No wonder.

The reprehensible practice of kissing
babies. and thereby subjecting them to
danger OF contagion as well as to dis
comfort and annoyance, is so hard to
suppress that one cannot greatly mar
vel at the means of combating the
practice which a certain father is re-
ported to have adopted.

friend asked this prudent father, .shave
you taught your baby to eat onions ?"
1T keeps people from kissing him, !"
answered the father.

Big Records with Few Hens.-we are
constantly reading of big records as to
profits being made by few hens. This
is due largely to the fact that in small
flock the chances are greatly in favor
of the hens having proper treatment.
They get the kind OF food necessary to
keep them in good condition. They get
a great variety of food, usually the ia
BILE scraps, and, lastly, they have more
room In which to pick up green vegeta-
bles and bugs. Then, too, they have
more chance to exercise. Added to
this the immunity from diseases and
we have a combination that produces
good results. The same thing may be
done on a large scale, but 1t win talss
greater OUTLAWS and more labor and at
tention on the part of the poultry
owner.

There must be a "nigger IN
the wood pile" and it is the
duty of the Chamber of Com
merce to find him. The steamers
going south carry large num-
Der OF passengers, most of them
have money. Heretofore it has
been the custom for the steamers
to give their passengers from
30 minutes to an hour or two to
look our town over, see our
totem poles, which are acknow.
lodged to be the finest in Alaska,
purchase a few curios or furs,
take a drink or buy a cigar, as
Wrangel is the "last chance" be-
fore leaving Alaska for them to
do so Now, things are changed,
the power behind the throne
compels them to blow the half
hour whistle just as they tie-up
and to warn the passengers not
to leave the dockas eve pull out
in few minutes. Sometimes
the boat stops an hour or more,
but, still the poor passenger is
afraid to come up town for fear
of getting left. Will our Cham

The Quebec Conference has
adjourned once more, to meet
again at Washington. While the
commissioners maintain absolute
silence as to the detailed results
of their deliberations so far, the
official announcement is made
that considerable progress
marks their work. Coming di-
rect from the chairman of the
Commission, this means much,
and there is better grounds to-
day than ever for the hope and
belief that very substantial re-
suits will be the outcome of the
convention. The very fact that
the Commissioners have decided
upon a name for the treaty and a
place where it shall be signed is
eXcellant indication of this.

SATURDAY. NOV. ). 1898.

As this is the first number of
the Journal issued from our new
Office in the McKinnon block, on
Front street, it is deemed adj
visable to give a short resume of
the growth of the paper in the
past and its policy in the future.
The Journal first saw the Ii ght
of day on January LIST 1898, being
started by the merchants of
Wrangel with a view of calling
public attention to the vast re-
sources of south eastern Alaska
and the Stilkeen river route to the
Yukon.
The venture proved successful
from the start and except for a
short struggle during the de-
preston of last summer, the bust
ness has steadily grown until ii
has been deemed advisable to
form stock company, to be
known as the Journal Publishing
Company, WHO will in future
manage the affairs of this paper.
1t shall be our policy to bend
all our energies for the advance
ment of our city and the people
of Wrangel. We shall fearlesSly
publish the news of our city and
surrounding country, hewing as
close to the line as possible and
letting the chips fall where they
may.
We intend, in the near future,
to put in a book bindery and as
soon as business will warrant the
paper will be made a semi weekly
publication.
1t is earnestly hoped that our
undertaking will merit a continu-
ance of the liberal support of all
classes of our people.
Stikeen River journal., 1898-11-05

1t is the province of news
paper to furnish it's readers with
all the news obtainable, and the
present management of the Jour
nal will always endeavour to
keep up this standard.
In the case of the Mulcahey
woman, the Journal representa-
tive was baked at every turn of
the road, by parties who scanned
to be most interested, in his eff
forts to get at the truth of the
matter. Had the parties who
were conservant with the facts
come out openly and made a
statement to our representative
when called on, giving true ac-
count of the matter, we should
not have been misled into pub
fishing the article that appeared
in our last issue regarding the
affair.
From the investigation of the
matter before Judge Tustin, it
appears that the Sullivan girl
was constantly abusing the child
of Mrs. Mulcahey, and after
being several times requested by
Mrs. Mulcahey to cease the abuse,
" hich she failed to do, and for

SINCE our last report the progress o.
the war seems to have been at a stand
still. Reports come one day and the
papers take up their columns the next
in denying them. The government o.
ficials have at last decided to keep
their plans secret, and this is, indeed,
"a wise move. The country is full of
Spanish spies and the movements of
our ships and men have been as put
lie as if no war was in progress. Dew
ey's feet still holds the day at Manila
and SIMPSONS ships are putting in
their time by chasing to places where
they hear the enemy's tubs or located.
In the mean time the Spaniards are
keeping out of the way and watching
their chance to get in a blow that will
tell. The army is modified at south
crn points and is waiting for orders to
invade Cuba. The volunteer army is
about in condition and is being con-
centrated at Chickamauga ready to
assist the regulars in case they are
needed. The Kentucky troops are not
ready, as they had to be furnished al
most out and out with everything
nee led by a soldier. The Govern
mems decision 10 keep its plans Sc
