I In speaking of the future of the

optimistic, and says that while the
war is largely resporsible for the

present, just as soon as the Ger-}

He says that lode mining will com
to the front, as it has been proven
beyond a doubt that gold and silver
bearing quartz will be found in many
localities.
In the Mayo district the silver
properties are looking up fine, and
good looking quartz has been
struck in the Littla 12-Mile district

SAYS HK HAS HEREDITARY
CLAIM TO ALASKA
D. F. Whitney, proprietor of the
Hotel Imperial, at Calgary, Al
berta, was an arrival in Skagway on
the Princess Sophia last evening and
today made the trip over the White
Pass.
Mr. Whitney has a special inter
est In Alaska, in ss much as his
Grandmother Seward was a first
cousin of William H. Seward, the
f ther of Alaska, and he states that
he can distinctly remember his
grandmother make remarks about
her cousin's folly Jn buying1 the "Ice
Chest" from the Russians for
such a fabulous sum of money, and
that he would live to regret the
day that he induced his country t
squander such an enormous sum on
a tract of ice and snow.
YESTERDAY STEA3EER DAY
FOR PORT OP SKAGWAY
Yesterday was steamer day for
this oort four shios arriving- here.
The Harbor Boat Peterson arrived
up from Fort Seward at 11 o'clock
in the morning and shortly after

Hardly had the lines been made
fast to the wharf when the Prin
cess Sophia rounded the point and
steamed up to her berth.
Early ia the evening the Aiaska
Steamship company's big liner North;

gres had several hours in port.
The Princess Sophia is the only
ship that remained over; she will
sail tonight at 7 o'clock. Although

OUR LITTLE MEN IN KHAKI
We grown-ups used to smile to see the
boy scouts marching by.
With feet in time to beutlug drum and
heads so proudly high,
But since the war we've changed our
minds a little, huvo we not?
We have found "those kids in khaki" to
be Johnnies-on-the-spot.
How many weary miles they've trudged
In helping to revive
The Interest in the Liberty loan and In
the Ked Cross "drive,"
From alley and from avenue, from every
class anil creed
Came our little men in khaki when their
country was in need.
They have answered. Father Woodrow,
four hundred thousand strong,
To help you in your struggle to right a
frightful wrong.
From Yankeeland and Dixie and the prai
ries of the West,
xhe little men in khaki all are giving of
their best.
Our older lads have taken arms to free
the human race
Of war and all its horror. Have we
thought who'd take their place
At home—and in the trench? Who knows
how long the war may last?
'Twill be "the kids in khaki" who are
growing up so fast!
Annie Balcomb Wheeler.
SCOUTS IN FIRE DRILL.
Mi
Department Officials Everywhere Join
in Teaching the Boys.
SCOUT? MAN IS DROWNING!
The scout game of lifesaver Is a
first-uid game and should be played
often. Otherwise, when the real tiling
happens, some day, we shan't be
ready. Many a swimmer is drowned
every summer trying to rescue a
drowning comrade from having no no
tion of how to do it.
The game Is great fun and is played
with five teams of two players each.
There are two classes of players: the
"savers" and the "drowners." Five
drowners go out from shore a cer
tain distance and pretend they are
drowning. Five savers swim out to
bring them In.
It is unfair for a drowner to as
sist himself in any way once a saver
gets a hold on him. Any hold is per
missible, but care must be taken to
keep the drowner's head above water.
The first saver who brings his bur
den safely across the line is the win
ner. There should be a starter, who
will also referee the game.
There are many possible variations
to add excitement and try skill, as for
instance requiring the savers to ekln
off their clothes (or some of them)
after the starting signal is given.
SCOUTING KEEPS BOY BUSY.
Conservation of our natural re
sources is universally approved, but
of what value would material re
sources be unless we conserve the
moral, Intellectual and physical future
of the coming generation?
Prevention is recognized as better
and less expensive than cure. The
boy scout movement takes the boy at
that time of life when he is beset with
the new and bewildering experiences
of adolescence and diverts his thoughts
therefrom to wholesome and worth
while activities. Injhis manqer jhlB
character-DiuTdllig movement iiaa aoue i
much in numerous cities to diminish
the problem of juvenile delinquency.
We are at war. War brings a re
laxation of moral fiber, which Is dis
astrous to our youth unless ofTset by
powerful positive influences. Scout
ing is Just such a powerful, positive
counteracting Influence. Its program
offers the essential antidote for these
poisons of war.
GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS.
All signs and advertisements were re
moved from the telephone and electric
light poles throughout Mt. Clemens,
Mich., by scouts.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department awarded war service em
blems to 32 scouts In El Paso, Tex.,
when he visited that city to speak In
the interests of the third Liberty loan.
Scouts at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., col
lected beds and bedding enough in a
duy to qunrter the new company of
National Guardsmen from there.
GOOD TURN6 BY SCOUTS.
MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, command
ant at Camp Funston, awarded the
War Service emblems earned by the
scouts of Manhattan, Kan. Tills com
ing so soon after the general returned
from France, wounded, his presence
was an inspiration to the scouts.
Utilizing their knowledge of for
estry, scouts of Hardwiek, Vt., found n
woman who had wandered off Into the
woods. Two scouts in Barberton, 0.,
by their knowledge of resuscitation
saved two lives from death by drown
ing.
Scouts In Birmingham, Ala., collect
ed 50 large bunches of violets In the
woods and carried them to the charity
patients In the Womnn's infirmary.
Many scouts are Interested In the
class in aviation and airplanes at Man
hattan headquarters, 73 Madison ave
nue. So many former scouts are In
the regular army aviation service that
there Is great incentive to the young
sters to take up this branch of study.
At the time, that the German sub
marine sank ships off Nantucket,
scouts of Newport, R. I., transformed
their camp into a hospital for the sur
vivors.
Not so much Is heard now of the
submarine. And it Is now ancient his
tory that the submarine was to win the
war for Germany.
One feels at times that the 9editlon
law will not be complete unless It
contains a clause to protect the flag
from slacker kisses.
Another place where the Thrift
Stamp could do Its bit beautifully is to
act as a substitute for some of those
notorious election cigars.
A New York physician says the kai
ser has "the physical stigmata of de
cadence and is a criminal defective."
In other words, he's nutty.
Germany's statement that American
prisoners are treated like the others
is understood in all its horror by those
who have seen the others.
The millions of widows and orphans
In Germany will have their sorrow
softened by the knowledge that all the
Hohenzollern boys are safe.
It's a great world. Some newspa
pers give up enough space from the
war news to discuss the tetrahedral
hypothesis of the canals on Mars.
^Universal disarmament may be a
long way off, but we note that some
pacifist has Invented an elastic band
to take the place of women's hatpins.
A Swiss correspondent claims to
have discovered that the kaiser Is a
victim of hallucinations. It's funny,
what passes for news In some coun
tries.
Germany persists In considering
polygamy to build up Its population
after the war. But the returned sol
diers may hold they have suffered
enough!
Nobody can get out of Germany now
without paying three years' taxes In
advance. At that price we should Im
agine getting out of Germany would be
worth the mon^y.
There Is to be an awakening among
men capable of doing an honest day's
work at home before this war Is over.
The average slacker will be made to
understand not only that we are In
war, but that he himself Is part of the
great machine essential to victory.

rlrit Appearance of Dandruff • Fore
runner of Fnture Baldneia.
That such is the case has been con
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff la Ihe
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused
by parasites destroying1 the vitality In
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre
vented.
Newbro's Herplclde kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to its natural
softness and abundancy.
Herplclde is now used by thousands oI
people—all satisfied that It Is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day.
