The following effiusion was this week dropped In our postohice box. Pve always lots of writing to do,
 And often blur my books; When they're exposed to public view,
 It greatly spells their looks. l lost my hair a-scratching for
 Ideas that never came, And those who saw my bald spot said
 They thought it was a shame One day l learned the Sentinel
 An office in the town Was place I could get blotters,.
 Yes, blue and white and brown; sent in mail order
 To ship couple of score, And now my hair is growing
 And my books are blurred no more. It is needless to say we took the hint, and the bare-polled party got his bunch Of blotters. But we feel it our duty to offer him word of advice: Just bear in mind, kind Christian friend,
 While using up those pads, That any kind of printed stuff,
 Can be got right here, by gad Our work is done in neatest style
 That's done by any printer; And you'll find no lower prices if
 You look around all winter. But here's warning would give;
 Throw out those dog -goned books, And make your patrons come with coin,
 Confound their pesky looks 9oul'll have nought then to scratch for,
 And your blotters will not waste. Your hair will just grow lovely then.

LOOKING TOWARD WATERW ORKS
Enthusiastic Meeting Held By WranSell
 Property Holders

A meeting was held at Council Cham. bers in Patenaude's building, Thursday evening last, for the parpose of consider ing the advisability of raising fund for purchasing gasoline engine and pump, to be placed somewhere on the water front, with pipes leading around town for protection against fire. However, after the meeting opened it developed that some of the property owners did not favor :sxpending the amount neces sary to furnish fire protection alone, when by adding few hundred dollars more system of waterworks could be put in that would assure q perpetual supply of pure water for domestic and power purposes as well.
 The meeting was excellently attended, and was organized by the election of Mayor P. c. Mccormack as chairman and Geo. Snyder as secretary. The pur- pose of the meeting was set forth by the chair, and considerable pro and con dis cussion took place.
 In attendance at the meeting was MT. Harfy Hiatt, practical waterworks man, who was called to the floor and stated that his belief, from rough esti- mating, was that fine system of water works could be put in here for 1000 to $, ,0OO He had been over the ground between town and the proposed reser- voir east of the shingle mill, and thought that the building of the dam and laying of the mains would not be a very con- siderable undertaking. He stated that with head main of twrlve inches diam eter, reduced alternately to ten, and then to eight and six, leading into four inch line for distributing the water about town, would give pressure of 150 pounds to the square inch at any point on Front Street-sufRciept tc throw an

Astoria Budget, 18th nlt.: .'Taken as a whole, the salmon pack of Southeast Alaska, has been far from satisfactory, says the Pacific Fisherman. While the canneries north of Wrangell Narrows had but little trouble in filling their cans they were com mpelled to do go with humpback and dog salmon, owing to the very small run of red salmon. South of Wrangell Narrows there was not only a short run of red salmon, but also of humpbacks. She run of echoes, which is not yet over in places, was small. But few king salmon are canned In this sec tion. owing to the heavy demand for them for mild curing. It is proboble that when the returns are in it will be found that the red salmon pack of this section will have dropped off more than fifty per cent, as compared with that of last year"

PORTAGE
 MOUNTAIN Minnesota Capitalists to Garry on Extensive Operations

SENTINEL is In receipt of letter from g ssockholder in the Portage Mountain Mining Co.,, from which we deduce that there ia to be some active operations op that eompany's properties at Portage Mountain in the near future-very prob ably next spring.
 We have watched the development work or theae properties with consider able interest during ths past several years, and have always been more or less hopeful of the success of the holders of the property. Any doubt that haa existed as to the merit of the properties was dismissed last summer, when some machinery was taken to the mines, and sufficient ore uncovered to prove the worth of the minss, and show them to be among the best in Southeast Alaska.
 MT. 0. A, Remington, the president of the company, euperintended last years work in person, and from his own lips we learned that be was agreeably sur prised with the outlook. We are reli- ably informed that Mir. Remington is a large property holder at Hibbing, Minn., and is 6 conservative, careful business man, thoroughly vsrsed in mining. As sociated with Mir. Remington as officers of the company are Messrs. ". c. Bar rett, yics president; B. H. Hayes, treasurer; and P. M. Bardessono, sec retary, all of whom are representative citizens of Hibbing, at which city are located the headquarters and head off. ces of the company. All of these gen. tlemen have acquired g thorough know ledge of mining in the great Masaba iron fields, and 1t is safe to say that having been accustomed to seeing mining oper- ations carried on on large scale, will be competent to assure the profitable working of whatever operations they may attempt on their Alaskan mines.
 The impression formed from reading the letter mentioned in the opening paragraph is that the company will put in large amount of modern mining machinery, and as MT. Remington look ed over the ground and found ample facilities for building trans, securing waterpower. etc, the machinery will be operated to it's full capacity. It is also probable that better wharf and a large number of huildinga will be put up on the waters edge in Portage Bay, and if Q good sized mining town is soon found at that point, we shall not be surprised.
 The properties of the company in tbe immediate vicinity of Portage Bay com prise twenty-nine claims, in four groups All of these claims have been worked sufficiently to prove their worth, and we are told that they are all rich.
 SENTINEL has nothing but best wishes for this company, as the benefits derived from its success will be felt all through this section of Alaska.
