CAUTION TO CAMPERS.

Care should be taken by campers who are out in Che hills and up the valleys to eNuuguisb all camp fires before leaving ae spot where they have had one burning.

NOT SAFE TO SWAP" NOW.

Delegate lyIehegsdam has entered a progesJ-aaying not much else to do, and uue hanging heavily on his hands. since Barney Goss took to Jae law.
 Anyway. the Deegate says there are number of reasons why the shuttle should not be made and the P. O. b. sadlIcd with another bur den. As usual tue Delegate is pro Hx. There is but one paramount, aIl- sufficient overwhelming reason why the deorepit Fosto-ftee Department should not be permitted to play horse with the Alaska telegraph ser vice. And that is because tbe Post office Department is so halt, lame and blind, 50 utterly incompetent in methods of management that in less than ninety days 1t would have for gotten whether it was operating tel egraphic lines Ln Alaska, or running rural free delivery routes in Iowa or Oklahoma The Pos,office Depar- ment in its management of the Alas ka mail service, has shown the cras- sest ignorance and indifference and the grossest inelucie1cy. It is pur, blind and suffering from ueurastbeD- ia and other ancient and modern ills. It is a tory of the tories. In its in- efficiency it is as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, Progress it knows not It is a one hoss political shay that, unlike the good, old wagon, won't break down completely. It needs rebuilding.
 And yet the Pos,offjce Department should be the logical director of teIe- graphs. if it were eOmpetently man. aged. Like departments of Euro pean countries direct their telegraph systems. But in America politics and lack of progressiyeness, have been permitted to impair the eff cieucy of the Postoffce Department And this is the sole, but sufficient. reason why the War Department should continue to control and direct Alaska telegraphs, until such time

Then the speaker went on TO say
that in the book in which the re-
cording angel writes down the deeds
done In the flesh. among the
names OF those who have been faith
full to the trusts God has imposed
upon them to my mind one OF the

Samuel W. Somerville, our faith
full. consecrated, self-sacrificing and
successful friend and superintendent
of the Home and School. This has
brought us here. bound together by
so many sweet and tender ties. How
could we have lived through so
many days of anxiety, sorrow and
poverty had It not been for his
unceasing care OF us and our father
less children?
He has not spared himself nor
ever failed to do all in his power
to comfort and aid anyone Of us and
his prayers and labors have been
blessed of the God of the widow
and orphans and been the means OF
keeping alive this little institution
for the past twelve years.
How we have loved him and his
dear family and how 1t grieyes us
to know that he no longer has the
control of the Home and School /
know how his heart longs for its
continued prosperity and | am con
fident you will all join me in invok-
ing our Fathers richest blessing on
him and his family at this time OF
perplexity and change.
At the close of these words a
beautiful and tender prayer was
offered for this beloved man and
his work. in which every heart join
ed. for Mr.. Somerville is honored
and loved by those who knew him
best, whether or not they are con-
nected with the Home and School.
