For the past several weeks the
center of the stage of Ska^way has
been occupied entirely by the Skag
way Test MiU.
William S. said, once upon a time,
"All the world's a stage and all
the men and women merely players,"
and to show that the people of Skag
way who are not on the stage are
good theater goers, is be?t illustrat
ed by the Interest shown In "That
Tost Stamp Mill" by the manner in
which they "got" their names down
on the list of boosters, and the tidy
little sums set opposite those names.
Here is the list as it stands on
the records of the "Skttgway Milling
Company" the very latest recorded
in the Birth Records of Skagway:

These people do not believe in race
suicide, on the contrary they are of
that class who are always on the
lookout for a chance to do something.
Something which will redound to the
benefit of not only themselves, but
to the benefit of the commnnity at
large.
Attention is called to the fact that
Uie Skagway Milling Company was
incorporated for 110,000. This looks
like more than is necessary, but It
was done so that others than those
Already on the list might have a
chance to show their loyalty to the
town and surrounding country a* well
as their faith in the mining possib^
Hies of Skagway Valley.
With the birth of an Industry, the
responsibility of the parents dee* not
cease, but on the contrary, grave re
sponsibility begins. I.Ike all children,
there is education to be had. the
stage of measles, whooping cough,
and the thousand and one Ills that
human life is fraught with must be
successfully passed through ? likewise
with this new creation: the people
the prospectors ? must be educated in
the knowledge that there Is quart*
in the Valley and the only way to
know the value of that rock is to
"give it to the Teat Stamp Mill,"
and then comes the time when that
mill will need a "doctor'a" attention,
to repair some overworked part of
its anatomy, and here is where the
friends of the undertaking may have
an opportunity to show their friend
ship.
tjet us all boost, and If we can't
give we can at least lend our en
flburagement and advice to those
who are acting as foster parents to
an enterprise which is rightfully a
member of the family residing In
the Skagway Valley.
Fresh Oysters on half shell or Skag
way spring chicken at the Pack Train
Restaurant If.
The run of salmon, bo far this sea
son has been very light, and for a
while it looked as though the pack
at the Chllkoot Cannery would b*
leas than half Its ordinary alie. The
runs of the past two weeks, however,
although not heavy, have given the
CAnnery man and also the fisherman
some encouragement. With the late
run <rf the fish that is now expected
it is very probable that the cannery
will be able to put up its contract
pack. ? Haies PVoneer Press.
