NEW BASIS
1, 't^e Frop:?ition Now Of
ficially Before Council
Tha city council formally turned
'owa the offer of the Northwest Light
A Power Company at tfce special meet
ing last night, on the recommendation
of the water-works committee ? Messrs.
McGratb, Shea and McLean? ?cd
authorized the committee to carefully
investigate the proposition to lease
the pUnt and to report all the details
securable to the council.
It was stated by Councilman Shea
that the committee will be prepared
with facts and figures that will make
the proposition .understandable. He
said the committee would try then to
auswer the questions asked by the
Paily Alaskan yesterday.
Mr.^Shea also requested that all tax
payers and property owners--"the
others don't count," he said, "I don't
care whether they are working for
$73 per month or $150"? be present at
the meeting to express their views on
the matter. Mr. Shet declared him
self as unequivocally in favor of secur
ing the water-works and light plant.
He theu devoted some attention to a lot
of the Skagway business men whom he
said were so afraid of the White PasS
tbat they dare not speak cut on any
question.
Mayor Conway asked If the water
works committee had had any intiraa
lion as to wh.it the Northwest Light &
Power Company would take as rent for
its plant and how great a sum would
have to be paid in rentals until the
plant would becoius the property of
the city. Mr. McGrath replied that
those were questions the committee
would have to report upon.
Mr. De Serisy asked that there be a
report on the actual value of the p'ant,
ami that it be based upon exper
knowledge.
The right of the water-works com
mittee to incur expenses in the course
of ts investigations for experts'
services or other items was questioned.
Mr. McCra'h suggested tbat the origi
nal resolution under which the com
mittee was acting gave it that
authority, saying. further, that he
already had incurred expenses.
All the members of tbe council were
present.

The Inflnenee of (he Farm.
The farm Is the best security we
have for our social well being, and
whatever promotes Interest there,
whatever raises !t In Intelligence and
scientific spirit, Is one of the most
comforting Influences of our civiliza
tion. And so to have our young men
Imbued with the true agricultural spir
it, to turn away from the adventures
of the commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive, Independent life on
the farm. Is one of the richest promises
In our educational system. For there
In where It belongs? to the expanding
mind force of the nation. The Unest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re
sults that will go further than all
other enterprise Iu blessing men. will
be won on the farm. There Is a science
of soil culture, and the art that Is to
be based upon It will open wide the
door to men of thought and refinement.

Inside a queer, birdcage-like wicker
contrivance built high up In a tree the
Aru islander will watch patiently for
days to get a shot at a bird of paradise,
perhaps the loveliest of nature's i-rea
tlons. Ills food is supplied every morn
ing by another native, who remains at
the foot of the tree during the day to
secure any bird which may fall, killed
or stunned. < Inly the rdult males, with
long plumes, are sought after, for were
uot this the case this beautiful species
would long ago have become extinct.
To secure living specimens the natives
employ an arrow luivlug three prongs
at the end. These prongs are barbed
on the Inside, and the object Is to shoot
at the legs of the bird, which, when
hit. flutters helplessly to the ground.?

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing ard reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish lo call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, ^of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Svrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-^vide acceptance, of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the _,ne of ?
Syrup of Figs ? and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of ? Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna ? as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs ? and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company ? California Fig Syrup Co. ?
plainly printed on the front of every packa'ge, whether you simply call for ? Syrup of
Figs ? or by the full name ? Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna ? as ? Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna ? is the one laxa.'ive remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name ? Syrup of Figs ? which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
