with Skagw?y business men puttlpR
Into practice progressive ideas ? wire
less telegraphy, a large development of
the water and light system, & cab'e line
to Mount Dewey, the air chargtd with
enterprise? a correspondent feels it to
be the psychological moment to organize
the Ska? way Improvement Club. It is
an excellent idea and the Alaskan
second* the motioc.
Skagwsy could with a little effort
and prac:ical:y no expense, be made
the City Beautiful of Alaska. It has
everything to hand to the purpose,
na'urully beautiful streams coursing
through it, wide thoroughfares, good
drainage, a world of cature all around
us tc draw from. The work of such an
organization could be made Im
mediately effective. The first move
might be to secure the authorization
from the council for the removal of a
few more old shacks? and then their
removil. How tasily done and how
very effective would be the
planting hero and there on street
comers of a few trees, the convenient
placing of boxes as catch-alls? In
keeping the streets free from rubbish?
the cleaning up of the alleys of the ac
cumulations of several seasons, the
the planting of a f;w hardy flowers on
the vacant lots? why, in no time the
wnole city might be thus made a
beautiful park to what great addition
to our joy of living and to the sur
prise and delight of summer visitors,
every one of whom would go away
advertising the fact of wha' a tine
people we are and what a tine city we
have.
The creeks rl iwing through the city
could be made beautiful by cleaning
them of rubbish and p'anting marsh
marigolds and o'.her water plants
along i heir margins. Willows and
wi'd rose bush s could be planted along
the banks of the streams to make them
things of beauty. Everyone in Skag
way could and should be a member of
the club. Each little child could have
a small piece of ground to be planted
with setds and so the children would
be taught to value the beautiful.
While advertising our wonderful
natural attractions, our nearby glaciers
and historic il points of Interest, let us
begin at home by making a practical
demonstration through these simple ]
means that the people of Skagway are
not only a beauty loving people, but
that we actually have the climate and
the blooms acd the gcod will. Who
among us shall carry the honor of
making the first move in this good
work V

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that then: Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarih Cure
Is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fra'ernity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hal 's Catarrh
Cure is taken intern*lly, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby dstroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
tha patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing Its work. The proprietors havq to
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
c?s9 It fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.
