The Douglas Island News.
? THE NEWS AT HOME.
What the Editor of the Record Saw ami Heard
While a Visitor at the News Office.
It bus been a source of much grntifl-!
cation to the publishers of the News to
note the complimentary manner in
which this paper is received by the
good people of Douglas Island, and in
our mention of the many little inci- j
dents.that have occurred which furnish j
proof of the sincere friendship that the '
readers of this paper have for the News, j
we oujy stated what was the truth, and
in a mild form at that, yet to many we j
know it has appeared more in the spirit
of jest than a stern reality. The News !
has taken no backward step, but every
issue finds it advancing and adding
more readers to its already large num
ber of subscribers.
The.editor of the Record made us a
pleasant visit a few days ago and his
bright little paper records the follow
ing:
"After a grand right and left with the
boys we went down to ?eo our old
friends, McBride A Hopp, of the great
religious weekly, the News, in fact, the
only church organ read outside a Sun
day school. We had no more than got
into the office when a handsome lady, a
dream of perpetual bliss, came tripping
in and the conversation that ensued
was something like this: 'How do you
expect us to live without yesterday's
paper?' 'Did you not get the paper?]
asked the scribe on watch. 'No, we
cannot either eat or sleep without the
News.' That settled it with the Re
cord man. He ducked. To live iu a
place where ft newspaper's efforts are
appreciated was a dream which we only
never hoped to realize and the shock of
reality was terriflic."
Interviews with the News mau of this
nature are frequent?so frequent that
we have ceased to make mention of
them. It has been our desire and am
bition to make this paper a family ne
cessity?our wish has been gratified.
Yes, women?"dreams of perpetual
bliss"?cry for it, children must have it
and the aged will not do without it. In
deed, gentle reader, our cup of happi
ness is full.
When Alaska secures two more
judges, why ain't Judge Heid in it? We
don't know why.
The Record and Miner get to this of
fice "once and a while," but much oft
ener they don't.
Judge Day of Skaguay is one of tlie
attorneys that has business before the
court at Juneau this week.
L. G. Kaufman went down on the
Cottage City. We hope he will conduct
himself in a proper manner while away.
Our friend, Judge Louis K. Pratt,
came down from Skaguay 011 the Cot
tage City aud is in attendance at court
at Juneau.
'?Dad'' Kaufman is back from the
Sound country looking well, lie had a
pleasant vacation and took a much
needed rest.
Miss Jordison did not get the News
last week. Her conduct is an excep
tion to the rule?she didn't cry, but she
gave the News man the devil.
Rev. C. J. Larsen, wife and daughter,
Edith, made the News office a pleasant
call last Friday evening. The religious
character of the News was, however,
not discussed.
We understand that Epstyn,the jolly
clerk in the Blum &.Co. store, is put
ting in his leisure time on perfecting a
patent, which is a man's shirt that can
be taken oif and on without unfasten
ing the "galluses."
Mr. and Mrs. John G. Heid enter
tained a box party at the theater last
Friday night. The invited were Judge
and Mrs. Johnson aud Louis L. and
Mrs. Blumenthal.
We are pleased to say that Mrs. Mc
Bride and little May, wife and daugh
ter of the senior editor of the News, are
improving in health in Seattle and will
probably make us a visit in May.
The foreman and printers howled for
copy all day Friday, but there was no
copy. If you think it an easy task to
furnish copy when you are thinking of
being the owner of a valuable mining
claim, why, just try it.
Ed Casebolt was laid up with a se
vere cold last week. Seventeen of his
truest friends prescribed remedies and
he tried every one of them and when
last heard from he was still alive, but
! sulfering more from the mediciues than
he was l'rom the cold.
Attorney Donohoe is having a tustle
with the grip. A News mail saw him
? last Thursday and he looked like a
! weather beaten chrysanthemum. We
! were surprised to see him so sick?he
; reads the News every Week.
"When we want to know what is go
ing 011 over at Douglas aud Juneau, we
read the News," said Judg^ Johnson to
the News man. Women and children
not only cry for it, but sturdy, cold
| blooded judges must and will have it.
The senior editor of the News is high
ly elated over an expert report on one
I of his mining claims in the Porcupine.
If this good news should prove true,
we are goiug to start a saloon and cigar
stand where everything will be free to
our frieuds.
The News man goes to Haines Mis
sion, Seward City, Skaguay and Dyea
this week. Look out for our write-up
in next week's issue. The trip will be
made on the Woicott and the man that
goes up that way and don't take that
boat isn't posted.
We were over at Juneau Friday. We
were not feeling very well, but a good
look at Capt. Crocket fixed us out all
right. You couldn't, make a crusty, ill
tempered cuss out of the captain. We
wish we could say as much of all the
captains that sail in Alaska waters.
