WARM DAY IN SKAGWAY
Thermometer Reaches 93 Above--
 Now Government Thermometer.

Notwithstanding the ever present sight of glaciers and snow within few miles of Skagwav. the citizens of the town yes terdav sweltered under the heat of day that might be credit to the Southern states in ths middle of summer.
 The maximum registration of the day, as given by Government Weather Ob- server Havne. was g above, and the minimum of the twenty-four hours previ- ous to o'clock last evening g degrees above. Some thought they would prefer Skagwav's winter blasts to her swelter- ing summer days
 Weather Observer HaYne has not had his thermometer in use for a long time, one having been broken some time ago. He has secured new one and now has new pair, one giving the maximum temperature and the other the minimum of the regis tration of the period of every day or tWentv>four hours. The thermometers have been placed under large box having a root and sides of lattice work, which sits In an open yard, where a free and equal circulation of air is obtainable, the instruments at the same time being shaded from the direct rays by the little roof.

 I was stopping for a few weeks with an American friend on his sugar plan tation in Cuba, and one day as l was riding out alone 1 came across one of the wagons loaded with cane broken down in the field. A hind wheel had come of, and the driver of the oxen, who was boy about 15 years old, was taking things as cool as ice, not even having unhitched his beasts.
 When did it happen?' I asked as I got down.
 Hours ago, senor," he replied.
 And haven't you reported to the overseerT'
 "No, senor'
 But why have you wasted all this time when there Is need of hurryT"
 Will the senor tell me-" he replied as he lazily scratched his head, what has happened to the wagonT'

LET US INCORPORATE.

"The Skagwav spirit" has become as prominent in northern circles as the ''Seat- tie spirit" has long been farther south. Ever since the days when those who are now our leading citizens settled on Skag- way bay three years ago they have taken the lead in all Alaskan matters. They have protested against Alaska's treatment at the hands of the Federal government, and demanded again and again the atten- ton of congress. It was through their tireless energy that this attention was at last received. True, they failed to get all thev asked for, but they have gotten more than was ever accorded before.
 The people who have brought about this happy result cannot afford to permit their city to retrograde at this time. The con- tinuatlon of the same spirit displayed in the past would dictate that we accept and make good use of all we have gotter, and then ask for more. There will be more congresses. While the present one has not done what we felt that we had right to expect of it, we will be in better posi- ton to appear before the next if we avail ourselves of all the privileges extended, One of the things we asked for was mu- niclpal incorporation.
 To fall to incorporate after asking She privilege of congress is to say we did not ask in good faith. It is to permit Juneau to incorporate and attain the dignity of a city. while Skagway will be regarded sim ply as mining camp. It will be charged against US that our city is not one of per manence, and our action will be quoted to prove the assertion. They will say that we do not speak in good faith when we claim the rights belonging to a city. Our people will lose the standing they have worked so hard to attain.
 A happy circumstance has made 1t poss- be for Skagwav to become city one day ahead of Juneau and thus become the first city In Alaska. This is proper. Skag- way has been first in her achievements for Alaska and should be Alaska's first city.
 It would be different, perhaps. if anv- thing material were to be gained by refus- ing to incorporate. But such Is not the case. In fact, everything Is to be gained. The expense under legitimate govern ment will not fall nearly so heavy on those public spirited citizens, who have borne nearly all of the burdens of our city. as 1t has In the past, and those selfish "moss- backs" who have lived like the tick on the hare, from the blood of their neigh bors will be compelled to contribute their fair share,
 All know the difficulties that have beset our last city council In the execution of their many worthy undertakings, just be cause they had not the authority of legal enactment behind them. Ordinances foi our protection, for he nth, for police pro- lection and many other worthy purposes have been practically dead letters. Let us have done with such farce.
 Do not permit the drones who wish to shirk their part of citizenship to talk you into voting down incorporation. You can not afford it..

ANOTHER PHASE.

Some of the business men that have all ways been prominent when subscription list for public purposes is being circulated say that if the citizens fall to vote for in corporation. no one need present a subscrip- ton list to them in the future. They will prepare to protect their own buildings from fire, fix their own sidewalks, and make others do likewise. They are right. Every man now has chance to show his disposition to contribute his even share for public purposes. If he votes against in corporation he will stamp himself as un> willing to be a good citizen when he has an opportunity.

A rhyming correspondent. writing of retired justice of Georgia county says:
 He did hold court in this here town
 Fer twenty year an more,
 An all his rulings every
 Did piously adore.
 To read the law he did not fail,
 Though prisoners would beg He one time sent two men to jail
 Who shot him in the leg.
 No man from jury in this town
 Was any time exempt;
 He knocked a six foot lawyer down
 An fined him for contempt. But best of all things said of him,
 He, in his joy pride,
 What time his sight was gcttin dim,
 Resigned before he died! Surely such man as that deserved in an eminent degree the celebration of the rhyme above. and 1t Is well he had so appreciatlve a poet to celebrate him! !-Atlanta Constitution.
