rHECTTIZENS' CONVENTION AND
 THE ELECTION

The citizens convention gave the present. city government of SkagWay a deserved endorsement last night by re- nominating all those members of it who would consent to run again, and in do ing so it did it's best to insure the city a caps5le and honest administration for the ensuing year.
 The present council of this city has been efficient in very marked degree. It has done much for the people. Be csuse of it we have excellent fire pro lection, and the cost of water and light has been reduced materially to business men and residents. There has been a good deal of street work done. The streets have been well lighted. The school has been we'll provided with funds. There has been little waste any place. Everywhere there has been evidence of competency and honesty ot purpose.
 That the new men named, Mir. Net ties and Mir. Culbertson, if elected, will be worthy successors of Mir. Boughton and Mir. Britt, who have made excel lent servants of the people, there is nc doubt. Mir. Kettles has been tried be- fore, and was not found wanting, and Mir. Culbertson is a capable young bus mess man of the very best type.

Notwithstanding all this, the Daily Alaskan will not refuse to recog- nize those who are dissatisfied with the action of the citizens convention. It is a fact that there are some people in town who think the ticket was ma chine made for selfish purposes. The number who so think is not great, Ws believe, ard it would be far smaller ii the people would attend the cornell meetings in greater numbers and there witness with what conscientious re- gard the city's business is cared for.
 Those who are not perfectly satisfied with the ticket nominated last night have two days in which to place anoth- CT one in the field. They can do it by holding another convention or by pe- tition. If they will act on this prerog- sr.ye of their citizenship the Daily Alaskan promises them fair and full hearing. It will place sufficient space in its columns at their disposal for the publication of all the arguments against the reelection Of the present council, or ID favor of electing other members of that body that they may care to set forth. It will only insist that prints- ble language be used and that libelous matter be excluded. It will treat every argument presented with con- sideration and respect that will be en- tirely satisfactory to those advanc- ing it.
 If any considerable number of the people think they are not getting a fair deal it were fa- better for all con oerned that they avail themselves of the opportunities the law allows them for their protection. That is what cleo tions are provided for, and the discus sion of public matters promotes civic health. On the other and half smoth- cred grumbling breeds lack of conf- dence and undermiles public stability.

Nine Gored Skirt.

The skirt worn with girdle of
the material is favorite one. 1t
gives the suggestion of the corselet
effect without the disadvantages
which chat style has for certain fig
ures and is very generally becoming.
Here is one that is absolutely novel in
effect and that is pleated after quite
new and distinctive manner. In the
illustration gray broadcloth, in the
shade known as opium smoke, is
stitched with belding silk and
trimmed with little folds of the ma
terial and with handsome buttons.
All the suiting materials of the sea-
son are, however, appropriate. the
skirt making desirable one for the
more severe and useful costumes of
mannish suitings and tweeds. as well
as for the dressy ones of broadcloth.
The skirt is cut in nine cores. The
front gore is laid in two box pleats
with outward turning pleats at the
edges, while the side-front cores are
cut with extensions that lap well over
onto it and are stitched into position.
The back cores are laid in two box
pleats that meet at the centre. and
the girdle is cut in sections, the
seams of which meet those of the
skirt and which provide perfect fit.

4 PREACHER and A WRITER OF READ

there is fine opening for ready
made clothes for men and women,
provided the colors be bright. 1t is
possible that adherence to the taste
for vivid hues may save the situation,
but there IS danger that the drum
mer, in his anxiety to increase trade,
will knock out the tourist business.
Nine-tenths of the attraction that
visit to Oriental countries has for the
average traveller Is the picturesque
costumes of the Inhabitants. If they
are supplanted by European toys, and
nothing but the dirt is left, 1t is
doubtful whether the latter will
prove a powerful enough magnet to
draw the tourist. - San Francisco

These facts have been officially

soon as certain things can be ac-
complishsd the Southern and NJ. &
o. will begin their important work
between Nashville and the Missis-
sippi River. One Of the projects
seriously discussed now is that the
Southern viii build from Nashville
TO a connection with the Mobile &
Ohio just south Of Cairo with a
branch TO Paducah, and give the
Frisco Railroad entrance into Nash
vile over that line for certain con-
ccssioEs elsewhere. These three
roads have many things in common

the several joint deals made recently
bear cut this conclusion to a con-
siderable extent The Frisco and
the Southern jointly own the new
terminals at New Orleans where the
Frisco enters that city over the
tracks OF the Yazoo line of the

The predictions on the wheat crop
Of 1906 range from $1,000. 900 to
TAO. O0O.0 900 bushels. These are
based on acreage and on condition
at the present time, when a large
part Of the crop is harvested. In
1901 the crop was 74S,0OO,0OC
bushels. This is the only time
when wheat has passed the 10000
900 mark. The yield for 1906 is
certain to be next to the largest ever
gathered. As corn gives promise to
