There is no disguising the ta?.t that
Postmaster Sampson is a helpless cripple,
?>> tar as his lower limbs are concerned.
He nas to he carried from his room at the
hotel to the postoffice.then tarried into the
building and seated in a ..hair from which
he cannot move until again helped out in
the same manner as before. Mr. Sampson
is evidently making a strong effort to hold
down his 10b, and there is not a citizen
Mho is not willing that he shield, and even
forgive him his willful neglect of thisof
fice. providing lie can give the community
the service that Skagwav's present and
growing importance demands, and which
she must have. Mr. Sampson's interview
will be found in our local columns He is
prolific in promises, but somewhat ambig
uous in them, and like the winded prize
nghter, he appears to be sparring for time.
He suv? what everybody already knows
too well that he needs more help, and that
as soon a* the "change takes place" he
will have two extra men in the otfice.
The change he refers to is the classification
of the office trom a fourth to a third class.
That was made April I and th? ofti.ial not
ification of that ..lunge was received in
Skagwav and published at the time in the
DAILY Alaskan. Therefore Mr. Samp
son's statement th it he might get two ex
tra men "w lien the c lunge takes place"
requires elucidation. In other words, it
Ji*sn.>t fit with existing tj?ts, anj it looks
as if Mr. Sampson proposed to continue his
old game of throwing sand into the eves
of our people ind use this expected change,
uhkh has alreadv been made, and these
prospective extra men who may I'evet
com \ as a sto^k excuse to arpe.ise the
wrath ot ur long-suffering citizens and
thereby hold his office and keep on feeding
at the public .rib at the expense of thi
this citv?* business. The citizens have .1
right t l?mand g >od postal setvice. the
best that 1 third-class office will give and
<a huh the ^ >\ eminent has provided for.
It now :eina i:s t - the postmasterto do his
full d.;tv. Excuses and delavs are nc
longe' '-Jer. These have alreadv beer
t.v ? ,mr- > and t" the detriment ot Skag'
way's commercial interest. The office de
ma; Js 1 Ktive nun, physically as well a
mentallv. a man of executive ability with
torce of vhar.ute: to overcome obstacle?
ind in isle- the situation. It Mr. Sampson
believes h:mse.f to be possessed of thes<
gualincations li? n .v has the opportunity
to exercise them a-id the people will pa
tientlv w lit. but nlv a very brief period
longer ' 1 radical change that must com
and must ' be delayed too long.

nun. Several of tlie?e abound in anc
around bk-igway, and - I the latest dis
covered and most unique in point of strik
ing character is a gigint . waterfall oil tlx
creek across the bav wheie the new strik*
was maJe a week ag", which is a dea^
representation of thetull - unded back of .
woman's head, the running tfater torminj
the loose hair falling over her shoulder
with a distinctness that s striking. Th<
outline of the head, iscleverlv detineJ with
the face apparently turned slightly to the
right, lejving the right shoulder and back
covered with the dishevelled hair well ex
posed. A beautiful photograph of this
freak of nature was taken by Hegg, the
photographer, of this citv, and adds an
other to the manv natural wonders ol
Alaska. When photogiaphed the surfact
water over the fails was still frozen anil
had a fringe of thin itystalized icicles im
mediately over the running water that
look like lace work and which adds t<
the oddity of the woman's head. I h<
photograph is a great cunositv and wil
add another to the manv alreadv discov
ered in Alaska.

Queen of Mav and her sprites, however
are too strongly entrenched in the lap ol
spring, and in a few davsshe will m;;ke
sortie that will bring out the warm sun
shine and its lite-giving power and dr v<
back to the cavems of the Arctic regioi
Boreas and his hordes of death-dealiiu
imps. The month of Mav so far has nol
been as gentle as was the month of April
It has been raw, damp and an uncomforta
ble medium between cold and warm, mak
ing winter clothing too heavy and making
it unsafe to change to lighter garments.
The month is still ill its infancy, howeverj
and will have plenty of opportunity to re
deem its well-known record for giving life
and beautv to all nature, . inmate ;>nd in
animate, so we can all afford to coirt the
waim corners for a few more davs and
wait patiently for settled warm weather.
