Fate Millions of Years Away

THIS fate seems millions of years distant; and long
before reaching this period physical life, human
force nutrition ideas, religions sciences languages
all will have been changed, and even the geography
of our globe will be vastly different from that Of
to-day. Humanity, in its childhood as we
perceive only too clearly from its ouerihty and in
consistency, has before it an immense future as
immense as the immcnsities of the universe We
may therefore hope that some day it will attain a
certain social harmony, peace or concord, and will
live according to the dictates of reason. That it
will ever attain perfection is improbable since the
organic conditions of little planet are them
selves too imperfect. On our own planet one
must eat to live, and one must kill to eat which
state OF things is contrary to perfect development
Even though at future period it be possible to feed
by means of chemical substances, there would all
ways remain the great imperfection of our senses
which cannot deceive as to the exact reality.
Various accidental deaths are also within our
comprehension. Our earth might dash against
long train of uranolites that would crush It either
partially or completely 1t might further be caught
by system of electric forces that would act like
brake upon It's twelve movements and that would
either melt it or it to ignite. 1t might burst
like the upper crust of a volcano, or be swallowed
up in a titanic earthquake 1t might lose the oxv-
gen that enables to live. 1t might be attracted
by the passage of a celestial body that would thus
bear 1t from the and would precipitate it into
the icy depths of space, or it might possibly be
literally roasted by tenfold solar heat.
Then, too, there comets. Have they not
more than once caused alarm to humanity? Their
number is considerable Kepler has said that there
exist as many comets in the heavens as fish

ness will gradually come on. A solid crust will
become fixed in the place of the mobile surface
of this fiery globe. Then the world must inevita-

system, a frozen cemetery, continuing doubtless
to turn a dark ball around another dark bali

FRI se ss avss or the that sa as9 e saa
w solar system is rushing along at the tre-
mendous rate of seventy thousand ko-
meters FORTY three thousand miles, hour toward
a point in the heavens designated by the con-
stellation Hercules. But whether this rate is
greater or less in day than in some prehistoric
age, or even whether it has been always, or will
remain so, no man knoweth. And what shall we
do when we get there? All! that is one of the
riddles of the universe.
Another riddle more easily within range of human
comprehension is the ultimate end of the earth
not where in the universe it going find rest but
what IS to be the manner of its death VIII it fall
into ruins ancient monument of the frrna-
ment decayes by millions of centuries of existence?
Yes, without doubt; for it is not immortal 1t has
not always existed, and will not always exist. The
earth has had a birth, and will consequently die.
But there are as many possible modes of death
for world, apparently as for other living beings.
May Die of Old Age
DERHAPS the end most apparent to us all, that of
sheer old age may come to it. We see the water
and air of earth diminishing, and we see the
plane of the continents gradually sinking but
tainy reducing the surface of the globe to gen.
eral level This gives rise to the conjecture Will
the earth perish from drought and cold? will it
be overwhelmed by the conquering ocean?
Water sustains the heat and life of the earth.
Should it disappear, this would mean the total ex-
tinction of all that lives breathes, and renders
nature active. Should the liquid clement, on the
contrary, invade the dry land, such an action,
though Numerically opposed to the preceding,
produces, nevertheless, similar result In either
case it would mean the destruction of the human
race. Both ocean and atmosphere have been in
the past much more extended than now. There
even time when all the great capitals Of the
world slept at the bottom of the sea, and we find
now in the midst of our continents undeniab1e
traces of former sojOurn of the waters thereon.
Nothing is inmutabe here below Everything

ARE THESE THINGS TRUE!

No man has a right to do things in Alaska that he would not do in any part of the United States. The charge of an unlawful act casts shadow on the reputation of the man at whose door it is laid. If the federal officers at Juneau wish to hold the esteem of the people they should keep their hands clean.
 The Alaska Transcript is either mis- lead or it has stirred something rotten, If the statements made by that paper are not based upon facts then the boys who draw their pay from Uncle Sam should get up and holler. If these things are true, it is time to reform.
 The Transcript says:
 "There may be some law in the books granting to federal officers and each of their petty clerks and deputies the right to take prisoners from the fed eral jail and use them as private serv- ants at their own homes, but our class never got that far when we went to law school. We learn from a reliable source and we believe it to be true that prisoners are taken from the federal jail in Juneau and used as servants in the families of federal officials. Not only officials, it is alleged, are doing this, but clerks and even clerks depu- ties are permitted to use these people as servants, to do any and all kinds of work. It is alleged, and we believe it to be true, that the wife of one of the deputies in division No. is furnished with prisoner, too delicate to do heavy work, whose duty it is during certain hours each day to rock the baby while her ladyship attends so- eial functions"

GOOD BYE, BRADY

Recent press dispatches from the the national capital indicate that AL aska is about to be rid of that malig- nant ataiction known as Johu G.. Brady, who has misrepresented the people of Alaska, as governor of the district.
 The report of special agent Churchill was not favorable to Brady; and he will be allowed to quietly sneak out the back door of publicity. There was a time when Brady might have retired from public life with at least the respect of his fellow-eitizens, but that time is past and gone, and you never hear him spoken of now as Honest John Brady"
 The fact that Brady was and always has been absolutely incompetent was not sufficient in itself to dislodge him. However, when the Churchill re- port revealed the fact that he had used his official position to aid in the form ation and financing of the mining com pany, that fixed him.
 There are many candidates for the position. We earnestly hope the new governor will be an Alaakan, and that too one who will place the interest of the white above that of the siwash.

BUSINESS MEN MEET

At the call of Judge Bach, President of the Chamber of Commerce, about thirty of the business men of Douglas met last night at the Palm Garden to discuss the all absorbing freight ques- tion.
 The subject was discussed informal ly at first, man after man expressing his dissatisfaction at the advance in rates.
 A motion prevailed authorizing the chair to appoint committee of three to draft resolutions, settting out the cause of complaint, and calling for the cooperation of the Chambers of Com merce of s. E. Alaska towns and Pa cific coast cities in an attempt to se- cure redress.
 A motion then prevailed to wire the steamboat association offering to sign contracts with the steamship com panies at specific rate. A rate was agreed on, and committee appointed to send the message.
 It was then decided to make the or ganization a permanent one by re-juvi- mating the Chamber of Commerce, and twenty-seven men walked up and signed their name to the roll, and deposited a months dues in advance.
 Alex. SmallHood was elected treasur- CT to take charge of the money. An auditing committee of three members was appointed.
 Several matters of interest to the town were discussed and committees appointed to look into them and re- port.
 The Chamber then adjourned to meet at the same place next Tuesday night.
 The meeting last night was almost unani nous expression of the business men of Douglas, only few of the firms not being represented. All of the speak CTS were determined and some were almost bitter. If the proposition decid- ed upon is rejected, there is no doubt that a vigorous campaign will be in augurated, the plan of which will com pletely ignore the existence of the two companies now in the field These men are convinced that they have paid excessive freight rates in the past and they are determined not to pay more if it can be avoided.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY

On another page, we print in full Mir. Sulzer's bill, providing for the election of delegate to the house of represen- tatives from the district of Alaska. It is probable that this or an act of simi- lar import will pass congress at this session, and we hope our readers will read Mir. Sulzer's bill carefully. Its provisions are in every respect adapted to the peculiar conditions existing in this district, and indicate thorough knowledge of such conditions on the part of the writer of the bill. While the needs of Alaska are apparently as countless as the sands of the sea, the one great need, and the desire of all of the people is that we be granted an authorized representative. Nothing will or could do more to clear the at mosphere.

The editor started out to learn the particulars of the death, and meeting the doctor, told him about the case. He said that was nothing, that he had a patient once that swallowed ther- mometer and died by degrees. A couple of bystanders then clipped in. One of them said it reminded him of a fellow down in Kansas that swallowed a pistol and went of easy.

All Fools Ddy

The jokers had their fun Sunday in
Glenwood rs it was All Fools day,
and the pranks that were played were
unlimited. However none of the jokes
perpetrated were of serious nature
and everybody was happy.
All the old gags and several new
ones were used and the most success
full among the lot was that of placing
a big fat pocketbook on the sidewalk
with string attached so that when
the unsuspicious would reach to pick
it up it could be jerked away. In one
place the pocketbook was securely
nailed to the sidewalk and almost up
set large, serious faced lady who
attempted to pick it up, greatly to the
amusement of a gang of youngsters.
In one OF Glenwoods we'll known

got theirs, good and plenty. They
had been in the habit of playing jokes

"DOrd ThOrne" Made a Hit

The Dora TIL orne' company that
played at the opera house Saturday
night, proved to be very good and
and was satisfactory to the large aud
fence that was in attendance. The
house was well filled by $3.50 even to
the boxes and throughout the audience
was very liberal with applause for the
efforts of the company to please them.
The two strongest features of the
bill was the acting of Donna Sol as
'Dora Thorne, and Edwin F. Clarke
as Stephen Thorne" the lodge keeper.
They were both exceptionally strong
in their roles and pleased the audience
thoroughly. George Gordon, as the
lover of Dora Torne, was good, as
was also Harry Rodgers as Lord
Rupert.
The comedy OF the play was fur.
nised by Miss Louise De Varney and
Frederick Wyatt and they were ex-
tremely clever, keeping the house in
an up1oar whenever they were upon
the scene. Their chief aim was to
get married but their unruly tempers
kept them apart until the conclusion
of the last act when in moment of
sweetness they were quickly mar
ried, and lived happily ever afterward
that is, it was left to the audience
to suppose So
Altogether the company is a fairly
good one and evenly balanced in every
respect, and no doubt when they next
appear in Glenwood they will be
greeted by larger audience than was
at the opera house Saturday night.

how much work should be done on the

The fun of the evening was caused
when Mr.. Voorhees, suggested that the

the ordinance to go into effect as soon
as possible. This brought forth a
protest from Charley Barnes who did
not deem such move advisable.
Mayor Parkison said he woud offer no
strenuous objection to the motion if
Mr.. Voorhees, would amend 1t to read
that the new law should date year
back - DR., Clark said "he didn t
like no cheap man no how, but
the mayor seemed to take no notice
of the interruption.
DR. Robinson was in favor of the
motion and made an elegant spell
to have it carried, but Charley said
no, Lucas looked wise and Clark and
Heisler were engaged in conversa-
tion of mental telepathy. The mayor
advised thar a vote be taken on the
motion so the clerk called the roll.
1t resulted in four to two shot
against the motion of Mr.. Voor-
hees. Dr. Robinson accused Mr.
Lucas of having cold feet and Clark
moved that the doctor use no such
harsh words and say instead German
