crazy tub that has paid for it. self over and over again and that should be in the unk heap, while competition makes fools of skip pers, and they race, take devilish chances and play tag with death, merely to gain some puny or i'm aginary advantage over a rival.
 Just as it takes two to make a quarrel, it takes two to make a collision. It used to be said of a certain Puget Sound skipper that his dignity suffered if he was expected to turn out in the least unusual manner for pass ing craft, and often he risked his ship and cargo to save his pride, finally losing all three, as might have been expected. A good rule in driving is to give the other fcl- low all the room he needs and then some, and that would seem 10 be a good rule at sea.

THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.

The question or incorporating Valdez with the reservation in- a.uded in the municipality is a most important undertaking to both citizens of Valdez and those residing in the non-incorpOrated portion of Inc community. The interests of both arc identical. What is good for one is an equal benefit to the other: an injury tO one section is equally felt by the other; in fact tho division is merely political one, as is best "Xrmpliticd in the fact that Val deg has no poSloilicc, that insti- tuition being without the town limits. Jurors and witnesses, as wcH-as litigantS. arc cited to ap- pear in the district court at Val drZ. where no government off rial of whatever branch of the service. has an office in Valdez. Even tn" passengers who land her" from the steamers first set foot upon the preservation without inc corporate limits. This is inc political side of il. but in actu- Ility We arc one. Should fire break out west nf Reservation avenue the department is not one whit slower in responding io inc alarm than were Ihr.ciIy proper in jeopardy.
 Jln If nI, 1I appraised at S3O. .n0O or more. and should the reservation voters de- eide i0 come info inc new mu- nicipality they will share ill thcsc HSS"iS.

It hardly seems possible that

It hardly seems possible that any political convention in Alas ka would favor sending delegates to a national convention who would vote for the nomination of Teddy. For he is the man who first tied up the resources of this country. But the Valdez conven- tion on the 29th is likely to make the mistake of giving him a con- testing delegation, so that he can boast to the country of the high favor with which he is regarded by Alaskans, even though they be but a handful.--Cordova Alaskan.
