If a camp of considerable magni- tude develops on the Chand- lar it will also lead to a speedy prospecting of the Arctic slope, and in many other respects will mark a turning point in Alaska as far as the development of the territory is concerned.

and was at the end of a rick etv walk a half mile from town. The people were pleas ant and kind and happy in spite of it all, but they en- dured much and deserved better things. One day we asked a man why he did not build for himself a nice home and send to the States for his family. We shall always re- member what that man said and the way he looked. His answer was rough, but per haps he had reason to feel that way. He said What in hell do you take me for?'
 That was Douglas of long ago. Now we look on a diff ferent scene. Miles of paved streets, lighted at every cor ner; troops of handsome, happy children dressed like for Sunday school; the jingle of music from cheerful homes and many other happy sights and sounds tell the story of the change that has come to Douglas. Has it been a life time in doing? No; really only a few short years"

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1906.

IN the matter of placing correct estimates upon gold strikes and stampedes a few cold facts are worth more than all the theories and opinions in the world. Un- fortunately the public in this part of the country is not in possession of many authenti- cated facts regarding the find on the Chandlar; and as a consequence any opinion as to the worth of the new dis trict may be taken as more in the nature of 'hunch" than as the result of reason able calculation. We believe 1t is true, however, that there is better ground for optom- istic views regarding Chand- lar than has been the case in most new districts since the great discovery on the Klon- dike. In the earlier stages of the Panama excitement even rumor did not attribute to that country such an ex- tent of gold-bearing ground as appears reasonably certain to have been found on the Chandlar. There is no evi- dence tending to show that the Chandlar stampede was precipitated by commercial or other schemers. It has a cleaner look about it than most affairs of the kind; and it will not be surprising if it develops into a rich and prosperous district. For a great many reasons it is to be hoped it will.

Such things as are told of the town in the following story are happening to the territory as a whole-a little more slowly but none the less surely. It is the history of all the towns, cities, terri tories and states, in embryo, and is from the Douglas Island News:
 "Sometimes change works so slowly that it escapes mo- tice. When the writer first came to Douglas almost ev- cry dwelling was a cabin, brick chimneys were regard ed as useless luxuries, and the only thing that every body had was a lantern to find his way through the stumps. Bath tubs were al- most unheard of; the people bathed, but God knows where. Pianos and musical instru- ments were limited to the dance halls. One horse per formed the service that now taxes the capacity of three or four dray lines. Sidewalks, where there were any, were narrow and frail, and at night the streets were as black as ink. The children were mostly natives with un- wiped noses, ar white ones suffering from the same af- flictiou. The school hous, was little and dirty and cold

the total amount received was
$aO6.4O. The agreements were
between the American Beet Sugar
Company and owners Of land under

the terms of the agreement the

ty bad it presented itself - there
is . limestone bluff on one side of
the track with jagged rock ripr.p-
ping along the bank Of the river on

the train was going meant sure

Of them were injured in the least.

The blame for the accident was
placed upon Conductor John Joy of

on No. 3's schedule. which was two
hours late. and thought he had time
to make the siding at Robinson. He
was mistaken and the investigation
resulted in Conductor Joy and the
