"GREENLAND'S ICY MOUNTAINS."
"A Junior Linotype In tho office of
The Daily Alaskan, Skagway. Alaska.
and three in San Juan newspaper of
flees in Porto Rico, remind us of that
old hymn. "From Greenland's ley
.Mountains, From India's Coral
strand.' "
The above appeared in the last
issue of The Linotype I iu lie tin. pub
lished iu Chicago, 111.
We are not possessed of a carping
spirit, but it seems to us that Chicago
can but illy afford to refer to Alaska
as being among "Greenland's icy
mountains." if our memory serves
us correctly ? and it does ? Chicago
was in the throes of a terrific bliz
zard about the time the above allu
sion was printed. At the same time
the temperature in Skagway was '
more than L"> degrees above zero and
there was not an inch of snow on
the ground. Temperature tables for
the year around will probably give
Chicago a colder climate than Skag
way.
The reference to Skagway as be
ii'i; among "Greenland's icy moun
tains" is spread broadcast through
out the world. It creates a fals?- i in
pression. In reality we have mild
and beautiful weather. But owing to
just such Ignorance as is displayed by
the Linotype Bulletin, nine out of
every ten people iu the states think
o' Alaska as a land of perrenial ice
and snow.
It's time this sort of thing stopped.
It's hurting Alaska. There's onlj
one way to stop it. That's by ad
vertising. Advertise Skagway and
Alaska and show the people of the
states Just what our climate and re
sources really are.
Delegate-elect Wickerehaiu in an
article contributed to the Alaska- Yu
kon .Magazine maintains that Alaska
now lias all the perogatives and priv
ileges o f a territory save a legisla
ture. Well then, th?- "S per cent of
Alaskans who voted directly for "ter
ritorial government," will expect Del
gate Wlckersham to supply the miss
ing link. ? Katalla Herald.
i'hilander Knox was anxious that
the salary of the secretary of state
!>?? reduced $4,000 so that he could
occupy the office without violating
the constitution. Where can one find
this cheerful spirit of self sacrifice
outside of jK)litics?
Before March i President Roosevelt
will bo warmed up to the pitch
where he can write a special message
every day. He averages about two a
w-eek now.
Some day laws will be passed com
pelling theatres to have safe exits.
The Mexico horror is another terrible
warning.
W.illam Howard Taft seems to be
unreasonable enough to want some
voice in choosing his own cabinet.
Skagway had an earthquake. We
are certainly iy> to date.

PLAYS STAGED
HI HE FORI
Capt. W. A. Reld. who is represent- 1
Ing the Helen Gould Y. M. Q. A. work
in Alaska, recently staged two plays
at Fort Seward for th?- entertain
meat of the officers and soldiers at
the post and of the residents of
Haines. The plays presented were
"Chrysanthemum" and "A i'roposa]
Under Difficulties," and both perform
antes reflected great credit upon the
caste and director. The parts were
taken by Mr. and Mrs. Held, Dr. Paul
Huttou and Miss Reynolds, daughter
of Col. Reynolds. The plays were
horoughly appreciated.
By the kindness of Col. Reynolds a
temporary stage has been erected In
one of the vacant barracks where
plays can be given and where "smok
era," under Mr. Reld's direction are
held from time to time for the en
listed men. These affairs do much to
break the monotony of the long win
ter.
Another play. "A Box of Cigar
?tts." will soon be staged at Fort
Seward and is it rumored with proper
encouragement there is a chance
that the ".Vtuateur Association" of
Fort Seward will present the play at
Skagwav. the receipts to go to char
liable purposes.

GAVE THE ANSWER.
A Soldier Who Followed the Order* of
Generzl Jackson.
niustraflv* of the exasperating ease
with which chickens oc< asiouully "come
home to roost" Is UiU story from "A
Soldi) ' s betters to Charming .Nellie."
Ou a day lu June, IS1*.', lu the early
part of the civil war t.eiieral Hood of
the Texas brigade halted each regi
ment lu turn and gave his orders. To
the Fourth he said:
"Soldiers of I he Fourth, I know as
little of your destination as you do. if.
however, any of you learn or suspect
It, keep It a secret. To every one who
asks questions answer, 'I don't know.'
We are now under the orders of Gen
eral Jackson, and I repeat them to
you."
General Jackson also gave strict or
ders against foraging, but apples were
plentiful, and it was contrary to nature
for hungry soldiers not to eat them,
and so it came about that on the
march to Staunton General Jackson
came upon a Texan sitting on the
limb of an apple tree busily engaged in
filling his haversack with the choicest
fruit.
The general reined In his old sorrei
horse and In his customary curt tone
asked :
"What are you doing in that tree,
sir?"
"I don't know," replied the Texan.
"What commaud ilo you belong to?"
"I don't know."
"Is your command ahead of you or
behind you?"
"I don't know."
Thus It went on. "I dou't know" giv
en as answer to every question. Final
ly Jackson asked sternly:
"Why do you give me that answer
to every question?"
"'Cause them's the orders our gen
eral gin us this mornln', an' he tole
us he got 'em that er way straight
from ole Jackson," replied the man In
the tree.
Disgusted with a too literal obedi
ence to his own commands, but yet
not caring to argue the polut. General
Jackson rode on.
Say Bill, what are you going to
wear to the Sourdough dance?
My hickory shirt of course.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
PROVED INVALUABLE
"My brother had eczema three dif
ferent' summers. About tho eamo time
each summer it canio out between his
shoulders and down his back, and ho said
his suffering was terrible. Ho used dif
ferent kinds of medicines that were said
to be Rood for that disease, but nothing
seemed to do him much good. When it
came on the third summer, he bought a
box of ( 'tit it lira Ointment and gave it
n faitliful trial. Soon he began to feel
better und ho cured himself entirely
with Cuticura and has never been
bothered with eczema since. Ho also
used Cuticura to cure a bunch over his
eye and a terrible corn which was so bad
that he could nol wear his shoe. A
lady in Indiana heard of how rav daugh
ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured hor little son
of terrible eczema by the Cuticura
Remedies. This lady's little one had
the eczema so badly that they thought
they would lose it. She used Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it
cured her child entirely, and tho disease
never came back. Mrs. Sarah E. Lusk,
