THE FIEL SlTt ATIO.N
IX TOW N OF SKAOffAY
The winter fuel problem in Skag
way lias for some time been the
cause of serious apprehension on
the part of consumers, as it was
known that practically the whole
available supply of wood had been
us«d aud that -Mr. Xye, the princi
ple wood dealer, had signified his
iuteutiou of quitting the business,
and has, in fact, for the past three
months been out of It. This left 011
Iv a few cords of wood on Bale iu
the town, and siuce that lime this
has all been sold, leaving not eveu
a s'ngle rick on hand in the yards
«if the local dealers.
The coal situation was almost iu
equally bad condition, but as the
W. F. & Y. K. has taken over the
business of the Shaw coal company,
and will furnish coal at the same
rates heretofore charged, the fears
of a coal famine has been relieved.
The. \V. F. & Y. R. will handle
both outside aud Tantalus, Y. T„
coal, and the buyer can take choice
between the two. Twelve dollars
per ton, at the bunkers, will be
the price charged.
The wood question, however, does
not appear so easy of solution,
and while it is rumored that two
men have hired men and are now
engaged iu cutting wood for the
Skagway market, a short distance
from h*r<\ it is by no means sure
that they will be able to supply the
demand, starting in so late in the
season.
In the immediate vicinity of town
are large areas of timber laud
which have been burned over by
for«-st fires, and the majority of the
trees left standing lifeless. This tim
ber, while it is valueless for most
purposes, would make excellent fuel
f It is not extremely difficult of ac
cess and is only a short haul dis
tant from point of delivery.
We suggest that to a man who
has a little ready money and wish
es to get into a good paying busi
ness here is his oppoitunity to
make a good aud permanent invest
ment
TODAY IS YOUR ONLY DAY.
Yesterday Is a Record and Tomorrow
May Never Come.
Good days and bad days exist only
In your own bend. The weather has
nothing to do with it. Each day is
what you make it for yourself. Bad
weather la only an unfortunate opin
ion.
Suppose it is ruining pitchforks. You
get word that your salary has been
donble<l or that a forgotten uncle has
left you $1,000,000. What do you care
about the weather then? Or suppose
the person you love Is dying. Unex
pectedly a turn for the better comes.
Tlie doctor says your dear one will live.
What if It is hotter than Tophet? It
is a good day, a great day, a happy day.
It's what you think and feel about it
that makes each day what it Is. You,
within yourself, can make each day.
every day, u good day. Put down in
the notebook of your soul the poet
Runeberg's thought:
"Each day is a life."
When you get up In the morning
throw back your shoulders, take a deep
breath. Meet the new day like a man.
Say to yourself:
"Another day—another Mfe!"
For all we know, it may be the only
day we'll ever have. Let's muke It the
best day we can. Let's strive to see
that It Is a day worth while. Let's
move a step forward In our work
Let's do all the good we can. Lefs get
all the happiness we can—today.
Klght now Is the only time you can
control. Yesterday Is a record. To
morrow fs a secret. Today is yours, is
mine.—American Magazine.
