Murphy had been in the employ of the mining company for about two weeks, after spending the winter prospecting in the Salcha country.

A local phenomenon has been ap- parent the last few days upon the waters of Resurrection Bay, says the Seward Gateway. At least seamen have considered it very unusual and have thus far failed to account for it. 4 heavy gound swell tossed the steamers Alaska, the Redondo, Starr, Unalga, Evans and Surveyor about like corks, yet outside on the Gulf beautiful weather prevailed, and also at Seward. Local mariners were al- most unanimous in believing the ground swell was caused by subter- ranean earthquakes, for it was re called that Cordova was rocked by a heavy earthquake & few days ago.

By the Pleasant Road of Praise.
By JESSIE L. JACKSON

By the time she was sixteen she had made three complete sets of undergarments, two dresses and many other things. She had learned to sew and had been har- py through it all. Waft,' and Mrs. Kingsland hastened into the house
 These tell the story,' she said as she came back breathless, a book in her hand. Her brother took these pictures for me. Here she is in her first apron. See, her age is written beneath"
 What a sweet little dear!"
 Here She is wearing the dresses she made before she was sixteen. And here" Mrs. Kings lands eyes glowed, "here is a picture of the machine her father gave her on her sixteenth birth day. 1 remember she threw her arms around his neck and cried, she was so happy. She has that same machine in her own home now"
 "Oh, wish I had tried some such way,"' cried Mrs. Matthews. TT wonder whether I could make it work now."
 "Of course you could. Begin with those very things on the line. Iron them yourself. Tell her you thought she'd worked hard enough. Then praise some of those she did. I'm sure so4e of them must be all right
 They are.'' Mrs. Matthews face quivered.
 Now, my dear, my whole meth od was this: I didn't ask for per fection, and praised when could. When couldn't, I remem. bered that she was just a little girl preparing herself to do the hardest, but also the nobiest work In the world, and I encouraged, Praise and encouragement will carry one far toward perfection and you yourself say that my Mar. garet is perfect housekeeper She is. She keeps her little home in charming condition. Her three children are clean and sweet and lwell-behaved; she herself is cheer full and in good health, and she finds little time to keep up her music and painting. Just praise nothing else. You so home and 1 try it."
 T willard thank you" There were tears in Mrs. Matthews' eyes lbut her voice was full of hope.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-05-12

Mrs. Kingsland looked up with smile as Mrs Matthews, worried of face, came around the corner of the house. Suspecting the cause of the frowns, she asked as she placed a chair, ''How's Dorothys ironing coming along?"
 "Oh, dear!" .groaned Mrs. Mat thews, "I made her rinse the things out and hang them on the line again. Now she's in her room crying. I don't know what to do. She's been six weeks doing a little sewing-had to rip two garments and do them over" Well, we'll, poor child! She's had a hard time from start to finish. Maybe you're too particu lar, my dear."N Mrs. Kingland's kind old face was fairly tremul ous in her desire to attack her neighbours methods and yet give no offence.
 "I am particular. I want her to be superior in every way" But one must remember. you will agree, that superiority in a child is very different from su periority in you or me-" "Yes, but-the essentials! Look at your Margaret! You trained her. l wish you'd give me your method.'
 "Yes. l taught her the essen tials. l also taught her what the essentials are-two very different things"
 "I don't"
 That is, l painstakingly taught her what to slight and how to slight it."
 Mrs. Matthews gasped, "You taught her to slight"
 "Yes, to slight the non-essen tials. You asked for my meth ody
 "Yes, begin with sewing"
 Almost from babyhood, Mar garet wanted to run the sewing machine"
 "So did Dorothy; but, of course hand-sewing comes first
 I didn't insist upon it witt Margaret. When she was twelve I let her make an apron. I cui 1t out and showed her how t( run the machine. That was aii except that when she asked fol help, l gave it, and made thu buttonholes. The result wasn' the superior work you insist up Ion; but I was we'll pleased"

large crowds in from the States. anxious to look for the talked of gold.
 In 1897, Mr. Valentine. al- ready a long time resident of 1 Alaska, went to Skagway just after authentic news of the Klon- dike strike come out and when | thousands of eager men and @omen were pouring to Skagway on their way to the scene C the rich strikes.
 Interesting Experiences
 When l landed in Skagway there were over five thousand men milling about. living in tents and shacks. eating up their provisions, wondering how they were to go farther" MT yalen- tine said. That was one of many interesting experiences I have had in this country
 4 meeting was organized to discuss ways and means of open ing LID a trail over the pass. MT. Valentine was chosen chairman and treasurer and manager of the lrowd that organized to do the work He opened an office in .orner of one of the many saloons and proceeded to do the job. Two camps were opened under his di- reetion, one for miners and one for timber workers. He sent out party to estimate the cost of the work of opening the White Pass. It reported that $3600 would be necessary and MT. Val entine collected the money which was eagerly given by the rest less crowd. The pass was opened and the thousands got through on their way to the land of gold.
 During the time that he was interested in Skagway, he visited Juneau frequently, to oversee the work of his store that had been kept open. Finally he returned to Juneau permanently, and has since centered his interests here.
 "Those early days were won derful." Mir. Valentine said rem iniscently. The people looked little rough, perhaps, in their miners clothes, but they were fine and honest. And the government bv tho hoard of nl1blic safety re- ceived the most perfect co-opera- ticn 1 have ever seen on the part of the people. The only govern ment officials we lad then were "a Deputy Marshal, United States Commissioner and De- putty Collector of Customs, as Sitka, was the capital. We hard ly needed that meager force."

 Forgot Cellar Door
 His mother had sent him to the basement to get a brush. In his haste to respond, Billy had neg. lected to close the cellar door. A few minutes later when the sound of the fall had died away the mo- ther's fears were realized. Jimmy had tried 70 go down the stairs on his "kiddrs kar"

His sta tion is thirty miles north of Wrangell.

FATHER IN ALASKA, BABY KILLED, FALL;
 HE GRIEVES ALONE
Seattle Times)

While a bereaved father was marooned on lonely Point Ward in Alaska, a Ballard mother today was making funeral plans for their son who yesterday was a jolly little lad looking forward to his first birthday anniversary week away.
 The chatter of a tiny "kiddy kar" on the basement steps at the home of Mrs. John c. Mitchell, S023 18th Ave. N. w., yesterday sounded the note of tragedy in the home. A telegram broke the news to the father.
 'It's Jimmy" the mother had cried as a stiffness instead of the customary whimper followed the crash. She hastened to the base ment and picked up the lads life less form. A doctor who was summoned at once said that Jim my had died instantly of skull fracture.

 First Glimpse Of Juneau
 The little eager eyed group of people standing on the deck of the steamer Idaho, as it ap- preached Juneau in 1886, saw a little town, facing the water made up of the cabins and shacks Of miners, MT. Valentine said. The town, CT camp, as it was not incorporated for many years after that, had a pepula- tion of about 400, made up most ly of miners who had answered the call of the north and had come to the Territory to verify or dissipate the tales of fabulous wealth in gold they had heard in the States.
 The people of Juneau at that time were nearly all miners, pros pecting or placer mining in Sil- yer Bow Basin. The Treadwell Mine was already operating and the occasional boats brought

VALENTINE HAS

Anniversary of Arrft a
 Here of We'll Known AL aska Pioneer Citizen

It was just AZ years ago today that Emery Valentine arrived in Juneau on the old s. g. Idaho, long since out of commission. He came here from Butte. Mont, to satisfy a long possessed desire to see Alaska, and he has remained to take an active and colorful part in the history of Juneau and the Territory.
 Purchasing from Joe Juneau property on Front Street where F. Wolland's tailor shop now stands, he erected the very build ing now occupied by MT. Vol land, and opened a jewelry shop and store and assay office. His store at that time had an un- interrupted view of the Channel as there were no buildings on the opposite side cf the street.
 Mir. Valentine has had a jew elry store in Juneau continuous ly since that time, becoming larger as Juneau has grown. He prospeeted, as did everyone, for d number of year and spent consid- erable time and money on a claim four miles this side of Point Bishop near point which was then referred to as "Valen- tine Point"
 
 For five years he served as chairman of the board of public safety. body having five mem- bers, which took the place of the City Council before Juneau was Incorporated. Since incorporation MT.
