DON'T WASTE IT
SMOKKS'
Other cities in Alaska have been
havin* thfir "stuoke" campaigns to
proviJe toMi'v >' for boys fighti:^
at the front. Skagway as yet has
iiad no campaign as such, but agreat
deal of tobacco has been sent by
individuals to the soldier boys. We
have ("one our share, and more too.
In Red Cross and other lines of
work, and the Alaskan feels that
Skagway will not be lacking in pro
s»tiiu cn tobaccv for our boys.
Witn this in mind we are writ
ing for material and instructions re
garding "smoke campaigns." and
we wish to announce that Skagway
goon will be called upon to do its
share In this particular. We sug
gest 'hat individuals provide a can
or box in a convenient place in the r
nomes or elsewhere, so that when
thev buy tobacco they can put an
equal amount of money aside to bf
senot on tobacco for our boys.
As we understand the i>!an, the
money is sent to an "Overseas
Tobacco Co." waich places a card
with your name on it in the can of
toWccc or package which you wish
to se'id, ar-d stating to whom you
wish »h« packet to go The receiv
er if the tobacco signs the card and
returns it to you.
We expect to anuounce in a short
tim» de/inte plans fur the campaign.
ADVICE TO HUNGARIAN* MINERS

adv-ertisiement urging loyalty of
Hungarian miners employed in this
country. The follojving is a transla
tion of the same ■which has been du
ly filed 'with the Xew York Post Of
fice with the affidavit which is
requred by law:
"la any country when war com
mences everybody belonging to the
country of the eaemv is interned.
"The United States has not done
this. It will not intern Hungarians
•o Ion? as they continue at work
and maJce no trouble.
"No one who does his.duty will
lose his job. Everyone will be as
well treated as if he were a citizen
of the United States, so long as he
behaves himself..
*'He will not be deprived of his
sarinjs or his property. Hungarian!
miners, therefore, have reason to
be grateful to the United States for
its generosity, v
"Hungarian miners can 6how
*heix rood will by working steadily
and quietly. This Nation and the
mine owner heartily appreciate the J
service of these Hungarian miners
who have labored steadily to get j
out 4 large cjuantitjr yf cleau coal."

HILL CIS m
FLESH FOB
Seattle—A complete cannery fo$
the packing of seal meat was land- I
ad at the Pribiloff island seal
rookeries by the United States fish
eries bureau steamer Roosevelt
which has returned here from Its
winter trip to the north. The gov
ernment will can for export all seal |
meat not required for the population
of the islands.
H. J. Christoffers, assistant agent
of the bureau of fisheries in charge
of the Seattle office, says that the
flesh of young seals is quite palat
able and tender, having the consis
and texture of prime beef.
It hns been used on the seal is-1
in.ii for many years as the ouly|
fresh meat available, while seal
brains and livers are of the finest |
quality.
"One would naturally presume I
that because the seals live on fish
their flesh would have a fishy fla
vor " said Mr. Christoffers, "but
this is not the case. The fishy fla
vor is all in the bones and for this ]
reason the banes are removed from
the meat before it is cooked. Only
the shoulders are used and a three-1
year-old- bull will yield from 50
to 60 pounds of choice meat. It
is *><» intention of the government
to preserve all the meatt of the
seals killed hereafter.
"All the parts of the seal carcass
will be used, making a high grade
soft leather, while the lining of
the throat is transformed into
very thin, tough leather."
"lhis year for the first time since |
1910. there will be unrestricted kill
ing o' seals by the government, and
it i? expected that about 35,000 will
be slaughtered, furnishing an Im
mense quantity of meat in addition
to the valuable pelts. In the Beven
years protection. the Pribiloff
seal herd has more than doubled, the
census of 1917 giving a total of
463,374. In 1916, 116.977 seals
wer<" born at the rookeries.
SHELDON" OPERATING

Rsberf Sheldon, the king of auto I

SHOTS FROM THE SKY.
Meteora That Bombard (Jt and the
Puzala of Their Origin.
Most persons have no com prehension
of the actual bom bard men t to which
the earth Is continually subjected from
the heavens. Mllllous of small meteors
enter the atmosphere every twenty
four hours, and In uddltion to these It
has been calculated that on the average
not less than a hundred large meteor
ites strike the earth somewhere every
year. The small meteors are totally
cousumed b.v the heat and friction, and
only their slowly settling dust ever
touches the earth's surfaie. although
any one Of thciu If not resisted by U19
air would hit with from twenty to a
hundred times the velocity of the swift
est bullet.
The big meteorites, on the contrary,
which frequently consist of solid Iron,
often i;et through the airy shield with
enougu of their original velocity left to
bury themselves tr.auy fee! in the hard
est soil. They constitute a real peril.
Although the chance of anybody being
hit by a meteorite is almost Intinltely
small, yet the annaN of mankind show
that a lew persous hate actually lieeu
killed by these strange shots from the
sky.
Whence do they come ? The small
meteors are apparently Hie debris of
those hardly less mysterious bodies,
comets, but nobody has yet suggested
a satisfactory origin for the great me
teorites.—Gariett 1'. Servlss in New
Yotk Journal.
HEROES OF THE SEA.
Thay Calmly Awaited Death With a
Song Upo.i Their Lips.
The British transport Tyudareus
struck n mine off southernmost Africa.
She began to settle by tlie head. Im
mediately "assembly" was sounded the
men put on their lifebelts uud stood at
attention till the roll was called. Then
the order "Stand easy" was given, and
they begun to sing as fervently as
though marching homeward on leave
through a lane of Franco or Flanders.
They were perfectly sure that most
of them would tind a grave In the sea
that engulfed so mauy of their fellows.
They had no ho[>e of rescue. They
stood exactly as the men of the Birk
enhead stood when they went to their
doom and their imperishable renown
off the same coast sixty-live years be
fore.
But the sequel by a modern miracle
was happily otherwise. Two steamers
summoned by wireless came an! towed
to port the fouudering vessel, with a
display of seamanship on the part of
the crews of ail three ships that has
maintained the British navy's proud
traditions.
The bravery of those who had al
ready given up thf>ir lives as lost was
just as sublime as if thut ultimate for
feit had been required. Wherever the
deed is known it will stir the pulses of
men, this story of heroism quite as ex
alted as auy that Homer or Plutarch
Immortalized.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Saxon*.
Saxon is from "seax." a sword, and
so the "Men of the Sword." In the
early days the Saxons took for them
selves such names as "Bloody Ax,"
"Skull Cleaver." "Death's Head,"
names which In no way belied their
original character. The "berserker
rage" of the old vikings spread death
and destruction all around the coasts
which they haunted, uiui by the terror
of their name they led the Christians
to put Into their Mi auy the prayer,
"Deliver us. O Lord, from the fury of
the Northmen."

OH! MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kitjqey
Sufferer
A stubborn backache is cau6e to
suspect kidney trouble. Whan the
kiduevs are inflamed and. swollen,
stooulng brings a sharp twigne in
t'e small of the back that almost
fakes the breath away. Doan's Kid
ney Pills revive sluggish kidneys —
relieve aching backs. Here's con
vincing proof of merit.
Mrs. M. Ho?mes, 1016 Indian St.,
Bellingham, Wash., says: "For quite
awill* I had a dull, heavy ache
across the small of my back. Often
•7'en 1 straightened after stooping,
sharn pains seized mo in my sides.
I hfd terrible headaches and dizzy
spells and my kidneyp didn't act
regularly. In the morning I was
always tired and worn out. After
I had used one box of Doan's Kidney
Pills I could see they were help
®ug me. My back got stronger and
mv lcldneys acted regularly." (State
ment given October 6, 1913.)
Ob July 31, 1916, Mrs. Holmes
said: "My opinion of Doan's Kid
ney Pills hasn't changed. I h&ve
always received splendid results
from them."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simplv ask for a kidney remedy —
got Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
tnat Mis. Holmes had. Foster-MH
