THE REVIEW did not support John
Cook for supervisor last fall Ii did
not think he would make good super
visor Il thought that he would be
partisan and unfair. MIR Cook has
however proven IN agreeable surprise.
He has appreciated the responsibility
of his Office, he has studied the code
and has tried TO keep within the law.
He has been technical if you please,
but with the other supervisors ar-
rogantly setting the law aside IL is a
mighty good thing for the people that
John Cook has been technical. The
other members OF the board hate him,
they take every occasion TO snub and
belittle him, but about nine-tenths of
the time John IS right and they are
wrong, and when John pulls the
code on them they have to
come down the pole in hurry
John Cook Is just as much of a demo
crat as ever, but he is doing his duty
4 not as democrat but as an officer of
/ the people. Mr.. Cook as member of
the board has acted largely as check
to extravaganza and carelessness, but
he is forced to acknowledge that he is
almost powerless against the COM
bine formed him. If John Cook
was reinforced by two republic
cans there would be chance for geEu
! inc reform in county affairs.

The pecullarities of the cangtion are such that under cultivation it has been made Co take almost any character as to color or form of flower desired by the careful cultivatOr. lt has been very popular with one generation ot men and equally unpopular with the next. When in favor, the flowers in' creased in size. and the varieties be- came numbered by the hundreds. At one time frlnged petals were iR great demand and were secured; at another the smooth edged petals only found ac' ceptance.
 Two hundred years ago the garden ers thought the flowers imperfect it the calyx did not burst, and refractory flowers were knifed into fashions line. But during the last l5O years the burst calyK has been deemed a defect, yet all efforts to prevent it In large flowers have not been wholly successful.

HAVE THEM STOP OVER

There should be an attempt made by the people of Skagway and Juneau to keep the senatorial committee in this portion Of Alaska for a few days a' least. This Is the most populous sec ,ion oi the district, and the most inn portant from a commercial standpoint. It is here more than elsewhere that people have located for the purpose ol making homes it is here that they have made homes, reared families and established an the appurtenances ol civilization. These are the people who have suffered most from the burdens that have been imposed by congress.
 hwill be shame it the committed should. as now seems likely, pass this country over, and get their entire knowledge Of Alaska from the newer points on the Yukon river, at Nome the seal islands and the ports Of call among the Aleutian islands.

BILLIARDS FOR WOMEN.
According Co Shakespeare, Cleopatra
 Played the Game.

 According Go Shakespeare, Cleopatra
 Played Che Game.
 In France a gentleman is not ashamed to take bis wife to see a professional billiard game Frenchwomen are good billiard players and like to see an the fancy shots made by professionals as soon as they begin to attract attention They read the billiard news in the daily papers and subscribe to journals published especially for billiardists' According to Shakespeare, women have played billiards from the time of Cleo patra. In 30 R. c. he makes the Egyp- dan queen summon Charmian to bill nards. Mary. queen of Scots, was pas sionately fond of the game. On the evening preceding her execution she wrote to the archbishop of Glasgow that her billiard table had been taken away from her as Q preliminary step to her punishment The Empress Jo sephlne used to rouse Napoleon from his gloomy moods by game of bif nards. Adelina Patti became disgust cd with her English table and had one made in New Y0Tk for which she paid $500.
 The efficacy of billiards as hcalth restorer Is beyond dispute. Tho mo tons gone through will reach every part of the body and operate on the en tire system. They completely dispel languor and "that tired feeling" The tension Of the muscles is tested and the blood sent in swifter circulation through the veins.
