SKAGWAY DID HERSELF
PROUD
Skagway did herself proud at yester
day's election. The voters of the town
oast their lot with the candidates who
stood for self-government without
question: for those who represented
issues:for those about whose candidacies
there were no hidden traps or unseen
wires, and they voted with a unanimity
that is rarely equalled in a country
where every man acts for himself.
The vote could have been some larg
er?probably 50 or 60 persons refrained
from casting their ballots who should
have done so, but when it is considered
that there was little revalry, and that
none of the candidates were local !
people, in whom all the voters took an
Interest aside from their public duty in
the premises, it must be admitted that
a good showing was made.
Skagway's vote will count for more
in the summing up than will that of
most of the towns for the reason that it
was thrown one way. A majority of
200 is a large one for a town of 1000
votes. Skagway did better than that
for her favorites, and she had to cast
only 26$ votes to do !t.
At the time of writing this the returns
are to meagre too know with certainty
the outcome of the election, but it is
safe to says that Skagway will not lose
both of her candidates.
One of the most pleasurable results of
yesterday's voting was the handsome
tribute Southeastern Alaska paid to
Governor Swineford. The practically
unanimous support of Skagway and
Haines has been backed up by sub
stantial majorities at the Gastineau
channel cities. That is an endorsement
that was worth while, and one that
gives a very proper rebuke to the small
bore enemies of the ?rand old man
who has led Alaska's battle for freedom
for two decadas.
Too much credit; cannot be given the
section men of the White Pass who
came from their work yesterday at an
an expense of time and effort to them
selves that was cot inconsiderable, to
cast their votes. They showed an
interest in public affairs that was pat
riotic in a marked degree.

A Wonderful Compound Cure* Pilf ?. t
Lczemu. Skin Itching. Skin
Eruptions. Cuts and
Bruises
Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obsti
nate cases of eczema. It cures all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. 1?
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abrt.
siuns without leaving a scar. It cures)
permanently.
M. Sullivan, employe! in the street!
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at 735. Portland O.-eg.. !
says. "Doan's Ointment is without |
any exception the best preparation on j
earth for the purposes for which its use
is indicated and fiom my own experience
I know that it does all that is claimed
for it. For two years I was troubled j
with the worst kind of itching and I
bleeding hemorrhoids. I tried one .
remedy after another and even sent
east for a well known medicine, and was !
.rested by physicians, but I got no re
lief until I learned about Doan's I lint
meat. I procured a box and the first
application gave me relief such as I had
not eperienced for two years. I con
tinued the treatment for three weeks,
when I was completely cured, and since
then I have been free from the torment
ing affliction. Whenever I hear anyone
complain of being annoyed with piles I
never fail to tell them what to do to get
cured. I would willingly give J20 for
a oox rather than to suffer one night
like I did before I used Doan's Oint
ment."
