BIRTH DAY PARTY.
Mir. And Mrs. A. L. Anderson Remember their Daughter-Juneau Aad Douglas City
 Join in Terry Making.

Mir. And MTS. A. L' AnueTSOn ESeiieNiOSl 'iS'
 Daughter-Juneau Aad Douglas City
 Join in Terry Making.
 Mir. and Mrs. A. L. Anderson resides on Third street in this city. They are in the old settlers class, and have been blessed with several children, of which Mrs. Morrow, of Juneau is one. Before her marriage to Mr. Morrow, she was considered the prettiest girl on Doug las Island and the Island has always had some daisies, and don't you forget it. We would say as much for her good looks as a married woman if we dared to. Back east the pictures of hand some married women are often printed in the papers and comment on those lines is perfectly proper, but it is diff ferent in Alaska journalism.
 We'll, Mrs. Morrow is not too old to have birthdays and one of these hap pened to fall on last Wednesday, and the kind and loving parents made the proper preparations to celebrate the event in a manner worthy of and betit- ting the object of their deep affec- tion. Printed invitations were extend ed to the many friends of the Anderson family and their daughter and at nine o'clock in the evening the guests met at the Laughlin residence on Third street and in a body went to the Ander- son home where the surprise to Mrs. Morrow was comIete and from there all proceeded to Ohman's hall where the music was in waiting. The spacious room was beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted and dancing was commenced at once which was contin- ued until 12 o'clock, when an elegant lunch was served in the hall, which was followed by more dancing. It was one of the most pleasant parties ever given in Douglas City Everybody seemed to be having pleasant evening.
 Quite number came over from Ju- neau. We were able to secure part of the names which are as follows.
 D. Ledbetter, Chas. Price, Robert Keeny, A. MaItby, Harry West, Pat Huff, Pat Hudson, Harry Shattuck, MT. Mason, Mrs. Evens and Mrs. Mor- row.
 NOTES.
 John Laughlin surprised everybody not only with his fine dancing but good looks as well. We never saw John be- fore except in his engineers clothes. There's nothing the matter with Jonny.
 Ledbetter, the handsome Juneau salesman, knows a good thing when he sees it. It is a standoff on his judge ment between a pretty face and good dancer.
 c. Lindstrom never allows any one to have better time at a party than himself. Wednesday evening was no exception.
 Alex. Smallwood was In evidence ana was the finest male dancer there was in the room.
 Our genial friend Hubbard had the handsomest necktie. in the room and was an object of envy by the ladies and even on the part of the gentlemen.
 We were unable to ascertain which were the most popular, the handsome girls or those fascinating married wo- men.
 The three Armies were all in attend ance and popular as ever.

FLORENCE, TODAY.

To the thinking citizen who oc-
casionally pauses for a moment to
mediate on the remarkable devel-
opment of Florence in the past,
and the glorious promise for her
future, it must indeed be matter
of profound satisfaction to feel
that this growth has not been that
of so-called "boom town. but a
steady growth. Florence's devel-
opment has not been of the inter
mittent sort, nor has it been spas
modic or erratic. True it is that
Florence's advance has not been
at fixed velocity-the latter has
been steadily increasing. The
town could not forge ahead more
rapidly if it were paced by a
comet.
But there is no boom in Flor
ence. None is wanted. The Or
dinary boom always has climax,
and when that climax is reached
the growth of the regulation
boom" town has ceased. Such
growth is not always the most sta
BILE, either. Florence is not a
boom town.
There are better things to be
said about Florence than that,
though. She is more favorably
situated for steady growth,
perhaps, than any other town in
the West, "boom" or otherwise.
Surrounded by hills she is protected
from the chilling blasts that lend
terrors to hard winters, and from
the hot winds from the south that
are even more unbearable. Tow
ering smokestacks mark the loca-
tion of her many mills and facto-
ries, and mingle their shadows,
morning and afternoon, with those
of the scores and scores of der
ricks that rise above her rich oil
fields. Bands of railroad steel
cross and re-cross the town, and
sidetracks in endless number radi-
ate from these, always laden with
strings of ore and oil-laden cars,
bespeaking those important indus
tries that have made it impossible
for the town to stop growing. The
business streets of the town are
walled in by modern blocks, and
the residence districts are such as
much larger towns might boast of.
The water supply system could
not be improved upon. The sewer
system, now being installed, will
be Of the most modern type. And
who will say that finer climate
can be found in the proverbially
healthy state of Colorado than that
of this town.
Such is Florence.
Backed by the richest of re-
sources, impelled by the inertia of
her past enterprises, garbed in a
self-confidence growing out of the
knowledge of her possibilities,
Florence stands smiling before the
people of Colorado and of the
western world, rejecting the glo-
rious glitter and effulgence of the
inimitable sunsets that crown her
western wall of hills.

From the Review OF Reviews.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Howells pub
licly said that 1t would be possible to
seat at a small table every man In this
country who was clearing $4,000 year
net from exclusive literary work.
Since then | have heard the returns
from single successful novel placed
at $4,000. Knowing the circulation
which it had had, and the usual royal
ties, this statement seems not impru-
dent. To the sales which make a re-
turn of from $4,000 to $4,000 off sim
gle novel, there is not unusually added
the still large wage paid to the novel
list whose fiction becomes the basis OF
a successful play.
Not long since Mr.. Charles Frohman
said, In substance, that 1t was nonsense
to turn anywhere except to novel for
play. since 1t cost from $4,000 to $780,
900 to make a play known. and the
novel had already accomplished this
without effort and without expense.

to that of the playwright. Not all
novels dramatized succeed, but when
dramatized novel runs through the
year, as nearly dozen have done In
the past five years, the return of the
author will average $500 week while
the play Is upon the boards. After
making from $4,000 to 100000 for sin
gle novel, the author may then obtain
as much more during each of the years
In which the play based upon 1t holds
the stage.
1t would be invidious to gossip over
names, but there are two recent plays
which must have yielded the novelist
playwright from $4,000 to 100000, or
half the sum earned by Trollope in a
lifetime of laborious romance.
