SKAGWAY'S ROLL OF HONOR.
The Daily Alaskan will print some
day in the near future the roll of
honor of this town ? la othi r words
the subscription list showing the
names of those who came forward
and pledged their money and serving
toward establishing the test stamp
mill in Skagway.
It will be noticed that some of the
subscriber* are uot in business here
but own their little homos in th.s
place, others own property but ha\ e
moved awa> . while one otfer comes
from a man * ho has uot one doliar
invested in the town, but tan see
the advantage to his business from
afar, by aiding in the development of
this country.
Every mining engineer, opeia.or,
or manager of uiiues, who has passed
through Skagwa> sau- this movemen
was started has unhesitatingly given
it his heart)' eudorseuieut. Mot only
have some of them given their ap
proval to the idea of establishing the
mill but some have gone so far as to
prophecy that this Skagway vajley
will l>e ix gre-ai mining center.
A few business men that arc not
doing much business, like their pres
ent status so well, that they not
only will not help materially, but lo.-c
no opportunity of making disparaging
remarks about the plan of action de
cided on. Well, some people have
been kicked iuto prosperity in other
pU ces and it seems that history will
rep?\at itself here :n Sskagway in the
same manuer.
There will be a meeting of the sub
scribers tonight at which time it is
expected tha; some formulative plan
wiij be adopted to go ahead with the
work of installing the plant and pro
viding for its maintenance.
In the meantime several prospect
ors who have large quantities of ore
out are getting ready u> bring it in
to town to take the test and others
are getting ready u> drill ana shoot
down ore in large quantities. Still
other parties are leaving for the hills
every day hunting fox new ledges.
NOW IS THE TIME.
The tourist season is in full swing
and now is the time for the Commer
cial Club to advertise Skagway as a
summer resort. The bookies have
done good work, but why let the cam
paign drop while the bast time of
the year for the work is at hand?
Each tourist coming here during
the summer, has many friunus who
contemplate the trip to the North. A
booklet to those friends will go a
long way toward deciding the water
ing ones, and four or five of those
who make their home m. Skagway
for a month will pay all the expense
of printing and publishing all the
booklets.
The Commercial Club at the pres
ent time has its organization, its
officers and its meeting place, why
doesn't H get busy?
The members of the Club should
hold a meeting and devise some
means of distributing the remainrni:
booklets, before the season is too
far advanced.
Experience has taught us that the
months of July. August and Septem
ber are the best months of the year
for tourist travel, and that the com
panies transport hundreds of ex cur

and Sweetest in the Candy Line
Just Received at BRITT'S
sionists during those months, there
fore, it the matter of the distribution
ot the remaining booklets Is acted on
immediately, the results will be felt
this year.
Better hold & meeting and do some
thing.
ALASKA'S HEROIC WOMEN.
Mrs. Mary K. Hart, tho popular lec
turer of the excursiou steamships of
the Pacific Coast company, was on
the Spokane at the time of the
wreck of that vessel in Seymour Nar
rows.
Kroui press accounts it ts learned
that Mrs. Ilart was instrumental in
saving a number of lhos. It Is not
surprising that this estimable lady
should perforin in the heroic role of
saving lives in time ot danger.
Mrs. HarC is an Alaskan all through
and the fact that she did her duty as
sh?t saw it. which Is commendable, is
nothing more than would naturally be
expected of her by those who know
her best.
I ndoubtedly there are many more
women iu this groat northland who
would meet danger just as unflinch
ingly and perform with the same
sound judgment under trying con
ditions. That this is true need not
detract any meed of praise that Is
due Mrs. Hart for her heroic service
on the Spokane.
The man who is in doubt is the n>an
with another mau's collar on his neek.
Every man is said to have his price,
but some of them go at so much per
dozen.
Some people are so sympathetic that
It just seems to take all their energy
and to render them utterly helpless.
