History repeats itself in the Klondike gold excitement. If gold had never been discovered in the great quantities in which it nas been in the far northwest, the great territory would never have been exploited, and forever would have remained terra in cognita. Like Australia aand California, the northwest will now become thoroughly known. We predict that, out of the many millions who will come, millions will remain. Quartz, coal and oil mining will hold them.

It would seem that the fire and water questions would be the first to engage the attention of the chamber of commerce. There is absolutely no protection in case of fire, and on that account the utmost care should be exer- cised by all to prevent any such catastrophe. Some steps should be taken at once to give a good supply of water. This is a pub lie question, to which private in terests should be subordinate. It would be a great pity to see the valuable property along the water front destroyed, and it is in this feeling that we write. We suggest that some steps be taken without delay.

Reports of the good condition of the Stikeen river trail con- tinue to come in daily. About twenty-five hundred people are now on the trail, less those who by this time have arrived at Tele- graph Creek, of whom there are quite a number. The facts are that the ice on the river is frozen firm and hard, the trail is well beaten, and the two-thousand or more people on the trail are moving right along, followed by new arrivals every day. These good conditions may last another month before the ice will break and come out, and the river be free for navigation.

The Seattle Post -Intelligencer and the Victoria Times, we are sorry to note, have of late been publishing some islanders on this place. Whatever the motives were that prompted these lies, they do not hurt, if at all but for a short time. Be fair, gentle men, is all we ask, not only for ourselves, but for your own sakes, that you may have less to answer for in the day of judg- ment. If, however, you persist in repeating your falsehoods, we shall be compelled to resort to some severe measures to check your wicked work.
