The price as quoted is, twenty five cents per or one buck rabbit. Captain . Jack says that, owing to the rush of going to press he didn't have time to hustle a proof reader, but he advertises for one and wants him to "come a-runnin,,' and with his hat, coat and vest off so that there will be no lost motion getting into action. He also ad- vertises or a Klootch, one afflict- eH with rheumatism, to watch the beans. His first editorial and some of the news items follow:
 Dear Judge, be merciful. This is our first offense, or perhaps better say attempt, at having anything to do with either type or press. If our readers knew the conditions under which this little infant paper was born they would be surprised.
 We have been asked by friends to roast those whom they dislike. This we decline to do.
 Quite a little business around town these days We sold a post card photo the other day, and went right straight down town and blew in the money, but we have always been a spendthrift, so whats the use.
 Miss Frankie Hall, from Chis- ana, called at the studio and pur- chased a seneca roll film kodak with corrected "anastigmat' lens just about the best thing made in the kodak line for Alaska Miss Hall has that northern spirit--Alaskans want the best. e Messrs. James, Johnson, Mel son and Stanley, the Chisana op- orators, are moving the largest outfit over the trail that has ever 3 been undertaken in these parts, and everything appears to move along like clockwork. A clear case of brawn and years of ex- .perience in the north. The James party is so we'll known in Alaska that comments are unnecessary. We noticed crepe dangling from some of our bachelors cabin doors a few days ago, and, on inquiry, found that the Chicken left town; went to Cordova to have tooth pulled, all waste of time and money. Our marshal has pulled everything from a Yukon sled to a bootlegger, and -s why not the tooth. IL IS the 1narshal's duty to preserve the peace and happiness of our citi, zens, and when said tooth be- came obstreperous he should have at once caused an arrest and stopped this money leakage Cordovaward. After those tooth carpenters get through with this ! ,,corpse'y" looking molar they E may permit the Chicken to bring ! t home with her, and turn same over to the marshal, to be dealt with according to law.
