H ILL SKAUWAY RESPOND
TO THK CA1X OF 1MSTKESS."
The uewa that was flashed over
the wires last week of the appal
ling disaster at Nome whereby a pro
perty loss of over $1,MOO,000 was
sustained aud many people rendered
homeless and destitute, has arous
ed the sympathy of the entire coun
try. That ouly one life was crush
ed out amidst the flying wreckage,
id ni.'raculoua and about the only
thiug upon which the people of the
stricken district have reason for con
gratulation. Mauy of the residents
of Nome hare seen the accumulation
of years of hardship and toil
swept away iu the twinkling of an
eye, and are now forced to face the
rigors of an Arctic winter without
a,ny of the comforts and but few of
the necessities of life.
In times past the people of .Nome
have responded nobly to calls for
assistance from cities and commun
ities that have beeu visited by firs
aud flood aud earthquake. At the
time of the disastrous California
earthquake the people of Nome
i outributed more to the relief of the
sufferers than any other city of the
same population in the country, and
the widespread movement now un
derway tor their relief is but a tit
ling recognition of their past liber
ality and help to others in the hour
of need.
lu outside cities, as well as the
towns and villages of Alaska, the
relief movement is going forward.
The Red Cross society of Washing
ton City has notified Mayor Jones,
of Nome to draw on it for $500, and
in Juneau, our next door neighbor,
ihe work is being pushed with vig
er, while the people of Skagway
have1 not taken a single step nor
given any attention toward a move
ment that should have aroused their
united sympathy and enlisted their
heartiest co-operation
Mayor Carter, of Juneau, as soon
us authentic news of the disaster
reached that city, sent the following
dispatch: I
"Mayor Jones, Nome, Alaska:
"Juneau extends symathy. Can
we aid you ia any way? Answer by
cable."
While Skagway has so far taken
no steps toward the relief of the
Nome suffeiers, we believe that it
has not been through a disregard
for their distress, but is due rather
to an oversight on the part of those
who an.e supposed to take the lead
in cases of emergency such as this.
It is not too late yet for us to
redeem ourselves aud show to the
world that although we are slow to
act our hearts are warm and our
purses always opeu to, cries of dis
aster. regardless of the section from
which they come.
The man and women who traveled
8,000 miles in Alaska can easily
qualify as experts on the transpor
tation needs of the northern coun
try, aud that is oue of the good re
sults of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce excursion.—Seattle Sun.'
An impromptu "pass the hat"
collection at the firemen's smoker
lust night netted the sum of $lt)u,
which will be send to the Nome
storm sufferers. It was only a
drop in the bucket when compared
to what will come lut<. r, but as it
came voluntarily the spirit which
prompted its donation emphasized
more thau words t::o boud of fra
terualism that exists in Alaska,
among Alaskans, oinccially In tiuie
of dire calamity.—Juneau Dispatch.

ALASKA SKA I. CATCH
The United States Government
through Secretary 01 Commerce Ked
field has just made a decision that
will make St. Louis tue fur center
of tue world.
That is, to change the sale of all
the Government catch of seal skins,
£o.\os and other Alaska furs, trota
London to St. Louis.
This is the first time iu history
that tile American seal catch has
been marketed through American
channels, and the action of Secrotar
* . ..m C\ Kediield is regarded by
die commercial organizations and
bureaus of commerce with-great fa
vor.
The United States thus will dis
pose of several thousand raw seal
constituting the 1913 catch. And
under the protecting laws favoring
the increase o£ seals, the sale win
increase many fold in tile coming
few years.
The uext step will be the removal
from Lor.dju to St. Louis ot' seal
skin tarnurs a..d livers, establishing
in America gr« -t new manufact
uring industry. ~
Thus will a trade of-great propor
tions be fostered. But more than
this it will na-an the elimination of
the present heavy duty now paid on
dressed and dyed skins prepared in
Europe; while the slcins will be
dressed and dyed in America just as
well, if not better, according to the
statement of the best European dy
ers themselves.
The economy thus effected by this
home industry and by the absence of
the former heavy duty will eventu
ally me i .1 saving of several hun
dred do!i s ;; - ( lit to milady in
'
furs.
On' the theory tint the average
German woman prefers an interest
ing mau to a handsome one. a new
industry is springing up in various
German towns. One firm advertises
tuus •' £ I my can you become inter
esting" Onlj by using our ointment
which will give you a wau, spiritual
look." Another concern is reported
to be doing a flourishing business
providing imitation scars, such as
decorate tUe cheeks of university
students w-ho indulge in stulr.it
duoliii;. The firm advertises that it
will produce the scars "without pain
or interruption to business." Close
resemblance to the real thing is
guaranteed in the advertisements.
