CLEAN UP IS WATCHWORD

Wrangell is not the only town
which is soon to observe a Clean
up Day. Stroller White in his
inimitable way announces the
Douglas cleanup as follows:
Now is the winter of our dis
content made-the reader prob
ably knows the rest of it. Any
way, when this part of the coun-
try was locked in the embrace of
Old Bory there was some excuse
for dumping ashes and tin cans
any place to get rid of them. But
now that winters gloom has been
dispelled by gladstone spring,
there is no excuse for those Win
ter ashes and tin cans being per-
mitted to repose in all their often
siyeness where they were dumped
last winter. So said the city
council Monday night, and May
Is was designated as the date
when all debris that is offensive
to the eye, repellent to the nos
trils and Objectionable to the re
fined sensibilities must be rele-
gated to obscurity-cleared away
and made as though it had not
been.

DOCKS ARE WRECKED
And Boats Tossed Onto Bank
As Ice Breaks in Yukon

DAWSON, May 13-The ice in
the Yukon moved at 9:45 Satur-
day morning and more damage
was done than in any recent
year. The clock connected with
the flag set in the ice in the
middle of the river failed to stop
ghen the ice broke and as only
unofficial time is available for de-
aermining the hour of the break
mp, the betters are in a dilemma
rs to how to settle their bets.
Bets are made in pools of sixty,
zach man betting on the minute
when the ice will move. ltseems
impossible to decide at just what
moment the motion started.
The wharf of the Northern
Light company was broken
down, the face of the White Pass
wharf was damaged and it is in
danger of caving. A huge river
barge was driven under the Nor
1hern Navigation company's
wharf, knocking down row of
piles. Later the barge crushed
through the walls of the Nor
thern Commercial heating plant
stopping with it's edge against
the bat .eEy of large boilers. The
water rose so rapidly that the
boiler fires were drawn.
Piling was swept from under
The Northern Navigation wharf,
allowing forty feet Of the struc-
tHre to collapse. A number of
Sarges and small boats were
hurled high up on the river bank
and left there.
After the first movement in
ahe morning the ice damned
again, then broke at 2:3O and
E,mmed again for time. Late
Saturday night it was moving

now started to spawn and are
unfit for canning. The plant was
started up on February 10, since
which time 2, 100 cases have. been
packed. The promoters of the
enterprise are we'll satisfied with
results so far, stating that the
entire pack has been sold and
that there is good demand for
more. The canning of clans will
start again September l. In the
meantime the plant will be oper-
ated as a salmon cannery, a one

ALAYEksA OR ALASKA.

The name Alaska is an En- glish corruption or perversion of Alayeksa, as it was called by the aboriginal inhabitants of the Aleutian islands, lying to the westward.
 When the Russian first came to one of the Aleptian islands they were told that vast coun- try lay to the eastward and that it's name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts called their own island Nagun Aleyeksa, meaning the land lying near Alayeksa. By a process of Russianizing and An glicizing Alayeksa became Alas ka, and Nagun Alayeksa became Unalaska.
 The original Aleutian word Alayeksa meant "the great coun- try" as the inhabitants of scat tered islands would naturally consider a vast continental re gian of varied resources and be- autiful scenery as Alayeksa or Alaska has since proved to be.

SMOKING IN CHURCH.

Smoking in church is 8 Dutch custom. Dutchmen are such in veterate smokers that rarely is one of them seen without pipe. He finds himself unable to de prive himself of the indulgence, even for the short period of a church service. A similar prac- tice exists in several churches in South America.
 The practice is said to have been prevalent in Great Britain at the beginning of the seven teenth century. At one time smoking was carried to such an excess in Seville cathedral that the chapter applied to the pope for power to repress the abuse.
 Ia Wales smoking in church was indulged in as late as 1850. In one church the communion table stood in the aisle, and the farmers were in the babit of putting their hats upon it, and when the service began they lighted their pipes and smoked, without any thought of irrever- ence in the act.

 CHICAGO, March 7.-Serious short age of seed corn throughout Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin had a bullish influence today on the corn market. Prices closed firm, with future deliveries Is net higher at s1.277s for March and -$1.27ss for May. Oats gained & to A and pro- visions : to 25 cents.
 That much acreage might have to be abandoned as a result of the lack of seed operated from the outset as a handicap on the bears in corn. Besides there was increased rural complaint of a lack of cars, and ir was said the country had twenty bushels of corn to ship for every bushel of car space offered. The fact that primary receipts showed a de- cided falling off in qu antity as com- pared with a week ago tended further to strengthen the market. March delivery rose to the maxi mum price allowed, SIPS a bushel, and May ascended to new high level for the season.
 Provisions ascended with the help of liberal exports. Notice was also taken of an unexpected shrinkage in the immediate available supply of hogs.
 Corn: March s1.27B; May s1.27ss. Oats: March 921sc; May soc.
