Stop at the Dominion Hotel when i
Whitehorse and get home cooking
and clean comfortable beds.
We could make clothes
expressly for you here at home, but
a local tailor shop today is impractical
and unprofitable.
It has ao labor market from which to secure
desirable cutters and tailors ?
It cannot afford to install a modern plait
designed to reduce cost of production ?
It doesn't do sufficient business to enable it
to buy woolens direct from the mills ?
It cannot keep abreast of metropolitan styles
and workmanship.
Therefore, we send our orders
for fine made-to-measure clothes to
Ed. V. Price & Co., of Chicago.
We can take your measure the
same way we would if running shop?
here, and furnish you your clothes,
made as you want them, at 58$ less
than we could make them locally.
Won't you call today?

GUGGIES ARE
SCORED HARD
Prof. C. C. Georgeson, head of the
government experiment stations in
Alaska takes issue with the statement
recently made by George W. Perkins
regarding the coal land patents in Al
aska.
-Mr. Perkins, who is Pierpont i\Ior
gan's right hand man, stated to a re
presentative of the Alaskan that the
action of the government in holding
up the patents was hurting not only
the Guggenheim interests, but the in
dividual miners as well, and that he
had heard many protests against the
government's action since coming to
Alaska.
"The government is taking the
right course," Prof. Georgeson stated
emphatically last Sunday, "and if the
patents were not held up the Guggen
heims would have the entire coal sup
ply of Alaska gobbled up. Tin? gov
ernment is simply protecting the inter
ests of the people. Surely it is better
to delay the development of the coal
fields for a year or so than to allow
one corporation to take in total, one
of Alaska's greatest resources."
