast of us while
about 80 miles southeast can be seen
Mt. Rainier. We are making about
seven knots an hour.
We are about to pass between two
islands, after which we passed on and
sighted number of small sloops and
schooners. On land ranch houses are
to be seen here and there.
July We passed Victoria at $50
last night and we are now traversing
through the Straight of Georgia, with
the snow-white rocky mountains on
our starboard beam, while on our port
beam three miles from the ship is
Vancouver Island. At 10 a. m. we
passed Comox where we saw the Brit
ish cruiser Royal Arthur lying at an
Choir. At IL a. m. we reached Seymour
Narrows and waited for ebb tide in or
der to get through, starting at $3.50 p.
M, passing passenger steamer we'll
loaded with passengers singing my
Country IT'S of Thee" as they passed
lis on the way to Port Townsend. We
got through the Narrows and into
Johnson's Strait at 8 p. M, the wealth
or being a dead calm with the Their
mometer registering 20 degrees. We
passed mountains that rose abruptly
from the waters edge to height of
1000 feet with peaks covered with
snow.
July S-We are just entering Queen
Charlotte.Sound, passing a large rock
where the q. S. steamship Swanee was
sunk some years ago.
In the afternoon we passed num-
Der of Indian towns, saw good many
Indian graves and passed through
Melville Sound. At times the channel
was very: narrow. not over 800 yards
at most places and at one place we
could throw stones ashore on either
side. In the evening we passed Prince
of Wales Island on our port beam and
saw waterfall over the top of a
mountain.
July 9-We are passing through
some straits that are very narrow. At
one o'clock in the afternoon I could
see huge glaciers on our starboard.
TO the left of the glaciers, 5000 feet
above the sea, saw what people call
mountainous sugar loaf rocks, shaped
like loaf sugar.
July live arrived at Sjtka at
eight o'clock this morning. This Sit
ka is queer place. There are no
more than Is white families here The
rest of the people are Indians. Near
ly all of the buildings are log houses.
