HOW THEY DO SQUIRM.

Heartless men and women are found every where Even at political meeting. Specially when the speaker brings the record to prove his charges
 Delegate WickerSham has had many support CTS, and perhaps will continue to have some. Be that as it may, we dare say that at the end of Mir. Grigsby's speech the other night. support CTS of the arch-kicker-the Great l Am were few and far between if we can judge by their squirmng in their seats when proofs of the dele gates insincerity were so forcibly brought out There is no use of talking, anybody could see that they hated like sixty to be sh own proofs which could not be contradicted. They squirm- ed and twisted on their seats as though they were looking for comfort. But neither the speak CT nor the heartless listeners were disposed to let up until everything had been said and proven and left the hideous skeleton of the delegates record to eontemplate-and the heartless aud fence laughed while others were amazed if not dazed by the revelation. But today they feel better as they have been made to see through the wool that covered their perceptive faculty. They can see now the error of their ways.

HE IS SHORT ON MANNERS.

To go back to "Si" Tanners case in reference to his address to the Ketchikan people during which he made several remarks presumably in an attempt to convey the impression that Hon. J. R. Heckman. his opponent in the present race had neglected his constituents; or was guided by big corporations; or was the tool of some inter-
 ests at the last legislature. the least we can say is that "Si' s short on manners. For him to come here and attack a man who helped to start the town; who has lived here nearly thirty years; who is known by every man, woman and child as a big hearted man. A man who has never Jagged in support of the whole communi- ty; whose generosity to the needy is almost proverbia; who is doubly welcome anywhere; in
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-10-18

any family. We repeat that for "Si'' to come and attack that man can only be attributed to lack of manners. A proof of this lays in the fact that on a charge of having kept houses that he rented for immoral purposes, which ne called "rumor, he brazenly wants the people to believe his denial constitutes proof of the contrary proof tha' the rumor has no foundation in fact. He should know that mere denial proves nothing. If he had been possessed of manners he would have sent to his home town and obtained proof to sup port his denial. The record will show who is the owner of every piece of property within the town of Skagway. The Honorable J. M. Tanner may be honest and all that, but in our opinion he is short on manners.

WHERE SALMON BEATS GOLD.
tKansas City Star.)

The Klondike gold discovery twenty years ago still has its influence in binding many of us to the other great resources of Alaska The majority of persons who have never been to that country still think of it as buried with brief period of sunshine in the summer in which who stout and strong and brave may dash over leagues of mushy grains of gold from the frozen then back again 10 civilization.
 Alaska is still producing gold The last report of the federal bureau foreign and domestic shows that $16200000 worth came to this country last year gold digging is the greatest industry Alaska, by no means. Last year $1S,307000 worth o canned salmon s26.4SS.00O worth of copper; $760oOC worth of silver and coal by the shipload to the United States Alaska And is interesting note that Alaska has become almost selfsupportng; that is she is raising nearly all the food she eats.
