VINCENT T. DORTERO.

MT. Dortero was born in Astor- ia, Oregon, July 2S, 1894, and is therefore at this writing in his twentieth year. When Ee was six years old he came to Skagway with his father, and has resided here almost continuously ever since. He is a graduate of the Skagway pub lie schools.

 After leaving school Vincent went back to his birth place and for a year and a half w2s employed in the Astoria branch mercantile eS- tablishment of Lipman, Wolfe & Co. of Portland, Oregon, during which time he became so much en- unused with that character of work that he quit the employment of that firm and returEing to Skagway induced his father, Tony DorterO, to

NON-PARTISAH
 PARTY TICKET

The Fourth street hall of the Skagway fire department was crowd ed llst night at S:SO o'clock, the hour set for the cOnyening of the Non Partisan Union party nomonatA ing convention for the selection of the candidates for the town eoun- cu and one school clerk. A notice able feature of the earlier part of the proceedings was the evident lack of proper organization, but after a short delay W. R. Hillery called the meeting to order and said that the election of a chairman would be the first matter to be attended to. Mir. Hi&ery himself was the unanimous choice for that posi- ton, while Phil Abrahams was placed by exclamation in the sec retary's chair.
 MT. HiIlery in a short address stated that the object for which the meeting had been called. He said that the platform upon which the Non Partisan Union party was willing to go before the people ask ing for their support was justice to all and to work for the good of Skagway generally; that the candidates to be placed in nonlin- ation would be uupleigd but that the voters of the town could rely up- on them for an economical and business like administration.
 The chairman then said that nominations for councilmen was in order. Upon suggestion of Geo. MowI that it would be a good idea for some Of the ladies to address he meeting, the chairman called upon Mrs. LeFevre for a few re- marks, in response to which that lady said that the only desire of the women voters of Skagway was To eIact ae0uneiImsa whose motives in seeking a place on the board could not be impugned, and that so far as she was personally con- cerued she was willing to leave the nominating of a ticket entirely in the hands of the men. Mrs. pr. l.. $. Killer was also called upon and in fOrcible, witty and unmis- takable language outlined her con ceptiCu of the privileges conferred upon voters by the Australian bal lot system.
 Further calls being made upon The ladies, but with no response, the nomination of candidates was proceeded with and resulted in the names of the following citizens be- ing placed on the ticket

mouths Of million serpents. Rocks

danced. There was the thunder OF Ia
Dor. The night shift was In full
swing.
And the woman. glancing from the

perfection, the wonder of his man.

that bind me. He Is his own master,
while am slave--the slave OF a

At that moment the laborer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, TO glance into the
motor as it sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her. To know lels-
sure and wealth and rest! To be free
from drudgery and toll, to come and
go as | pleased! To throw of the
chains of debt and worry, and have
the days and nights stretch ahead OF
me like field Of flow ers!"
But in another instant the motor
was gone. The torchlights flared
brighter than ever. And each had
forgotten the other.-Judge.
