department mas lJ m TOT tue buSS or else somethin' would have been said about the new Westinghouse motor that we got to run the press es with. Why, its a big one and the new one which was put onto the Merg looks like a sewing machine motor compared to it. If Asks or Harrfsons wash their windows, the pub. mgr. would come tearing into the editors sanctum and want a column wrote about it. Shucks, be- fore we moved into our new building on Fifth avenoO the whole place was washed. and a lot of newHwindows put in so that it is a dandy bright newspaper dump.
 I'll betcher another dime that if NIT. Decoosa. who begun the Daily Alaskan way back in the goldrush days was to come along now. he wouldn't know the paper For morn 2& years the people of Skag- way has been refreshed with the outside noos and tEs present boss is handing it out better all the time. lots of people says Skagway does not warrant a tri-week.y paper, but the boss says hes going to give it to rnem a while longer because he has faith in Skagway coming back, and you can just betcher life 1t will come back. Maybe not like when Mir
 Dcsooca was here, but the boss thinks that it will ,e a good steady little town. and that's the reason he baugnt the old cable office for home for the priuJin' office.
 The more l think of it the more I'm sure that the pub. man. must nave a grouch on about the boss. rt cant be that he don't get his wag- as. for l saw the boss hand it to him. but he has something in for the hos. Why didn't be mention the biz clean dust proof stock room that the boss has built is. the back of the print shop. The shelves are wider han a lower berth m the Spokane, and if they wereu so long, they would make you think of the berths
 n a stateroom. corered with their white paper which makes you think rf the white spreads on the beds. Then there is other shelves that has .raer kinds of paper and stock. and his makes you thirk of the colored blankets on the beI,hs. If you had 10 mack in the wool that was burn ad un in the old dlmp. you'd know
 what g snap it is now in the new place. for it don't take half the wood. and lots of times we have to open the doors, it gets so hot. You fas nat I'm right when say the nuh man. has jt in for the boss. or he'd of sad something about the big new Merg which sets more type now than the make up man can get into the four pages. Why don't the nnh. man. take out some of the ads ro make room for the rest of the vne what the operator sets up? Guess if he did, then the boss wouldn't pay him, and he sure world have a grOucn.
 Gosh. I gotta idce. I'm going to hit the boss for a raise. My work keeps ucttin' harder en harder. Why have to send papers to Italy now. Think of 1t. And France and Lon don Next thing I'll be having to send a paper to the BOlsheviks in Warsaw. If get that raise I'll take my best girl to the Pop. Picture Palace twice a week. That shows good one.
 Ngr's. Note.-F!nding the above notes on my desk, | am forcibly re minded of my shortcoming, It Is true we have moved to our new quarters and have said little or nothing beyond the mere notice of moving. Few people who have talk en the time to look into a print shop realize how many things are needed there. You come to the office, or der a set of calling cards, noting the style of type from one to ten, or so, which are shown you, and make your selection, another comes and wants a folder, or large billboard sign. He makes bis selection Of tyne and is assured of satisfaction, another calls and desires a book printed or some extra special job work done, blanks, legal papers, wedding announcements, Christmas or other greetings. Its all here and it can all be done here in the best form and is being done here, with out noise or commouon. Our new quarters are compact, but comfort
