REGARDING LOTTKR1KS
One of Skagway's public officials
has aaked us to print the following
section from the Compiled Laws of
Alaska- Please note there are
no exceptions whatever in the
clause.
Compile-' Layvs of Alaska, Cha
ser VIII, Ssc. 2015.
"'That if ajiy person shall pro
mote or set up any lottery for
money or OTHKK YALAl'ABLE
'1HING, or shall dispose of any
property of value, real or personal,
Or way or means of lottery, or shall
or be la any way concerned in
#ettinjf up, managing, or drawing
auch lottery, or shall in any house,
•Ucp, boat, shed or building owned
er occupied by him or under his
control, knowingly permit or suffer
the setting up, management, or
drawing of any such lottery, or the |
sale of any lottery tickets, share of
a ticket, or any writing, token, or
oiher device purporting or intend
ed to entitle the holder or bearer
thereof, or any other person, to
a«y orlxe or interest or share
thereof, shall be drawn in any lot
tery, such person, upon conviction
thereof shall bo punished by im
prisonment in the penitential

b\OW ON SIDEWALKS
No* that we are assured of
enough water for the skating rink
•a soou as the spring rains set in,
Wr wish to call attention to the vari
ous snow drifts along the streets
or the city that make walking in
strong winds dangerous. On
lb* south Bide of the Bank of Al
aska is a large drift that almost
covers the whole sidewalk, and that
should b» removed. The cross
w%iks oa the corner of 5th and
Broadway are at times like the rids
pole of a tent, and so it is on the
some? of 3rd and Broadway and
elsewhere. While it is uadoubted
It the duty of the city to keep the
walks clean, and free from danger,
tb» city should not always be ex
pected to stand with a shovel in its
hand and clear off the snow as fast
ss it falls. However when snow
stands on the main yalks of the
tow a M long as this has, some
fhiu# should be done and the city
should &r it, aa provided in the
Eisgway ordinance. At least it is
not the duty of any Individual to
fceap tb# cross -walks clean, but
flssrly the duty of the city.

DIFFICULTY OF DYEING PA
PER FABRICS
The increased use of paper fab
rics, says the Wollen-Gewerbe, has
caused special attention to be Ue
vo'ed to the problem of dyeing
them. At the present time the
dves used for cotton are also used
for paper fabrics, vhfch are mainly
dyed iu the jiece. The efforts of
'be dyer are directed chiefly to
ficdlng- dyes which resist water. The
textiles are dyed in the same man
ner as cotton goods—in the piece.

paper fabrics are employed to a

I will soon appear on those parts of
tb» garments, which are exposed to
friction. It would, therefore, un
doubtedly be necessary to dyo the
ivaper in pulp before spinning. For
this purpose it will be necessary to
use water-resisting dyes in order
that there may be no difficulties in
carrying out the process of spinning,
wlilch, as is well known, is a wet
process.
A Notable Da/'s Work.
Robert Run:.-) <otu|osed his master
piece, "Turn n" Shunter." In one day in
the open air. Burns went out of the
house in tile morning and. not return
ing, his wife joined biiu In the after
noon with her two children. Seeing
that he was "crooning to himsel'," sin
forebore to Interrupt him. but stayed
in the fields at a distance, where she
coulil see him. she observed liitn wild
ly gesticulating and at times fairly
leaping with joy. She said to Allan
Cunningham, the poet, after lier hus
band's death, "1 wioht v e had seen
him; he was i:i null c.stasy that the
tears were happLig down his cheeks."
He committed the p eni lo writing by
the riverside and went Into t!:e house
and read It to his wile itt 1'ie fireside
with great triumph -one of the most
notable day's wi-ik ever done in Scot
land!
Only One Cost System.
The only cost system which is worth
the use of paper ami in!; Is that one
which is an Integral p.sit of the gen

ly passed. There i < no way of proving
cost results except t!.r-i:gh the gener

the aching and pains left me."
