How is a newspaper made? Millions
Upon millions of them are turned out
anew every day, and are always with
US, under the carpets or on the shelves
In our homes, wrapped around the
bundle we are carrying, or possibly
entertaining us for quiet hour at the
freside and on the railway Journey. So
common is the newspaper that one sell
dom stops to think how it Is made, yet
the work of a single day in the office
of q modern daily is little short of a
miracle performed Come with us, to-
day, for a visit to the T.-R. newspaper
publishing plant.
When the merchant opens his store
at o'clock In the morning, or the
hustling farmer plunks the first ear of
corn against the sideboards on frosty
December day, the news editors and
type settlers begin their work with a
keen and curious interest in what the
day will develop. While they were en-
Joying the last few early morning hours
of good nights sleep, day had dawned
In countries farther east. In fact, at the
first blast from a o'clock whistle In
Iowa 1t is already nearly noon in Lon
don, and people have begun to do
things. Parliaments had convened, the
crime of the night before had been dis
closed, distinguished callers had be-
gun to arrive at state headquarters,

minutes, turn out 1000 papers which
would have taken the best kind of an
ordinary job press half an hour to print
direct from the type. So that, allowing
fifteen minutes as lost in stereotyping
the last page, the perfecting press
makes it up in the first five minutes of
actual running, turning out in the full
twenty minutes as many as could 9TH
erwise have been printed In half an
hour. Nor is this all. After the first
five minutes the running OF a perfecting
press is all gain over the capacitytof the
ordinary cylinder press and in one
hours time it has printed and folded an
average edition which would have re-
quired six hours with the old-fashioned
press. But more still does the perfect
ing press annihilate time in the printing
Of newspapers. Flat-bed presses, print
ing direct from type, must do their work
twice, that is, the sheets must be fed
thru once to be printed on one side and
then once again to be printed on the
other side. which necessitates closing
up half the pages very early in the day
that they may be gotten out of the way
before the last press run.
In the above comparisons, In which 1t
has been estimated that the perfecting
stereotype press will do in one hour
the work of an ordinary press in six,
account has been taken only of the time
for the last run. The T.-R. editor wei.

ton of practically 80 per cent of all the
great news dailies in the United
States. Originally a cooperative n1u-
tual news exchange, formed by several
newspapers in Chicago, New York and
San Francisco, it has grown until 1000
newspapers are members. Correspon-
dents are established at every port in
the civilized world at nearly every in

armies they go.
High salarfed men are detailed to

warlike. Each man of many thousands

Here a force of trained news editors,

young men only can endure the strain
of newspaper work, but the mails are
made on time, with seldom miss.
OF course many pages are made up,
stereotyped and the plates put upon the

being set into type. SO that the final

sumed in making up, locking UP and

Stereotyping Each Page.

MOI many years ago all printing was
dcne directly from the type, the paper
was brought into direct contact with
the type to receive the printed i'm
preston, but as the circulation grew
and enterprise quickened, faster
method became necessary. One that
would print hundreds of thousands in
the same time consumed in printing one
thousand was evolved and this is when
the stereotyper appeared. Today fast
presses, such as the T.-R. uses, print
from cylindrical stereotype plates
which contain on their concave surface
ar exact reproduction of page of type.
The type itself goes back to the COM
posing room, when the stereotyper is
thru with it, and never sees the press;
In fact the makeup men may be at work
using it to rearrange pages of later
editions, while the presses are turning
out, in printed newspapers by the hun
dreds every minute, the contents of it's
first arrangement.
When the makeup man locks up a
page the stereotyper lays upon 1t the
first sheets of a papier-mache matriX
he is going to make. These sheets are
very thin, of tough tissue and wet with
u paste that will endure extreme heat
without burning. The wet paper is
pounded into and around the type with
a stiff beating brush until it conforms
perfectly to the face Of the type; thu,
erevices are then filled with q specially
prepared whiting powder and a sheet
o. stiff paper laid over 1t. The form of
type with the tissues still sticking to it
is then pushed from its table into a
steam heated table. which is provided

two weeks But am sorry to say this is not all. Some of the Indians from Sitka sold some of our Indians liquor Policeman Pete from Killisnoo heard of it and came over and arrested them. Thy were making no trouble, but he wanted to make record for himself and took them over to Killisnoo. There the Indian who sold the liquor said, to clear himself, that he bought the whis- key of a white man who had come down from Sitka with some of the Indians. The result was the young man had to go to jail, while the Indian paid a fine and got off. Of course the trouble broke up the feasting and dancing here. The Sitka Indians left yesterday and the Killisnoos are moving back, and many of our Indians are goug over to Sitco Bay to cut wood for the cannery. That is the end of this years festivities and business at Angoon.
 One of the Killisnoo Indians said yesterday that they were all going back to KillisDoo, and join the Salvation Army and be good christians until next winter. 1 hope they will, and when next winter comes, still be christians.

Washington's Birthday.

In company with many parents it was our pleasure on last Friday afternoon to listen to the programme rendered by the Douglas school children in hon or of Washington's birthday.
 We found the school room appropri- ately decorated with flags, bunting and portraits of our country's heroes Washington and Lincoln.
 Miss Spiers and the little folks from the primary department were there. Very pleasing was their part of the programme, which was rendered first.
 The recitations and songs were all we'll given, while an exercise of import ant dates, by the small boys, and one of flags, by the girls, was much appre- ciated by parents and friends.
 The programme to be rendered by MT. Holt's school was published in the News of last week.
 The pupils of this department prob ably range in age from eight to twelve years.
 As one looks over the school he is impressed with the fact that they are all of size.
 However, they constitute the ad- vanced department of our public schools. From them we expected much in the way of entertainment, and were not disappointed. Many of these pu- pills recite with an ease and grace that

shows careful training and much natu- ral ability.
 The dialogue, "My Favorite Hero" by seven boys, was much enjoyed by all, especially the singing by which twas accompanied. dialogue and song by the girls of the fourth grade was also we'll received.
 All the exercises were interspersed by the singing of our national hymns. With Mrs Barton at the organ all join ed lustily in this part of the programme. By our English cousins reflection is sometimes cast upon our patriotism be- cause so few Americans know all the words of these hymns. As we listened to these children singing we felt that this could not be justly said in the flu ture; at least not of those who are now pupils in our public schools.
 At the close of the programme much interest was manifested by the parents in the school work on exhibition.
 Colored maps, drawing and copy books were all carefully examined and found neat, tasteful and fairly accurate.
 We went home feeling that although there are many needed improvements, yet Douglas may we'll be broad of her schools, her teachers and her pupils.
 Following is list of the visitors present on this occasion:

KiIIisnOo Letter.

We have nad OeauClIul WedCueI Iue past two weeks. No snow to speak of, and, most of the time, sunshine. At Killisnoo the Salvation Army has been holding meetings, assisted by Rev. MT. Zimmerman from Sitka. He came over to Angoon aud held services twice du- ring the two weeks he was stopping at KillisnUo. but it was quite difficult for him to get house in which to bold his meetings, as they were all crowded with Indians from Sitka, Juneau, Haines Mission, and about three hun dred from Killisnoo, who have not yet joined he Salvationists. They were here feasting, dancing and potlatching in the new homes that our Indians built in the early part of the winter While they did not dance on Sunday, yet they had their things, such as bed ding, and grub Gas they call it) lying promiscuously around the house, which contains one room down stairs and one up stairs Two of the new houses have kitchens, think.
 Mir. Zimmerman staid one night with us. He had expected to spend few days at Angoon, but found everyone so busy he concluded to postpone his visit here until some time when the Indians were not in the midst of their gay season. He returned to Sitka on the Flosie, which left here Feb. l2th
 Father Soboleff is home on visit now. He expects to have to return to Sitka on the Cottage City, which is ex- pected here tomorrow.
 The Indians have some very fine dance costumes, and they had Vincent (Father Soboleff's son) come over two different days and take their pictures.
 On the last Cottage City, Feb. 4th, there was a fine monument, for Sitka Pat and Alfred Perkins, two Sitka h. dians. They got it for two old uncles, great chiefs in their tribe, can't recall the names now. So, ill the midst of the dancing and feasting they had to stop day, and go over to Killisnoo and bring the monument over here (An- goon) and put it up.
 There were nine canoes filled with Indians, and each canoe had flag at half-mast in it's bow, and standing next to the flag an Indian dressed in fine costume, holding totem pole, and singing dirge for the dead, as the h. dians sing. can't begin to describe the ceremonies they went through be- fore the stone was finally placed at the top of hill overlooking the village.
 So you see we have had quite vari- ety of things going on during the past
