This is the second day of the re
publican convention in Chicago.
Yesterday there was an intimation
of the combinitjg of the leaders to
exclude Hughes froan the list Md
swinf to Roosevelt. Nov and
then a threatening voice has been
heard throughout the country that
unless certain men nominated on
the ticket suit other leaders that
a third party will be formed and
that Mr. Roosevelt will assume the
rule of that third paaty.
Sizing the situation up from all
angles and after carefully pdrusiiig
the leading political papers in the ;
country it looks as thought either
Hughes .or Roosevelt would get
the nomination on the republican
tkrke- . Things at the present stat
us 01 the game look more favorable
for Hughes than for Roosevelt. Mr.
Roc-sevelts inclinations to kee® aUxf
from a direct association with! the
par'y but still at the same time lig
ering around on the edge for the
ti< miuathni has oast discredit upon
fc.s standing with the leaders.
S\ Ml'ATHKTlO CO-OPERATION
The class day exe.-cists in Elks 1
IIill last night were ably managed
aud everything went off without a j
hit.h on the part of the school peo
ple. There was however, a decided
lack o' ec-operation on the part of
the parents and visiting people of
ikagway which hindered the render
ing of the exercises in a manner |
tha» made it very disagreeable for j
the oariicipants.
There were a few in the audience j
who never got quiet enough for the j
others to hear. The practice of j
constautly moving about, allowing j
small children the run of the aisles
and »c ping babies in the audience
after it was reasonably evident that
ttie> would make a disturbance and
bcther the anxious listener, is to be
deplored. ' J
The undeveloped voice does not
have carrving powers that a trained
voice, and more especially in a laree
hail, netds the syiapsMthetjQ co- (
operation of the audience. if this j
co-oofcrative spirit oan be incorpor- j
ated into the scene tliis evening it I
will greatly help those who are par-j
ticipating in the commencement ex
ercises.
ANYHOW THY AT HOME
Ther° is great talk about patriot
ism jus» uow and m> one denies the
wisdomo ol fealty to home aud
coun'ry. But tt seams that when
it comes to conserving home Inter
ests we are apt to be penny wise
and pound foolish. To make a law
cents, as we imagine, we barter our
whole future. That is the mo
tive of buying away from home. It
is the firm opinion of the Alaskan
ti:-at our Interests are best served
by buying at home; and we should
do our town the justice of at least
TRYING AT HOME before we buy
elsewhere.
ALL REJOICE
Skagway joins with all of Alaska
in rejoicing over 'he opeaing of
the mighty Yukon to navigation. It
io symbolatic of the opendng of the
business season for the interior.
Business concerns operating in the
interior take on a new aspect of
business life, transportation to and
from all of the towns In the inter
ior increases, money circulates and
the ou*.?ide world begins to realise
th;U Alaska Is something other than
a field of anow and Ice.
People In the Interior get In
touch with the outside more readily
both frcm the Increased mall ser
vice and thru personal touch, with
traveling men and new blood wfoich.

To Skagway the opening of Ui®

do. the natural gateway to the in

terior Uxry witih us for at least a
few hours. They beoome acquainted

excellent climatic conditions which
are always evident i>i the Garden
CityN Many have expressed the
wish, that they coulld maintain a
home here and use this as a base

comes d wish or desire and then ac

GOLDEN ROD
We are informed that the Golden
Rod. a pleasure launch capable of
seaun- forty people will be on the
scene of action this summer to
take charge of the tourlat busi
ness. The Commercial Club again
is rendering a service to the citi
zens o' Skagw-ay and deserves the
credit for having the foresight to
provide Tor such a conveyance.
The fact that the club has mode
an investigation and secured a l**1*
that is safe and seaworthy and
caa>able cf handling the trade is a
feature iv>t to bo overlooked by the
citizens and business men oi this
community.
The , ommercial Club is on the
Job every minjute of the day. It J
is affiliated with the National
Chamber o' Commerce and is con
stantly on the alert to bring Skag
wny before the eyes of the jvorld in
a truo representative manner. It
is tc te regretted that this hard
working and Influential body re
clever me support of sa few of the
business meu of this city. How
ever, one glance at the working per
souell iyl that body Will readily
show that they are live onee and
in the p«.me for all that tihere is to
git. .
As the season approaches un
doubtedly a call will be issued by
th«u» body fpr.tihe support of more
o' the business men. Any rea
sonable man will immediately see
tha» concentrated action, will get
the eity further thaa Individualism

A SINGAPORE DISH
RicctafeJ Is Not a Mere Meal; It
Is a Whole Banquet.
A SORT OF CULINARY MARVEL
It Contain* About Everything From
Fish to Deeaert, but Its Great and
Crowning Delight Seeme to Be the
Highly Odoroue Bombay Duok.
On a nip around the world from New
York. Slntcaiwre la Jnst half way The
sblpa part here and Bow both ways
Drop a letter In the postoflk-e for New
York and It may come ucroes the Pa
dflc; $rop another and It may cross the
Atlantic. ^
More odds and ends of humanity arc
thrown together here In Singapore than
tj>. any other cKy In the world. Slnga
pore ts halfway between Arabia and
Japan, halfway, between Indlu and
China. On, the afreet they stream past
-Sikhs, Tsmlls. Parsees. Armenians.
Arabs. Malaya. Mohammedans. Flllpl
noa. Chin one,, Portuguese. Siamese
•Japanese. Javanese—as If they wer<
made up for ,a procession, some with
no clothes and some swathed In them.
Every day at nooti onithe bill of fare
In Singapore yoti find a called rice
ttfel. whlrb wlll/llve long In my mem
orj' 't !a the most-fearfully and won
derfully made dish .In the world. It
stagger* the Imagination to think of
what It la composed. ^ An. ordinary In
tellect stands appallet}) when It begins
trying to flgnre out what the dish Is
made of. Only a Kelrln dare try to re
solve It tnto Its elements.
The first day I ordered It In a reck
less, ears, free moment T had never
heanl jjfjLbt'Ji£_anU auoiwsoJ that it
wn* Just an ordinary' alntfle dos* dish,
'but in a few minutes I began tc« flnd
out that It was u tafel of another color.
An ordinary steed boy came up bear
ing a plate of rice and gave it to me.
Hardly bad t!i6 bov turned aside when
another boy came uff> with some meat
1 piled on the meat: hut just as I was
picking up my knife and fork a larger
boy came up beartn? a plate divided
off into no-dons plied to the cargo line
with spices, cinnamon* and other trop
icnl products. I looked to see If there
hadn't, been some mistato*. but his confi
dent manner and bearing showed plain
ly that 1 was to put tbem on too I
did, even though it looked as if I were
going ou a cruise, and had Just leaned
back to study the mound when an
other buu bearer came .up 1 he Ran
on his dish and worked my way
around, helping myselr to the more
prominent articles, and after he bad
gone on 1 picked up my spoon and
was Just weuderlng which side to
make my tlrst encroachments on when
another outrider came up with another
dish of odds and ends. After him came 1
others, some little nnd some old. some
shy and some bold, the line forming
at the left and rhythmically tramping
by, while I threw on and rounded up
until It began to look as if the mound
builders bad gone back into business
again. After the tall of the procession
had gone by, I located a favorable |
spot and went to work.
These are some of the actual things
that were in the final draft: Rice, cur
rled meat, mincemeat balls, fried on
Ions, shredded onions, white onions,
banana fritters, hard boiled eggs, slic
ed cucuml>ers. Chinese macaroni. i>ea
nuts, French beans. Indian chutney
cocoanut, red t1»U. shrimps, fried flsb.
fried chicken, goose liver, chill, limes
and Bombay duck.
I'll take my word for it that even
single one of these destroyers was In
my rice tafel.
i put tsomoay aucK last. r«r I Know
that the other lugredleuts would rather
not associate with It. You could read
lly understand their attitude If you had
once tasted Bombay duck, for there Is
no other thine Its size In the world that
makes such an Impression on you. It
has the worst odor of anything I ever
went up agalust. and without wlshinu
to boast I have smelled some things
that were highly praised In their line
but for hard, consistent smelling dav
In and day out Bombay duck has them
all In the Yankee division. In compar
lsou with It llinbutger cheese has a
delicate perfume.
How It ever got that name is more
than I know. It Is really a dried tlsh.
which, broken and powdered, lends a
season InK. but as for myself I would
rather take my seasoning In some othei
form. Old residents and missionaries
who have been in the country a lon.L
time sa^ that after a time a person
comes to be very fond of It. but per
sonally I kuow that there could never
be anytbli/g between us—unless it was
distance. It Is a!: that i can do to stay
at the table where one of the parties is
an old resident or a missionary a lonp
time In the service.
The people In Singapore do not call
rlcetafel a dish. They consider It a
meal And that's what It Is. It looks
as If It bad been meant for the noon
day repast at a Woodmen log rolling
Many and many a person here has
rlcetafel at noon and nothing else. In
fact, after eating a rlcetafel there Isn't
room for anything else. A jterson then
wants to crawl off and go to sleep
And that Is what everybody does In
the suburbs of the equator. The shop®
all close at noon for a couple of hoars
while everybody lies down and sleeps
off the effect of the rlcetafel.—Homer
