EDITORIAL PAGE
'FIRE! FIKK! FIKE!
C cc isioually there is criticism of
the mauLer iu whicjx fires are
handled, not only by volunteer fire
departments, but by the well drilled,
highly paid and scientifically
fquippeH. fire departments of large
cities.
It if a pleasant thought that no
criticism lias been voiced oj the
method in which the fire last
night was handled l-y the Skag
way fire fighters, nor could there
be. And it is gool to know, from
the evidence of actions which al
ways "speak louder than words"
ever can, that the young men en
trusted with defending Ska sway's
homes and business houses against
destruction by tho firo fiend never
for a moment hesitate when the
alarm souuds over the thought that
they may have on and will ruin tfle:r
best suits of clothes, nor stop to
consider 'hat the fire rniglit be
further advanced than anyone
knows and that they may be ia
danger from falling rod's or w ills
or floors, but rush unhesitatingly to
the sci 1 e of the fire and fight it
heroic-'i.'ly and intelligently.
Y.'e believe it is largely due to
this very spirit of heroism and de
votion to the interests of the com
munity among our firemen that
Skagway has been saved from Lav
ing a uuniber of serious conflagra
tions in the past few years, as on
several oicasions fires have started
which, if uot handled intelligently
and efficiently, would have result
ed in great damage.
Our h it is off'to the Skagway
\olunteer Fire Department.

official notice:
Territorial dekgate — Alas
ka; (population, 1»10, 64,35t>);
Jam°s Wickersham, REPUBLI
CAN", of Fairbanks, born, Aug.
24, 1S37; appointed United
States district judge. Third Di
vision, Alaska, June 6, 1900;
served two terms; elected Dele
gate Sixty-first, Sixty-second,
Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth
cougresses.
For th? inquiring ones in Alaska
! who have been concerned about
Wickersham's politics, they will
find their answer just where. bo
stands. Even those yvbo bave been
attacking him on bis politics in
that he was supposed to stand on
the progressive-democratic platform
the last election will find little
real satisfaction since there was no
republican candidate that year.
Moreover, Wickersham was endorsed
voluntarily by the progressive-demo
crats and the fact that he did not
repudiate the honors thrust upon
him and allowed the endorsement to
s.tar.d, leaves no ground for bis po
litical enemies to attack bis re
publicanism. As a matter of fact,
Wickersham has always had a large
following of the rank and file of
republicans in Alaska.—Juneau Dis

NAPOLEON'S RELATIVE

Prime Roland Bonaparte, the
ouly uule descendant of the oldest
branch of the house of Bonaparte,
having male representatives living,
and, constquently head of the fam
ily according to the rules of pri
mogeniture, is taking a modest part
iu the war. Excluded from active
service by the law of 1SS6, as a
member cf a family having reigned
over France, he was attached in
the quality of civilian auxiliary to
the Geographical section of the ar
my, and has helped direct the mak
ing of the millions of maps the
field forces have required.
"I should have been glad to fight
;\>r France in the field," he skid
ivceutly to a representative of the
A.-sociated Press; "and would have
•rved disinterestedly," he added;
"I have no Imperial ambitions aid
no other desire than to serve as
I can the cause of my country and
the interests of science."
