Sir Henry C ampbell-Bannerman, in
a recent speech, which is taken ?, out
line his administrative policy, has g v
en the people of the tight little uJe
totuething about which to thin
newspapers interpret his remark to
aean a complete reversal of the policy
ot his predecessor in many things. He
plainly intimated that he would chance
the course which caused the retirement
of Lord Cut zon as viceroy of India, am
the prediction is freely made that Ge~
eral Lord Kitchener will be recalled
from there. Sir Henry believes so he

In so many words, also, that it was ,
purpose to put a stop to the Import^
tion of Chinese coolie labor to South I
Africa. The premier also declared
that he believed that all questions con
cerning the uniting of the peop
should be left in the hands of the p?

It u quite evident that, while he Is
now ruling with a conservative parity
ment behind his liberal ministry, Sir
Henry has not unlearned U?e:PoM c.
principles which he imbibed when Glad
stone was the leader of his political
party.
These declerations of the new prem
ier become more important in w at
thev portend when one takes into ac
count that A. J- Balfour, late premier,
now opposition leader, in a recen
speech freely predicted a liberal vie

Everybody in Skagway should con
tribute something to the fund to defray
the expenses of Gov. Swineford at
Washington. Gov. Swineford was
Chosen to rt present Alaska at the
national congress, daring the preset,
session, much aga nst his wi ?
would be far more convenient and much
more in accordance with his tastes for
him to refrain fn-m leaving Alaska^
That being the case it is not fair to as

his own expense. But we need him

national capital is filled with men who
are there for the purpose of advancing
some special interest. We should have
one man there, whom we know beyond
question, to represent the masses of the
people. There is no man in the dis
trict better prepared to puncture
schemes and expose misrepresentatives
than Gov. Swineford. Let us send him
to Washington.

DOING WELL
Skagway College Boys Mak
ius: RecorJs
Skagway's contingent at Whitworth
college, Tacoma, are making records,
not only in the school work, but in col
lege athletics. In a letter from the col
lege, Edward Wildt, who was graduat
ed last spring by the Skagway public
school, among other things said:
"Alaska was well represented in our
second foot ball team, which holds an
admirable record Thomas Kunnalls
ar.d Cleon Ask played positions on it.
Tom was at center and Cleon played
left tackle. Both are deserving of
great credit and should make the first
team next year. Among the several
victories of the second !team was the
game in which the Vashon college team
was defeated by a score of 5 to 0."
Eddia Wildt likes his college and
says all the Skagway boys there are do
ing well.
MAVW IL
Moiiey for Alaskan Rua-ls
Not Improbable
The word comes from Washington
that congress might appropriate a large
sum of money for Alaskan roads. In
fac", it is believed to be probable that
it will do so. The sum eskad for is
$1,000,000 but whether that mnch will
be granted at one session or not is not
being considered carefully by those who
are do:ng the guessing o i the subject.
The request for the appropriation of
$1,000,000 for Alaskan roads was made
by Secretary of War Taft after he had
discussed the matter with Major Rich
ardson, president of the Alaskan ro d
commission.
Major Richardson is now in Washing
ton and will remain there for some
time.
CAINE SHIPS fOR
SAN FRANCISCO
The steamers Bnckman and Watson,
the new shps recently purchased by
Captain E. E. Caine of Seattle, one of
which, the Buckman, is now at Seattle,
will caJry cargoes of wheat from Seat
tle to San Francisco on their first
vuyages, but the company refuses to
make any statement regarding what
route the vessels will go next year.
It was announced at one time th.it
these ships were intended for Alaska.
ON TIME
Time ami Tide Wait For No
Man
You don't need to have anybody wait
for you when you carry one of our time
pieces.
If a man choses to carry an inaccu
rate timepiece,
THAT'S HIS BUSINESS.
If he prefers to get a new one or have
his old one repaired and made accurate,
THAT'S OUR BUSINESS.
And we know onr business thoroughly.
An inaccurate timepiece may cause one
a world of inconvenience. It may cause
the loss of many dollars, or even a loss
of life.
When time is in dispute the watch
from Kern's decides.

FOR WOMEN
AND WOMEN ONLY
Much That Every Woman Desires to
Know About Sanative, Antiseptic
Cleansing and the Care of the
Skin, Scalp, Hair, and Hands.
WHAT CUTICURA
DOES FOR WOMEN
Too much stress cannot be placed
on the great value of Cuticura Soap,
Ointment, and Pills in the antisep
tic cleansing of the mucous sur
faces, and of the blood and circulating
fluids, thus affording pure, sweet, and
economical local and constitutional
treatment for weakening ulcerations,
inflammations, itchings, irritations,
relaxations, displacements, pains, and
irregularities peculiar to females.
Hence the Cuticura remedies have a
wonderful influence in restoring
health, strength, and beauty to weary
women, who have been prematurely
aged and invalided by these distress
ing ailments, as well as such sympa
thetic afflictions as anaemia, chlorosis,
hysteria, and nervousness.
Women from the very first have
i ul ly appreciated the purity and sweet
ness, the power to afford immediate
relief, the certainty of speedy and
permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy which have made
Cuticura the standard humour rem
edy of the civilized world
TORTURING HUMOR
Cured by Cuticura.
" I suffered five years with a terrible
Itching eczema, my body and face be
ing covered with sores. Never in my
life did X experience such awful suffer
ing, and I longed for death, which I
felt was near. I had tried doctors and
medicines without success, but my
mother insisted that I try Cuticura.
I felt better after the first application
of Cuticura Ointment, and was soon
entirely well. Mrs. A. Etson, Belle
