He Choose the Less Evil

One day this week gentleman who was in from Orc Blanco, was engaged in conversation by Peg Leg the custom house sensation came up. and in tse course of his remarks Peg Leg took occasion to say:
 Well, l never had much use for Chenoweth, anyhow"
 But you have always supported him, commented the visitor
 "Yes, but you see it was this way: It was either Chenoweth or Bird and Harlow. Now they are so much more rascally than Chenoweth that went with him as the less of two evils"
 Now, wasn't that nice plea to make?
 Why. anyone who knows Peg Leg knows he would carry Off the Lords supper and go back after the table clothl

What is the Connection2

A special to the Gazette read as fol- lows:
 MORALES, Aril., 24 The various telegrams sent out from here and re- ceived at this point bearing upon the removal or retention of Collector Chenoweth have all been more or less unreliable. MT. Chenoweth have been for weeks in Washington and is still there, but not one word has been re- celved from Chenoweth since he left this town. and while it is thought he has been removed still nothing to this effect have come over the wires. The line riders and deputy collectors are disturbed about their positions.

A Remarkable Contrast of Facts
 With Fiction.
THE PHOENIX ENTERPRISES
Fake Account of NogaIes Local History, and the Final Outcome of the
 Chenoweth Case.

Upon the 2zth Of July the Phoenix Enterprise published very sensation al story recounting how II. K. Cheno- weth had succeeded in securing re in statement in the post of collector of customs for the district of Arizona after having been dismissed for cause. The fake story in the Enterprise filled nearly two columns of that paper, aud in about one-half of the space devoted thereto consisted of Tremendous scare. heads, double column in width. Those scareheads read: Harry K. Cheno- weth Collector of Customs. The President Has Reinstated Him at the Port of NogaIes. A Most Remarkable Case Without Precedent After Carefully Reviewing the Charge the President Withdrew the Name of W. H. IIoey of Indiana, and Has Sent II. K.

ALAsKA's REPRESENTATIVE.

Before adjourning, the recent con- vention elected Hon. J. c. Price, of Skagway, to represent Alaska at Wash ington City during the coming session of Congress, and this selection is un- doubtedly as wise and good as could be made when the interests of the entire district are taken into consideration.
 Mr. Price is twenty nine years of age and lawyer by profession, which he has followed since he graduated from the law department of the Iowa State University in 1893. He came 10 Skag- way among the very first and has ranked as one of the leading lawyers of the district.
 Socially, Mir. Price is a most pleasant gentleman, of pleasing address and a man we'll suited for the responsible po- sition to which he has been chosen. It is now the duty of every town and min ing camp to contribute toward the eX- pense of sending him to Washington, and we doubt not they will cheerfully do so.
 The Dora brought down from the Cook Inlet country on her last trip a number of gold hunters, and among the number were MT. and Mrs. Pierce, w. w. Price and his niece, Miss Essie Price, John Renner, William Beedy and Robert Michaelson. They are gO- ing back next season.

ONE OF THE OLD BOYS.
A Man Who Run a Ferry Here Fifteen
 Years Ago.

One of the down passengers on the Dora last week, was MT. Robert Mich aeIson, who first came to Alaska way back in the very early eighties. He knows all the old settlers around Doug las City and Juneau and ran ferry between these two places in 1884-5 with a Columbia river boat rigged with sails. The fare at that time was twenty five cents, but to Indians, it was sometimes cut to ten. In those days, there was competition part of the time, and Capt. Martin, now of the Lone Fisher man, ran small steamer between the two places. We listened to some of the experiences of these two old salts, as related by them, and it was indeed in- teresting. The changes that have taken place on this channel since 1884, have been varied and numerous. MT. Michaelson went up to Cook Inlet in 1895, and struck it all right. He is a part owner in a group of the best placer claims in that country. These claims were worked for five years by the pres ent owners, but they recently bonded the property for S4OOOOOO.
 From here, MT. Michaelson will go to South Dakota to visit his mother and other relatives. He will return to Alas ka in the spring.

SHE FINDS A PROTECTOR.
The Marriage Bureau of the Dispatch Claims to Have Caused the Union of two People,
 shyness and Physic.

One of the best known men on Doug las Island was married last week. The bride came from the East on the City of Seattle and the couple met for the first time in Juneau. Both being ap- parentIy we'll satisfied, the marriage cerem ony was performed, and they are now living happily together in this city
 The Dispatch of the 2Oth inst. takes credit for bringing these two people together. The names were omitted and we do likewise. The description of these two people, as it appeared in the Dispatch, is, however, so original and unique that we cannot refrain from taking some extracts as follows:
 "The husband is big, robust Alas kan citizen, and the intended bride Is small and of delicate mould of figure.
 X x As to their names we must at this time remain discreet, as the ln.. tended bride is shy and the groom ot powerful physic."
 This is certainly news to the people of Douglas Island where the groom has lived for long time. We will venture the assertion that not one of his friends, and he has many, know that he is a powerful physic." If such is really the case, we extend condolence in stead of congratulations.

The Right of Petition.

Postmaster Stubbins informs us that the following petition will be presented to the residents of Douglas Island for their signatures this week. It is self explanatory:
 DOUGLAS, ALASKA, Oct. "A, 1899. To the Honorable Postmaster General,
 Washington, D. c.
 Your petitioners respectfully show that under the present system of mail service the boats carry the mails direct Iy past Douglas, Alaska, distance of about three miles, in coming to and going from Juneau, Alaska, necessi- tating a local delivery between Juneau and Douglas, thereby endangering the safety of the mails as well as causing great inconvenience and delay.
 Therefore, the undersigned residents of Douglas, Alaska, most urgently pray that the service be so arranged that mail boats will be required to first land the mail at Douglas City, before pro- ceeding to Juneau, on northbound trips and shall be required to land and col Iect mails on southbound trips after leaving Juneau, thereby enabling us to secure prompt receipt and dispatch ot mails.

A Pointer.

Last Saturday night the Flosie brought down the Haines and Skagway mail. By the grace of the postofice department, it was carried past our town and safely deposited in the Ju- neau postohice, where it remained un- til Monday evening, at which time the Island mail was brought to this city.
 The Douglas Island delegation in the convention neglected the one grand opportunity it had to bring this mat ter to the attention of Congress. The postofffce department will do nothing for us-we must look to the law mak- ing body, and now the best means that will be offered for years has been pass ed by.
 When the voters turned down Mir. Boyd they made great mistake. His experience in convention work has been such that he would not have let this opportunity pass. Narrow mindedness at the polls will gratify personal spite it will also build up Juneau while Douglas City is standing still.
