BECAUSE HE WAS ONTO HIS
JOB.

The sequel to last weeks poemO
(W. III. DugdaIe.)
In a neat little. shop in fastgrowing
Worked printer named William l..
Ray;
He worked at the business and mas
tered the trade,
And stuck to the case every day;
He Ilabored both early and late at his
work,
He wore nice gold watch and fob,
When printer was needed they always
called Will
Because he was onto his job.
The shop was not very pretentious in
looks,
The furnishings not very grand:
But goods in the trade to do a good job;
He always had plenty ON hand.
He bought his material from a good
house
And set up his copies with care;
Because he was wise and was onto his
job
Was the reason that Bill got his share.
A merchant came into his Office one day
And said, 'I have something to do,
l tried other printers and they failed on
the work,
So put the whole thing up to you.
hear you are certainly onto your job,
/ will know when this contract is
through;
| Get busy and finish as quick az you can,
And your money is ready when due.
So Will took the order and started the
Put the man at the case to test,
And made such improvements in doing
the work
That for neatneSs were surely the best.
The type were all new and were proper
/ ly set,
The lines were all run by bob;
He Showed both discretion and iudg-
ment in this
Because he was onto his job.
The paper and ink were the best to be
had,
The lines and the spaces were true;
The Job was all done in a workmanlike
way,
AS competent printer will do.
The commas were placed where they
really belonged,
The printing was all in line;
When the JOB was completed it looked
up-tO-date,
And the merchant told Will it was fine.
He called for his money according to
plan '
When the job was completed and
tried;
To pay for such work was pleasure in
deed,
And payment will not be denied.
He cheerfuIly paid Will the price that he
asked,
You are onto your job for fact;
Ambition and knowledge are sure to
succeed
If man has courage to act.
Just think for yourself, are you onto your
job,
Do you read of improvements that's
made,
Are you onto the details that lead to sue
-. cess, ..... 49,. .--.
Are you getting the BEST in the trade Z
Get busy, my boy, and get onto your
job,
SideStep the incompetent mob,
And find the professional end of the
game
And prove you are onto your job.

ANOTHER ELECTION AND MORE COMM

Tn less than a week from today, we shall be cal led upon to cast our votes again. The result or the election of four months ago has not yet been decided. still we must again be tormented with another trouble maker. An election is nothing if not trouble breeder. Petty fights are made in which oftentimes only jealousy is concerned If next Tuesdays election was the end of ouE trouble for onasyaar it wouldn't be SC bad; bur just think. less than thirty days from that date another election shall take place in which ever member of our community is more or less interes- ted. We have reference to the municipal elec5- ion when three eouncinen, the mayor and two members of the school board shall be chosen. The little annoyances, the result of last year election are still in our minds, yet we must face the same opposition again. Really, we are al most tempted to suggest the adoption of form of commission for our municipal government.
 A community like ours could have manage paid reasonable salary who could attend Io al the buying, etc., with two business men as aa advisory board, and the affairs of the town would be conducted on the same principle as private business, or corporation and that would end all this bother and expenses of election and picker ing.
 Anyhow, it might be well to ask our le&isla-

THE SENATOR IS RIGHT.

Senator Sulzer is right; we should help our selves and not wait until some one comes and help us What he meant by the expression was that we should advertise our part of the coun- try and not wait on others to do so. It may surprise some, but it cannot be denied that Seat tie, for instance, advertises our country much more than we do. It is true that the Spirit city derives much benefit fro mcommerce of Alaska yet the development of our resources would at- feet us directly whereas, Seattle can only be af- fected indirectly.
 The Senator has the right idea when he says we should have building for the exclusive pur- pose of exhibiting our various minerals, garden truck, fruits, grain, fish, timber, marble, dairy produce and all of that which the country can produce. With building containing such dis play some sort of literature should be provided with short explanations such as the description of each mine their location, etc, etc. Places ot interest should be mentioned such as the hatch cries, the hot springs and other places With such display and literature, our part of the coun- try would attract attention. Results---more vis- itors; more settlers; more development and more progress for all of us.

The war cloud that was only partially visible few weeks ago, is getting darker and darker as ths time passes A magnifying glass is not nece5~ sary to see danger ahead, because it furnlshes it's own headlight. However, there seems to be nothing to do but wait and hope for the best.
