And now Seattle is starting out in an endeayor to get up an Alas kan Exposition at that city in 1907 That shows an energetic spirit on the part of our neighbors and is certainly appreciated by the coun- try of fine scenery, big fish, totem poles and extensive gold fields; but as long as it is to be an Alaskan affair, why not place it where it properly belongs-at some point in Alaska. There are certainly towns in the district capable of arranging a creditable exhibit of our resour- ces and caring for visitors, and by having it here it would bring into the district people from all over the world to see for themselves the greatest country on earth-a coun- try of which there is but one way of acquainting ones self, and that is by coming and seeing. Seattle is altogether too far away to have an Alaska Exposition.

A well meaning gentleman at Seattle, who is evidently ignorant of affairs in this part of the country, writes friend: "Congressman Humphrey is thinking of coming to Wrangell with me on hunt ing trip up the Stikine river country, and has requested me to write to you about horses for the trip. 1 wish three horses and would like to know at what price l can get them per day. If they ask too much for their horses up the river would it not be better to pur- chase them at Wrangeil." The SENTI- MEL man has been in Wrangell four yrs During that time he has seen but two and broke his neck the other went over a cliff and was found dead.
 After an exciting man hunt, in which many civilians took part, the lone high wayman who has been terrorizing trav elers and doing thriving hold-up busi- ness on the road leading from Fairbanks to the creeks during the past eight months, was captured and is now behind the bars. The name of the highwayman is Hendricks, and he was convict No l at the Dawson Penitentiary. On June 13, 1898 he was arrested for sluice-box robbery on Hunker creek and was sen fenced to five years mprisonment.- Douglas Island News.
 The boys who came over from Kla- wack last week, say the run of salmon at present is quite satisfactory. The cannery had up the fore part of the wk over 10000 cases of reds, besides a fair number of others. If the present run continues they will come near getting up their contemplated pack (30,0O0 cases) this season.
 Wednesday evening of last week Alert fire company held its regular monthly meeting, and among other items discus sed was the lack of interest shown by the business men in the organization. It was also suggested that some of the old shacks on Front street that serve merely as fire traps, should either be closed up tight or removed.
 The nettles and other weeds have grown up and fallen across the walks in various portions of the town. SENTINEL would offer the suggestion that the appearance of the town could be greatly improved by little time and work spent in cutting down these weeds.

 aska is just beginning to come to the front, can be readily seen by snN observing person, All along the ranges of the mainland between Wrangell and Skagway is the same report-'tthe hills are full of the precious metal" Then the islands in all directions are furnishing as fine ore rock as one wishes to see. All of these lands will some day be worked upon paying basis; but it will be after the world has learned of their richness, and capi. tai has been earnestly invited to come here and seek investment. It may appear trifle strange to some not conversant with quartz mining to hear people calling for money to mine, as the general presumption is that mines yield ready money to all who engage in that vocation, from the very start. On the con- trary there ia no branch of business that requires the amount of money r. does mining, before one can hope 10 realize a return from the invest ment. But when once the return begins, it comes fast. As an in- stance, the Jualin mine at Berner's Bay, has spent thousands of dol lars in develop,aon bnt last week inc wli.er saw "rc} f20,000 in gold IS the result of last months work, with a profit to the mine owners of perhaps $l5,000, This profit will perhaps continue for many years to come. This is but one instance, and is given only to show what capital may do in the development of Alaskan mines. At present in all directions from Juneau there is continuous cannonading, tearing down the mountains and preparing for active work, and the indications arc that within a few months Ju- neau will be the greatest mining center of the country. This is be cause by persistent effort capital has been attracted to that section, and capitalists have not been de- ceived. But in this respect the Ju- neau district can offer no greater inducement or richer gold fields than can the country about Wran- gell. From several claims within a few miles of this place as rich specimens of mineral bearing rock has been brought in as can be found anywhere. Although options have been taken upon these, those secur- ing the options have been unfortu- nate in securing necessary capital to push the work, and hence there has been but little accomplished. Let those who have worked hard and consistently to locate these claims, be not discouraged; but ra- ther let them and let us all put forth renewed effort to secure that recognition of capital that our ore bearing rock deserves; for upon the mining industry of this section de- pe"ds, in a great measure, our suc-

 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publish CTS at the end of their time if they do not wish to continue taking it; other wise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment of arrearages, is sent to the publisher.

hero Is Count MAMMALIAN Of Syria, and the
heroine is a daughter of Charles OF Burgundy
more Familiarity known as Charles the Bold.
Max is very easily prevailed upon by the man
who tells the story to go forth into the world
upon proud adventure bent The two turn their
steps toward Burgundy, for while circumstances
have discouraged the hero's prospects of finding
a bride in the house Of Charles he Is vaguely
drawn to at least what he may see. or
course he very soon sees Yolanda, but the
author is at pains to keep the young man from
knowing just what good luck has befallen him.
Little mysteries are kept up, little adventures
are experienced, and while the lovers work out
their destiny catch glinpses of divers great

The Sword of n knight.

The sword Of a noble knight was
mentioned almost as often as himself
In the songs of the troubadours of the
middle ages. In the olden time this
trusty weapon was named and person
flied as accomplishing countless bril-
liant deeds. In the proverbs OF all ma
lions 1t Is spoken of with reverence and
trust. It represents the rank and re
nown. the herolsm and honor, the glory
and greatness, of nations In the past.
One of the first weapons made by man,
II became his most important arm and
auxiliary of warfare 1t has always
been the visible badge of birth, bravery
and freedom. To surrender 1t was to
admit defeat and disgrace. So long has
il been the constant companion Of rank
and valor that 1t has acquired dignity
Of its own. Like no other weapon, 1t
has a quality entirely distinct from its
character as blood shedder. In Eng
land even at the present day the sword
alone Is considered adequate to confer
knighthood.

The nnnana.

The prohibitlonist looks on with IA
vor. for 1t does not mix with alcohol
and some think the habitual use blunts
the longing for flrewater. Thus Cap
tain Parsons of the English-West In
dian line says that since his seamen
and StOlers have been allowed TO hclI
themselves freely to the cargo Of ba'
nanas they have not wished so much
rum. There is a trace Of copper in the
banana, and deep thinkers believe this
Is beneficial to the human clockwork.
The taste for the banana is not ac-
quired. AS Mr.. Crichton-Browne eX-
claims in a burst of Ciceronic elo-
quence: "An appreciation Of 1t Is not
reached through slow stages Of dimin-
ishing repulsion, but comes Mt the mo-
ment Of first introduction. The infant
absOrbs it greedily; children devour II
with delight; the adult does not
despise it, and the edentulous octoge-
marian blesses Its agreeable tender
ness" -Boston Herald.

Overdue and Missing.

The word missing" applied to ship
brings all hope of safety to an end and
settles the loss Of friends ashore and
Of the underwriters. says Mr.. Joseph
Conrad, writing In the London Mall.
But the word overdue" only strength
ems the fears already born In many
homes ashore and opens the door for
speculation In the market Of risks.
Within the memory Of the present gen.
Grafton n missing ship has never been
known to turn up. But the name OF an
overdue vessel, trembling, as 1t were,
on the edge Of the fatal heading, has
been known to appear as arrived"
