A Baby's Birthday.

You don't mean to say that the
baby was four years old yesterday.
Why, it was only the other day that
she celebrated her third birthday, and
it does not seem any time since that
day when she first came into this
world to make it brighter and happier
for everyone. First thing you know
she will be going to school, and then
she will be getting a home of her own.
What are you crying about; don't you
know that you can't have her all for
your own all your iifeP Seems some
times like it isn't just right that after
you have spent a quarter of a century
or more in caring for and loving a
girl of your own that some sneak
comes along, marries her and takes
her away, but, come to think of it.,
you were just such a sneak yourself.
1t is the way of the world, Gods way,
and Gods way is always best. Some
times it does not seem like it is best,
but time proves that it is.
Four years old, ehp Well, sir, do
you know that it won't be any time
at all until there will be a cipher add
ed to that fourp 1t has been an active
four years for that little body and
brain, and if that brain could gain
knowledge in the same proportion
that it has in those fouryears for the
next decade the wisdom of Solomon
would be like the reasoning Of a kim
dergarten in comparison. Strange
how they learn so rapidly and SO well!
Why, the little creatures don't forget
a thing, and once in a while they say
things that make you ashamed of
your own memory. They grow in
our hearts, too, and the baby is not
many hours old before it has it's fin
gers wrapped around hearts with a
grip that is never loosened. They
rule with an iron hand, and no mon
arch could come nearer being tryan-
meal, but it is a rule like that of the
divinity and soothes rather than
stings. God bless the babies, and
God bless the mothers!

THE most ~incisive and most keenly
analytical sketches of public men
which have been prepared during the
past two years have been those of
William Allen White. Thehum-
orous little episode between Mr..
White and Mr. Thomas {. PLAT is still
fresh in the public memory. Mr..
Whites sketch for March appears in
The Cosmopolitan and is on the late
President Harrison. 1t will be read

VALDEZ WITHOUT MEAT.

The people Of Valdez are once
more experiencing the pangs Of
hunger for want of fresh meat.
The cause Of this is not with the
different butchers Of the city, but
with the transportation companies
not having enough steamers on the
run t. keep up with the immense
traffic which has sprung up be-
tween Valdez and the States.
The Valdez market recently or
dered 20 head Of steers, 25 sheep
and 20 hogs from Seattle, and re-
cefved word by letter Of Sept. 9th
as follows: ave are advised by
the Excelsior that they will no,
accept any live stock out, but will
ship by Santa Ana.
The firm of J. F. Heilscher & Co
finding they were to run short OF
beef, telegraphed to Juneau for ten
steers to be sent up on the S. S.
Newport, but the cable from Skag-
way to Juneau being broken the
firm at Juneau could not be reached
in time for the Newport.
The firm of Love & Whitley or
dered their usual large shipment,
but got a like reply excepting that
the Frye-Bruhn Co. shipped them
dressed beef, at shippers risk, in
lieu of live stock, which the Excel
sior would not take. This was
very commendable Of the Frye
Bruhn Co., as they have the Alas
ka meat trade at heart.
The City Market will remain
ai'nn foe . f..- a--y.--Au H. 900.
of the rest of the markets are
closed until the arrival,o the next
steamer.
1t is high ii me that city like
Valdez should receive better trans
pOrtatiOn service.

Coal Famine.


Special to the PROsPEcroR.
Pittsburg. Oct.8-The coal strike
situation is becoming very critical.
The national guards of Pennsylvan-
ia have been called out to preserve
order along the Lehigh Valley
railway.
The strikers are not using vio-
lence and the sympathy Of the
public is with them. Church Or
ganizations have taken q hand to
have the trouble settled, as the coal
famine, if long continu. d will work
great hardships on the poorer
classes. President Roosevelt is en-
deavoring to have the question set
tied by arbitration.
The operators premptorily re-
fuse to treat with or recognize the
Union. Coal is NOW worth $25 to
$50 a ton. Contributions are flow
ing in from all points to relieve
the poor during the coal famine.

Ithas been reported here that
large numbers of circulars have
been distributed in Juneau, Skag-
way, Dawson and other cities, call
ing for axmen and laborers to work
on the Valdez railroad and direct
ing them to apply to B. F. Millard
of this place. The Alaska Dis
patch pronounces this a frank fake"
and iticertainly is, as no laborers
are needed or wanted here at pres
ent. We desire to state in justice
to Mr.. Millard that the circulars
were printed and distributed with
out any knowledge or authority on
his part whatever and by some one
unknown to him. Why such mis-
leading statements are circulated is
not known here.

The Photographic views secured

These gentlemen have headquar-
tiers in San Francisco and New
York, and, as representatives of q
large newspaper syndicate and the
American Biosraph Co., make a
speciality OF Systematically touring
photographing and writing up some
certain territory every season for
the purpose OF showing to the gen.
eral public what kind Of a world
they are living in.
The Miles Bros. are certainly art
lists in their line, and Valdez is par
ticularly fortunate in having been
chosen as the scene of their present
seasons operations. Some Of the
business men have requested these
gentlemen to photograph their
places of business. and incorporate
the photographs in souvenir al
bum of views of Valdez and the
Copper River country; the album

men for sale or distribution here
and in the States.
The Miles Bros. who have gotten
up many an elegant souvenir al.
bum Of this description, have ex-
pressed a willingness to 90 ahead
in the matter, provided their time
is not too limited. II they do take
the matter up our people should
