with the present issue the Daily Alaskan begins its seventh year as daily newspaper. It was on the first day Of February, 1898, when Skagway was yet less than half year old, that it vas born. Since that time its pubh- cation has been continuous In fact, it is the only paper now being published in Southeastern Alaska that was in eX- stance at the time Of its birth, except the Sitka Alaskan and the possible eN- csption of the Juneau Record-Miuer. lThs connection between the present Juneau Daii- Record-Nliner aud the old Weekly Miner and Weekly Record is very shadowyl
 That the Daily Alaskan has outlived nearly all it's contemporaries of half dozen years ago, and that it is now con- ceded Co be the largest and the leading newspaper of Southeastern Alaska is in itsef sufficient to indicate that it is filling it's field to the satisfaction of the people.
 In The six years Of its existence the Daily Alaskan has grown from a five column exclusively local paper to a ueveu-column paper with telegraphic dispatches from the four corners of the world It is more prosperous and its position more stable today than it has been at any time since it's birth.
 The Daily Alaskan is in Skagway 10 stay. It's purpose for the future is to follow the course of che past under the present management Iwu continue Co publish che news and Co advocate those principles and policies that count for the welfare of Skagway and Alaska

Mixed Verdict

The verdict of debating society was mixed last night. The judges decided in favor of those who argued the ai- frmative of the question, that the in- ventiou of machinery was to the detri- ment of labor. The question was then opened up for general debate, and after many speeches had been made there was a vote on the question, and the negative was victorious. Mrs. S. Hall Young was official critic and made a decided hit with her witty and pointed remarks.
 Miss Sprinstead rendered two solos from the popular opera, "Prince of Pusen, which were heartily applaud ed. The violin and guitar duet, by the soldiers Pennington brothers, and the recitations by Miss Bessie Young and Miss Eleanor Leslie, were encored.

Wash Sehmasser Tom ODD. nell,

Thos. J. O'Donneil of Denver "ralIIed"
at this city last Saturday night. When
the speaking started the opera house was
filled to its capacity and as it proceeded
the audience began 10 dwindle and by the
time the last speaker had finished hardly
corporal's guard was Jeff in the hsll.
Mr.. O'Donnell was in good voice and his
gestures we're picturesque, bu, he fright
ened a number of his bearers, and aw ok e
several by his violent climaxes. The
speech was very trying to the nervous
systems of some OF the democratic lead
ers, but the republican auditors could not
be reused to applaud any of the points
made by the distinguished orator. Mr..
O'Donnell stated that he was not after
votes for Adams, and it is a ciuch that he
didn't make any by his speech.
Frank E. Wheeler, former resident
OF this city, where he was in the business
of ore buyer" and won the everlasting
regard of the miners by his liberal settle
ments for ore shipments, addressed the
meeting. and B. J. O'Connell made few
remarks which added variety to the
otherwise rather dull entertainment
