WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT lrr

Juneau papers talk about federal building and how slow the government architect is and all that ;and that reminds us of the fact that afe not saying much about a federal building for Ketchikan Could it be possible that Ketchikan is the only community where the people fail realize the necessity of such build ing? Fairbanks, Seward, Cordova, Juneau and other towns art talking federal building" necessarily. Yet, Eetchikan, of the most prosperous of them all, one of the most important towns in Alaskasis not saving boo Rut we need wonder the spirit of s'iet well enough alone" is such to compel silent obedience.
 This lack of interest must be strongly impressed on anybodys mind when read that all the rest of Alaska is being widely advertised through the dis rlays made at the San Francisco exposition. The im

Puhi cations deroted to mining mention part of the territory but Ketchikan, when Ketchikan is far a. head in actual production of mineral than most of Al aska.
 It looks though we feared to mention the num- Der of mines that being worked profitaby in our vicinity Mines that produce much more than others that we know of, still mentioned. Mod esty is to be encouraged, but in fear that is modesty of place. And of course, if are modest advertise resources. too modest to beg for a fedral building.

CARELESSNESS
tFrom the Ohio State Journal)

(From the Ohio State Journal
 The postmaster at Chicago says 43 per cent, of the mail handled that postoffice is improperly address ed. and it costs Ss5000 month to look up the ad- dresses and correct mistakes. From these figures one would conclude that careessness is a national sin and 9 costly one, too.
 Carelessness is of the symtoms of character, also of mental efficiency; and indicates weak char acter and a dull mind Think of 43 per cent, care Iessness in directing letters. We might argue that much carlessness when fails do what he promises, negects to pay debt, return book. All these forms of careessness go make up national character, which Is probably 43 per cent, off.
 It does that education should attend to this fault and try make it less than it Is. Knowl- edge, arithmetic and parsing won't do The only way to train away from careessness is to stiffen up the impulse and intuitive qualities. in the Golden Rule will help a good deal. Keeping company with true personality will assist powerfully

Walker, has received positive orders to do all he in the premises and u at all the necessary expenses would be paid.
 Well, it's nothing but right that the government should pay for it's negligence. Along tn eAlaska ceast, it seems to though the government should have protection in the way of life saving stations here and there, with fast power boats to travel with. W ardens, Fish Commissioners and Deputy Marshals and other government officials could be the alert to render assistance in of need and by doing many lives and great deal of property could be ed every year. thus reducing the actual in lives and property to insignificant quantity.

RATHER QUIT GAME THAN

CY YOUNG. a shortstop who stood
third in batting in the Michigan
State league last season, is going to
give up baseball rather than leave the
town of Cadillac, Mich.
Cy hit for .4o6 last season and led
all the shortstops in his league. AT
the end of the, season he was sold to
the Kansas City club of the Amer
lean association. liberal contract
was mailed to him. and as Cy is not
yet twenty years old all the ma
tives OF Cadillac predicted that he
would make a. name for himself IN the
national game.
Imagine the disappointment of DR..
Sair c.. Moore. president of the Cadil@

from Young in which the player said:
