Piazza delle Fontane Morose is the
RaIace della Kasa, a fifteenth-century
structure. originally the Palazo Spi-
hoia. where dwelt the oldest Genoese
family. From the plaza extend the Via

may be seen in superb fullness.

Today, as you stand near Genoa's
long piers, you may see great ship
from that western land OF Columbus
slowly steam in from the open sea.
There will be cheer from home-come
Genoese; there will be the scurrying
Of many little boats about the lordly
steamer, with the flowers and the
fruits Of Italy's soil; there will be the
gay lifting of mandolins and the songs
Of sweet-voiced maidens; and the sun
will be shining and the water dancing
and the sky blue, SO blue. with never
cloud large as baby's hand upon
its lovely face. And II friend walks
down the spacious pier you will greet
him right gladly. and take him away
to the cool of some palace Inn high
up among the shadows Of the olive and
the pomegranate, and bid him speak
Of ships and seas and the loving days
at home But If no one comes you
will still stand near the seas and look
upon the friendly smiling OF strange
faces from the westland, and be happy
in their joy and glad in the benedic-
ton that will fall upon them from the
bounty Of their fair Italian skies.

 A. B. CAMP

Judging from the discussion lcarG a rousing Juneau camp of the Arc tic Brotherhood will be organized at the meeting called for this evening in the Alaskan hotel parlors at s o'clock.
 All the members of the Arctic Brotherhood located in or near Ju- neau are invited to be present
 In nearly every city of Alaska there are camps of this organization which is more nearly representative of life in the NorJhIand than any other organization.
 The traditions and spirit of the Northland is breatbed by the camps of the Arctic Brotherhood, and aside from this fact, they have been and will continue to be important factors in the industrial development of AIaska.-Juneau Dispatch, June

ICE DAMAGE
 AT HELLGATE

Steamboat men who came down on the last boats report that the ice ruined the ietties and carried out the filling and other improve mculs at the heads of the draws at Hellgatc, and the river there is spread as of old, over a wide stretch with the water running through var iOUs channels.
 The Canadian sounded and found a little over four feet of water in the deepest place. At this rate, it is claimed, Hellgate will be almost dry in the low season, and probably for much of the year the boats will be hung up there.
 The steamboat men say some thing should be done to fill the draws with a dredge or otherwise, else Dawson may see all the old steamboat troubles of the past this season.-DawsOn News.

 IS LAUNCHED

Odessa, June 9-The third stage in Russia's ambitious naval pro- gram for the Black Sea was cou- cluded recently with the successful launching of the Dreaduaught EAas- terina II at the Nikolaicfr navy yard.
 The two dreadnaughts already launched, and soon to go into com mission, are the Empress Maria and the Alexander III. The fourth, the Ivan-the Terrible, is to be laid down on the ways vacated by the Ekasterma II. The six dcstroycus and the six submarines iuclud- ed in the new program, have al- ready been completed, and two armOred cruisers are building There is also being constructed one of the largest floating docks in the world. capable of carrying a vessel of 4u.- GOO tons. It will cost $2,0oo,oHu.
 Notwithstanding this form.dahl force, naval experts say that Turkey would have a decided advantage on the Black sea in the event of a war between the two countries. as the Russian dreadnaughts are Go ho armed with only 12-iuch guns, as against guns of l3-inch and 15-inch. respectively on the two battle cruisers recently acquired by the Turkish government, one from Brazil and the other now completing in England. The longer range Of the Turkish guns would, it is be- lieyed more than counter balance the greater aggregate tonnage and arameut of the new Russian craft

NE.DE'S BODY
 IS RECOVERED

The Dawson News of recent date says the body of Hankk Weide, who was drowned while coming down the White river in company with Nor man Nacualay last week, was found about a mile below where the acci- dent occurred.
 lTr. Johnson, @ prospector from Beaver creek, found the body on May 23, and took it to Donjek, where t was buried May 24.
 The body was badly mutilated by ice and snags.
 Mir. Johnson is enroute to Dawson by small boat, and is bringing per sonaI effects belonging to Weide.
 The men were coming down stream with boat trailing a canoe. The ice below Snag glaciered oyer so that when the river: thawed it left shelves of ice on either side, The boat was upset by the swift watcr,. and the men were spilled so they got on the projecting ice. MacuaIay remained there until res cued, but Weide, it is understood, undertook to recover the canoe, and was lost in the attempt.

TOURIST L5UNGH Is BADLY NEEDED

A launch for the accommodation of tourists who desire to make short trips to places of interest in the im- mediate vicinity of Skagway is one of the crying needs just now. Yes terday there was a party of eight wh hunted the water front over for some means of making the trip oyer to Burro creek, but were unable to find 8 craft of any description to convey them across. We understood several weeks ago that George Black was going to engage in this busi- ness and had already bought and was fitting up a boat for the Dur- pose. but for some reason the scheme has not materialized.
 If Mir Black is going to take up this work this season it appears to us that it is time for him to be getting things in shape to handle it properly, otherwise, steps should be taken by the commercial club to get someone else to take the matter up. and this should be looked after immediately.

CONDITIONS 0N
 PE--I RIVER

lL P. Berrigan, who wintered near Ross river, on the Pelly, last winter, says the Dawson News, is in the
 city, and gives an interesting sketch
 of conditions there. He says;
 "Ou Lappie river, which enters the Pcuy ten miles below Ross river, coarse gold has been found
 in considerable quantities, but not enough to pay by shOveling in,
 Men made $2 a day shoveling in on lhe bars who found it first, just after the Klondike was discover ed. and who are still in the country.
 At Uoole canyon 23 miles above the Ross post, l have banned both at the head and foot of the can you. and though the water was high ] got coarse gold in every pan and never got a skunk That was three years ago, when l was at the head of the Pelly, the left branch ot which is called Woodside river Or Broad river among the natives, although it is practically the main PeUy as it is the longest branch.
 "Thcre is much Iron in evidence. We could pick it up in many places and in some places there were lodges cutting across the river a couple of feet in thickness.
 Big Devil canyon is three miles long and is l5O miles from Uoo.c Here we have to portage, as We have to do also at Hoole canyon, though We lined our boat through it empty. This is a great moose coun- try anl there are many liczs which are visited in summer. Soda springs are plentiful near the head of the river. and one does not need baking powder 10 bake bannOcks once he sets to one of these springs. There are many fine looking creeks where .nere are no signs of anything having been done in the way of. prospecting, save for an occasional old Indian ax mark. Here it is all u coarse gray wash intermingled with broken quartz and schist, but tae ground is thawed. The deepest ! got O" one creek was seven feet ... wurer coming in. On many creek una oau see the rim cropping up which goes Go show that it would no. log difficult to prospect, there @..ue good fall, by running a bedrock ditch.
 uut one las to be there with his crtu. il summer timo for that and ]. Is aot much use for two men to go there with less than a two years outfit, as it takes time to prospect. and there is some pretty sritt water besides the canyons, the forks where we stayed 50 miles above Devils canyon, each for lin ing about 25 miles long. There are two good trading posts at Ross now and one can get things at reason able prices. The Indians come ever to trade from the Mackenzie and Lizard rivers. The Hudson's Bay company, at Fort Norman, charged them 50 cents for a tea cupful of sugar; the same for tea. A Yukon stove is S25; the same for an SX10 tent. A black fox is S2O0, the best kind; and a silver gray $l0i while a marteu, it matters not what quality, Is $5. The company has a set price on everything that does not change. I have this from the Indians themselves, some of wHom came over this spring in March and returned. Many are reported coming

MAIL CHRISTMAS
 PACKAGES EARLY

Placards urging patrons of the par eel post department of the postoffice to mail their parcels early for Christ mas delivery have been placed in con- spicuous places around the lobby of the local office. Parcels to be opened Christmas may bear the words Not to be opened until Christmas" or a similar inscription. The name of the addressee should be written plainly, and the parcel wrapped securely. The careless practice of mailing packages a few days before the holiday in the hope that they will reach their des- tination on Christmas day is likely to defeat it's own object through unavoid- able delay due to the consequent con- gestion of the mails. The public is urged to do their Christmas mailing early.
