TINE TO ACT.

II the citizens of Skagway desire to in
corporate their city under the provisions of
the new code in time to get one-halt of the
license money to become due on july
there is no time to lose. In fact, to COM
mence at once-today--to take the initIa-
tive Is to leave abrely time for all of the
necessary steps leading up to the creation
of the city of Skagwav. But the stake is
large and fully worth the effort required to
obtain such an end.
If all the business men of this city re,
new their licenses on the Ist of next
month there will be not less than Sac, 900
paid over to the clerk of the district court
on that date. Granting that a consider
able portion Of them will drop out of bust
ness for time. to either renew their Ii
c.nse at some future time or to have their
places taken by new institutions to come
in. there will still be at least $50, 900 paid.
If the city e Skagwav shall be fact By
July /, her share of this sum will e SIS
900. Is it not our duty to secure this
monevl
To fall to incorporate before July will
be to have this $4,000 taken from the
money in eircul iton in the citv and sent
1000 miles away to Washington CITY. To
incorporate at once will mean not onv a
disoontinuance of the festive subscription
list for public purposes, but sufficient
money with which to do much good for
Skagwav. With $4,000 our city council
could have more money than 1t has ever
had for incidental purposes, and in addition
sufficient to build fine stone public school
building. Or, If it were ceemed more
necessary, there would be more money to
use for school purposes than has been the
case in the past, and there would remain
enough money to make turnpikes out of
all the more important streets in the city.
or again. there would be more money to
Llace at the disposal Of the city council for
general city purposes and the school board
for school purposes than these bodies have
been accustomed to, and there would be
money left with which to get an excellent
sewerage system well under way.
There Is no reason to believe that Judge
Brown would not act in full accord with
our people If thev should undertake to
crowd this matter through. The prelm-
mary arrangements could all be undertaken
under the presumption that the law is now
as the house committee reported it. II will
only be few DAYS until the law will be at
hand. The probabilities are that there has
been no change. If 1t should be found to
be otherwise, and also that an amendment
would not suffice to set matters tight,
nothing would be lost, while valuable time
would be gained If all proved as antics
pated.
The DAILY ALASKAN suggests that
Mayor Hislop, as the official head OF our
city, call meeting of the citizens at once
to consider the matters here suggested.
The petition should be presented to JuG.e
Brown this week.

All Of us have bumps on our heads.
By feeling of the bumps one can tell

overheard all, and that he had made a

Mrs. Bowser during the dinner hour
that Mr.. Bowser had a surprise party
In store for her. 1t was useless for
her to guess what 1t was, and she
therefore waited in patience till they

Mr.. Bowser produced little book and
looked 1t over for ten minutes before
he said:
