EDITORIAL PAGE
COMING INTO ITS OWN
That Alaska is coming into its I
own as a summer resort for tour- J
ists is fully proven by the business
lu that liue done by the transpor- :
tat ion companies of both the Am-1
ericaii and Canadian steamship -
lines running betweeu Skagway and
Seattle and the cities of Vancouver
and Victoria, all of which
?re on the travel route of the fa-i
mouj Inside Passage. That the
terri'or*- will eventually come into i
its own as a laud where the hus
bai dman may plant his crops and be
assured of an abundant and profit
able harvest has been demonstrated
during the past four years by the
Skagway horticultural and agricul
tural fair, wherein have annually
been displayed during that time
exhibits of vegetables in almost all
tne varieties that are grown in
the temperate zone as well as
berries of many kinds that are
indigenous to the soil, but which,
however, have a ranker growth and
are far more prolific when the cul
tivated v: rieties are planted and
receive the proper care.
Th?re have been more people
■who are distinguished throughout
the length and breadth of the land
for their learning, literary attain
ments and wealth, who have visit
ed AViska during the past sea
son than ever before known in the
same length of time, and among
them wtrtr both men and women
whoie lite work is the diffusion of
k*onr!?(]ge through the channels of
i:f>wsj,npers and magazines to the
roadiiig public of the world and by
which the resources of the terri
tory will become more thoroughly
(.".•own within the next twelve
months than during all the previous
years that have elapsed since Al
aska became an American posses
sion.
Many of these people who came
north, more out of curiosity than
from other motives to see what they
had be»n led to imagine, and had
alwa/s mentally visualized as a
land of eternal ice and snow, have
tiecjt astounded at their own ignor
ance when they came to know of
the true condition of things and
have been more than delighted to
linger fcr weeks and sometimes
months in a land in which it was
tii.ir intention when they left
thsir homes on the outside to
only p iss a few short hours, or per
haps days.
Of the scenic beauties of the
north, world travelers who have
visited the principal places of in
terest ou the globe, cannot say
too much in praise The follow
irg interview with Frank C. Hatch
was recently printed in Seattle and
Vancouver papers. It is interest
ing as giving an experienced trav
elers' opinion of the Alaska tour:
"In *he opinion of Mr. Frank C.
Hatch, former owner of the Hotel
Royalton, New York, the trip to
the Yd*On and Alaska via the 'in
side passage' far exceeds in scen
ic charm the cruises through the
fjords of Norway, which tourists
travel across the continent to take.
Mr. Hatch, who is celebrating his
130th trip to the Pacific coast,
sa~s that the voyage !s one of the
mrst delightful he has ever taken.
II" has traveled all over the world
and visited practically every port
pf interest to the globe-trotter.'1 1

MONTAGUE GLASS;
v.—THE ILL WIND
[Copyright. The Frank A. Munsey Co.]
(Continued from last Issue)
But now Glnsburg was obliged to ad
mit to himself that he might have
made a mistake in so long remaining
single. With an established business
and a one-twentieth Interest In a tene
ment house, lie could demand a dowry
of almost a thousand dollars, to say
nothing of the furniture for a flat
Ills prayers concluded, he made an
attempt at slumber, but without avail
Only two weeks and that $250 must be
forthcoming or his career as a land
owner would lucoutlneutly cease. The
thought of Freedman. the schatchen,
with his innumerable candidates, re
curred In his musings, and at length
he resolved to consult the marriage
broker on the morrow.
The next morning broke clear and
cool. A smart breeze blew from the
river and, entering the rear window of
Ginsburg's store, bore with It the char
acteristic odor of "tnone" seed and her
rings. To Morris this was the spice
laden wind of the Scriptures, aud he
managed to add to his morning devo
tions one or two extra roulades and ca
denzas of such penetrating timbre that
the tenant In the flat above sought to
stem the flow of melody by stamping
on the bare floor.
As Morris concluded, his assistant
knocked at the door of the store, and
Giusburg unlocked It on the instant
"You know Frcedman, der schatch
en?" he asked his employee
"Vy not," the youth replied. "Ain't It
everybody knows him?"
"N'ie, make words about It," Morris
cried Impatiently; "I vant It you
should go und tell him he comes by
me quick. Y'understand?"
"Vy not?" the assistant answered lm
perturbably, and shambled down the
street
Morris was wiping away the crumbs
of his frugal breakfast when his as
sistant returned with the schatchen.
"Sholom alai ehem, Meestaire Freed
mau," he exclaimed, which is the con
ventional oriental greeting—"Feace be
with you."
"Alai chem sholom," Mr. Freedman
responded, and sat down heavily In a
rickety chair.
"Nice weather," Morris remarked by
way of preamble. "Ain't It?"
Mr. Freedman shrugged angrily.
"Ah question," he snorted. He had
been brought from his bed at an un
heard of hour and was indignant In
proportion^
"I'm only saying." Morris hastened
to explain, extending an apologetic
palm, "I moan business dis time."
The schatchen's face lighted up Im
mediately.
"Business." he echoed; dot's some
thing else again."
lie paused and knitted his brows In
deep reflection. Mentally he passed In
review all the young ladies of his
clientele.
"Yah!" he ejaculated in sudden re
membrance, "I got something extra A
number von. You know Adelsteln, der
cloakmaker?"
"Nie."
"You know his daughter Beckie?"
"Big?" Morris inquired, his hand
raised some six feet from the floor.
Freedman nodded.
"Fat?" Morris continued, making an
extended gesture with both arms as
though preparing
to embracea hogs
head.
Freedman nod
ded again, more
vigorously.
"Go on," said
Morris encourag
ingly.
The schatchen
leaned forward
as though to Im
part a fact of
great secrecy.
"One tousand
dollars goes mlt
her," he whisper
ed and then drew
back the better to
note the effect of
his words.
Morris elevated
his eyebrows and
shrugged super
cmousiy.
"One tousand dol- "j Vant to tell
lars goes mit her," T0U something,
He whispered. Meestaire Freed
man," he announced. "! am a proper
ty owner and a business man, ain't It?"
Mr. Freedman nodded once more.
"Und a good Jew, ain't it?"
Again the sehatchen assented.
"Den vat's der use of talking fool
ishness!" Morris cried in tones of final
ity. "It must pos-l-tive-ly be ouo thou
sand five hundred!"
Mr. Freedinau seized his hat In si
lence with the air of a man who, hav
ing seen Ills good offices ruthlessly re
jected. washes his hands of the entire
matter. lie rose to his feet and made
a stately progress for the street door
and was almost across tlie threshold
when Morris rushed forward.
"Vait a minute!" he crled excitedly
and laid a restraining hand on the
schatchen's arm. "*'
Mr. Freedman was readily persuad
ed to reseat himself, and before he
Anally departed a meeting between
Morris and his prospective father-in
law was arranged for the following
Friday night at the synagogue on Nor
folk street
At precisely noon on the Friday In
question Annlbale left his store clad
In all his Sunday finery, with his
guitar case under one arm and bear
ing a rails* In his bedlamonded right
hand. Be entered his neighbor's tailor
shop.
"I Just come for s&ke-a hands with
you," he announced to Qlnsburg. "I
like for ask-a you a favor."
"Nle," Morris replied, "vat's der mat
ter? You ain't sick?"
Annlbale evaded the question.
"I like for aak-a you," he continued,
"please make a writing on this card,
Just for some one ls-a dead. I want
for put on my door."
Morris took the card and wrote In a
large scrawl, "Closed For a Death."
"Dot's a misfortune," he murmured
In sympathetic accents, lie shook An
nlbale's proffered hand. "Might your
fader Is dead?" he Inquired.
Annlbale nodded gloomily.
"Anyhow," Morris continued, "you
open tomorrow again, ain't It?"
"1 d'no," Annlbale replied; "maybe
yes, maybe no."
He affixed the card to his door and
after turning the lock made haste
down the crowded sidewalk, but not In
the direction of Mott street
Tho Sabbath evening services at the
Norfolk Street synagogue commence in
June at 7 o'clock, for as soon as three
stars twinkle In the firmament the
Sabbath, on rabbinical authority,is held
to have duly arrived. Accordingly at
a quarter to 7 Morris locked up his
store and repaired- to his place of wor

struction, was a modification of the
