EDITORIAL i:
OLl) GLORY
'America For Americans"
Ol.cc more Skagwav lias started
sumethh g, ana while there are a
tc.v ci'izcus o£ our town who do
no' tiiiuv as much, of the aims and
ambitions o£ ttse Skagway Alpine
club as they should, others of the
.Northloiid, these not residents of
Si.:-3\vaj consider the organization
of u c.'ub along the lines of the
£&ag\vay Alpine club, with similar
objects for existence in view as a
wuritoric us undertaking.
l,i soeating of the organization
i>* 'Le Sktigwaj- Alpine club, the
^>awscu Daily News prints the fol
ic wing editorial, which shows in
part how well the idea of such a
club was received in Dawson.
^et Dawson have an Alpine club.
The name sounds good. It smackss
o* fresh air, mountains, recreation
and all that goes to lure the tour
iit into the realms of his dreams.
It visualizes to him the Alps and
the vitalizing ozzone his aenemic
and wearied body craves.
The formation of an Alpine club
io singularly apropos at this time
l.tcause the world has just discov
ered that the Yukon valley is the
U.ill yon summer playground of the
continent. The tourist travel to
?he North the last two years is
coming ux> like a rising tide. Alas
h.-u coast steamship lines are book
ing thousands of travelers to the
North each season. The Yukon val
ley transportation lines also are
cutting into the trade. The Alpine
club will prove a valuable auxiliary
t^> the traffic, and every time a new
visitor comes into the territory
someone is benefited. Hotels, res
taurants, jewelers, fur dealers, and
public parages, all get a share or
'he money which the Visitor spends
locally. i
I* an Alpine club is properly
handled it can create a name for
itself tnat will make visitors from
the outside anxious to come and be
hold the local haunts of the club;
'o become members of the club, and
to carr» away with them momentoes
.iad pleasant recollections of the
Klondike and the scenic charms as
viewed from its heights and vales.
In the winter time the resident
members of the club would have
opportunities to improve their recre
ation hours by snowshoeing and
making pilgrimages to nearby
points. In the summer, trips to the
various domes to view- the midnight
s in, and to craTy out other under
takings would contribute greatly!
to the pleasure of lif© in this re
giou o° unequaled summer climate.
Soon the points of frequent visit
would become famous in the tour
ist world, and be a new lodestone
to the traveler.
\V!?>» Alaska and Yukon -winning
the reDUtation of a Switzerland and
a Scandinavia combined, it will
be god business from the tourist
standpoint Cor every northern town
to have an Alpine club. The clubs
need not confine themselves to out
door treks and eight-seeing expedi
tions. They can bo the medium of
many a practical service. They can.
bo the northern rotary and boost
ing clubs and a great deal more.
As evidence that this plan is not
chimerical, let it be said with all
crcdi* to the Gate City to the Yu
teSh—Skagway—j£at it already has
an Aloine club yitJi a membership
noH booming up toward 250. What
Skagway can do, Dawson can do.
Stars the ball rolling. Now is the
time.
LEST WE FORGET
The Ketchikan Progressive Min
er says;.
Have we registered? If not we
should bestir ourselves for the
time will soon be here when we like
to have a say in the selection of
the members of the council and
school board, and unless we do
register, we shall have no right, to
vo'e nor say anything after the
election. If a man is interested
enough to criticise the actions of
cur municipal officials, he should be
interested enough tp register, and
vote.
So far as the members of the
council are concerned, if it wasn't
for the fact that jye would like to
give the women a trial at the
municipal wheel, we would almost
be tempted tp suggest the election
o? the old council by acclamation.
So far as we know, they have
been a faithful bunch. They may
have committed some errors but wit
is perfect? However, it is up to the
people. But we do hope that the
women will take a hand; not only
as voters, but as candidates for
election to the council and school
board. . j 4 [J.

"Abolish tae Indian reservation
"Inaugurate the Indian colony!
"This is the solution of the
Indian problem. It will take years
to wora out, Hard, untiring effort
is necessary. The result Will be
tho emancipation e£ the red man.
Thus writes Gerard Van Pern is
missionary to the Spokane Chron
of Indians, in the Spokane Chron
icle.
' What the Indian needs to per
petuate his race, now dying out by
reason of intermarriage, is the in
fusion of healthy blood.
"The new colonies must not be
formed on the same plan as the
present reservation. Different
tribes must be grouped together in
one colony. The tribes must be
mixed—fused together into a new
race.
"I also would advocate the award
o' prises to the parents of large
families—a purse to the pareats of
seven srns, for instance.
"We must adhere to all white
laws of marriage. Under no circum-j
stances must relatives be allowed
to marry.
'•I would recommend that all
medicine men be imprisoned at
hard labor. The bright, industrious
young Indians should be encouraged
to study medicine from the white
man's standpoint, and bo gradually
wipe out the primitive 'cures' now
oracticed and believed in.
"Severe punishment should be
me*ed out to anyone guilty of of
fenses against the moral code.
"Persuade the tribesmen to use
the English language, even in the
absence of the whites."
WOLVES CAUSE FAMILY

FEEL LIKE
GIVING UP?
Many Alaska People On the Verge
of Collapse.
A bad 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 of it all.
Give the weakened kidneys need
ful help.
Use a tested and proven kidney
remedy.
None endorsed like Doan'a Kid
ney Pills.
Mrs. Louis T. Jarvis, 922 E. St.,
Sacramento, Cal., says: "Sharp
pains darted through my lodns and
between my shoulders. My back
was weak and lame and it wag an
awful task for me 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
aud pains."
Price 50c, at aU dealers. Don't
pimply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Jarvis had. Foster
