No where on the Pacific Coast 1>
there a more Interesting spot or pro
fltable place for tourists and sight
seers to make their headquarters tha
lu Skagway. Nearly every phase of
Alaska's commercial and industrial llf
exists here, either on a large or smal
scale. Every tourist should spend a
few days In Skagway whether bound
for the Interior or not, and take In
the numerous side trips lu an lnex
pensive and comfortable manner.
Ing Is reasonable and the comforts
are modern and up to date. Hotels
are steam heated, electric lights, tele
phones, baths, complete water sys
j terns, and meals are the best. ^ ou
| can take the train for a distance of
five miles out of the city and after
forty minutes walk be at the foot of
one of the largest live glaciers in Al
aska, called Dnever Glacier. It Is an
arm of the great Taku Glacier and ex
tends for more than an hundred mile
Into the mountains. Under the care
ot competent and watchful guides you
can scale the face of this huge ri
ver of moving ice and have an unex
celled view of Its receding grandeur
Yes, you may spend hours looking
down thousands of feet Into the lie
and examining Us crevasses, tinge
by the sunlight into every opalescen
hue. Or you may stroll to the marg
of the mountain and cull beautlfu
flowers that grow on the very verg
of the Ice. while you listen to the
purl of the glacier streams tha
streak the mountain's side like silver
ribbons amid the forest's green.
After you have examined the glac
ier to your satisfaction you would
enjoy taking a launch at a reasonable
rate and visit all the historic and
scenic places adjacent to Skagway
probably you would like to visit tta
old town of Dyea. the "Deserted Vll
lage." with Its antique old shacks o
forlorn appearance, that housed seve
ral thousand people in the early da>?
You might be Interested In the old
Indian town of Chllcat. or possibly
see the Indians at work In Smuggler'
Cove, so named because It was th
port through which whiskey was
smuggled when Skagway was In her
Infancy. You would like to look a
the wreck of the old sailing ship "Ca
ada" in Fort.me Bay ? or you might
care to gaze upon or climb the fam
ous and historic Chllcoot Pass where
many lives were lost In the pioneer
days. Mount Dewey, Mount McKlnley.
and Face Mountain wait for you to
scale their dizzy heights if the fas
cination of mountain climbing that
made Switzerland famous appeals to
you. The scenery from the tops of
these mountains is unsurpassed,
sometimes above and sometimes be
low the clouds, you are always af
forded a magnificent view of the var
iable scenery. Then there Is Reed's
falls and the old cemetary where
rests the remains of the once notor
ious "Soapy" Smith, who by intimid
ation, craft and crime, ruled Skag
way in the early days. The story is
a long and Intensely Interesting one,
and many of the old timers delight
In telling the tale. Now, all there Is
left to recall the escapades of this not
orious desperado Is the plain wooden
head board peering through the tan
gle of vegetation that has overgrown
his grave. The dirge of the wind, th
murmur of the river and the roar of
the Falls alone break the stillness of
that (lulet spot, save when a passing
locomotive shrieks a reminder that
civilization now reigns In the route
to the gold fields, and that the un
lawful struggle for wealth has sub
sided Into a peuceful and law-abiding
community.
Possibly you may want to land a
forty pound salmon In the bay, or fish
for trout at Burro Creek, In the lake
on the first bench to Mount Dewey,
or in the Skagway River. The beautl
ful mountain trout at Burro Creek of
fer splendid sport to the angler, and
while there you could not help being
appreciative of the beauties of the
scenery and the rushing cataracts
surrounding old "Joe" Beauchamp s
homestead.
How would you like to visit and in
spect a cannery In operation? Let us
go for a few miles down the bay in
our launch and we ara at tho Colum
bia Cannery. Hero we see the won
derful and fascinating process of
catching and canning the "sportive"
salmon. From tills Cannery nlone,
thousands and thousands of boxes
are shipped to the outside every year.
On your way home you will stop at
Haines Mission, an historic old town,
and you will also wish to visit Fort
Win. H. Seward, where the -2nd.
Regiment of Infantry is stationed.
You will want to make the trip to
tho Swiss Chalet, 1500 feet above
sea level as it Is only forty minutes
climb from Skagway, and offers you
an unsurpassed view of this vast and
beautiful valley. Here you will be
supplied with everything necessary
for your comfort.
Hav you ever seen the Northern
Lights? This meteoric phenomenon
throws its arches of light across the
heavens and assumes myriads of col
ors to tho awe and astonishment of
Its spectators. Sometimes soiuber ami
steady It shoots Its luminous rays
toward the zenith, then assuming a
wavy appearance she rises out of the
horizon like the Goddess of Morning
' and swishes right and left us though
she were the "Merry Dancer."
You have of course heard of the
"Nlghtless Days of Alaska?" How
during the midsummer season a news
paper or book may be read with ease
at midnight, or a kodak picture ta
ken as late as eleven o'clock at night.
There Is much to do and much to
see in Skacway. You can be in con
stant touch with the outer world b>
the U. S. Cable. You may read the
daily paper, the oldest In Alaska, and
wo have an Ocean Boat service dur
ing the Bummer season on an average
of every thirty-six hours, as well as
! a train Into the Interior every day.
| You'll not get lonesome, but will be
j made to feel at home by getting ac
quainted with the people.
YOU HAD BETTER STAY OVER
FOR A FEW DAYS.

He never U bothered
For money In hand.
When duty Is calling
He seizes his grip
And starts In the night
On a world trotting trip.
On one minute notice
He turns like a crank
And flies, waiting not
Till they open the bank. ?
His terrible troubles
Are ones of the heart
And forcing the villain
In wrath to depart.
Finances are never
The slightest concern.
He always has money
Around him to burn. '
Ho cannot be bothered
With trilling affairs.
For dollars are always
Tho least of his cares.
He lives In a world
Whero then'* nothing to show

To make the wheels go.

There Is more Catarrh In this sec

eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to bo in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case It
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
