Love and Friendship

Love IS like the wild rose briar;
Friendship like the holly tree.
The holly is dark when the rose brfaE
blooms,
But which will bloom most con-

The wild rose briar is sweet in spring,
It's summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild briar fair?
Then scorn the silly rose wreath now
And deck thee with the holly's sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He still may leave thy garland green.

When names acquired baptismally

That life had any pain.

The name Pacific is full of prom ises for the future, for it calls to mind the fact that a new era in the history of mankind has begun. For more cen turies than We can determine the great ocean, lying between America and Asia was unfurrowed by the keels of commerce. It was in very truth a waste of water. The storms of winter yexed DO argosies laden with aud ven- turers or the products of industry; the summer breezes waited no ships to their destination. Silence unbroken, it may have been since the day when the waters were first gathered together, lay upon it. Even after few courageous nayigators has ven- tured across it's vast distance it gave no promise of future importance in the affairs of the world, and when William H. Steward, defending the purchase of Alaska declared that tine greatest achievements of man would be on the greatest of oceans, most peo- pie thought it only figure of speech employed to excuse bad bargain
 But we known better now, although the realization Of the prophecy is being brought about by causes which the great statesman who uttered it, did
 not anticipate. Today assisting in the opening ceremonies nf the Exposition, are representatives of Japan that wonderful nation which has reached
 the front rank in military and naval prowess with gigantic strides, aud is rapidly advancing to corresponding position in commerce and industry. At the time the exposition was opened Japanese Steamship line, in cooper ation with great American railway company, was about to be inaugurated.

Alaska Salmon
 Must be Athletic

The. fish industry is one of the most profitable in Alaska and should he iostered and everything done to help our salmon fulfill their destiny by helping them to get up the creek here and all creeks of southern Alaska dur ing the running season which is near at hand.
 The fish mmissioner and his assist ants endeavored to fix Ketchikan creek last year so that the fish could get up without going through death struggle to do so. Though the inten- ,ion was without doubt audable, when the creek was thought to be fixed no fish ever succeeded in getting above 5he falls unless he had perfect phy sique and great muscular power to start with then one might get above the falls by making the struggle of his life, but thousands of his fellows aad to remain below and die without accomplishing their mission, and their ,arcases drift out to sea again while some remained to perfume the ball grounds.
 But to come down to business the United States is making enough out )f the fish of Alaska to provide bet ter way for the fish to get up Ketchi <an river and all other so-called sal mon streams in this district.
 The cabinet committee intend to nelp the fish by providing a natural aquarium in the pool above the first falls if the electric company will mmerse large light in said pool so that the miriads of salmon may be seen by the tourists and checacoes and thus save the Ananias club the exer- tion of telling lots of fish stories to the gullible.
 Now salmon is somewhat similar o a steam propeller, he must have enough depth of water to work his wheel in. It would be about as reason ible to expect steamer to make head way against tidal wave with her propellor out of water, as to expect salmon to get up Ketchikan creek in it's present condition. The fish must have his wheel under water, as well IS the steamboat. We think our delegate at Washington could devote few hours to this fish question, which might result in having irst class fish ladder put in the creek before the run of salmon commences this summer this might be done without q petition but if petition is necessary it will be forthcoming in few hours after the notification. We must protect oui resources from wanton destruction, and those who are the most interested should not be slow to represent mat ters in their proper light to tho authorities at Washington.
