BIG SHIPMENT OF GUNS

To see the guns and anu milton which came in recently for A. E, Walker & Co. one might infer that preparations were being made by that cor pany for an immediate invasion of the whole mongolian race or less. Of course the above is a trifle exravagant. The facts are that the shipment cost over sev en hundred and Walker X Co. have some excellent shooting irons. It Is said to be the lar gest single shipment of guns and ammunition that ever came to Ketchikan.

LONG LOOKED FOR
 mcoRDOVHu ARRIVES

The new freighter "Cordova" of the Alaska Steamship Go. arrived in Kctchikan Saturday. This is the first trip nito the north, having just rounded the Horn in a trip which took near ly , months from Philadelphia The fact that the Cordova reached Seattle in such splen- did condition after such a long run that 1t was unnecessary to make any extensive repairs speaks we'll for the boat and for her Captain, Fred Warren and crew. Capt. Warner is an experienced man, three years ago having brought the steamer St. CrOiX out from the Atlantic.
 One feature of the CordOva's s voyage from the Atlantic is worthy of attention and that is she carried sufficient fuel oil when she left Philadelphia to steam to Taltal, Chile, a dis tance of 0,700 miles.
 The Cordova was built by Harlan & Hollingsworth, Will mington, Del, for both passen gers and freight. Her dimen- sions are: length 25I feet over

THE WOES OF THE EDITOR

The editor is of but few days, but they are exceedingly long.
 He stretheth his credit to the breaking point 10 buy new outfit and straightway his best advertiser discontinueth. His friends expect him to do their work for half price and his en- emies taketh their work to the other man. His creditors de- luge him with duns while his creditors give him the merry Ha Ha! He sweareth, as it were great drops of blood to get out a readable issue, and if he leaves out a letter or has one. upside down. the roaring of a lion will not compare with what he heareth. Verify his brain is as pi, and his thoughts gre as hard to collect as bills. He writeth a why obituary of q deceased citizen, and sendeth out a dozen extra copies to friends of the departed, and forthwith every relative of the deceased stopPeth the paper. If he sendeth his paper d while after the subscription expires lie is trying to force il on the people and if he discontinues it they believe that he is afraid to trust them.
 If he attends church it is In order to cover up some of his meaness, and if he does not, he lis a hoodlum and blackleg. If he taketh stand on some moral question, he is trying to curry favor with the church people, and if he does not he is too cowardly to express his sentiments.
 If he runneth for office he may get in by the skin of his teeth. and henceforth receive ithe cussings of the multitude for the rest of his natural life.
 He puffeth his advertisers for long weary months, and when out of the property of his language he maketh a state ment capable of misconstruct- ion. his soul is made sick with their abuse.
 Of a truth, if he keepeth his body from the potter's field and his family from the poorhouse he must be wise as Solomon, as meek as Moses, as brave as Daniel and as patient as Job.
 If he inducth one of his ad- vertisers to credit him for I"Glad Rags" and goeth forth arfayed as the ''lilies of the field' he is "stuck up. and if he weareth his ancient apparel he is too "slovenly" to suc- cecd.
 He exercises the elasticity of his conscience to write up a wedding, and the brides father comes in to borrow Q paper to find out what he has 70 say, but forgetteth to subscribe. He burneth the midnight oil that the orldw may become en- frightened, and consoleth hin self with the thought that "joy cometh in the morning'-E
