A Surprise.

A farewell reception in the form of a surprise was tendered Mrs. John Willis on last Thursday afternoon by the La dies League of the Congregational church (of which Mrs. Willis was a regular attendant the past summer) which was, in spite of the rain, a very pleasant affair. The ladies met at the home of Mrs. Veasie on "Treadwen Heights" at o'clock and proceeded in body to the residence of R. J. Willis. Mrs. Willis was taken completely by surprise, but proved herself equal to the occasion, and welcomed her friends in most cordial manner.
 Tbe afternoon was passed very pleas antly, in guessing conundrums, which caused a great deal of merriment. The prize was awarded to Mrs. Tubbs, she having guessed the largest number cor rectly. Refreshments were served by the ladies, after which Mrs. Krause ia vored the company with piano solo, followed by several vocal selections by Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Gould. A rec itation by Miss Lizzie McKanna was al so highly appreciated. It was nearly 6 o'clock when the merry crowd dis banded, wishing Mrs. Willis and her good husband a pleasant and safe jour ney to their home in San Francisco.
 Mrs. Laughlin, in behalf of the League, made short speech, in which she expressed the pleasure of associa- tions the past summer and of the sin cere regret all felt in parting with one who has been helpful in the work. Grandpa Willis responded in very touching way, acknowledging the pleas ure of the afternoon as we'll as the en- joyment of being one of the Masters workers.
 Those present were Mesdames Ro5't Laughliu, veasie, Krause, Mackle, Ott, Richards, Carpenter, Bach, Gould, Me Cauley, Christoe, Watson, Tubbs, Lee, Rood, Murdock, Daniels, Williams, and Miss Lizzie McKanna.

The Donald Fletchers.

The Skagway Daily Alaskan says ed itorially in a recent issue that "there is not a town in Southeastern Alaska in which majority of the thinking men do not favor territorial form of gov ernment." It also says that all the speeches and requests for aid of Gov. Brady should be referred to Donald Fletcher, who, it ayers, has done splen- did work for Alaska.
 Now, who the devil is Donald Fletch- CT. and who gave Donald Fletcher and the Skagway Alaskan the right to out line the policy of Alaska's future and speak for her people? Why should the powers that be take the word of the Donald Fletchers and a few more one horse individuals who have spent few weeks at the most in the borders of this country, as against the wise coun- sels of a man like Gov Brady, who has been going up and down the country making a careful investigation of it's resources and its needs for many years; who has devoted the best years of his life to study of its conditions, and who holds the place of honor and trust he does because of his acknowledged good judgment and ability?
 What has it cost Alaska, this meth cd of taking up with the cheechaco Moses that have from time to time dragged themselves up out of the bull rushes and after consulting few of the would be oracies of the country aud taking a two-weeks' tour among the islands of the Alexander Archipelago, have returned to the States cooked and primed for business?
 The last, and may be, the most fatal cost, has been the recent Forestry Re serve that is such stench in the nos trils of s. E. Alaska today.
 No. gentlemen; you are wrong. What we want in Alaska and for Alaska can- not be carried in the side pocket of any carpet t-bag representative. Alaskans must speak for Alaska, and they alone; and the thinking people of the country are today asking for a representative for that reason. And these same think ing people are not today advocating a territorial form of government, the Alaskan to the contrary, notwithstand- ing.

Good Roads.
Ing.

No city or town can ever expect to grow and prosper, and eventually to become great, without good streets.
 The above statement is so true and plain that it is unnecessary to produce arguments or a citation of fact in it's behalf.
 Itis a general rule; and its applica- tion to Alaskan towns is just as perti- nent as anywhere else. When strang- CT comes to our city he looks first at the streets and sidewalks and then he begins to speculate upon the things which we call resources. If Douglas is to be judged by her streets, we are afraid that the only thing that will save us from utter disregard is the compari- son with some of the other Alaskan towns.
 For years the business and growth of this city have been hampered by a need for planked streets, and especially the continuation of D street above Second.
 An ordinance has recently been pass ed by the city council which will make it possible to have good streets and sidewalks wherever they are needed; or in other words, whenever a sufficient number of the property owners along any street or part of street are ready to take the initiative.
 A movement is already on foot to plank D street, remove the old bell tower, and make that street the princi- pal thoroughfare in the city.
 Now let those interested in other parts of the city join the procession before winter sets in.

A CAMPAIGN OF EXPOSURE.

Intelligent and responsible Hawaii
ans ouph, TO make II their business in
this campaign to keep the Home Rule
voters in touch with the truth which
wilcox so often misrepresents TO them.
For instance the statements Of the par
ty leader that the results of the next
election could. by any possibility, en-
dow Hawaii with two Senators and
Representative in Congress, should be
promptly challenged. The object of
Wilcox in telling this deliberate false
hood is to make some OF his followers,
who are ambitious, work for his own
success and that Of the legislative can
didates. in the hope Of getting prizes
for themselves which are utterly be-
yond their reach. They should be
taught that Territories do not elect
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress and that Arizona and New Mex
leo are seeking the right to choose such
funct!onaries through statehood and
not through city and county govern
ment, the latter having nothing to do
with Congressional affairs and being
already possessed by those Territories.
The almost criminal falsity OF VIII
cox's statement that Hawaiian children
are vaccinated with the virus Of lepers
should be pointed out to the natives by
men I'm whom they have confidence. 1t
should be easy to prove to them how
far their leader has insulted and i'm
posed upon their faith in him.
The statement that the United States
has a Home Rule party which expects
20 aid the Hawaiian, is another case In
point: There is no such party on the
mainland and any inquiring native
should be shown. in the current polit-
zeal almanacs, to be had at any Homo
lulu book store, that Wilcox simply in
vented this party for purposes of his
own.
Going with an exposure OF these mis-
statements. review OF the promises
which Wilcox made two years ago and
broke afterward might not come amiss
But there Is no use in white men OF
white newspapers trying to do this
work of education. 1t must be done by
Hawailans of capacity in whose mo-
tives the native people have no doubt

original plans, a large and thriving
town will grow up near the navy yard
and the forts. This will house from
1000 to 5000 employees and their families.
But these must be fed, clothed, trans

that the town would have from seven
