SCHOOL BOARD TELLS WHY
the year on account of sickness and
other causes, so that it is even lower i
now. Then we decided that one
teacher could be dispensed with the
coming year ? made a notation of it
in the minutes of one of our meet
ings several months ago; later includ-;
ed the recommendation In a report j
to the city council, which was after- j
wards published in the Daily Alaskan.
The public has known for some time
that the present school board is In
favor of reducing the salaries at
least $1,500.00 and curtailing else- i
where if possible; so does Mr. Britt
know it. He states that the school j
board has been exceedingly extrava- 1
gant compared with other schools. I
don't know what other schools he
compares Skagway's with ? Metla
kahtla? or some country school
where one teacher teaches eight
grades? I believe every father,
and mother in Skagway wants
their children to have the best edu
cation possible, and are willing to
make sacrifices to that end. 1 believ
that common civic pride should de
mand that we keep the standard of
our schools up as high as possible,
and that the efficiency thereof be cut
down only when "absolutely necessary j
That has been the aim of the pres- j
ent school board.
As an argument in the matter of j
taxes. The total assessable property ;
of Skagway amounts to about $700,000 !
The rate of taxation is 1 per cent. .
\ssuming that the school board
should have rcJuced the expenses
$1,500.00 last year in the face of re
ports from other towns, and other
circumstances, and the taxes had bee
reduced in proportion it would mean
that each tax payer would save two
mills plus, on the dollar; or in other
words, the property owner with pro
perty valued $500.00 would have paid
one dollar less. etc. ? and he might
have five or six children too. There
fore ,can this be made a VITAL issue
in the campaign? Is it of enough
magnitude to make it an issue, ? or
is it something else that is really
hurting Mr. Britt? He says "He
hopes the newly elected board will
make the necessary reforms." He
knows they will be made, because it
has been common public gossip, and :
the fact that "he hopes" has no bear
ing whatever.
Couched in his own language, and
lacking in originality, Mr. Britt's en
tire statement is a repetition and
copy of what his political opponents
have bet - advocating this long ? long 1
time, and the hot and cold exhaust
delivered to the school board has the 5
political trademark so indelibly stamp ;
ed upon it. and is so lacking in argu- I
ment that it is difficult to define it.
For want of a better name we will
call it a "platform," and liken it unto
the platform of a street car, which
is used in getting on to the ear, and
once you are on you have no further
use for it.

Was Surprising? Inflammation Re
duced in a Few Hours and Cure
Soon Followed ? Boy's Torture
had Been Intense for Years ?
Friend's Child had Eczema, Too.
MOTHER TELLS HOW
CUTICURA CURED BOTH
" When my bay was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He could
neither sit still nor lie guietly in bed,
for the itching was dreadful. He would
irritate spots by scratching with hia
nails and that only made them worse. A
doctor treated him and we tried almost
everything, but the eczema seemed to
Epread. It started in a small place on
the lewer extremities and spread for two
years until it very nearly covered tho
back part of his leg to the knee.
"Finally I got Cuticura Soap. Cuti
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
useci them in the morning and that even
ing, before I put my boy to bed, I used
them again and the improvement even
in those few heurs was surprising, the
inflammation seemed to bo so much less.
I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment,
the same of the Pills and the Soap and
my boy was cured. My son is now in
his seventeenth vear arid he has never
had a return of the eczema.
" I took care of a friend's child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and I
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on tho chila just as they did
on my son and it has never returned.
I woiid recommend the Cuticura Reme
dies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran,

rings, made from the tusks of the Alaskan walrus; maccasins made from the
hair seal, and Indian baskets made in every shape and size conceivable.
Not only these things are within the reach of tourists from the standpoint of
price, but many, many others, which cannot be mentioned here on account
of limited space.
When you have seen and investigated you wili concede that Skagway
has every facility for becoming the great summer resort of Alaska and the
Northwest ? in fadt, one of the greatest in the world.
The temperature in winter seldom falls below zero, as the Japanese
current has a moderating effect upon the climate. During the summer
months when you would be sweltering with the heat in the great cities of
the states, here the south winds from the glaciers cause the atmosphere to
be cool and refreshing. Thus there is an ideal climate in Skagway the
year around, with less annual rainfall' than in any other part of Alaska, the
average amounting to only 22.49 inches during the pail five years.
As a garden spot Skagway cannot be excelled. Red, white and
black currants grow in abundance, making the best kind of jellies.
Blueberries, huckleberries, cranberries, and raspberries grow wild. Some
of these berries have also been cultivated very successfully. Vege
tables also grow to a very iarge size and it is an excellent country for celery
which is noted for its rich flavor
During the summer7months we have from eighteen to twenty-two
hours daylight, while during the winter months darkness is more prevailing.
Think of taking a beautiful pidure at midnight, which can be done at
Skagway without ratificial light during the summer months. Notice the
beautiful pidture shown in the accompanying pages which was taken at
midnight-'-notice the moon rising over the mountain tops.
Such novelties as these help characterize Skagway as the natural head
quarters for tourists, and we trust that the few accompanying photographs
that our space permits us to reproduce will convince you that our state
ments are well founded.
The Mountains Surrounding Skagway
ERE ARE some people coming from various sections of
the country who think they own mountains, and no doubt
they do; but those surrounding Skagway are born of another
family, a different Clan.
Nearly all of them have a blanket of snow which covers their criests
the year around, and most of them can boast of a glacier or two, which
they cuddle in their hollows or allow to stretch out and visit the deep
waters. Hugging close to their protectors, these mighty masses of ice
