In the current number of the North

ritory are boundless, and that Alaska
would yield 57,000,000 feet of fine lum

For assured prosperity more is

manufactures encouraged, property

Griffin & Reed have an immense
stock of books on hand and have more
on the way. They have concluded to
dispose of' those now on hand at very
low figures. Take a look in their
window aud note prices. A bible,
usuallv sold for S18, you can buy for
S10. Full sets of Dicken's and Scott's
for S8 and S8.50. One dollar, gilt
edge poets for GO cents. Fifty cent
books for 33 cents, and others in pro
portion. Yesterday afternoon A. S. Reed, of
the firm of 'Griffin & Reed, and Tony
Meany, started on a fishing excursion
in a small skiff. They were quietly
sailing along when without a mo
ment's warning their frail craft cap
sized. Both men could be seen strug
gling to get on to the bottom of the
skill'. The steamer Electric backed
out from her dock and was fast steam
ing toward the men, who by this
time were astride the bottom of the
boat, from which they were taken off
by the Electrir aud brought ashore
nbne the worssi for their involuutary
ducking.
Hostilities have begun be
tween the rival editors in Washington
county. Forbearance sometimes
ceases to be a virtue, and it U, often,
hard for a newspaper man to restrain
himself, but, after all, it is better all
around, better for the city, better for
the individual, better for the dignity
of the profession, to refrain from per
sonal or insulting rejoinder. Our
friend Jones and Flagg would do
better to make their papers vehicles
of pleasant news, mediums of aid for
the community than to wast time
and space and effort iu sayiug mean
tilings ulxmt each other. We
speak from experience, aud while in
variably emerging victorious, have
never yet got through with a personal
quarrel with another newspaper with
out a loss of self lespect that didn't
make up fur tlte questionable triumph.
Try out to get the best paper, pi
brethren, and let the other fellow do
the growling and the snarling, and
our word for it, you'll be better satis
fied and so will your patrons and the
public.

A Heroine of the Seattle Fire.
Miss Lou Root, of Seattle, at
present visiting friends in this city,
displayed considerable pluck and
bravery coupled with presence of
mind on the occasion of the recent
great fire at Seattle.
Her father, Dr. Orrin Root, had an
office in the Yesler building. He
was absent from the city, and when
the fire was within a block of her fa
ther's office Miss Lou having secured
the sen-ices of a faithful expressman,
forced her way throught a seething
mass of terrified humanity, gained
access to her father's office, secured
her father's most valuable papers,
books, etc., and amid the roar of the
fast approaching flames, and the din
of houses being blown up with dyna
mite, surrounded by Hying cinders
and falling firebrands "and almost
borne from her feet by the rushing
crowd, she succeeded iu saving the
most of her father s property.
Such courage on the part of avouncr
giu, w mo imusL oi real uanger, is an
exploit worthy of mention, showing a
brave determination that inanv an
older person might well be proud of.
