The State Flower of caIIfornia.
(BY It. SHELLEY SUTTON.
Beautiful flower OF slumber-
Symbol of sleep and dream
blooming in countless number
Down by the laughing stream
Sign of the calm, eternal,
Flow'r Of the Lethean Night
Beautiful. strange. supernal,
Golden as Heavens light
Swayed by the zephyrs signing.
Lulled by the Morphesn breath,
Emblem Of peace, defying
Even the sting Of death
Blossom OF Light and Shadow
Mantle OF hill and vale
Robe Of the golden meadow
Cloak of the dell and dale
Symbol of Silence. ever,
Emblem of golden dreams.
Blooming beside the river,
Bright in the MONDAY beams
Ever and aye suggesting
Peace 10 the hearts repose--
Peace to the bosom, Wrestling
Under its weight of woes
Flooding the silence yonder
Deep with its soulful dream
Blooming. the while we ponder
Close by the Stygian stream
Filling the air with slumbe--
Painting the valleys blush
Blooming in countless number
Under the MONDAY hush
So. like the valley, yonder,
shall di, cern in death
Wales, where the soul may ponder
Lulled by the poppy's breath
Wales where our hopes, terrestrial.
Blossom and bloom supreme
Regions of peace. celestial,
Edens of tranquil drean-
Valleys of vernai glory
Sheltered by hills of Sleep,
Popries lha: tell their story.
Dreams that their secret keep
Stiffness and calm forever
Silence and angels dream
Down by the sacred River,
Under the astral CLEAN
And there in the hush OF ages,
God shall declare the Dawn
Time shall gave turned its pages
Night shall have passed and gone
And the voice Of God shall 'waken
Slumber of vale and tomb,
And the Faith that remained mistaken
Shall there--like the poppy-bloom.

the mixer is the most important

the men behind the guns that the

George Jerome Smith, at one time deputy collector of customs at Wran- gell, died few days ago at Portland, Ore., of appendicitis.
 The Eskimos of Council showed their public spirit by turning out in force Monday and Tuesday last week to calk and bank up the new Pres bytyterian church. With no compensa- tion except little "kowkow" at noon, they finished the job in good shape.- | News.
 The value of news often depends as much upon the locality concerned as it does upon the character of the news itself For instance, the other day the Seattle Times gave a seven column head to story about the aurora bore alis being visible from it's city. In Alaska old aurora is so familiar to everybody that he does not even fur nish the newspabers two-line item.- Skagway Alaskan.
 D. Semers, passenger on the Nome steamer Roanoke, says that on August F, while going down the Nazina river, rowboat containing twelve prospect ors from Seattle capsized, and all but two were drowned.

 A Dawson correspondent of the Ta- coma Ledger says that in an explosion of dynamite which completely wrecked the cabin occupied by himself and three partners, Elmer Crawford, of Lovett gulch, was horribly lacerated.

Twenty-Five stitches had to be taken in his wounds and it will be a couple of months before he is able to be around. Crawford is at the Good Samaritan hospital. The four miners had a wonderful escape from complete destruction. They were thawing three or four sticks of dynamite in the stove while they cooked breakfast.
 A Nome correspondent of the Seattle Times says There is much specula- tion as to which of the Republican factions will be recognized at Juneau. So far as regularity goes, it is believed that the home-rule crowd, headed by Brunner and Whitehead, has the best of the argument, as it has elected twelve delegates to the November 10 gathering, while the federal-ring gang has chosen twenty-nine, seventeen more than summoned by the call. On the other hand, it is believed the latter will be admitted, as it is thought certain a majority of the Juneau delegates will be eitber federal officials or sympathizers with them. A curious feature of the fight was the fact that the gamblers of Nome voted in body for the ticket headed by C.S. Johnson in the fear that if they defeated it Col. Grigsby and Marshal Richards, boom CTS of the federal ticket, would in anger order the closing of the gam bling houses forthwith. Judge A. z. Watson, of Chicago, and Dr. White head, recommended for delegates to the national convention by the home rule crowd, are on their way to Juneau. Judge Watson is a passenger on the Senator.

 "What we have we'll hold," has been the attitude of the Tanks on the Alas ka Boundary question, and it has served them we'll.

 Although Alaska was at one time looked upon as Stewards Folly" the people are changing their minds and endeavoring to heap honors on the aforesaid Seward, so much so in fact, that three cities, or would be cities, in Alaska, are now named after him; and when the mail man of the future re- ceives letter for Seward, it will be hard for him to determine whether it should go to Lynn canal, the Forty Mile country or to Resurrection Bay
 A Vancouver, B. C., paper says United States immigration laws will immedi- ately be enforced in the territory in- cluded in the recent settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute.

 A bill to amend the United States mineral laws is to be introduced in the next congress by W. H. Douglas of New York. The bill provides for square claims, 660 feet ou side, con- taining ten acres.

 During the present season there has been built and in course of construc- tion, thirty-five new buildings in Ketch- ikan. This does not include the many additions and alterations made upon residences and business houses. Who says Ketchikan is not growing and is soon destined to be the metropolis of Southeastern Alaska, says the Journal.

Her cargo is valued at s15oOoo at the present wholesale prices in Dawson. An effort will nrobablv be made to move the meats by sleighs. The steamer Light ming, which was sent to the relief of the Kerr, and the steamer Louise, are also marooned near Circle. The Susie and Rock Island, after desperately rough trips, reached Dawson.

Roosevelt is not an attractive public
speaker. He generally reads his
speeches from printed slips, and
keeps close to the text. He writes
and dictates fuently, and has an
especial fondness for the word
Every" which is sprinkled through
his public addresses and documents
and his private correspondence.
The Presidents enthusiasts are
violent, but not long-lived. He al
ways wants to do everything himself.
He takes a hand in all arrangements
and gives orders about the most
trivial affairs. He formerly had no
conjunction about saying things
about his enemies. Now he thinks
it is as well to say nothing if moth
ing good can be said. His actions
in the last two years have been main
ly directed by the chart of 1904. He
is sharp and stern with his subordi-
mates, dictatorial and severe. He
sometimes makes a joke, but really
has a poor sense of humor. His
jokes are generally sad. Witness the
famous Secretary Shaw joke, when
he told Shaw, during the coal-strike
settlement, he would send him "back
to de mines (Des Moines)." Shaw
comes from Iowa, you know. The
President lectures Senators and Rep
resentatives at times as if they were
school-boys. He calls them up to the
White House and lays down common
statements of fact as if they were
new discoveries by himself. He thinks
in conventional lines, potwithstand-.
ing his reputation for originality. He
is platitudinous.
