Some $4,000 immigrants from Italy

Many of the railroads in the South
are very prone to give passes 1ndls-
crimnately, SO that on some OF the
smaller roads about all the promi-
nent people who live along the line
are carried free. Storekeepers, saw
mill proprietors, politicians; in fact,
almost everybody who can afford to
pay mis- fare goes. scot free, while the
negroes and poor country folk pay
the large fares eXacted-.the larger,
of course, for the roads loss on the
deadheads. One Georgia railroad,
however, has set it's face against the
evil, and has resorted to Scripture to
make plain it's position. 1t has posted
in the two or three passenger cars
that comprise it's equipment the fol-
lowing notice:
This means you!

Words OfPOOt and Seer

The following lines, written under the head lines, "He's All Right" were received blythe Daily Alaskan from an anuonymous sage, who evidently knows a good thing when he sees it: How dear to our heart is the steady
 subscriber, Who pays in advance at the birth of each year; Who lays down his money and offers it gladly, And casts round the office a halo of cheer. Who never says, Stop it, I cannot af,
 ford it."
 Or, "Am getting more papers than I can now read. But always says, Send it, read it and
 like it And can't do without tits just what
 I need. Flow welcome he is when he steps in our sanctum, How he maAes our hearts throb How he makes our eyes dance We outwardly thank him-we inwardly
 bless him The steady subscriber who pays in ad-

GOODRECORD Six away Baseball Team Has
 Done We'll

The winning of the game at White horse, Saturday, has helped to make the record of the Skagway baseball team for the present year very satistac- tory to it's admirers. It is true that it has won but one out of three games from the Whitehorse players, but it has defeated every other aggregation that it went up against and it played close to Whitehorse in the two games it lost to that town
 This year, the Skagway baseball team has defeated the Eighth Infantry team, the crack team of the Third h. fantry, which is now at Valdez, the Third Infantry team of the First batal- lion, and Juneau and Douglas Play CTS from the team contributed to the defeat of the Dawson league teams. Now it has defeated the Wbitehorse team, and it is confidently believed that it can do it again.
 It is very greatly desired that anoth- CT game be secured with the excellent Whitehorse team for next Saturday.

If their hold ings have deprecia;ed iu value they have only the unreasOning greed of the management of their company to blame. .=The city council did all but to beg on pended knee to induce it to save itself. It refused to consider anything but it's own appetite for dividends until the city was compelled .iu self defense to build it's own water plant. Now it is a question as to whether the city and the taxpayers are to pocket the loss be- cause of the folly of the management of the water company or whether the stockholders in that company are to suffer. In self defense, the citizens of the city are bound to support the mu- nicipality.
