1'KSSlMISM HAS ITS PLACE
There are philosophies, called re

Alaska this summer for the firs
time. It waa logically pointed oui
to a Tew of the business men 01
Skagway that tha terminal of a rui
was always the place where-the bi;
curio aud souvenir business waj
done. Skagway being the end o
the run, will have the best bid, o
all the towns in Alaska to cop ofl
ttis line of business. First leU
show the tourist that we have th<
goods, the city atid-the people, an<i
in some way create a desire in theii
heart to prolong their stay in ow
garden spot. We are here to staj
—the tourist leaves -and probablj
never t'-uches our shores again—
but the remarks he makes to hif
neighbor about Skagway sticks aiw3
is a great-factor in determining
whether or no1, said nelghbcri will o
h»s next vacation decide to-spend a
f-jw days In Skagway or Califonia.
A STURDY GROWTH
Tlje financial statement of the
I>auit of Alaska which was - printed
in yesterday's Issue of the Alaskan
stows evidences of the healthy
condition of that Institution. The
condition and financial strength ol
'he Bank reflects in a degree the
condition -of the surrounding terri
tory from which itdraws its busi
ness. We noted with delight the
amount of deposits carried by the
Douii, all of which, is a forerun
ner of the confidence -pte-ced in the
institution, its officers and affilia
'lons by the people of this section.
It is our fondest desire that this
institution will grow and prosper as
do doubt it will. It has brought
new life into the city of Skagway,
new meMiods of doing business,
ne>v blood and an admirable set of
rcen to captain the institution..
Skagway can indeed feel proud
that -it has been selected as the
central bank in the system of that
corporation's chain of business,
situated as K is in a central posi
tion, rapping the gate to the in
terior and ffering th efinest town
site in Alaska, we cannot help but
forge ahe«d if we awaken to the
ofportunities which lay before us
and encourage other institutions to
come here.
DANCES AND DIES.
The May Fly Lives Only a Day, but
Has a Gry Time While He Lasts.
Foolish Insect.' He lives only one
day aud spends the greater part of it
dancing. You've doubtless been a
guest at oue of their dances, held over
a stream on a warm summer's evening.
You've seen the insects In swarms,
leaping up and down In fancy steps
and Intricate figures. You've attended
the dance of the May tiles.
There Is a general supposition that
til May files live only for a day. As a
matter of fact, they will live several
days if the atmosphere Isn't too dry.
Then again they uiav survive only
through a single night. Even this lm
pending fate cannat stop them from
dancing.
This brief lived characteristic, how
ever, applies only to the winged exist
ence of the Insect. Before they grow
wings they pass through several stages,
from the larvae, which live in water,
through several molts and transfor
mations. So while It Is a May fly only
for a short time It exists for a longer
time, and jierhaps we can [uudon It If
it dances during the brief period It
lives in the air.
The fly has two pairs of wings, one
l«Ir much 1'irger than the other, and
two or three long, bristle like tails. Its
mouth to small and soft and not made
for curing. The May fly has bo time to
eat. He's too busy flauelng.—f"hlla<lel
