THE OLD COUNCIL.

The old city council, which is out of business with the incorporation of the City of Skagway, is deserving the thanks of the city of skagway. For one year and half it has labored hon estly and industriously for the clty's good When it is considered that 1t has not had legal authority to enforce it's edicts, having to depend solely upon the patriotism of tho citizens to re- spond to it's ordinances and recommend ations, the extent of it's annoyance can be understood
 Notwithstanding all the obstacles that were thrown in it's way. the old council has accomplished many things. II has maintained Il splendid ire dc partment, carried out effective meas urcs for fire protection and the protec tion of the public health. done much street work, and in numerous ways made it's influence count for the public benefit and all without price or hope of reward.
 While the people are expecting much for the new council let them not over look the debt of gratitude due those whose terms have j.;st expired.

INVITE THEM HERR.

The Seattle chamber of commerce is again moving in the matter of an Alas kan excersIon This time it IS in doubt as to whether to make Skagway or Nome it's northern terminus
 This should be the signal for very urgent invitation on behslfof the SlSag- way chamber of commerbe to have the Seattle business men come to skagway. The trip could be varied from that of last year by extending 1t to White Horse at very little extra'expense, and there are very many reasons why 1t would be well for the business men of the two cities most interested in the Alaska and Yukon trade 10 get lo- gether.
 This cold fact stares thpse two Amer jean cities in the face. Two years ago Skagway and Seattle practically com trolled the Yukon traffic, now two thirds of allthe goods sold in the in- terior come from the Canadian points to the south. Seattle has the Nome trade bound hard and fast by chains forged bv nature. Let her citizens and ours work together to secure the great trade of the Yukon that kas been lost to our people forever if prompt and der cisive action be not taken
 By all means invite the Seattle cham Der of commerce excursionists to skag~ way

 "Did ever tell you about tbat Fourth of July celebration, includin ireworks. which planned for the boys out in the oil country just after the civil war z ssksd Grandfather Lickshingle
 If seemed to be the consensus of the crowd that this was one story grand fathsr had not done us the honor to relate. At the same time it was gently urged upon him that it would be s. haFdship to ransack his memory for the facts that we did not feel like asking him te entail upon himself
 n notice that you emphasize the word sfscn snid grandfather, tsnc it is very pFoper that you should, for ] 6sal oniy H facts As for the hardship you nontion in rausackin my memory s cells for thna. pray you to give your- self no un~asiness. l am simply satu- rated with facts It is fact that facts oe~e ors sf my prses until you might take me for fastotum, ss it were In addition so this regard it solemn dsty owe to my country to narrate thu great h;xtsrtcAl truth for the yesson that it ,s chapter in the history of AmerScsn Independence that every pa. trief and svory citiEcn, includin the P4hpipcs. should know.
 It was evident that grandfather was no$ to be discouraged from his inten- ton to relate his Fourth of July story,
 ''It was this way. 7 he began. "Ths war had just closed and this seemed to me to be of itself sufficient reason why that particular Fourth of July should be worthy of the occasion and tha whole country. I had been attend in Fourth of July celebrations all my life. but they always struck mo as peruls and eheap--a few artificial fire works. worse than artificial oratory. a | great dasl of noise and smoke and that was all
 ''The ol country. the greater part of which l owned. offered such magniti- cent facilities for pyrotechnics and that sort of thing that l made up my mind to give the people celebration she like of which they had never dreamed and somethin their children and thsir children children would re- member while memory holds a seat in this distracted globe as Shakespeare says
 We interrupted grandfather at this point to ask if be still owned the larger part of the oil country
 "Rno not exactly You see. the Standard oil trust has managed to squeese in and secure quite snug lit. tle interest in oil l don know exactly how much oil property of one kind and another have permitted MT. Rockefel- Ter and his friends to possess. but it is ] considerable al least But at the time of which speak | had not made up my mind to divide with any one was the Brierius armed monopoly, the hydra I headed trust the octopus--the whole ! shootin match
 This bein the situation, l began to spread myself for tho celebration Nero l had burned towiis .o illuminate his fes- ] t1vals but Il wa. on broader scala
