WHERE BEAUTY WINS.

The arrival at tSeattle of the most dis tinguished of Alaska's business men scarcely ever calls for more than casual mention in the big dailies of the coast. But it remained for one of Douglas Islands beautiful young ladies to carry off the palm in the way of big head lines, etc, as the following dispatch from Seattle to. the San Francisco Examiner bears witness:
 @Leaves Alaska after twenty years residence-Arriyal in Seattle of young white woman born in the north. The steamer Dolphin arrived tonight from Lynn Canal. Her passengers included Miss Anna Mccormick, 20 years old and native of Alaska. This is the first time she has ever been beyond the con- fines of the Northland."

CHARLES A. hOPP Editor and Proprietor.
PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
A PLAIN. BLUNT sCoTcHMAN.

The discourse at the Congregational church on last Sunday evening, by Rev. D. Holford, B. D., on "Woman's Sphere, or the Woman for the Times" was listen ed to with deep interest. The speaker told the women some blunt and startling truths that caused them to squirm in their seats and then look thoughtfully at their guilty neighbors. He told them that they were all "hbbers," ," when they threatened their children with punishment andl then failed to apply the punishment; and in so doing, they reared their children without i'm pressing them with the proper regard for truth.
 Women, he said, are the home build CTS, and they make the home either heaven or a hell; and they are sadly neglectiug their duties when they spend their time gadding the streets. The mother fails in her duty who prays that God may make the spirit of her child clean and pure and white, and she is too lazy herself to wash its dirty face. Preacher Holford is shoulder striker he says things and lets the chips fall where they may. The women who went to hear him Sunday night expecting to be flattered and praised, came away mad as hornets. He made them tired. The men will get it next Sunday night.

EXPOSURE

To cold draughts of air, to keen and cutting winds, sudden changes of tenn perature, ,scanty clothing, undue expos ure of the throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Ballard's Horehound Syrup is the best cure.

REGATTA GIVES
MUCH PROMISE

The boating clubs which form the Pa

gramme of shell. barge and skiff races
has been arranged and some interesting
competitions are expected
The Ariel Rowing Club will be repre-
sented in every event except the senior
barge race. The club members enter
tain strong hops of winning the junior
barge and junior outraged skif races
and of doing well in the other events.
c. j. Stevenson, the champion sculler
of New Zealand and winner OF many
races on the Paramatta River (Sydney,
New South Wales), in British Columbia

favorably with any to be found in Aus
tralasia or the Eastern States. He ex-
pected to coach the eight-oared crew of
the Vesper Rowing Club of Philadel-
phia, but reached this country little
too late, a well-known Eastern coach

ney's bid was 81 SO pair for shoeing
horses and 81 so n pair for padding
Two other bids-one made by Dick
Morrissey and the other by T. J..
Crowley-were the same as Graney's.
Crowley asserted before the board that
he did not care about shoeing horses
belonging to fire houses a long dis
tance from his shop, which is located
near the water front, for the reason
that there was but little profit in doing
this work This put him out of the

the department. Chief Sullivan said
that Graney had done the work sat

ANGLERS FILL
THEIR CREELS

While the anglers who whipped the
Paper Mill last Sunday secured good
returns. the weather conditions were
not favorable for the best results. The
stream seemed full of fish, one expert
angler taking six from one small pool.
They did not take the fly AZ they
should, chiefly because of the high wind
which prevailed.
Al Cumming has returned from his
visit to the Klamath and will soon be
off to new streams in the Sierras. be-
yond Truckee. When he started for
home the Klamath River and Shovel
Creek were yielding good returns. Will
Burlingame returned with him as far
as Chico, from which point he went into
the Big Meadows, where he will remain
some time.
Another party which will go to the
Big Meadows next week will be made
up of w. w. Richards and wife, Bert
Spring, Samuel Wells, Harry Hook, Pop
Mcmahon and j. C. Culver.
jeff Wells and wife, Messrs. Foun-
tain, Burns and others leave for Boca
on June 1. The Truckee is like an open
book to Mr.. Wells. He has good re-
ports from the stream, the most en-
couraging being that 1t is lower than
1t has been for many years at this time.
Game Warden Reed of Santa Cruz
sent fiattering news of the trout fishing
in that county under date of the 23d.
He is enthusiastic over the sport af-
forded on Waddell, Scott and Big creeks
He and friend each secured limit
baskets at Scott, below Swanton, in
less than one-third of miles fishing.
The trout ranged from nine inches
down. Mr.. Reed did all his fishing with
fly. A number of anglers secured
the limit on the San Lorenzo, between
Big Trees and Rincon, before noon last
Sunday.
James Thompson. Charles H. Ker-
nell, Joseph Dober and some friends
fished the Purissima recently. They
took some good-sized fish and several
limit baskets were secured by members
of the party.
Frank Dolliver landed three and a
half pound steelhead at Poitn Reyes on
Sunday. Howard Vernon landed some
smaller ones and was then cleaned out
by big fish, whose weight he is afraid
to estimate.
Charles Leonhardt secured a limit
basket on Tuesday on the Lagunitas
The earliest run of salmon known in
years has commenced in Monterey Bay
During the week one boat took twenty
three salmon. ten yellowtail and three
striped bass in one day. The taking Of
the bass on a spoon was an unusual
intervals in a net, but this is the first
one in the memory of fishermen taken
on a spoon
There was too much wind and too
much mud at San Pablo last Sunday
for the bass fishermen. Two boats
were swamped in the heavy weather
which prevailed.
