VALDEZ, Jan. 26. - Editor of the Seward Gateway:
 A lively little discussion between rival steamship masters finally ter minated at Valdez. On the last de- parture of the steamships Midwest em leaving Seward at two p. m., and the Admiral Evans leaving at six p. m., Jan. 25th: when the Evans reach ed La Touche the Northwestern was tied up alongside the dock. At the time a regular blizzard with heavy snow was raging The master of the Evans requested permission to make fast alongside the Northwestern until the storm abated, which permission was flatly refused by the veteran master of the Northwestern, and the Evans was compelled to lay in the stream cndangering the lives of the passengers and crew, much to the disgust of the officers of the Evans. But realizing that it is a long road that has no turn and that one good turn deserves another, they waited. The Admiral Evans arrived at Valdez about thirty minutes in advance o'

SULzER HAS A
 BILL TO ERECT INSANE ASYLUM
 IN THE NORTH

Aside from complaints that have bcen made about the treatment of in- sane patients from Alaska, data has been gathered to show that it would he q saving to the government to have them cared for Tn Alaska, and Alas kans have gone on record as favoring the plan, but so far nothing has been accomplished. The first definite step in that direction has been taken by Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, who on Jan. 4th, introduced the following bill in the house:
 A BILL making an appropriatIon for the establishment of hospital for the care and custody of the legally adjudged insane of Alaska, providing for the selection of the site thereof, and for other purposes:
 Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem- bled; That the sum of $200,000 be, and the same hereby, appropriated, to be paid out of any money m the treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the purchase of site for and the con struction and equipment of hospital for the care and custody of the legally admdped insane persons of Alaska.
 Sec. 2. - That the secretary of the interior is authorized, and is hereby directed, to appoint commission of three persons all of whom Shal have expert knowledge of the care and treatment of insane persons, to select a suitable site in Alaska for said hos oital. The secretary of the interior shall fix the compensation of said commissioners, which, together with their necessary travelling expense,

 The Northwestern bravely steamed up alongside and requested to make fast 70 the Evans, but this time it was Capt. J. C. Hunter vs Captain Cha. 4. Glasscock, and at the end of a few lively quotations that probably could not be found in any Bible, the veteran master of the Northwestern found himsclf at a disadvantage and was compelled to lay out in the stream for over three hours with blue streakS emitting from the pilot house toward the younger master. But just at that lime German submarine would have thrown TO fear in the latter.
 Wh'ie the passengers for the North western Shivered around the dock those on board the Evans were anus ed at the disgusted look on the older master at taking a dose of his own medicine.

 Sec. 3. - That the secretary Of the treasury is herby authorized to pur- chase said site, at cost not to eX- ceed $1O,0OO, and enter into contract for the completion and equipment O. said building within the limit of cost herein provided.
 Sec. 4. - That the secretary of the interior is hereby authorized, upon the completion of said hospital to transfer the legally adjudged insane of Alaska thereto ard provide rcgda- tions for their care therein until sach time as the legislature of the territory of Alaska, or congress may provide otherwise.

contrast with the rest of the period.
which are days of sadness and peni-
tence, the New Year day has always
been observed among the Jews as
day of solemn JOY and happiness. 1t
is called in the Bible the DAY of
Memorial and to the Jew it marks
the recording of the deeds of the
past year for judgment-a judgment
which is, however, suspended until
after the day of atonement when
through true repentance and sincere
contrition the sins of the past may
be blotted out and new opportunity
afforded to live life of purity and
usefulness.
1t is also called the DAY of the
Blowing of the Trumpet" and around
this ceremony-the blowing of the
Shofar or rams horn-the service of
the day revolves. The rams horn is
supposed to refer to the salvation Of
Isaac and the substitution of a ram
in his place when Abraham was
about to Stay him in his wrong I'M
derstanding of Gods demand for a
sacrifice. Genesis xxii.)
AS is the case with all Jewish holy
days, the observance begins at the
preceding shutdown, Friday, and. in
the orthodox synagogs lasts until sun
down Sunday-two days being OBJ
served in place of one as is the Gus
tom in the reform synagog.
