No Wonder He Wilted.

The following marriage ceremony was used by a Tennessee squire a short time ago: "Wilt thou take her for thy pard; for better or worse; to have, to hold, to fondly guard till hauled off in a hearse? Wilt thou let her have her way; consult her many wishes, make the fire every day and help her wash the dishes? Wilt comfort and support her father and mother, Aunt Jemima, Uncle John and three sisters and a brother?" His face grew pale and blank; it was too late to jilt; as through the floor he sank, he meekly said,"I wilt"-Ex- change.

COuNCILMEN.

With this issue the PRospEcTOR enters upon the second year of its existence. For the past year this paper has been endeavoring to pulp fish all the reliable news of Valdez. the interior country, and the various towns and settlements in Southern Alaska. That our efforts have been appreciated is proven by the fact that our subscription list has grown. in one year, to be the largest of any weekly paper published in the district. The PRosPEcToR goes into every town, min ing camp and postoflice in Southern Alaska, and also along the Yukon. Subscriptions are be- ing continually received from var ious points, and from this fact we judge that the PRoSpE,ToR is ap- preciated and read with interest wherever it goes.
 That our job department is ap- preciated is known from the fact that there is always copy on the hook, and that our presses are going almost day and night. We have recently furnished considerable work for the U. $, District Court, among which was 300 35=page pam phlets, giving the rules of the court, with list of its officers and practic- ing attorneys. We greatly appre- ciate the many kind words that have been said about us by our many friends, and are thankful for the support that has been given us by the citizens of Valdez.
 It will be the endeavor of the PRosPEcToR in the future as in the past to publish all the important news of the district, and as the town grows in size and importance the paper will also endeayor to grow in size and influence, and will keep abreast of the times.

Governor Brady recommends in his annual report, that a revenue cutter or other vessel be placed at the disposal of the court officials at this place for their exclusive use in the discharge of their duties.
 The officers of the district court of this division have under their jurisdiction 5000 miles of coast line alone, not including the Aleutian islands. In this great stretch of coast country there are many towns and settlements, numerous salmon canneries, fishing stations and min ing camps, where crimes occur from time to time. Several thous- and men are brought each year from san Francisco, Seattle and other coast cities to the canneries and fishing stations and the laws of the country are violated and crimes and criminals are becoming more numerous each year.
 Complaints are continually being made from various points along the coast that intoxicating liqaors are being sold to the natives, and that men, women and children are being delbaucled and depraved. Murders have been committed and the guilty parties have not been brought to justice. Fishing laws are being violated. Immortality abounds about the fishing settle ments and crimes and various of lenses are being committed. Many of these crimes are committed by cannery employes, or if not actually committed by them, is the result of their lawlessness and the fact that they sell or give intoxicating liquors to the native people and create strife among them.

that these crimes occur or that in many instances the culprits are not brought to justice. It is inn possible at the present time and under the existing circumstances for them to visit the out-of-the-way places. To reach many of the can ncries, fishing stations and mining camps, they would be compelled to depend on the several different steamers and sailing vessels, and when they were reached they would in all probability be compelled to lay at one point for a month or more awaiting another vessel to take them away. There is not q single vessel running in the district that stops at one-half of the various points in this district which the deputy marshals and other court officials should visit, and the ofli- cials are almost helpless here at Valdez for six or seven months in the year. except what little business they can do at surrounding places.
 With vessel such as the gov ernOr recommends, the court off cials could go where they pleased and whenever they desire or busi- ness demands. They could visit the various settlements through the district once or twice year, and it would certainly have a strong moral influence in keeping down lawlessness.

A. w. LYMAN LIKELY TO
SUCCEED C. S. GRAIN
Office of Special Agent of U. S. Treas
ury Is Still Vacant.

Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in by politicians and federal
officeholders as to who will be named
as the successor of Charles S. Grain,
recently resigned as special agent of
the United States treasury. with head
quarters in st. Paul.
It has now been SIX weeks since Mr..
Grains resignation went into effect
and nothing has as yet been heard
from Washington concerning the APP
pointment of his successor. Since Mr..
Grain resigned his office has been lock
ed, and no one has even been placed
in the position temporarily.
1t is current gossip about the fed
eral building. however, that Arthur w
Lyman, at present deputy collector Of
customs at this port, is out after the
place, and that he stands very fair
chance Of securing it. Mr.. Lyman
himself is not willing to admit that he
is candidate for the position, but
some of his most intimate friends and
others who are in position to know
say he is very likely to be the sue
cessor of Mr.. Grain.

WILL DELAY WORK
At FORT SMELLING
Condemnation Proceedings, If
Necessary, VIII Consume
Year and a Half.

Unless the owners of the land. which
is desired and necessary for the en-
largement of Fort Smelling agree to ac-
cept the price offered by the govern
ment for their land, it will be at least
eighteen months before the proposed
improvements at Smelling can be COM
menced.
''The government has already given
UP all hope of purchasing the land adj
joining Smelling at a reasonable price,"
said Deputy United States District At
torney Smith yesterday "and the only
thing left for the government to do is
to secure the land by condemnation
proceedings. The preliminary steps
toward condemning the land have al
ready been -taken-that is, the war de-
partment, some time ago, gave us
orders to condemn the land, but an ac-
ton of this kind takes time, and it will
be year and a half before the land
can be turned over to the government.
I'VE have alreay commenced looking
UP the abstracts and titles to the land,
but all this will require time, and be-
fore we are ready to proceed there is
much to do. There must be no doubt as
to the title of the land when the gov
eminent commences condemnation
proceedings. The government has Of
fered what it considers a very good
price for the land, but the owners have
declined to accept tlle governments Of
fer, and we will now proceed to con-
denim the land.

sured, but it will be some time before
the land will be available"

BOYS PLAY indian
AND KILL A HORSE
Brighten Animal i'm Thought
less Chase Till 1t Dashes
Over Bluff.

Several boys in the neighborhood of
the Indian Mounds yesterday resolved
to- play wild West" and after gather
ing together a quantity of red flannel
blankets, feathers, guns, and having
manufactured bows and arrows, they
arrayed themselves in counterfeits of
the Indian savage garb.
The vacant lots resounded with their
WhoopS, and so realistic did their demon
STATIONS become, that residents of the
neighborhood thought that the braves
had returned from their happy hunting
ground to visit their shrine on the
summit of the bluff. -!
The sport of the children might
have passed off and been for
gotten had they not seen a horse pas
tured in a vacant lot. The savage in
stinct aroused within them by imita-
ton took possession of thell. The
horse was besieged and the young In
dams surrounded it with war dance.
Finally one let fly an arrow which
frightened the horse SO that it broke
it's tether and dashed. across the lots.
The Indians, imagining themselves on
the trackless prairies of Montana, pur-
sued the animal which continued to
dash headlong till it reached the sum-
n4t of the bluff, and without stopping
through fear of the hue and cry be-
hind, the horse attempted to run down
the side of the bluff, but in the act
fell and rolled to the bottom of the
cliff where it finally landed, bruised
and injured, near the railroad tracks.
The horse, which belonged to w j.
Rack, 724 Reaney street, was so badly
injured that Humane Agent Moak was
called upon to put an end to it's suffer-
ingS
