Today we are printing an article
ich tells what Juneau lias al
iuy don* to care for these dis

tudeur of the scenery, which is
le a wonderful asset in the

vii'a other portions of the
iu for ideasure seeking travel
I. .velers to tlie north do uot ex
it to find the perfect accommoda
t; in this new land of wonders
f. tiie.v find in cities huudreds of
■ rs old, nor do they expect to
a the ccn-di.tl hospitality that is
■o;ded them when they arrive
Iul cutter of accommodations is

vtd by tiiae, and us those select
: the north as their objective
tut lor a summer's trip, when
:j arrive iu the far famed land
sola and glaciers, prospectors,
a a:.J they are surprised
find even a semblance of up-to
•e hotels, automobiles, good shops
i numerous other prcol^ that they
: still in a land of civilization,
ey are surprised to find that J
• only difference between the]
trcj'Clitan cities of the north
1 tae huge commercial centers of
: states is the size. In the
ies oi the states they have hun
•ils and perhaps thousands of
.els and restaurants. Here they
0 less of them, but the hotels
1 restaurants are equal in pro
•licn to the size of those of the
sjest cities. Here they find the
omobiles, the same kind as are
ven on Fifth Avenue in New
rls and Third Avenue in Seattle,
c they are fewer in number,
the citjes of the states are the
ge department stores. Here we
e fhe department store on a less
scale, but the stock is none the
i complete to meet the needs of
frcutiersman. as well as the
rist who does mo3t of his ghop
S at Fields in Chicago, or the
x JIarche in Seattle. In the
es of the states, the citizen or
rist looks high up to the eigh
teenth story of a sky-scraper, whose
dome is obscured from view by
clouds of smoke which changes the
marble, concrete or atone to a dir
ty dingy alate color, while here in
the north, the citizen or tourist
looks away *o the pnow capped
mountains, reflecting a silver slieeu
from the golden sunlight.
He forgets &U about the stock
marke*. where bonds and wheat is
the ail-absorbing topic and willing
ly listen to a story o£ bow a pound
trou*. was taken out of sucb and
sul-L a stream trickling or roaring
down such and sucb a mountain, or
he listen# with an interest all too
apparent *o a story of bow a
great moose or caribou or grizzly
was killed witb a single shot.
Her ladyship Touxist forgets
ulans for dinners, where covers are
to be laid for sixteen and bow |
her dinner gown is to be cut in
wandering about, possbily unaccom
panied, from one flower garden to
another, and she is overjoyed wben
sho is courteously invited wittu*
tiie gate by the hospitable wife 01
the northerner and presented with
a bouquet of pansys sparkling witb
dew or a beautiful cluster pi
blooms plucked fresh from a vari
colored bed of asters or dahlias
Soon this lady of fashion is brought
back ta earth and joins in a sis
terly conversation witb tbe woman
from trie north, and it is a safe
bet tha\ this woman, from ber pal
ace on Fifth Avenue in Hew. York
C:tv will tell in her social circles
on her return of the opeui hearted
hospitality she had received while
in Alaska, while sha would not
taluk of mentioning the courteous
treatment she had received at the
h«nds of som$ clerk or bell hop in
a hotel in Chicago or San Francis
co.
Now we have arrived at one 01
the greatest assets of which the
North can boast, HOSPITALITY.
That is it. That is what has made
the nervous, discontented resident
ol the crowded centers of Kultur
«d United Stated look to Alaska for
relaxation and recreation. Here
is where Dame Nature beckoins to
all, and here is where all those who
are tired with the strife of battling
lor a very existence in the states
will come for REST.
New then, let us all organize in
an effort to make Skagway the
rncst cordial and the most hospit
able community in all Alaska, and
it* us take steps at once to pre
pare a reception for the Alaska Bu
reau. There will be ladies and
gentlemen. Ther© will be the
need cf Skagway ladies joining in
the movement. Let us all act,
and tonight when Mayor Ashley,
vice president of the Sfcagway Com
mercial Club calls the meeting to
order, let every man or woman who
is a member, as well as those who
would like to become members, be
present to make plans for the en
tertainment of not only th§ Alaska
Bureau, but the horde of strangers
who are booked tp visit us this
summer and put out hospitality to
the tes^.
ICE BOUND

coldest days they had. this winter.
Everyone was well and hoping the
weather would turn warmer. It
was the lower limit of the ice field.
On the 27th and 28th the Bame
launch, bound to and from Bear
Cove, encountered ice that bad
(fritted off the flats, and thiB field
extended from Homer to the Yu
kon islands, but easy to go through
aud would not delajr a large vessel.

FEEL LIKE
GIVING UP?
Mary Alaska People On the Verge
of Collapse.
A ba<i back maks you miserable
all the time—
Lame every morning'; sore all
day.
It hurts to stoop— it hurts to
straighten.
What with headache, dizzy spells,
urinary weakness.
No wonder people are discour
aged,
Who do not know the kidneys
may be the cause o£ it all.
Give the weakened kidneys need
ful help.
Use a tested and proven kidney
remedy.
None endorsed like Doam'e Kid
ney Pills.
Mrs. Louis T. Jarvis, 922 E. St.,
Sacramento, Cal., says: "Sharp
pains darted through my loins and
between my shoulders. My back
was weak and lame and it was an
awful task for m© to sweep or do
any work about the house. I felt
tired and exhausted. Headaches
and dizzy spells added to my dis
tress and the action of my kidneys
annoyed me day and night. The
kidney secretions were unnatural.
Doan's Kidney Pills strengthened
my kidneys and relieved the aches
and pains."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Doai't
Simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Jarvis had. Foster
