THE CLOvEN HOOP

The Valdez Prospector takes the Val dez News to task for opposing the reap pointment of Gov. Brady, and iu sum- ming up its case against it's eontemPor- ary and colleague in Prince William sound journalism, it says;
 "Tbe governor has always been friendly toward Valdez; has never done A thing in any way to hurt Us CT hinder our progress, and above all, he is-wha' is hard to find among Ai,ska politicians -an honest man.
 Consider Valdez and not Southeastern Alaska"
 The Prospector never misses an op- portunity to exhibit the cloven foot that brands it's toryism. Other sections of Alaska might have legitimate obIec- tions to Brady, but he is friendly to Valdez. It matters not that the objec' tion to him is that he stands for every thing that is undemOcratic, unreEu5li- can and un-American, he is friendly to Valdez. It matters not that he would forget that we live in the 2Oth century and would hark back to the days when the people were divided into lords and vaSsals, be is friendly Co Valdez. lt matters not that he opposes every thing that stands for the progress ot the entire district, it matters not that his face is set against the mining and commercial development of the district he is friendly to Valdez, It matters not that in his game of retrogreSsion he thinks it serves his purpose to play the sel6shuess of Valdez against the tn- terests of the district as a whole so long as he serves the purpose of those who last year decided that Valdez would sever itself from the other sections oi Alaska and go it alone,
 In the face of this position, the Val dez Prospector -aS the etrOutry 10 ini' mate that honesty is scarce in Alaska For shame.
 In passing, it should be said that never was libel more undeserved than that which is contained iu the state ment that an honest man is "hard to find among Alaska politicians Aside from less than a half dozen lobbyists, among whom Valdez "go it alone crowd was well represented, the pruteS- sional politicians in Alaska are almost conclusively confined 10 the office hold ing class. To say that there are few honest officials in Alaska is as false a. any thing can be false. There are few sections of the world where there is generally a higher state of efficiency or honesty than that possessed by the fed. cral employees in this district.
 But granting that its charge Is true for a minute, in what position does the Valdez Prospector spp ace it self as a public newspaper? If Alaskan poll i;iars dishonest, why does it not preseur @ bill of particulars? Where is it's proof: why does it not name the men who are ulsnOneSL' anu ucLuaAO sA~- eLN3 'N branded as unworthy of the confidence of their fellows? Why does iJ not try to be honest itself and fultll the duty of a decent newspaper? The papers which oppose the reappOintmeDt or Brady have presented their case against him to the minuJest detail. Let the the ProspeetOr do likewise fl it would that it command the credit that attaches to good faith. This thing of making nnsuporte statements, charging general dishonesty, is one of the most contempt ibIe of the petty methods of djshones. and small-brained men.

OBITUARY.
xvOoooooooo oooooooooooo

Miss Grace Sterling died at the home

Ottumwa January Is. The funeral

church Thursday morning at 1880
o'clock. conducted by the pastor. Rev.
j. w. Megan, and attended by large
number of friends, all of when knew

Grace Sterling was the third daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. David Sterling of
Competine. She was born in Compe-
tine township May 81, 1876. In her
twelfth year she was taken down with
inflammatory rheumatism, from which
she never fully recovered. heart dis
ease being a result. AT times she
seemed to have very good health. so
much so that she taught school three
or four terms, being very successful.
The work proved too much for her
strength. however, and she was COM
PEELED to abondon it, much against her
will. Her ambition was far above her
strength.
For two years before her death she
suffered most of the time, but she en-
dured her sufferings with Christian
patience. no one ever hearing word
of complaint from her. She quietly
endured her lot, never thinking of her
own suffering, but tenderly and low
ingly doing what she could to make
other lives happy. Her last words and
thoughts was for her sick mother at
home
She was baptized into membership
of the Baptist church of COMPETING

(chapter XIV Continued.)

SIS it true, Alice?" cried he; sis it
SO? Can you truly say, And SO she has
In mine?'"
And Alice looked up at him with that
glorious smile still upon her face and
mine Quincy"
Quincy led her to the lounge by the
window, through which the cool even
ing breeze was blowing, and they sat
down side by side.It has been truly said
that the conversations of lovers are
more appreciated by themselves than
anybody else, and it is equally true
that at the most tender moment in
such conversations, intensely disagree
able Interruptions are likely to occur.
Sometimes it is the well-meaning,
but unthinlSing father: again it is the
solicitous but inquisitive mother; but
more often it is the unregenerate AND
disrespectful young brother or sister.
In this case it was Miss Rosa Very,
who burst into the room, bright and
rosy. after her trip upon the water. AS
she entered she cried out, ooh. you
don't know what you missed. l had
a most delightful" She stopped
short, the truth flashed upon her that
there were other delightful ways. of
passing the time than in sailboat.
She was in dilemma.
Quincy solved the problem. He
simply said, Goodbye, Alice for one
short week.
He turned expecting to see Miss
Very, but she had vanished. He
clasped Alice in his arms and kissed
her, for the first time, and then led
her to her easy chair and left her
there.
AS he quilted the room and closed
the door he met Miss Rosa Very in
the entry.
81 did not know" said she, but l
am SO glad to know it. She is the
sweetest. purest, loveliest woman l
have, ever known and your love is
what she needed to complete her hap
piness. She will be saint now l
will take good care OF her Mr.. Saw
yer, until you come again for love
her too"
Quincy pressed her hand warmly,
and the next moment was in the little
street. He was rich man. as the
world judges riches, but to him his
greatest treasure was Affects first KISS
still warm upon his lips.

CHAPTER XXXyu.

For Quincy and Alice, day after day,
and week after week, found them in a
state of complete happiness The lit
tile island floating in the azure sea was
their world, and for the time, no
thought of any other intruded upon
their delightful Eden. 1t seemed to
Quincy all a blissful dream of love, and
everything he looked upon was
wreathed in flowers and golden sun
shine
But lotus land is not so far distant
from the abodes of mortal man but
that his emissaries may reach it, The
first Earring note in the sweet har-
mony of their married life came in the
form of a. letter from DR.. Culver, who
wrote to remind Quincy that it would
soon be time to start in ploughing
the political field. Quincy's reply
was brief and to the point
"My Dear Culver-I will see you in
Boston on the tenth of September.
@. A. S."
When Aunt Ella learned that her
nephew was going to town. she made
hurried preparations for her depart
ure from Old Orchard. and wrote to
him insisting that he and Alice should
come and stay with her. This invita-
ton they gladly accented, Quincy
arranging in his mind to ex-
plain matters to his family by
saying that, as he had now entered
politics and would necessarily have a
great many callers to entertain, he
thought it best to make his headquar-
ters with Aunt Ella until the cam
paign was over.
Accordingly, September g. saw them
located at Mt. Vernon street On the
very day of their arrival, proof of the
remaining stories and large install
ment of Blennerhassett reached them,
with g. note from Ernst:
please rush. Press is waiting"
Miss Very's assistance was now alb
solutely necessary, but when Quincy
asked Leopold for her address. he was
surprised at the reply he received.
Il haven't seen her." said Leopold,

When, he babe Alice good-by for a
week, Quincy was keeping a prom. Sc
he had made to his father. The sec
ond evening before he had spent with
his family at Nahant. and while he
was smoking an after dinner cigar
upon the veranda, the Hon. Nathaniel
had joined him.
Quincy" said the latter. 81 must
ask you when you intend to resume
your professional duties. You are now
restored to health and it is my desire
that you do so at once"
While I would not wilfully show
disrespect to your wishes father, said
Quincy calmly. Il must say frankly

1T can hardly be called profess
