MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Ou the 6th of April, a little less
th.ui one month from today, will oc
cur tbeSkagway municipal election,
md it will be well for the voters
in the meantime to consider th-?
qualifications of those whom they
purpose supporting to represent
thnn for the coming year, instead of
putting off until the last moment
ihis important question. In addi
tion to the selection of seven mem
bers of the town council there
will le a director of the
public school board to elect, the
:erm of Martin Conway, who now
fills that position, expiring next
month.
So far us the memlers of the
town council are concerned, we are
heartily in favor of returning the
<n!ire present board (with the ex
ception of Geo. \V. Magee, who has
taken up his residence in Seattle I.
Th-ire is not a member of it who
has not at all times evinced the
racist lively Interest in <ivic affaire.
The board with the limited means :it
its commaud has made public im- j
pi-nements that are a decided bene-'
fit to the town, notably the com
pletion of the wingdiim in tho
okngway river for the protection 01
The town from floods, the building of
fhe arterial trunk line sidewalk b«»
i v-.en Second and Twenty-Third
streets, the construction of a fir*
! .'Se aouse on the stul< alley be
tween 22d and 23d streets, and in
•u'ditiou there have been many
things done that, while not so no
livable as those mentioned, are
of importance, neverthle>s.
Almost without exception, unless
out of town, each member has been
prompt in attendance i t the semi
monthly meetings, while in the
transaction of the business ot the
town everything has always been
i oiulucted harmoniously and with
■>'it friction.
i'o Martiu Conway, the retiring
director of the school board, we be
li"\e the thanks of the parents of
i!ie district are due for his effi
cient services in beh.ih" of their
children's welfare and educational
progress during the whole of the
Mine that he has held office. If
.Ur. Conway can be persuaded to
H'-cept the position for another term,
instead of putting in sor.ie one who
is .iOt so thoroughly in touch with
iiie work, we believe the school
" II be a gainer thereby.
THE Vl'KO.N ELECTION
The election for Yukon council
ors took place last ThursOay, .March
4tU, and the returns so far receiv
ed iudicate there will be six lib
• ri:l and four conservative members.
In the southern end of the ter
ritory, from which there- are two
Members returned, one, K. A. Dixon,
i.s a conservative, and the other, \V.
1- Phelps, a liberal. Mr. Phelps is
a barrister in WhitehorS", and has
i'llled the position very acceptably to
!; t constituents, this being, his
third term to the important office,
lie went to Whitehorse in 1900.
and has been there ever since,
prominently idontified in all public
affairs of his district.
Air. Dixon is equally well known,
having at one time been a member
o' the N. W. M. P., afterward a
ri'ot through the Whitehorse rapids
in the early days of Kloadike rush,
i' ad now, and for several years
1- i-st, in the hotel business. It
v:)l be his first term as Yukon
councilor, but judging from what
he has done In other lines of busi
ness, it is safe to predict that he
will make good in the public ser
vice.

New York, March 6—The first
industrial exposition of the "Made

The exposition is the direct result
of the recommendation of Mayor
Mitchell and Commissioner Ha-rtigan
Tor the instigation of plan to get
the people of the country better ac
ouainted with American goods.
The only requirement governing
the allotment of space was that the

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a AY ell
Earned Reputation.
For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kiduey Pills, and
read about the good work the/
have done. What other remedy ev
er produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthony Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, Wash., says:
"I had lameness across my kidneys
and headaches and dizzy spells. I
suffered from a constant backache
when on my feet. I tried everythin
but got nothing that would remove
tl a trouble, until Doan's Kidney Pill
were recommended to me. They
quickly strengthened my back and
xemoved the lameness. I was soon
able to skep well at night and got
up iu the mcming feeling refresh
ed, tustead of being more tired
when I went to bed."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simvlv ask for a kidney remedy—
get Dean's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Miller had. Foster-Milburn
