SUGGESTION MEETS APPROVAL.
The tentorial which appeared in
The Alaskan yesterday suggesting
that u Commercial Club be formed
in Skagway, composed of represen
tative business men and citizens,
which will eschew politics and de
vote its energies to the upbuilding
and improvement of the town, has
uiet with approval on every side.
Many business men who have never
appeared at a meeting of the present
l hamber of Commerce have stated
that they will join such a club and
take an active part In its proceedings.
If Ska sway wants to grow and de
velop it must have some commercial
body to aid its growth, o exploit the
resources of the town and country,
to take action in many things that
are outside the sphere of the town
council. Juneau's Chamber of Com
merce has done much to develop the
town. The business men of Ketchi
kan have a man at the A.-V.-P. fair
showing samples of ore and advertis
ing the agricultural and mineral re
sources of the country adjacent to
the town.
The Skagway Chamber of Com
merce has been too bnsv playing i>oll
tics to attend to these things.
Tin- present Chamber of Commerce
has absolutely no standing in the
community. There have been no
Quorums at the last two meetings.
The two previous meetings saw few
business men present and the ses
sions were devoted to politics.
A Commercial Club can be formed
in Skagway that will do much to aid
the material prosperity and develop
ment of the town. It only needs the
right kind of leadership and the sup
port of all business men. The busi
ness men should get together at once.
Tourists can be attracted to Skagway
this summer; many things can be ac
complished ? but not v>y inaction.
The present Chamber has served
its purpose and died a natural death.
Skagway needs a Commercial Club ?
not an imitation Tammany Hall.
WICKERSHAM IS PRAISED.
Tlu- Douglas News takes the right
view of the effort of Delegate Wlck
ersham to secure self-government for
the people of Alaska, says the Ju
neau Dispatch. That paper also sees
the effort of certain anti-home rule
papers to belittle the effort so as to
discourage the people in their fight
for home rule. The News says:
"Alaska's delegate has Introduced
a bill In congress providing for an
other step toward self-government
tor the people of the North . Already
the chronic opponents of self-govern
ment are criticising the bill because
it does not include everything for
which Alaskans have asked. Not
having seen the bill we are not in a
position to comment upon It, further
than to suggest that it is most en
ctmraging that there is prospect that
oven a small measure of self-govern
ment will be granted. It Is a hope
ful sign. It may mean more. If Mr.
Wickersham can gain this much for
us, we will be ready to say, "Well
done, good and faithful servant."
The Elks deserve credit for the
manner in which they publically cele
brate on days devoted to patriotic
purposes. The Elks were the lead
ers in the Flag Day and Lincoln's
birthday celebrations.

Eczema Began When a Tin; Baby
and Lasted 7 Years? Tore Crusts
from Face Till It was All Raw
Screamed with Pain and Could not
Sleep? Though Specialists Failed
CUTICURA EFFECTED
A WONDERFUL CURE
"When my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke "out on hi t face.
I took him to a doe
tor and got ointments
and medicines but his
face kept on getting
worse until it got so
bad that no one could
i look at him. His
whole face was one
crust and must have
l>een very painful.
He scratched nay an 1
night until hi*' face
sometimes looked like
a raw piece of meat,
v I v-as nearly insane
?Nl VVi6ft*T- with his -.-rat. hin
day and night. Then I took him to
all' the best specialists in skin diseases
but they could not do much for him.
He sometimes screamed with pain
when I put on the salve they gave me.
"When he was two years old the
eczema got on his arms ami legs so
that I had to keep them bandaged up
and I made gloves for his hands so the
nails could not poison him worse. We
could not get a night's sleep in months
and mv husband and I were all broken
up. Then my mother asked why 1
did not give up the doctors and try
Cutieura. So I got a set and he felt
relieved the first time 1 used them,
the Cutieura Ointment felt so eool.
He used to wake up and ask f<>r Cuti
eura to lie put on when he itched so
badly that he could not sleep, and he
woufd say. 'Oh! Mama, that makes
my sores feel so good!' 1 gave the
Cutieura Remedies a good trial and
gradually the eczema healed nil up
and now he is as well as any other chil
dren. He is now seven years old and
the cure has lasted two months, so I
think it will never return. I can't
tell you how glad I am that Cutieura
did such wonderful work in our ca-e
and I shall recommend it everywhere.
