SUCCESS IN "I CAN"

The boy who says he can't is prob ably right. To think failure is to act it. Success or failure depends on the spinal column. Those who have backbones succeed those who have wishbones fail. A backbone means the determination to pound your paw on the table and say Il will" A back bone means jaw set teeth gritted and fist clenched. It means the strength to laugh at obstacles.
 The word obstacle is found only in the lexicon of the weak. In the path of the strong obstacles are stepping stones. Don't say you can't earn more money; don't say you can't do anything. Columbus didn't say he could not do anything; Fulton didn't say it; Edison didn't say it. Do you know what have said Il can't" Do

KEEP AWAY FROM ANCHORAGE.

Lieut.. Mears advises that there are plenty of laborers at Anchorage to meet the requirements of the Con- mission, and advises people who are seeking employment to stay away. This will have the effect, probably, of restraining a number of Alaskans from wasting their money in steam ship fares to that place, but it will have little effect upon the foreigners who are f1ocking there from the states many of whom cannot read or speak the English language. There are al- ready at the new railroad town more laborers than are required, but the rush there still continues from the states, every steamer being loaded with men who will seek employment there. Most of these will be disap- pointed, and as has always been the case in similar circumstances, this fall some one will have to pay their fares back to the States.
 If there are any in Valdez who con- template going to Anchorage for the purpose of securing employment, it would be a very wise proceeding to secure the employment before start ing, or else remain here. Any man Tn Valdez who wishes to work will undoubtedly be offered an opportun- ity within short time, as the demand for men in the mines this summer promises to be greater than the sup ply.

FIRST DELEGATE. ] E.
 REGA|NS' FORTUNE
STRIKES IT RICH AT MARSHALL.
In the Face of Discourageing Odds Frank Waskey makes Fight to Re- gain Fortune in the North and Succeeds.

Frank Waskey strikes it rich at Marshall City, near Holy Cross Mis- sion. Ground runs six dollars to the square foot. Will take out big for tune this summer. Already has sev- eral thousand buckets of pay gravel on the surface" says J. J. Underwood in the Seattle Times of April 26.
 Such is the brief news dispatch re- ceived here today from Fairbanks that epitomize a romance of gold hunting in the Far North; the story of mans determination to retrieve iron. the wilderness the fortune he sacrificed in behalf of the territory; a talk of patient toll and abiding faith and ~fortitude manifested in the face of.almost unbelievable hardships and suffering. r : Frank H. Waskey was Alaska's first delegate to Congress. He had made a fortune at Nome, and expend- ed more than $15O,000 in four months at the National Capital in an effort to induce congress to pass bill granting territorial government to Alaska. He went to Nome in 1900 and by 1906 had acquired comfort able fortune. At the time Waskey left Nome for Washington he had 3 number of claims on the celebrated third beach line-the richest deposit of placer gold ever found in the entire north. .''. - Congress, on threat of movement to secede to Canada, received from in dignant citizens of Southwestern Alaska, had hurredly recognized that "taxation without representation" was against the best principles of Americanism and had passed law granting Alaska sdelegate to Con- gross. Alaska then, as now, was a mining country, and chose two min CTS to represent it-Frank H. Was key for the short term and Tom Gale, Fairbanks prospector, for the long term. Both were democrats.
 Waskey was an ardent believer in territorial government, and to obtain the passage of a territorial bill he spent money freely, but unsuccess- fully. The bill was introduced, but died in the committee. The delegate returned to find the beach line claims ltied m in litigation, some of which

has not yet been settled. The law yers grew rich, but Waskey had to take a reef in the rubber band around his bankroll.
 With about $200,00o he began a tunnel on Iron Creek. He had al- ready expended an immense sum in buying up the claims on the creek Just as he began to wash the gravel through the ground sluice on the bot tom of the tunnel the roof collapsed and it was impossible to repair it.
 Broken in fortune Waskey disap- peared into the wilderness and was not heard of until four years later when he reached Good News Bay, near the mouth of the Kuskokwim River, where a gold strike of poor ouality was made. Waskey deter mined to install a plant to work the ground on large scale, and was re- turning from Nome in schooner with the equipment when the vessel capsized in a storm. For three days and three nights Waskey and some of his companions clung to the over turned vessel and finally they were washed ashore on a big tide-flat.
 They began to walk toward the beach and soon discovered that they were on an island that would be sub
 ok hiOh.fid0 the certainty of being drowned if they remained, they began to wade a two-mile strip of water that separated them from the mainland and fortu- nately found that it was no deeper than their waists.
 Famished and half frozen, and al- most perishing for water, the four survivors of the wreck struggled along the beach and at last found an abandoned native hut. All Of the water they had found up to that time had been salty, Waskey fig ured that the native must have had a quantity of fresh water or he would not have built his home there. In the woods back of the hut they found a spring.
 For nearly two months they lived by gathering clans and sea food on the beach. There was two feet of snow on the ground when they were were rescued and all of them were se- verely frostbitten. They were taken to St. Michael for treatment and as soon as he was we'll, Waskey disap- |peared into the wilderness again.
 He was next heard of at creek near Andreafsky, where he had dis covered another paystreak. Being a Democrat, he named the place Mar shall City in honor of Thomas Mar shall, vice-president of the United states, and 1t is here that he has found his reward.
 Waskey is known from Ketchikan to Point Barrow and has host of friends in the North who will rejoice to hear that he has again come into his own.

INVESTIGATING COLLISION ON
 NEW YORK ELEVATED ROAD
In Which One Person Was Killed and
 Fifteen Others Injured.

New York, June S.-A grand jury investigation was begun tonight into a rear-end collision this afternoon be- tween two elevated railroad trains, in which one person was killed and fif- teen others injured, some peIi1aps fa- tally. Edward Grove, the towerman on duty at the scene of the crash, has been arrested on charge of homicide. This action was taken, Coroner Flynn announced, after Grove had admitted the signals were clear for the motor man of the rear train to proceed, thus permitting it to crash into the rear of a stalled express train.
 All the injured were passengers in the first car of the local train, south bound, and it was in Nlis car that the motorman, Frank K. Kerrigan suf- fered injuries from which he died in a hospital. The express train, which also was bound downtown, carried no pas sengers.
 Flames which burst almost immedi- ately from the wreckage did not gain much headway, as firemen with lad ders soon ascended to the structure and extinguished several fires. The smoke added, however, to the panic within the train and made Ile work of rescue more difficult. The third rail also handicapped the rescuers- The in- jured were taken down ladders to am- balances rushed from nearby hospi- talS.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
 DISCUSS PEACE PLANS.
No Name Except That of Colonel
 Roosevelt Mentioned.

Chicago, June s.-The conference committees of the republican and pro- gressive conventions began discussion of peace plans at 10.40 tonight and Senator Borah, one of the republican ccnferees, predicted the session would last at least three hours.
 This was the situation as epitomized by one of the conferees after the con ference had been in session a little more than an hour:
 The utmost harmony had re5gned in the meeting.
 Republicans were impressed with the apparent desire of the progressives to effect an agreement.
 No name except that of Colonel Roosevelt had been mentioned. Pro- gressives, while showing a decided preference for Colonel Roosevelt as the nominee, did not say they would not support any other man.
 The name of Hughes had not been mentioned.
 Encouraged by the happy opening Of the conference, it was said there was a possibility that the conferees would remain in session most of the night or until they had reached some tangi- - ble agreement or complete disagree ment.
