Ti the information conveyed in pri, vatc letter received in this city a few days ago is correct. General Randall who is commanding officer of the dl- vision of Alaska United States army. has rccommcdcd to the war department lt Washington City that Skagway be designated as thc future army head quarters for thc territory \ promin- cnt lady was recently at the capital on business and during her soiourn it was several times told to her about the recommendation Upon her return to Puget Sound she related what she had heard Co a friend there, who commun- icatcd it Co a relative in this city as piece of interesting news.
 Slagway is generally regarded as the most practical point at which thc hcadquartcrs could be located. and no apparent reason exists why they were not established here in thc first place This city has open navigation with the world thc year round. which is a very great advantage. as it makes the ship ping of supplies and men much more convenient and far less expensive. lt would greatly increase the efficiency Of ,hc department in many other ways.
 This city is inc best geographical location for the headquarters for it is more readily accessible to the princi' pal points of thc territory at an times of the year. The forts on the Yukon can be reached m summer by boat and in winter by a slcdgc a great deal more quickly from here than elsewhere. The railroad is m operation all of the time. while m the scaOn numerous boats daily ply the river Tn winter splendid coach lines oprcatc between White Horse and Dawson. while communi- cation between there and lower river is regular. This gives good means for thc conveyance of information and merchandise at any time of the year and that at a far less loss of time and money than from any other place.
 More than this the places to the west ward. lil.e Siika. Valdcs and Dutch Harbor are now available from here

and the service is sure to be improved from now on.
 With the completion of the Port Simpson Dawson telegraph line Skag way will be pretty well in touch with the outside world. but when the gov crnmcnt system of cables is in opera ton. which is sure to come within the next few years. her facilities for the transmission of intelligence will be im' proved very much. These cables will not only connect the city with the states. but will give a direct service to Valdcs and adjacent localities. The government is stretching wire on its Naldcs- Fort Egbcrt line and will prob ably extend down the Yukon to Nome and Teller City. via St. Michael this summer. With these lines and those now built every important part of Alas ka can be touched by the electric spark from a key board in Skagway This would be of prime advantage to the army officers. who in the event the headquarters were removed here would reside in this city

 The government has reserved a plot of ground in this city for its use. which would make an ideal headquarters site, and who knows but what some of Uncle Samucls lynx-cyed servants had that very thing in mind when they rec commended the reservation of it.
 It has been suggested that Captain Hovcy has gone south for something other than pleasure and that some thing has to do with the removal of the army headquarters to Skagway

THE POSTER GIRL.

The blessed poster girl leaned out
From pinky-purple heaven.
One eye was red and one was green
Her bang was cut uneven;
She had three fingers on her hand,
And the hairs on her head were seven.
Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem.
No sunflowers did adorn:
But heavy Turkish portiere
Was very neatly worn;
And the hat that lay along her back
Was yellow like canned corn.
II was kind of wobby wave
That she was standing on,
And high aloft she flung a scarf
That must have weighed ton:
And she was rather tall-at least
She reached up to the sun.
She curved and writhed. and then she said
Less green OF speech than blue:
perhaps am absurd-perhaps
don't appeal to you;
But my artistic worth depends
Upon the point of view."
| saw her smile, although her eyes
Were only smudgy smears,
And then she swished her swirling arms
And wagged her gorgeous ears;
She sobbed a blue and green-checked sob.
And wept some purple tears.

The first railroad ever operated in
the world was in England from Stoc-
ton to Darlington in 1925 for the pur-
pose of carrying coal without any idea
of passenger traffic. 1t operated by an
engine made by Stephenson, its first
inventor. A man on horseback rode
ahead of the first train to warn pedes-
trians out of the way. The passenger
car, a mere cabin on wheels, followed
on the same road drawn By a horse.
When patronage assured success it
was hitched onto Stephensons engine.
