The time comes once in a while when 1t IS hard to think of something to write about editoiay Just sit down yourself Dear Reader and imagine you have fifteen minutes in which to think up something to write about and to have it ready for printer What would you write about?
 We'll. there are three great aids to the newspaper. drudge when he momentary runs out of ideas The chief aid is to look around for some official to roast Another IS to make some suggestion and another is to make more or less Aabby and hurried comments the news of the day before It would be all right if one could write any old thing but you must always keep in mind what you think the people who read the paper want you to talk of
 The first of the three aids is the most useful in some respects Pick out some official who, you think has lots of enemies and let loose on him. Everyone will read 1t and every anarchist will applaud Of course, you should never attack an official that gives you printing jobs or ad vertising That would be bad business Pick on some abomnabe mscreant that refuses to come across with the needful and never let up till he does Be careful, though that you never accuse him directly of any crime You must always keep your eye the fact that some rot ten legislature passed criminal ihel law that might put YOU behind the bars Just hint at his crookednesS Use lot of judgment There quite little distance that you may travel and still keep the right side of the pentent ary gate

ALASKA WILL SEND A
 TEAM TO RIFLE MEET

JUNEAU, Oct, 6.-Alaska will be represented by a civilian rife team at the Jacksonville rife encampment and the members of the team will leave Juneau tomorrow night on the Prince George.
 A joint meeting of the Treadwell and Thane Club members was held last night at Treadwell and fourteen men signifed their willingness to go under the regulations as laid down. The men will furnish their own sub sistence but transportation will be furnished by the government.
 It is understood by all of the men on the team that there is little chance for them to win anything in the con tests, but the experience is what they need and for that reason they are go- ing. Many of the men on the team have never fired a Springfield rifle and have never had any experience on a military range, and for that reason do not expect to be among the win ners. This is only the start and in years to come the experience gained by the men on this trip will be in valuable to future teams
 Fred V. Berger of Juneau has been chosen as the team captain, as he is an expert shot and has had years of experience on rife ranges. Tnc team consists of twelve men and will be picked from among the following; Fred V. Berger and Floyd F Gibson, of Juneau, K. K. Duum, Huga Auder- son. w. J. Anderson, l.. J. Higley, A. R. Edwards. O. c. Allen, George Swarva, and William Christensen of Treadwel; F. NJ. Jardiue, W. Nelson, James Serrott and Colviu of Thane.-- Empire

Alaska is certainly place where more tragedies oc- cur than in any other place earth of equal population Within very short space of time the railroad district has been the scene of murder public street the suicide of husband and wife the drowning of man from dock and several lesser tragedies. Another terrible tragedy came to light yesterday and they have been coming to
 ght since the first rush to Dawson But this is not the fault of the people of Alaska where the standard of morals is as good as anywhere earth is probably due to the nomadc life the changes of ocaton the unsettled condi ton of mind and the lack of home life in proportion to the population.
