The Downfall
 of Chips.

GREAT excitement has prevailed vY here as consequence of the
 article recently published by Chips" in which he attributes the tidal wave of late date to the dis placing ability of one of the ladies at the Post.
 This article seemed to have angered Sergeant Froelich. the chiv- alrous escort, to such degree that he made threats of dire vengance against the writer of the article. should that unfortunate's name be- come known.
 It soon transpired that Private Farch, of the Hospital Corps, was the author of the piece. This reached the ears of the irate ser geant d few days ago, but owing to the clever lodging of Farch, he managed to keep out of Froe- lich's way until the other day, when in the excitement of game of quoits, sublimely oblivious of danger, he relaxed his vigilance. Then like panther springing on his prey, the sergeant descended upon Farch, and with succession of right hooks, left jabs and upper cuts, treated him to knockout, a la FitzimmOns. As soon as Farch could collect his scattered senses, sclf-preservation was his first thought, which he quickly put into execution by taking flight with the sergeant in quick pursuit. Then commenced one of the best sprint ing matches ever seen in Alaska, much to the amusement of the whole command who turned out in force to witness it. The question is asked all around did Farch break running record?" The an swer is always, well I'd tell a man. D

be invested to good advantage. and large returns secured.
 Alaska wants wide awake men who are not afraid to do any kind of wo TX; men with sticktoitiveness: men who will turn things up. in- stead of idling about and waiting for things to turn up. The life of q successful prospector is not an easy one. There are plenty of hardships and whole lot of hard work. hut there is big chance for an independent fortune in few years.
 Here on the coast, we have d good time. have plenty to eat and drink. enjoy good health, and all expect to strike it rich some time. We also are confident that a rail- road will open up the rich country adjacent to Valdez. in the very near future.

 Skagway is having hard time. For while they were going to re- sist the government collection of licenses, and now they are trying to prove that their population has diminished enough to warrant a reduction in the amount of the liquor licenses.
 It is strange, but nevertheless true, that ice can be pu rchased in the city of New York for less money than in this town, notwithstanding the fact that We have at the back of the town, glacier 2 miles long and nearly mile high.

No Chance Of Old Abuses
Being Returned to in the
New Plan, Say Experts
Washington's Experience
With Banks That Had No
Existence Except on Paper.

The asset currency" plan for the ma
tional banks proposed by Secretary Gage
would not be the system which was in
vogue during the civil war, nor would it
in any way resemble that system, which
earned the reputation Of being one of the
worst the country ever had.
Mr.. Cages utterances on the subject
of an enlarged national bank currency
have aroused in the minds of some 6nan-
cial authorities the fear that the old
evils of fraudulent banks without as
sets and counterfeit bank notes without
banks to redeem them are again to be
precipitated on the country.
Merely IL Suggestion.
Mr.. Gage has not gone into the details
of his plan. He has, in fact. done little
more than suggest a general system. The
statement is made by one of his intimate
friends that he has wished simply 10 make
this general suggestion with the idea Of
having it worked cut into 4 compact and
satisfactory system by discussion and
thought on the part OF the bankers them
selves.
Ii may be stated on the same author
ity. however that the new plan does con-
template a thorough supervision of any
system by the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency, and the same safeguarding Of the
interests of the public that there is at
present.
