Skagway had an attempted mur!d Ter and suicide few days ago, but it has been so long since anything of that nature occurred there that they are out of practice and the result was that neither of the attempts were success ful. The fire of jealousy fed by the fluid extract of rye caused one man to attempt the life of another and of him. self. Jealousy and rye make bad com bination, therefore, jealous man should keep away from Skagwag, for what pleasure is it for man to visit that town and conform to the social amenities of life which add to the gaiety of nations if he is on the water wagon.-W Whitehorse Star.
 4 growth of scented fern-as yet un' known to botanists, according to re- port made by J. H. Rengstorf-has been found in the Kobuk valley, and pressed leaves of the peculiar plant have been collected by him and will be sent east for examination this winter. The fern was first reported to be grow inr in the Kobuk valley last year, and at that time Rengstorf, who has made a study of botany, became interested in the report Going north on the Corwin early this summer he found the scented fern growing there in abundance and became more impressed with them. The pressed ferns are very fragrant and Rengstorf says that they are far sweeter in odor when the weather is very cold. Besides the scented fern, Rengstorff found wild roses, Alaska poppy, sweet peas, ex-eye, daisies, lichens, cowslip and scented thornless thistle.

Praise for Judge Lyons

Yesterdays News. Miner contained series of editorials from the newspapers of Southeastern Alaska. Those edi- torials were not printed with any other reason than to show our readers the style of the editorial work of those papers, so that the said readers could form an opinion as to whether the ed. itors of those papers deserved to be in- dicted by the Juneau grand jury, as they have been. It is altogether prob able that the general opinion in Tanana is today that those editors have gone crazy with the heat of their own per sonality, and that the grand jury did perfectly right in considering their case.
 One of the editorials was simply few lines of scurrility directed at Judge Lyons. It was really too rotten to print here. If it describes the kind of treatment Judge Lyons has to expect from his home papers, it would seem to us that he should be content to remain here in Tanana giving him the honor able consideration his work here merits. In case he should learn to ap- preciate our people as they appreciate him, and should wish to remain here as resident judge it is cinch that every man in Tanana would do his best to bring that condition to successful issue.
 In the meantime, we can tell the newspapers of Southeastern Alaska that they will be unable to find a reader in Tanana who will take the word of those papers in anything detri- mental to Judge Lyons.-Fairbanks News-Miner.

 The partisans of Wm. H. Seward have finally succeeded in placing a monu ment to that statesman on the grounds of the A.-Y.-P. B. to honor him for what Andrew Johnson accomplished in the purchase of Alaska. These partisans, blinded by prejudice, are doing violence to history, in attempting to give the honor due President Johnson to an- other man.-Northwes Mining Jour nal.
 Commenting on the coal shortage at Cordova, which has seriously inter- rupted railroad operations, an eX. change remarks: This is the situation of affairs in an Alaskan town which lies within easy reach of a coal field containing coal of better quality than can be purchased elsewhere on this coast. It is hardly to be wondered that the chamber of commerce of Cor dova is urging congress to pass laws which will allow Alaska to mine her vast coal resources.
 A discovery which will be of interest to the antiquarian and geologist, says the Valdez Prospector, was number of caves found by Louis Hinckel, in the Elliott creek country during the past summer. While hunting noun tain sheep at the head of Deception creek, Hinckel found a series of caves in the limestone just above where the contact of the limestone and the green stone occurs. The caves are twelve in number and at an altitude of about 5000 feet. The two longest of the caves are 137 and 200 feet respectively. In the longer of these two caves, which has the appearance of being the head quarters of large band of mountain sheep, Hinckel found two ancient hunt ing spears and quantity of wood.
