COL. BLETHEN ANGRY AT NEWS.

Colonel Blethen, owner of the Seattle Times, has personally written letter to the NEWS calling us down for not send ing him the paper. He requests that we immediately do so and send him the bill as he wants to pay for the YUKON VALLEY NEWS.
 His first letter did not reach us, which accounts for our apparent neglect of the distinguished publishers request.
 The colonel evidently desires to keep posted on Panama, which, as everybody knows, is the coming metropolis of the interior. He realizes its importance as a distributing center, and knows that the Times readers will be interested in news from here.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Christmas, with its joys and sorrows, it's hopes and regrets, is again at hand.
 Joyful are the young and light hearted, their enthusiasm injecting even the aged and the sick. In sorrow are those with whom fate has dealt unkindly the past year, tearing from them their dear ones or darkening their lives with sick ness and misfortune.
 Hopeful are the strong and successful, pausing merely in their struggle for further achievement to join in the fes- tivities and drink the spirit of the season.
 Filled with regrets are they who have let another year slip by with nothing more accomplished, with the goal still beyond their grasp.
 Christmas this year is of more than usual significance to Panama. It marks another milepost on the trail to prosper ity, besides the forging of another link in that bond of sympathy and brotherly love taught by the Savior.
 The celebration at the A. B. hall Christmas eve will stand as a blazed rock commemorating the obliteration of the strife and differences which have re- tarded the progress of the town in the past. With all gathered together-the young and the old, rich and poor, suc- cessful and unsuccessful-it will be an event pregnant with results.
 Christmas is the time when mems thoughts are lifted from the common place of self; when they rise to heights of pity for those who toll and do not reap,-tears for the imprisoned and des- pised, ,-love for the generous dead, and in the heart the rapture of high resolve. "When they rise from ambition, with it's lust of pelf and place and power, longing to put from their breasts dis tinction's worthless badge.
 "When keener thoughts of men arise, and eyes see beyond the smiling mask of craft. Flattered no more by the obse- quious cringe of gain and greed. Know ing the uselessness of hoarded gold, of honor bought from those who charge the usury of self-respect; of power that only bends towards knees, and forces from his lips of fear the lies of praise.
 Knowing at last the unstudied ges- ture of esteem, the sincere eyes made rich witL honest thought, and holding high above all other things-high as Hopes great throbbing star above the dead-the love of wife and child and friend"

Mary Phares Of Clinton, whose cam

contribute more than ten cents to this
memorial to the author Of 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" and every person
who thus invests a dime becomes a
member of the Francis Scott Key
Memorial association.
In the meantime, the officers of the
Memorial association have on their
own responsibility, leased the Key
mansion; have restored it in so far
as possible with limited expenditure,
and have opened it to the public free
of charge. The renovation and restora-
ton Of this long-neglected mansion
was indeed herculean task In the
basement an accumulation of dirt and
debris more than three feet in depth
had to be excavated ere the quaint
old, brick-paved floor was exposed to
view. The half-dozen fireplaces in the
mansion had all been bricked up and
their reopening was no easy task. AS
it stands today the Key mansion is, of
course, unfinished. but the artistic
colonial stairways, the picturesque
open fireplaces, massive doorways and
other old-fashioned architectural de.
tails are objects of much interest to
the numerous sightseers who now
visit it.
1t is the intention that after the
mansion shall have been fully restored
it shall be made memorial museum,
in which will be gathered relics of all
kinds bearing upon the personality
and career Of Francis Scott Key, in
Guiding, of course, all his personal be-
longings that can be obtained. Assur-
ances have been received of the dona-
ton Of many such treasures, and it is
expected that a Boston family will

The average reader may deem it in.
congruous to class this century-old
Key mansion as a new" scene of Flag
Day exercises, but such it Is in fact,
for until short time ago this one
time home of the poet-patriot was
wholly neglected, not only on Flag
Day but at all other times. Indeed,
the author of our greatest patriotic
song has been singularly sighted in
comparison to the tangible testimo-
malls bestowed upon other American

and other high officials Of the govern

gled Banner" as our national anthem
for all time number of prominent
men, including Admiral Dewey and
Admiral Schley, took the initiative to
provide some fitting permanent me-
mortal to the man to whom the whole
nation owes a debt of gratitude.
The prime movers in this labor of
love were unanimous in the opinion
that there could be devised no more
fitting tribute than the utilization as
a memorial museum Of the house in
which Key lived when he wrote "The
Star-Spangled Banner" The idea is
the same which has been so success
fully carried out in the case of Mount
Vernon, the home of George Washing
ton; Andrew Jackson's home in Ten
nessee; the Lincoln home in Illinois,
etc., and which it is now proposed
shall be followed in the case of Monti-
cello, the home of Thomas Jefferson,
