LET l'S ALL HELP
"CEORCJE DO IT"
Pick up any oue of the coamoj>oli
taii city papers, and you will find
011 the local news pages and in
the editorial columns reports* of
meetiugs of various civic and com
mercial bodies that have just ac
complished some manner otf better
ment lor its respective community.
Whai is the Skagway Commercial
club doing these days to bring to
the eyes of the world aaid tho no
tice of the investor oirr resources
and the possibility of Skagway as
a field of investment?
The Skagway (jooniuiunaai uuu
will call a meeting lor the purpose
of handling some matter which is
of interest to every business mau
and Tesideut of ihe city, and there
will not bo sufficient members pros
cut to transact business. We call
attention to the editorial which
follows which Is takon from tlie
Cordova Times. The business men
of Cordova are awake to the bene
fits that may redound to their soli
citation of the aid of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
Xo matter -how small a project
may seem to the Individual, the
busiuess men's clubs of the larger
cities are awake and solicit the
location of such a project in their
midst. Every prospect for new in
dustries is as carefully nursed in
the larger cities, as a life insurance
agent nurses a prospective risk. The
largest corporations are paying im
mense dividends from businesses
which gather iu the coin at 5 cent3
per gather, and it is the small en
terprises that count up in the end
and make the targe communities.
We have had several nibbles at
our resources, but our business men
have goue to the bowling alleys and
dances iu preference to attending
meetings of our civic clubs that
have been called to help land the
fish. In Skagway it has been a
case of "let George do it," and
poor old "George" has been unable
to row the boat, reel in the fish
and handle the laudhig net. Let us
all, therefore, get Into the boat
■with "George" and the first time
that a small fish begins to -wobble
and bobber, let us &U be up and
doing.

"COMMU X ICATED"
Each one has an idea of what
sort of enterprise could 1)0 induced
to locate in Skagway and why this
particular enterprise should locate
here. From this date on, we will
each day print an article under the
head "communicated" withholding
the writer's name if bo requested,
in which you are invited to set
forth your views on the subject.
Please confine your article to 500
words or less.
The first one foUo-JJte:
Skagway
Skagway is tho site for a great
commercial city. Beyond the snow
capped mountains a vast empire lias
awakened to life. Away beyond the
blue waters of Lynn canal are mar
kets with all the good things of
life. These good things can be
disposed of w the prospector, min
er and merchant, and ought to go
through Skagway, the only gate
way to the interior. A little acu
' men is only necessary to appreciate
' the situation held by Skagway.
The largest and most commodious
docks are at Skagway, and wher«
the rail meets the ship. Them we
go from ocean to river by rail, and
then we go by palatial steamer
from river to ocean. Where else
in Alaska has nature provided such
advantages?
Skagway today cam boast with
out fear of contradiction as having
the best and cleanest streets, the
most beautiful homes, the loveliest
t'lowers and best vegetable gar
lens, thb grandest and most pow
erful water systwn taken from a
lake one mile square, 5000 feet
