THE SHELTER TALK
The d'spatcb from Spokane to The
Alaskan last night telling of the possi
ble establishment of a smelter in this
city, is good news. Such a plant would
do more for Skagway's betterment than
almost anything that could be brought
here in the way of a prop for the sta
bility of the town
Skagway is the logic*! location for a
smelter to treat Whitchorse ores.
Over at Smugglers Core an ideal site is
to be bad.The haul from the Whitehorse
copper field> to this point is, compara
tively, not so great as the one from
Butte to Great Falls in Montana, and
the ore could be treated here for less
than the Butte ores in Great Falls,
Tramp steamers could carry the ore
from the copper belt to the westward to
Skagway much cheaper than it can be
taken below to be ireated, and coal
from the same locality could be brought
here for a reasonable figure: wagts are
not so high in Skagway as at other
points; the weather conditions are fa
vorable the year round, and, in fact,
everything iliat goes to make for a
smelter site is to be had here, and there
is no good reason why, if the treatment
of Whitehorse ore is to be mad ) in the
North, that Skagway should not be the
point at which it is smelted.
SHE PREFERRED 10 BUTTERFLY
As much as its placid, bovine nature

aROff over the jilting of one of New
York's wealthiest bache'ors by the
prettiest girl in Quaker Town.
Strangely enough, It was the rustling
of the wedding gown, a confection that
was woven of moonbeams ;uid made
shimmering with stardust, it was so
beautiful and filmy, th*t brought about

train going too slowly and wishes the
speed were twice as great.
But Mi?s Margaret Hazelhurst pulled
the danger signal cord, and before the
safety brakes h?J brought the car to a
full stop, off she jumped and ran in the
other direction.
What she said throws a flashlight il
lumination on her frame of mind:
"I won't get married," she cried pas
sionately. "I love Fred? I love him
more than anything else in the world.
But I'm too young to be anybody's wife.
I can't take the responsibility. All my
girl friends are single ? and I won't
give them up. That's all there is to it.
Take off this dress?I can't breathe in
it? and send word to Fred."
It was too bad that Miss Ha/elhurst
didn't figure out just bow she felt be
fore she bad gone so far. Still it Is bet
ter that she made tbls trifling mistake
instead of the more vital blunder.
In the olden days young girls married
wbile still in their 'teens, settled down,
bore children and were happy in a mild,
uneventful way. It would be well If
these Arcadian conditions still pre
vailed. The individual would be bap
pier, the state would be stronger. But
they don't, and it Is beat to face the new
Ideas and get the best possible out of
them. Brides don't settle down any
more; mothers of families take an In

little, according to their individual
point of view. Of course tbey don't
have the wide freedom of the unmar
ried girl, but they approximate it a*
much as possible. Miss Hazel hurst,
who is evidently a child of the world,
saw matters in their true light. She
wanted to have a jolly, care-free life,
and she was considerate enough not to
subject any man to long-drawn anguish
concerning her vivacities.
Husbands, foolish men, imagine they
have some degree of authority. They
wish to use 1* Sometimes tbey do.
Then there's sure to be a flare-up that
often leads to a "continuous perform

better thai the jilted man should have
his brief heartache than to be torn up
all the time by the giddiness of a wife
who will not settle down.

"It will pay anybody to take the ten
day trip from Seattle to Skfgway and
return," said George B. VVeldler of
Lake Geneva, Wis., at the Shirley An
nex to ? Denver Po?t reporter. "It is
the greatest trip for the money that
can be had anyivhere en earth."
Mr. Weldler has just returned from
the great Northwest, and he was par
ticularly pleased with his recent jour
ney and talked most entertainingly
ab ut It.
"Why you can travel more than 2,000
miles through the most picturesque
scenes, on a tine steamer, with the best
of accommodations and the finest kind
of fare, beautifully served at every
meal, with ample stops for sight-ieeing,
and all for the almst nomical sum of

bonanza in the way of a pleasure trip."
'?It was the inside route, you know,
with islands, forest-clad and beautiful,
looming up regularly. It'? a sort of an
inland sea and nothing could be more
delightful than to see these islands dim
Eo the distance acd then looming up
larger and taking definite shape as we
approach them.
"Only a few Indians inhabit these is
lands, I was told, and they devote them* I
selves principally to fishing. Tho peo
ple arc all Indiana, and they are devoted
to the religeous faith implanted by the
Russians when they occupiod the
country. The old Greek churches of
the Russians still stand in ir.any places.
There are aUo many of the curiously
carvcd totem poles.
"The great Trtadwell gold mine near
Juneau was also a sight to see. Itis like
u big quarry, with 500 or 600 men work
ing constantly. I never saw any such
mining before. It amounts to simply
tearing down a whole mountain, get
ting out ore-bearing rock for the crush

"We saw any number of ice-bergs
which had floated down from the Taku
glacier and many a b? rg as large as our
ship and t> Her floated nea?* us. They
told me that they exteud oown beneath
the surface a distance equal to twice
their height.
"I wish I bad time to tell you more
about this most delightful trip, but
nothing I could say would come any
where near adequately describing it.
There is only one thing to do ? go your
self the first chance you have, and I
promise you will never regret It."
right course. If more girls took it
there would be fewer unhappy mar
riages. And? this Is an Irish bull?
more happy ones, too. When a girl got
tired of butterflving she would be glad
to settle down and make some man
happy in the good, old-fashioned way;
babies included.
It took Dr. Walter R. Gillefe t!T

to such a privilege, but the judge had
an old fashioned idea of justice and
could see no difference between the r!ch

be taken as a warning to others of bis

Itched Constantly? Scratched Until

? Doctors and Medicines Were
Fruitless? Tries Cuticura and Is
I Completely Cured
BY THREE BOXES OF
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"When T was about nma vM
email sores appeared on cacb of my
lower limbs. I scratched them with a
brass pin ana
shortly afterwords
both of those limbs
became so sore that
I could scarcely
walk. When I had
been suffering for
about a month the
sorea began to heal,
but small scaly
eruptions appeared
where the sores had
been. From that
time onward I was
troubled by such
severe itching that,
until I became
accustomed to it, I would scratch the
sores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days; but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accompany
them. After I suffered about ten years
I made a renewed effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part of my body except my
face and hands. The best doctor in my
native county advised mo to use arsenic
in small doses and a salve. I then used
to bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In addi
tion I used other remedies, such as iodine,
sulphur, zinc salve, "s Salve,
Ointment, and in fact I was con
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial,
never using less than one or two boxes or
bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally

becoming bald. I used 's ,
but it did no good. A few months after,
I having used almost everything else, I
i thought I would try Cuticura Ointment,
I having previously used Cuticura Soap
I and being pleased with It. After using
three boxes I was completely cured,
I and my hair was restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure of
I at least $50 to $60 in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. I shall be glad to write
