JUNEAU JOINS IN PROTEST
"Juneau." ?*ys tbe Record of that
city, "should join with Skagway and
other towns in Alaska in ilem<nding
of th? government a better mail service.
The people of any state in the union
would rise up In riot if they were
treated as .Qdifferently as we are in
this respect. Nothing will be done to
remedy this criminal negligence unless
we r se up and assert our rights. Cer
tainly the governmeut should be will
ing to do tier part in the development
of a pos>ession producing a revenue for
the mother country right from the
very grass roots of her civilization. No
other cjuntry in the world has paid her
owu w <y as Alaska has.
"Out the effort made should be a
united one and the matter presented
in a man?er that will command the
respect of congress. Probably the best
way is for the city council to take the
matter up and cause a public meeting
to be held that the reason for our
indiffeaent treatment may bo
c flniiely determined. Tbe question of
better mul facilities in Alaska is one of
more importance than that of territor
ial government, and if ooe half of the
attention was given the mail question
that has b.'en given the home govern
ment question, the Humboldt would
not sail away from Seattle with four
davs' mail Iviog in that office for Alas
ka. TfcJ Skagwav Alaskan is a far
greater paper thin ever before for tbe
simp'e reason that It is making a
great tight for bett-r mail service for
Alaska."
AN ADMIRABLE EVANS STORY
Appropo* of the coming of the United
States navy to the Pacific is n story told
about Admiral Evans which I have
never seen In print, says a writer in the
Alaska-Yuon magazine. Admiral Ev
ans is a music lover. Several years
ago. when he was captain in the Uuited
States navy, be was sauntering along
a New York street early on a Sunday
morning when he was attracted by the i
music in a small church, situated in a
fashionalle nart of the city. Entering
the church he discovered that the choir
was practicing. Captain Evans slipped
into an empty pew and became so ab
sorbed by the music thai he took no
note of lime and fiiied to notice that ,
the ongregation was assembling. He
did cot want to make himself consplcu- I
ous by going out, so be resolved to stay
through the service. In a short time a
sii?-hatted and frock-coated gentleman .
approached the pew which Captain
Evan:) wai occupying, removed bis
gloves, and disposing of bis hat and
cane, cast an unchristian glance at the
intruder, and, partijg bit coat tails, sat
down Taking an elegant card case
from his pocke', he removed theiefrom
acird and, after writing on it, motion*
to the ush<rr, who p-ompt'y approach
ed in the proper soirit of obedience.
Handing the card to the usher be indi
cated that it was intended for the other
gentleman in rhe pew. Tbe usher hand
ed the car J to Captain Evans, who read |
a? follows: "Sir, I pay $5,000 a yer.r for
the exclusive use of this pew." "Fight
ing Hob" took a card from bis pocket
and, after writing on it, banded it to
the usher, who duly handed it to the
owner of the pew, and this is what tbe
irate pew owner read: '-In my opinion
you pay a damn sight too much. Cap.
tain Robley D. Evans.
He was certainly a Frost for the Alas
ka Central however w?rm be made it
for Ball alee.

San Francisco, that once held the
monopoly of Alaskan trade, is now
waking up to the fact that It was a
good thing lhat has gotten away.
it was California that evo'ved the
rainmaker that went into the Klondike
and came out again. Now the ruin
down there is falling in reapjnse to

- WILD 6EESE
Along the occan'a shingly edge,
Athwart the turquoia sweep of sky,
The wild geese in a winged wedge
Go darkling by.
From far lagoons beplumed with palm,
By core and cape, by blulT anj bay,
Through depths of storm, through vasts
of calm,
They speed their way.
The pharo ashen on their Might;
They do not heed its beckouing beam;
The great North airetching weird nna
white,
Lures lik* a dream;
Lures, and the; answer to the call;
Charm*, and they yield them to the
spell,
Inscrutable.
Do you uot feel it comrade, too,
The inescapable delight,
The mounting rapture, that bids you
Take vernal High.? _

Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse? In Agony Eight Months
? Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what tho doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said sho would be all right
in a few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. Ho
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through sho would bo all
right. But sho stdl grew worso. Doo
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time sho was nothing but a yellow,
greenish soro. Well, he said he could
help her, so wo lot him try it about
a week. Ono morning wo discovered
a little yeUow pimple on one of her
eyes. Or course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. Ho came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had botter
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So wo went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and ho said tho eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved tho same, only ho
charged $10 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. I saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
tho paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost mo SI, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great Improve
ment, and in one week all 6ore? had dis
appeared. Of course it could not re
store the eyesight, but if ve had used
Cuticura in time I am confident that
It would have saved the eye. We think
there is no remedy so good for any skin
trouble or impurity of the blood as
Cuticura. Mr. and "Mrs. Frank Abbott,
