The weather for the past week has been perfectly natural for spring tiue in Alaska. April showers bring May flowers kind of weather. But anyway, yesterday was the eth of March and nothing happened. It was in March that the terrible explosion took place at the Mexican; and the following March the town of Douglas was almost wiped off the map by fire; and the next year in March a prominent citizen of the town shot aud killed both bis wife and himself. But that was early in the month, before St. Patrick's day, SO after the big annual dance each year by the A. c. Club, Douglas begins to feel kind of easy and safe. Anyway, the winter was very mild, and each time the Taku wind tried to blow it became warmer. Many people now firmly believe that the Japan current has shifted, but Jim Christoe says that it's the Taku wind that has shifted. But it makes DO diff ference to us; only we are glad it was that way and happy that spring is here, and the grass is showing green aud the birds are singing in the trees, and Joe Robertson has quit wearing that funny old cap, and spring politics is in the air, aud the Eagles are planning a big May Carnival to be held at the Nat, and the people that don't like good whisky are starting in to fight the sa looms, when most of them are just about to die a natural death for the want of patronage, and the school house is leaking again and will need new roof this summer So the winter is over and gone and the gentle spring is bere. but don't throw away your mitteus yet

Hark From the Tomb

aHark from the tomb, a doleful sound" One, Roosevelt, has emerged from oblivion to suggest that the gov- ernment should hasten public works, such as the building of Alaskan rail- ways. Simultaneously The Outlook, of New York, publishes an article on the red tape aud bureaucratic methods which have held Alaska back. As Roosevelt is personally and directly re- sponsible for the stagnation in Alaska and the Outlook was one of the papers undertaking the country, even to the extent of sending a correspondent to Alaska and then refusing to publish his articles because they treated Alaska fairly-it is indeed ludicrous to see this expert politician and the publication crawling into the band wagon and shouting for Alaska. The Northern territory can get along very we'll with out either Roosevelt or The Outlook, and as Pinchot, Glavis and other eDe- mics of Alaska have been lost in the square deal now being given to the territory, SO Roosevelt aud The Out look can best be forgotten.-Railway and Marine News.

Penmanship in the School


 In view of the fact that the board of education of Douglas has officially adopted the Wesco System of Penman- ship for permanent use in the school system, few words relative to the authorship and general plan of the system may be of interest to the patrons of the school. Mir. Wesco, the author, is at the present time supervisor of penmanship of the public schools of Portland, Oregon, and the Behnke- Walker Business College of that city. He has been recognized for years as the worlds greatest penman, and the fol- lowing extract taken from his treatise on the practice of writing best illus. trates the general plan of the system:
 "Much time and energy is wasted in the practice of writing, by many, in a vain attempt to cultivate a style through the medium of copy, and the faculty of imitation, without thought given to the power of understanding. With the mental feature eliminated from the effort, little remains to stim- ulate the inclination, hence the folly of effort, without knowledge of the process. As will be noticed from the contents of this treatise on penman- ship, each and every part of the copies presented is prepared in such manner, that the individual undertaking the work of practice may have a workable understanding of all that is to be done"
 The progress that is being made by students in all schools where the system is now being used is evidence of it's merits, and the interest which pupils are showing in a system of penmanship which has as it's fundamental principle an intelligent application of the forces used in writing. It is my intention to direct each and every student under my supervision carefully through the practice of each and every copy laid out in the Wesco system SO that he or she will have no difficulty in carrying on the practice which, if properly ap- piled, cannot help but prove successful to the operator. In order to do this it is necessary for the parents to provide their children, those who are enrolled from the fourth grade up, with text book. may also state that this book is not to be changed as the pupil ad vances from grade to grade and that it contains a thorough course and is Go be used as long as the pupil remains in school
 very much appreciate the many en couragiug comments upon the progress

The Dispatch says there is growing sentiment in Juneau in favor of cutting Alaska in two parts and making the coast section a state and the interior a territory. The first drawback to this scheme would be shortage of popula- lation. But maybe congress would fix it up in some way, seeing that body was SO kind as to virtually amend the or ganic act in an effort to make it con form to the incompeut work of the First Territorial legislature.-Peters- burg Weekly Report

1t WAS invited last year to tho

Of California, however, wero insis-

THINKING.
st. Helena Echo,

st. Helena Echo,
Few mon really think, although
each would deny the accusation.
Although man is supposed to DO q
rational thinking animal, thinking
is actually the hardest work and
the rarest he does. We hear
thing, ordinarily. aud immediately
form au opinion about it. Usual
ly self-interest is at the bottom of
our conclusions. We arc told, for
instance, that woman suffrage is q
good thing and We ought to have
a law allowing them to vote. Do
we look into the matter? Do We
study tho arguments for aud
against woman suffrage? 1t is
the same with the tariff, the
unions, the Mexican situation, the
European war, in fact everything
we have anything to do with. How
much more rational it would be to
hold up our judgment on a quss-
ton until ws have had an oppor-
tunity to study it from every angle,
and then form an opinion, and
stand or fall by that opinion, until
we learn something of which we
have been in ignorance that might
change our mind on the subject.
Not to be open to conviction is to
be pig headed. Norrownsss is
the bane of our whole system of
civilization. Lot your mind be
open to argument, and think
think for yourself.
