Ex-Gov. ncGraw.

The appointment of court commis- sioner and justice of the peace at Cape Nome has been rendered to Ex-Gov. John H. McGraw and he will probably accept the position, for the latest re- ports from Seattle are to the effect that the ex-governor did not return from Rampant City with much gold.
 Gov. McGraw is one of the best and truest men that ever lived and we trust that if he accepts the position, he will make fortune out of it.
 The office of court commissioner will probably be a good paying office after congress meets, for it will no doubt be given an increase of jurisdiction eX- tending to civil matters. At present no civil jurisdiction is attached to the of flee.

Chinatown Rates.

The Daily Alaskan of Skagway says it has been trying to hold up prices on job printing in that city to fair living profit, but owing to cutting of rates in other offices, the Alaskan will give the people of that town some cheap printing. Newspaper men will not, it seems, stand in for uniform prices and it will not be long until Seattle prices will prevail in this district. Down this way the heavy cutting is done on ad- vertising rates. Every newspaper in Juneau ought to make some money, for it is a rattling good town to patronize newspapers and job offices, but on ac- count of cutting, they have got profits down to where the publishers live and pay expenses and that is about all.

Three Captains.

Capt. Andrews, of the Colorado, Capt. McCarty, of the Richard III and Capt. Butler, of the Pilot, were passen- gers on the ferry from Treadwell to Ju' neau, last Wednesday afternoon. We don't know how these men are on their ships. but away from them they make a very jolly, good natured turnout. Capt. McCarty is probably the oldest of the three, but Capt. Andrews is a close second on age, and no doubt both of them have seen hard service on the seas and had many narrow escapes. Capt. Butler is a young fellow and as neat and slick as a well groomed New York society swell.

lie Don't Regret It.

The good Lord has helped many a poor fellow out and put him on his feet in good shape who afterwards went back on Him, but a notable exception to the rule is Prof. Lippy, of Seattle. He went to the Klondike poor man and returned a millionaire, and he is making good use of his money accord ing to the standpoint of the church people. He gives most literally to his church, is building a S35,OOO Deaconess Home and now offers S8,5OO to the Y. M.C A. He has helped out all his rel atives who need it and is doing much good with his wealth. We would like to have the Great Ruler be more liberal with the Lippy class and less liberal with the others.
