GET TOGETHER AND BOOST.
No man who sits in the sun anil
whittles a stick cau expect to gvt
the business. It's the hustler who
t) akes good.
The same is true of a town. A
town umst either go forward or lose
ground. The prosperous city of St.
Paul, .Minu., with a population of
more than 200,000, spent $50,000 last
year in advertising, in exploiting the
resources of the city aud the adja
cent territory. Minneapolis, Duluth.
Victoria. U. C., and other big cities
are following the good example,
'ihese cities get results.
Skagway was abnormally busy in
1S!>7 and '1>S. Since then business
lias slowly fallen off. Yet the great
undeveloped country to which Skag
way must ever be the gateway is only,
ii ts merest infancy. It was prac
tically uninhabited twelve years ago.
No one who has studied conditions
can fail to believe iu the future pros
1 erity and growth of Skagway when
.ts location and resources are taken
into consideration.
Hut at the present time Skagway
is sadly in need of advertising and
exploitation.
To this end a big majority of the
citizens, property owners and busi
ness men of the town have agreed!
;o meet tonight and form a Commer
cial Club, a body that will devote its
entire energies to the upbuilding of
the town, that will seek to harmon
ize all interests on a purely business
basis. Every successful city in the
United States has such an organiza
tion. It is essential to the growth
if any commuuity.
Not only cau such a body exploit
and advertise the town at a small
expense, but it can bring pressure to
hear in obtaining concessions from
the transportation companies, it has
influence with the men who make
cur laws, it can bring new industries
ti the country. It can aid the ma
terial development of the town in a
huudred various ways.
Tonight every man in Skagway
v ho has the commercial interests of
tUe town at heart should be at the
town hall at 8: JO o'clock and take
an active part in organizing the
Skagway Commercial Club. It is to
be exactly what its name implies: ? I
a club organized for commercial pur-j
poses. Politics will be absolutely
eschewed.
If the business men and property
owners of the town take au active
interest in the club and give It their
personal support results will follow.
It is too late to bring back the Al
aska Road Commission or to have
Fort Seward relocated in Skagway ?
for these two things should never
have left this town; ? but in the fu
ture much can be accomplished.
It's up to you, Mr. Business Man
aud Property Owner.
Come to the meting tonight and
help boost for a bigger, better and
busier Skagway.
So ought men to love their wives
as their own bodies. He that loveth
his wife loveth himself ? Ephesians,
Chapter 5-28.
That insane soldier who shot and
killed a captain and three privates
must have had a vision of the "Yel
low Peril."
The optomist may not be richer,
but he geis more out of life than the
pessimist.
That lion which ripped one of
Roosevelt's pals up the back has
the moral support of the reading pub
lic. So far the jungle trip* of the
tnlghty Theodore has savored strong
ly of butchery. It cheers to know
that the beasts score occasionally.
So far Delegate James NVlckershani |
has certainly delivered the goods.

But not thy winds that wander where I

Nor sun nor stars a-watch o'er plain and

One word may whisper of thy dntelcss

O magic land. In this memorial year
Give to thy cliffs and runes yet rarer

And make thy realm to all the world ;

Crowning Its glories with our Lincoln's
name!
Then will thy mountains prouder pierce
the sky.
Thy rivers grander roll to greet the sea.
And larger manhood lift thy standard

Sword fish.
Swordiish. though little eaten. Is
only excelled in delicacy by the far
famed fish of the Mediterranean.
Goodwin Sands.
Goodwin sauds, on the coast of Kent,
England, are so named because they,
in the reign of Edward the Confessor,
formed part of the lands belonging to
Earl Godwin, which in the next two
reigns were swallowed tip by the soa.
The Philippines.
The Philippines lie wholly within
the tropics, reaching at the south to
within degrees of the equator.
Fruit and Sugar.
Don't sugar the fruit that Is served
at the table, suggests a competent
housewife. Have your berries or
sliced peaches or other fruit nicely
prepared and set on the table without
sugar, because if any ef the ftuit Is
left the sugar will make It look unap
petizing if served at another meal.
Serve the sugar separately in a shaker
Poisoned Food.
If poisoned by mushrooms, decayed
vegetables, tish or shellfish, the accept
ed antidote is powdered charcoal, fol
lowed by two tablespoonfuls of castor
oil, followed by stimulants.
