SKAGWAY NEEDS HOUSE
CLEANING
In all probability more tourists will
visit Skagway this summer than In
any preceding year. We want to
show these people a well kept, pros
perous town. To that end a uiuuicipal ;
house cleaning in Skagway would be
?>f great benefit.
There are many worthless shacks
iu this town which serve no purpose
save as eye sores. Why not tear a
few of these down-.' To do this will
improve the appearance of Skagway.
will lessen the dauger from the spread
of fire, will decrease the taxes of the
property owners, who are payiug tax
es on valueless improvements.
There are also many unsightly back
yards ? and some front yards ? iu this
towu which ore offensive. Clean
them up. It won't take long and it
adds greatly to the appearance of
your property and your town.
Let's get together and clean up the
town. It's sadly in need of it.
The "bulls" and "bears" are fight
ing in the wheat market and as a re- j
suit wheat "futures" are selling at a
fcout $1.23 a bushell. Next fall when
the wheat is harvested and ready for
the market the farmer, who actually
product* it, will be lucky if he gets
W cents. This ttfemplifies the evils
of gambling in stocks.
Not content with taking about $U>.
?MiO.OOO with him when he left Ven
zuela, Castro, the deposed president,
has returned to South America ami is
planning a revolution which will put
him back iu power. Some people no\?
or have enough.
A Denver bishop delivered a ser- 1
mon in which he scores the bachelors.
Why is it that the married men and
women are the only ones to attack
the poor bachelor? Is it because
"misery loves company?"
Despite the fuluiinatious of "Uloomy
Gus" O'Brien of the Juneau Record, |
there was no opposition to Mayor Val
entine and his associates on the coun
cil at the municipal election.
With five members of the Citizens'
ticket on the council, harmony is in- 1
sured for the next year. The voters
of this town made a wise choice.
In these days of the Marathon rac-j
ing craze a good distance runner can
make more money than a bank pres
ident.
Chasten thy son while there is yet
hope, and let not thy soul spare for
his crying. ? Proverbs, Chapter 19 ? 18.
Home rule for Alaska.
Be cheerful.
THE KIND A MAN WANTS.
"Vnes. Jack. I'm married. No; you never
-*- met her.
She's not much like the girls In our old
set.
Not up to their smart ways. Why. she's
old fashioned.
8he never even smoked a cigarette!
fellows.
?With manntrh *ays and strong athletic
grace.
80 muscular that when they're dressed In
laces
And pouring tea you feel they're out of
place.
"VrY wife does not belong to club or
congress.
SLe s never tried to be a howling swell.
She never bet a cent on any races.
I never heard her give a college yell.
TTER voice Is sweet to read aloud of
evenings.
To sing low lullabies or simple ballads.
She loves to cook not fashionable dlahee
Like lobster what-you-ca!l-lt or queer
salads.
BUT things a man likes? biscuit, bread
and doughnuts
And soups and meats? to eat and not
for show.
She's Just a loving wife and good home
maker.
And that's the kind a man wants, don't 1
> you know.

Looking Ahead.
Tho winter has departed.
And summer's on the way.
So for your brief vacation
Arrange without delay.
t-oo* up an auut or cousin
Who owns a pleasant farm
And write a friendly letter.
It can't do any harm.
Hotels aro so expensive.
And then tho average fare
They hand to summer borders
Will make a fellow s.vear.
But with your own relations
The time is better spent.
You cat the In-st and freshest
And never pay a cent.
And then your country cousin
Is honored l>y your call.
He likes to hear the stories
And quips that you let fall.
His wife just dotes on cooking.
And. added to their crew.
Another will not matter
For Just a week or two.
So look up your connections
Of whom you oft have hear1
Perhaps a distant cousin.
A second or a third.
The problem will be easy.
Kor you can summer there
With just a little present
And simple railroad fare.
