"<;KT TOGETHER" MXXEK
The "Get Together" informal tfiu
n»-r at the Pullen House last night,
gotten up by Dr. L. S. Keller in ho i
or of what Mr. H. Wheeler was
pleased to term a "trinity of gener
al managers," of which he was cn«\
I'ol. W. L. Stevenson another an I
W. 1>. Greenough the third, aul
to which were invited about 30 busi
•»«-?s'men of Skagway, was all hud
uiore than its name implied, and we
believe the gathering, although in
significant iu numbers, will have a
strong teudeucy to unify and bring
together interests in the community
that have drifted widely apart
(■rough inanation brought about by
the loug period of business deprts
sion which the northern country has
!>e <n undergoing rather than through
lark of the adhesive elements which
go to bind the infinite and diver
sii'iei! parts of a business communi
ty into a complete whole.
While several of the business
:u n of Skagway gave short talks
on mutter., of timely local iu
:e.e*-t. the remarks deserting of tiiu
greatest amount of attention were
tliose of a comparative stronger to
Ska"way, but whose advice, if
followed out will enable us, througli
our o*n efforts, to raise ourselves
far enough out of the quicksands
of business despondency which we
have ;Ulowed to engulf us, so that

:ii>-1• i■ e that is surely coming with
in o'!r rtsich at no distant day, and
which will enable us to drag cur
s"lvt<s to a firm foottold cn the e'u
si\ island of prosperity.
»'o' Stevenson in his remarks
mule no references whatever to
iii-nst-lf or to the intentions of the
i-ompaii he represents, except to
s«y tiat he would do everything >ii
lus newer personally to advance the
inte'vsts of Skagway, and he stat
ea t^.c people of the town, through
their commercial club, could always
<te,H%tid upon him for assistance in
the furthance of any plans now
uiuler way or in the promotion of
n"\v ones for the general good.
fu> believed in an active, ag
gressive and thoroughly organized
commercial body Tor the town, and
very much favored a re-organiza
tion of the present Skagway com
mercial club. To show he was
thoroughly in earnest in the course
h-> advocated last night. Col. Stev
enson this afternoon announces
there will be a meeting tonight be
tween the hours of 7 and S o'clock,
at the headquarters of the Hargrave
M'niiig & Engineering Co., corner
Eighth and Main streets, for the
purpose of effecting such re-organiza
tion, to which all the business men
of Skagway are invited.
Col. Stevenson stated that the
visit of Dr. Ingersoll to Skagway
last summer would bear fruit in the
arr'val here during the coming tour
ist season of at least 75 of 'bat
geutlo-man's friends to whom he
har1.. ou his return home, spoken
glowingly of his visit to Alaska,
t'nereby arousing an interest in the
northland that can only be satisfied
oy personal observation. ^
He also spoke of a big Eastern
motion picture concern which is
miking preparations to send its
representatives to Alaska shortly
for the purpose of taking views of
everything of imerest that can be
found, tha films of which will be
exhibited and lectured upon through
or* the United States and Canada
under the title of "In the Heart of
Alaska."
The opportunity for the citizens
of Skagway to meet and get ac
quainted with the working heads of
Ihreo important corporations—one
of which embraces rail and water
transportation, and is a feeder for
a portion of Canada as well as the
whole of the interior of Alaska tri
butary to the Yukon river, the oth
er two representing large capitaliza
tions for the exploitation and devel
opment of Alaskan and Canadim
| mineral deposits of both placer
•ind quartz, was brought about by
the individual efforts of a private
citizen of Skagway, ivho, for this
exhibition of public-spiritedness, nl
though it is not by any means his
first along the same lines, we be
lieve, is deserving of appreciation hy
the entire community.
That he was unable to include a
greater number in his invitation
was a matter of -regret, but una
voidable on account of the short
notice in which the affair was got
ten up, and the lack of facilities
for handling more people.
QIARAXTIXE VICE
Detroit. Mich., March 12—Quar
antine as a weapon against the
social vi-e is an innovation which
may be tried out in Detroit. Police
and health board officials, who
have been co-operating in a plan
to check the spread of disease re
sultm° from wide open conditions in
i the red light sections, are about
rea'dy to launch a new campaign,
it is hinted.
The ?iew plan, which is expeil
mental in nature, will be the quar
antining of any resort which is re
ported to the police as a menace.
The quarantine method, it is
jaid, will be employed as a substi
tute* for tue old police method, now
discarded. of closing up resorts
svhicji fa'led to comply with the de
partmeut's regulations providing for
registration and medical inspection,
or which failed to report inmates
sufftrii.g from disease.
"Officix-ly," Detroit has had no
vice section for the past IS months,
the resorts having been closed by
order of Police Commissioner John
Gillespie, in October 1913. It is
an open secret, however, that the
polic» 'iav« found themselves unable
•mder present conditions, to cope
vith the scores of vicious houses
that are operating openly in many
sections. To meet this new condi
tion, without officially recognizing
the failure of his "elimination" or
der, the commissioner is said to fa
vor a trying out of the quarantine
plan.
Under the proposed new method*
any Tesort that is considered a
menace, will be quarantined by the
health officials, placarded and in
other ways treated as though small
pox or some highly contagious di
sease existed there.

ALL WRONG
The Mistake is Made by Many Al
askan Citizens.
Look for the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
If it's weak kidneys
You must set the kidneys working
right.

Mrs. Kliza Harris, 813 Emerson
Ave., Hoqnlam, Wash., says: "For
several years 1 was bothered with
kidney trouble, especially in the
winter. The pains and dull, heavy
i'che in my back were very severe. I
tad other ailments which showed
that my kidneys weren't doing their
work right. Doan's Kidney Pills
relieved the kidney trouble and the
backache left me."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, a» they cannot reach
tfeo diseased portion of the ear. There la
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous 'lining of tha Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and When It is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its nomial condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot b»» cifK'd by Hall's Catarrh Cure,
