Ter returns, was a woman of many noble
traits of character, true and everlasting as
the rock of Gibraltar. as deep and ever
abiding as the eternal ocean, and she never
failed to carry her true womanhoOd into her
home and among her family and friends.
In her connection with the schools of the
west her lovable and sweet character was
highly priced. Her word was her bond, she
despised an untruth, mean act or an untrue
friend. She Stunned hypocrisy, and was
an enemy to everything not upright, just
and honest, passionstely fond of nature she
found nothing but beauty and grandeur In all
its products. She loved the rose as we'll as
the thistle. She gave of her ample means to

her noble soul. Those left behind to mourn
her loss are deprived of wise counsellor
whose advice will be sadly missed"

side world, and any success that has been eshewed has been the result of persistent effort on the part of our citizens. It is a well known fact that the only foun dation on which Skaguay ha- been able to stand is the support it has received from the news papers published in Seattle. This is especially true of the Seattle Post Intelllgencer, a sen sational publication of limited circulation, issued in the inter- ests of the publishers. Wran- gel has never paid tribute to ''yellow journals" but has pre- ferred to stand on it's own foun- dation supported by facts alone, and on this basis WrangCl will continue to grow end prosper. Our citizens age enterprising and they have a rich country tributary to them on which to draw. Such conditions, and no other, will make a permanent rand prosperous center of busi- ness.

IT is now settled beyond a doubt that there is to be railroad from Glenora to the Interior. Already men are at work doing the necessary grading preparit- ory to construction work. The building of a railroad is a matter that has long been neglected ow- ing to various reasons and the fact that capitalists have begun operations in earnest is taken as an evidence of the faith in the future of that wonderfully rich country adjoining the head of steamboat navigation on the Sti- keen River.

HE people of Wlangel have just cause to be jealous of our sister city to the South, e.

THE JOURNAL wishes to take this opportunity to call the atten- ton of the Hon. Charles $. John son, Judge of the District Court of Alaska, that it is within his province to appoint acommission- CT for Wrangel, who not alone be capable of understanding the law but also willing to administer the law hororably and honestly. We beg to call the attention of Judge Johnson to the fact that the present commissioner, Fred Page -Tustin, is a man wholly unfit for the position. He hos used the office which he now occupies, for personal gain.
 He has put mon in prison with out due process of law.
 He has charged illegal fees.
 He has accepted an overcoat.
 He has done sundry and other things not compatible to the dignitied position which he now occupies.
 The people of Wrangel are tired of his rule and pray the Court and the honorable judge to grant us relief. Any change must of necessity be a change for the better. No man, other than Fred Page -Tustin, could drag the position of United States Commissioner deeper in the mire of popular disgust than he has done. In the name of the free and liberty-lovlng peo- pie of Wrangel we ask, and even demand relief-and in making the demand-we are simply de manding our right, i. e. JUSTICE.

THERE seems to be no end to the arrival of stra9olers from the Edmonton trail. Tine stories of hardship and suffering which they tell is heart-rending in the extreme and show a total ab- sence of any principle of human ity on the part of those who first advocated that route as d mea,ss of reaching the KlOndikc. If the promoters of the EdHomton death trap had stated that t.!eir route led by way of the North Pole, there would no doubt been Ome fools who would have chosen 1t as an cary route, but they would have been few in comparison to the number who are known to have perished on the Edmonton trail and still less in comparison to the number who have managed to get back to civilization physical wrecks, without having reached the gold fields, and untitted by reason of ruined constitutions, to resume their former occupations. Many of these Wrecks, of formerly strong men, must of necessity become dependent on friends or public charity for the remainder of their lives; and the greatest regret is that the "wolves' who induced them to seek that route cannot be made to suffer with the innocent "lambs' who were victims of their greed.
