an, many Portland business men see in
the recent raise in freigh' rates on tie
Southeastern Alaska run an opportuni
etj tor their city to get in on the Alas
kan trade. The Oregonian, of recent
date, gives the position of honor to a
long story of the dissatisfaction

more of the local steamship companies
and the opportunity it affords for the
establishment of a steamship line from
their city to Skagway and way porta.
The Portland chamber of commerce
has appointed a committee to look loto

Dickey Out of Pos-toftUv, Mr*.
Sampson Snee^etisi
M. O. Dickey has retired from the
Skagway postofflce and Mrs W. B.
Sampson, wife of the postmaster, has
succeeded to the position which he has
filled. There will be extra help when
boats are in port. The ch;n;ejwas due
to a rearrangement in the office allow
aoc * for clerical hire.
Hetetofore there has been an allow
ance of $2400 per annum for clerk hire.
The allowance was larger tban usual
with offices of the size of that at Skag
way for the reason there is so much
mail to handle here for the interior. It
has been Postmaster Sampson's custom
to divide this allowan e between two
men, M O. Dickey and A. E. Kindell,
who have received $100 per month each
"The allowance now is ihe same as in
the past, except that it is differently
arranged. The postmaster is allowed
one clerk at an annual salary of $800.
He is allowed in addition, for the separa
tion of the mail, $800 for six months,
or 1133.33 per month. Mrs. Sampson has
been appointed to the $?00 clerkship,
Mr. Kindell will continue to draw down
$100 a month in the separation or dis
tribution department and $33.33 will be
allowed for extra help whtn boats are
in and there is much mail to distribute.
Mr. Dickey has not determined what
he will do.

LITTLE ONE
ONE SOLID IE
Covered With Scales and Scabs
From Head to Foot ? Doctors and
All Other Remedies Fail? Skin
Now Smooth and Clear,
ANOTHER WONDERFUL *
CURE BY CUTICURA
Writing under date of Sept. 7, 1904,
Mrs. Mattie Shaffer, of Cumberland,
Miss., says: "Some time ago I or
dered and received your wonderful
Cuticura Remedies, which I used on
my little afflicted babe with wonder
ful results. I had tried many other
remedies without any benefit what
ever, and Cuticura came to the rescue
when my doctors and all other rem
edies had failed. One doctor pro
nounced it scrofula, the other eczema.
The little one was one solid sore, with
scales and scabs from head to foot,
when 1 started using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. The result was won
derful, and now my baby's face and
body are (smooth and clear."
(Signed) Mrs. Mattie Shaffer.
THE DUTY OF MOTHERS
At the First Sign of Disfiguring
Humors Is to Use Cuticura.
Every child born into the world
with an inherited tendency to tortur
ing, disfiguring humors of the Skin
and Scalp, becomes an object of the
most tender solicitude, not only be
cause of its suffering, but because of
the dreadful fear that the disfiguration
is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it
becomes the duty of mothers of such
afflicted children to acquaint them
selves with the best, the purest, and
most effective treatment available,
viz.: the Cuticura Treatment, consist
ing of warm baths with Cuticura Soap,
and gentle anointings with Cuticura
Ointment, the great Skin Cure. Cures
made in childhood are speedy, per
manent, and economical.
Cuticura Soap. Ointment, and Pills, are told throughout
the world. Potter Drug & Chem. Corp.. Borton, Sola
