SKA6WAY S OPPORTUNITY AS POINTED
OUT BY ? MAN WHO KNOWS
The lecture last night si the hall of
the Arctic Brotherhood bjr Mr. C. L.
Andrews, formerly deputy collector of
cur.oms at th\s port acd now of Rag'*,
made a story that all Skagway should
h*ve heard, presented facts which if
not new to residents here at leuat calls
timely attention to them and gives spur
to the spirit of enterprise which Is so
disposed to take advantage of the natur
al attractions of location and surround
ing with which Skagway is so favored.
Th spe>ker ran his eye, so to speak,
over the immediate vicinity of this city
and pointed out how there are physical
wonders within a radius of a few miles
ofSiagway of a character that have
made Switzerland and Norway famous.
The fiords of Southeastern Alaska are
grea'er, said the speaker, than are
those which have figured so largely iu
the story of Norway, and the living gla
ciers of the coas\ some of them in the
Immediate vicinity of Skagway, are
greater far than those of which Swltz
erlan 1 boosts and which yearly call to
her mountains so many thousands of
travelers. The mountairs of the coast
are hIso higher and more imposing than
tbos-f of Switzerland.
That which adds so much to the at
tractions o' Swiizerland, h:r Alpine vil
'iges md picturesque peopie, are not
Uer-> to be sure but in their place are
the equally interesting natives with
their peculiar rites, customs and relig
ion ar.d a greaur variety of wild acimal |
1 fe and. besides, the peculiar sense of
n?arne^ o nature that so appeals to
the vis to*.
The speaker dwelt upon the necessity
of uroteuiug our wild animals from the
w -?otOQ destruction of tbe ruaa win the
gun that they might the longer remain
for the enjoyment of the man with tbe
camera and of the 9?itylent.
It Is for Sic*xway to take advantage
of ber peculiarly fortunate situation
with regard to these natural attractions.
Skagw.jy lies In the direct path of all
the summer travel to and from the In
terior. For the excursionist it is the
end of a long sea voyage where the pas
senger-- come ashore after several days
of confinement aboard ship. Tbcy are
In the humor, upon reaching here to
"strctch their lffgs." They onl.v need
a proper invitat'on to irduce them to
stay here a while. Besides it is here
they expect to God the thing they have
come so far in search of? tbe climax of
tbe wonders they h?ve seen pusstng in
review. To the average summer ex
cursionist Skagway represents the
further extremity of Alaska, i he near
part of which they enter at Ketchikan.
It is for Skagway to avail herse'f, and
take full advantage of that monopoly
which she has by right of location, of
ALL the summer travel.
Bob'* s&i'ors were the beat behaved
in the world until they got back icto
tbeir o*n country and ran up against
the gratter. Then they began to ex
ercise their fighting qualities.
When a girl had marriage arrange
ments of the most splendid and must
not tell about them for fear of her life
sht must realize what fearful draw
backs attend uron greatness.
The way to have Alaska appreciated
is to keep talking about hir resources
and physical and natural wondeis that
are now unappreciated.
The bill of least consequence to Alas
ka?the liquor license bill? is said to
stand a chance of getting through.
Now we ore to see which is the great- 1
er, the gavel or the big atlck. How
are you betting?

"Oh, why, mamma, for Eastertide
Do people buy the candy rabbit?"
"[ do not Know, my child," she sighed,
"Unless it be from force of habit."
"Ob, whence, mamma, the painted egg
We see in windows by the dozen?"
"Ah, do not ask me, child, I beg,
But go and osk your cousins."
"Oh, why, mamma, are hot cross buns
So popular at Easter seascn ?"
'They may be better than the ones
I bake? I reckon that's the reason."
"Oh, why, mamma"? But she forsook
Her child acd hied her to a college
To read an cyclopedic book
And freshen up ou Easter knowledge.

The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Fliur of Senna, the California fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine ? manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale |
by all leading druggists. Pricc fifty cent* '
per bottle.
We have ou hand only 30 cords Birch

She was the most terrible sight I ever

her to go to her mama, but thank God
and his agents, sho is alivo and well
to-day and sho will be three years old
the seventh of December and has never
had a sign of the dread trouble since.
"I used every known remedy to alle
viate her suffering, for it was terrible
to witness. Dr. C gave her up
and then I went to C J and got
Dr. B and he and Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment saved her. He
recommended the Cuticura Remedies,
or said we were right in making uso of
them. As nearly as I can remember,
we used eight cakes of Cuticura Soap
and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment;
but you must take into consideration
that "hers was an exceptional case, for
an old and good doctor said that it
was the worst case that had come to him
in forty years. I have alwavs hinged on
Cuticura Soap to keep her skin soft and
to give her a pure complexion. James
