NO FOUNDATION FOR RUMOR
Rumors to the effect that the
Pacific Coast Steamsihip Company
wore about to seal their
lu'eres's in coastwise ship
ping to the Pacific-Alaska
Navigation Company have been
issued from the San Francisco of
fice 'rom the officials In New York
Ci'" that "There are no negotiation
now pending with the Pacific-Alas
ka Navigation Company nor have
there been with that or any other
tump&uy, looking toward the sale
of our boats or contemplating any
change whatever In the ownership,
operation or control of the Pacific
Coas S. S. Co."
The above statement from the
president of the company will for
ever d.JSPel the fear o£ the pa
trons of 'he popular line that there
is any pc^slblity of a change of
the ownership of the line as has
been reported amongst sha«pets
and trat:importation men.

I» has been, customary for the
City c£ Skagway to celebrate the
Fourth oX July in an appropriate
manner. For the convenience of
our neighbors the date falling on
Saturday nearest the fourth has
always been set aside by the Mayor^
of *he City for the occasion? It is
expected that Mayor Ashley will
set this date »y>art aud declare that
Ssagway will be the host to the
surrounding towns in a Jovial and
patriotic celebratoin.
It is roported th>at seve.al of the
lotipts nave already appointed com
mittees to work in contiectioa with
tiie council. Practically eveTj" body,,
both civ ic, social and religious will
be called upon to make the occa
sion a. successful one. There is uo
reason iu the world why .Skagway
cannoi make a Tecord for herseif
this Julv and map out a program
t' "»f *vill interest every visitor and
at 'he same tlmo serve the patriotic
rurp^se for which it is held.
Toe committee should dig clown
deep beneath the surface and ar
range to handle the wctf'k in a busi
ness like manner. Once announced,
rhe Drogram should be carried off
ri°- ♦ 'o the minute . It's th-e waits
that tire spectators on such oc
casions. If everything is In its place
uartlilpants are entered before the
event and made to sta-rt on time lit
le difficulty should be experienced
In making it a roaring success.
WHERE DOES THE WEST COME
IX
The nation's leaders are using
every opportunity in their spt»:h
itineraries to dwell upon the need
r* the United S'ates for a larger
and more protective navy. Hardly
a day passes but wiwtt same nation
al character choosas thisi for his
th«*ii'e. It is now becoming a uni
versal topic. A reader of the press
Is sure to find a dispatch! tucked
away in hi3 pet paper on the 6ub
jac' most every day. Just what is
the significance of this cry for an
increased efficiency la the navy?
The ordinary layman who is so
busy with his various linaB of work
making a livelihood for his family
's dunibfounded by 'he many billB
tha> have passed congress, adding
to and striking out preparedness
measures.
I* cotigress is to provide a larger

ver- one la faaniiiar and knows'
hat additional abdjps would be aj
ood move on the par* of the war !
[apartment. The Pacific slop*
.ud Alaskan waters need their J
hare ol the additional protection.1
The west is rapidly becoming: the
enlec ot a. vast commercial zone
or the United States.} There has been
nore or less talg aibout tihe men
icitii powers which lie across the
patera. PVom a protective com
nerctal policy alone the government
vould do well to make aiuple pravi

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE
A great army of young men and
* omen will leave the scutools of the
•ountry a«<l begin the serious busi
ie&s ol hie wicliln the next few
iuys. These have spent many
liys. These have spent many
fears in absorbing boolr knowledge
ind in acquiring a variety of in
.i)r mac ion thai must be more or lees
theoretical to them. Now these
:heoritt) are to be applied to the
tacts of life. The boy, and iu many
-•asts the gtrl, are to ajuply their
special knowledge, or such frag
ments as they still retain, to the
busitess of miainitenaiiicq and of
.real ing for themselves carte; s in
life.
For the Tery great a> «»
Audeuta «iiul greater tend"it of edu
cation is in tile dlaclpdino of oiind
fccquired, rather than. in tbe 3Peic
:ial .Knowledge that w retained.
The boy or girl who hia conscien
tiously grappled with: school-prob
lems, rather than evwded them, is
izfiait&ly better equipped for life
than the student who bio light only
ro make a pajier showing. The
workers have educattd, themselves
to complete a task, once begun,
uid to meet each school problem
wi'h what strength Qf mind nature
has endowed them. And use has
sharpened their facilities and fitted
th<m for greater performances ia, a
brc-ader field.
In the great school of life thete
studeu's are to grajpple with great
er problems than those of the smal>
ar schooi. If they have learned the
habits of mental discipline and
of industry they are likely to
graduate from this greater school
with honor. There are mighty few
desirable things In life that may be
uc.empjfched by a man or woman
with 'he mind and will to do.
The slacker, the shifty boy or
srirl who baa scraped through echjod
by hit or miss, on a jraper showing,
is quite likely to scrape through life
in the same barren way. Success
in Wo means whole-hearted and
.il<eoiue devotion, to the task in
hand, whatever it is. Sometimes
the *!aoke.r learns this, but his
early habits aTe all against him.
One cannot "crib" on life's tests;
>>tie raiinot sbirffle or evc.de in the
groat schoolroom. A boy is simply
,-lac«d in the greet university to
tand alone and aohlienre )>y the
tr»-ngth thst is In htm, or "flunk"
to the great company of huana®
rail ares.—P. I.

Sumner's Ready Reply.
Charles Sumuer when in I>>udon gave
a ready reply. At a dinner given In
bis honor be spoke of "the ashes" of
some dead hero. "Ashes! What Amer
lean English!" rudely broke in an Eng
Ushman. "Dust you mean. Mr. Sum
ner. We don t bum our de»d in this
country." "Yes." Instantlya replied Mr.
Sumner, with a courteous smile; "your
poet Qra., toils us that 'even In our
ashes live their wonted fires.'" The
American was not criticised again that
evening.—Argonaut.
How She Caught Them.
"How did you happen to tet four
times as many letters as 1 did?" said
one washerwoman who had advertised
for work by the day to another who
had advertised for the same thing.
"Wound up 'my advertisement by
saying I wan on u diet," said the lucky
one. "That 'on a diet' notice goes
right to the heart of stingy souls who
are trying to cut down expenses. They
hate to figure on a washerwoman's
meals and Jump at the chance of get
ting one who doesn't eat."—New Tork
Sun.
The Rrmant at Figh»«r«.
The Roman liecnme tlie greatest sol
dier In the world simply because he
made soldiering lib one supreme aim
and business The Romans studied
war Just as the Greeks studied art. the
men of the middle ages theology, the
Egyptians the art of agriculture. They
despised literature, art. philosophy,
commerce and even luxury and set
their whole heart on becoming lighters
and conquerors. In (list way they de
veloi>ed very naturally the genius and
means for successful warfare which
made them the masters of the world.
There was nothing miraculous in the
prowess of the legions It was the
natural result of their undivided effort,
protracted through generations.
