WHY NOT BUILD A HOMEa

WHY NOI BUILD A HOMEF
 There are people in Alaska who ex- pect to round out the years here, who intend to stay until they embark for the New Jerusalem. There area people who love this rugged wilderness, and her white winter wastes of snow. There are people who love Alaska who know they love her, and there are people who love her who do not know it. There are people who intend to go out, never to return-they go out, but they come back-to round out. the years T "
 There never was frontier to which men as 8 rule came to. X, make their homes, and to live and die. Even to. that California, to which so many Douglas people plan to move some day, the early settlers came and lived for years with the intention of going back East-some time. California was once a forbidding place--stshell with the fire put out ',S--a tourist said of South ern California less than fifty years ago. And yet California is beautiful spot, now beloved by thousands upon thous ands who call California "home.'
 Some day Alaska will be beloved mot by the few, as now, but by thous ands who will call Alaska "home. Y Alaska will be home to generations of sons and daughters, who will feel pity for the sons and daughters of the countries to the south, where the eli mate pampers it's inhabitants.
 In the meantime, the vast majority of the citizens of Douglas intend to re- main here for few years, and make a stake and then move to the south. But while you live here, why not build a good house7
 Numbers of people who have come to Douglas for a few years only, have Quilt house, and none of them have ever failed to sell it at a good profit con the investment, beside saving the rents they would otherwise nave paid. There is not workingman in Douglas or Treadwell who cannot afford to build a home, if he plans, for it, and there is every reason why. he should.

 OF less of which formerly furnished the Alaskans with much amusement, although it worked unnecessary hard ships, has been much improved through his recommendations. Provision for the destitute in Alaska is about to be made through his efforts. Besides these, this busy governof has worked unceasingly for the opening or the coal lands to development, for government aids for railroad, construction, for con tinued appropriations for wagon roads and trails, for modification of the laws relating to salmon ahatcheries, to the end that the fisheries may be more full ly protected, laws regulating santa tion and the public health, to the reg istration of vital statistics, for com pulsory school attendance and for re- Jeff of destitution among the white in habitants. Much, indeed, IS yet to be accomplished for this hitherto neglect ed country. The need for law for the registration of vital statistics is an instance of an apparently very small piece of legislation very badly needed. There is at least one instance where young girl lost an inheritance through the failure to prove birth by records.
 What ths governor has obtained for Alaska has been through the% admin istration Unlike the districts dele% gate he lacks the power of initiating legislation. Incidentiy, however, it may be remarked in passing that dur ing the two years that Governor Clark has been in office, the delegate has ob- tained but two pieces of legislation for the territory--a labor lien law which has been denounced by the miners be- cause it compelled the miner to look to the dump for his security, and pre- vented him from recovering upon the property itself, and bill providing for the erection of an insane detention station, as yet unavailable because the measure failed to provide for the pur- chase of site.
 The difference in the bulk of the mail which comes to the governor office since it has ceased to be sinecure and became an important function makes profound impression on the postmaster The volume of it is many times greater.
 The people of Alaska hope that Gov ernor Clark will remain in office for long time yet. Received two years ago with lack of interest if not actual distrust, the friendship for him throughout the district is we'll nigh universal The people of Alaska real ize that he is hardworking, con sciencious servant and that he has done yeoman service for their long neglect ed cause.

D. S. Ross Dies Suddenly.

Mr.. D. S. Ross of Cascilla died very
suddenly at the home of his grandson,
Mr.. Chester Brown, in this city last
Friday at about 1890 O'Clock, in the
S5th year of his age.
He reached Grenada only few hours
before in company with Mr.. L. l. Rice,
seemingly we'll and hearty. When the
summons came, the dissolution was
quickly over. In many respects it was
a beautiful setting of an eventful life.
Had he been called upon to select a
place to look for the last time upon the
scenes of this world, it is s3safe to say.
that outside the sacred precin.ls of his
own home, he would have chosen the
place where the death angel found
him.
Mr. Ross had led busy life. He
rad endured many of the hardships
common to the period of his youths-
His Maker blessed him with mary
wears, and when the record was summed
up and the accounts We're balanced, the
|
'Well done. Enter thou into the joys
of thv Lord" For many years he had
been a member of the Baptist church,.
and while he had sometimes wavered in
his devotions, yet his face was ever set
towards the gates of the celestial city,
and it can be truly said that he leaned
upon the promises of Risen Lord.
MANY times has the writer heard him
discourse upon the goodness of God
and the bestowal of His rich blessings
upon him. 1t was Mr.. Ross's aim to
do good, to perform the beneficent act,
to do the kindly thing. His house was
ever open to his friends, upon whom he
lavished his best. He wrought well
and will be sadly missed in his commu-
nifty.
The funeral services were conducted
by his lifelong friend and pastor, Rev.
]. D. Rice, at the family residence in
Cascilla last Saturday, who most beau
tifully and touchingly portrayed the
life and character of the departed.
The remains were laid to rest in the
old Ashland church burying ground,
with Masonic ceremonies, which was
participated in by Masons both from
Grenada and Charleston.
To the bereft wife and other sor-
rowing ones the Sentinel tenders sin
cere sympathy.

Hon. S. A. Morrison seeks another
term as representative in the lower
house of the state Legislature from
this county Mr.. Morrison has been
one of the leaders in the Legislature
ever since his entrance. When the
present legislature was organized, he
was made chairman of the committee
on appropriations, and in many re-
spects he absolutely dominated legisla-
ton. He made a determined fight
against extravagant appropriations
and undoubtedly saved many thousands
of dollars to the state treasury. He
fortified himself with facts and figures
and when his position was assailed by
any other legislator, Mr.. Morrison
went after his assailant with voracity
that startled and with determination
that knew nothing except to win. He
has been assiduous in his efforts t.
thoroughly understand the states needs
and if again chosen, the people ma!
expect him to persist in the same pol

JUDGE R0ANE CALLED
To Run for FlOater. A Very
Great Compliment from
His Fellow Citizens.

The following call upon Judge A. I.
last week, but reached this office too
late for insertion. The Sentinel is ad-
vised that but little effort was made to
secure signatures and that out of per
haps two hundred citizens approached,
less than half dozen refused.
Whatever the Judge may decide to
do, he can but feel proud of this re-
newed manifestation of the confidence,
esteem and appreciation of his fellow
citizens:
"We, the undersigned citizens and
county, realizing the eminent fitness
and distinguished ability of Judge A.
T. Roane for almost any public trust;
and that this is time in the history of
our commonwealth when wise counsel
and patriotic service are needed in the
legislative halls of the state, earnestly
insist that he become candidate for
Floater Representative between Gren-
ada and Montgomery counties. We are
aware that the Judge is already rich
with political honors and that he is in
no sense a seeker of office, yet there
is demand for just such services as he
alone can render, and he will place his
name among the states immortas by
accepting what we believe vast ma
: jority of his fellow citizens would be
more than delighted to thrust upon
him.

In Memoriam

On January 26, 1911, there passed to
the beyond an old and honored citizen
of Grenada county that did his best as
a Confederate soldier and as a private
citizen. He led an unostentatious life,
but it was his desire to deal justly, to
live uprightly and to measure his fel-
low-man by the christians standard.
He was 70 years old and had been a
resident Of this vicinity since boyhood.
He was member Of the Baptist
church. He is survived by number
of grown children. His remains were
buried at Pine Grove church, Yalobusha
county. A Friend.
