" Eczema broke out in a rnh in

spread to my lingers ana

1 so intense that I scratched
and my hands were red
and inflamed. I had to
wear rubber gloves while
doing my housework, and
cotton ones at night. I
lost several hours' sleep each night
on account of the Irritation.

Alaska should not be a land of

With a modicum of the helpful

twenty years, Alaska would today
be'a proud and 'populated and pow

Instead it Is a sparsely-Inhabited,
scenically beautiful, unknown Terrl
tbVy, struggling against hard odds to
be appreciated and understood, yet
still flruring in popular fancy, due
to misleading text1 books of genera

story, In this twentieth 'century, of

Happily a new and better and

Condemnation of bureaucratic- con
trol under whfcii the Territory has
languished and its growth been re
tarded does not imply criticism of
the bureaus, as sucli, constituting
the system. The valine of their ex
pert service is not gainsaid or ur. ler
estimated. But as administrative
agencies, operating independently
five thousand miles away from gov
ernmental base, they ipe.ltft'ily pro
duce confusion, conflict aud delay.
Obv'ously, a consolidation of sucli
bureaus under ono department, with
centralized authority in Alaska and

therewith of an Alaskan clearitm
house at Washington, would improve
and expedite service. The cji.ipli

deer Industry is rapidly exte'fdlng
and is greatly facilitated by the op

Native agricultural products, as
the Territory sotties up, will supply
the needs of a large population and
it is within reason to believe that. In
course of years, Alaskan meat and
dairying products will figure largely
in the outside markets of the world
The agricultural experimental sta
tions have rendered a magnificent
service to the territory in its retard
ed infancy. The farmingpossibili
ties of the great interior, added'to
fishing, mining and timber resources,
strengthen faith to the permanent
future of Alaska.
A potent sign of the times Is the
opening of the Agricultural College
and School of Mines at Fairbanks—
the first Institution of higher and
technical learning in the entire
Northland. It starts with a sm'iill
enrollment, but under bright aus
pices.
Tourist Facilities Inadequate
The tuurist season of 1922 Was
especially significant and would have
been more successful but for in
adequate steamship accommodations.
Combined, the American aiid Can
adian liners carried 5,537 tourlstd,
an increase of 2,095 over the number
tta 1921. The bulk <jf these traVeled
on the foreign vessels, the Princesses
mailing from Vancouver to Skagway,
and operating in connection with the J
White Pass Railroad to Lake Atlin'
_.nd the Yukon. Reservations were
exhausted on all the steamers early
.n the season until its close and Al
askans frequently experienced diffi
culties and deluys in securing accom
modations.
Two vessels only or the American
companies cater to tourist travel,
and, us they do a large freight bust-'
uess at the height of the scaoon
prolonged slops at canneries to dis
charge and take on cargoes, and un
:ertaiu schedules, mar the comfort
jnd pleasure of passengers 011 sight
-eeing beut. The Canadian Company,
yii the contrary, with well advertis
ed, modern ships equipped and
adapted to please tourists, provides
a short, but attractive itinerary and
maintains its schedules.
Whether by one boat or another,
ihe Journey through tbe scenic seas
jf Southeastern Alaska is o( Incom
1 parable charm, and discomforts and
| delays are quickly forgotten; but if
1 Alaska is to become the Summer par
adise of tourists, as it ehoutd be, up
to-date facilities and accommoda
tions must be provided. It is Am
erican shortsightedness that permits':
Canadian enterprise to preempt a
growing business in Alaskan waters'
properly belonging to America.
A deplorable phase of the trans
portation situation as uffectlng tour
ist travel is that American travelers
in large numbers are routed through
to the British Columbia boundary
and the Yukon, getting pictureique
glimpses of an important stretch aud
strip of Alaska In passing, but see
ing and learning little of Alaska as
a whole. Few tourists go westward
to Seward and take the trip over the
Government Railroad to the coal
fields and into the interior where
development is under way and great
Alaska is to be found.
The United StateB Shipping Board I
undoubtedly could And profitable
use (or two tourist steamers iu Al
askan waters three months In the
year and should not only cover the
inside passage, but proceed across
the Gulf of Alaska to Resurrection
Bay and Cook's Inlet, giving touripts
opportunity to go over the Govern
ment Railroad to Fairbanks and re
turn, Such a tour, with its unriv
alled scenery, if attractively adver
tised as are the tours to South
America, would bring Alaska thou
sands of visitors and greatly benefit
the Territory. The transcontinental
American railroads manifestly would
gain largely by promoting such tours
and cooperating with the steamships
and the Alaska Railroad in effecting
through passenger traffic arrange
ments.
Once tourist travel is systematic
ally sought and properly cared for,
Mt. McKinley Park will become a
popular resort and hotels along the
coast will speedily bo provided.
Two tourists' steamers should thus
be operated, beginning In 1923, by
and through the existing Alaska
steamship companies or the United
States Shipping Board direct; and
an Intensive preliminary advertising
campaign be inaugurated at once.
Americana are today craving the ful
est opportunity to see and know this
wonderland and the North.
The ateiihSh'lpB In the handling of
regular freight and passenger traffic
during the season have rendered a
generally satisfactory service, with a
minimum of eonfplaints. Often they
haV'e beeii' -pressed" to capacity, yet'
kept "their schedules fairly well.
Freight rates have beon cut in some
Instances—notably in making it pos^
slble for the one pulp mil! in Alaska'
to resume operation—and further
gradual reductions will be effected
under revised rate classifications in
conjunction with the railroad.
River Transportation Problem.
Steamer service on the Yukon, be
low Dawson, has been so greatly cur
tailed since the completion of the'
Alaska Railroad as to cause serious
hardship to communities along the
great river. It is of the utmost im
portance that freight and passenger
facilities be provided during the
navigable season. Otherwise vasi
sections will be out of reach of the
necessities of life and rendered un
inhabitable. The situation is urgent
and acute. Unless the government
ia willing to put on boats and oper
ate them in conjunction with the
railroad the only apflkrent alterna
tive is to induce private enterprise
to establish and maintain a line of
steamers, between Dawson and Ne
nana, at' least, by means of'liberal
subsidy. It is truo that this wduld
redound to' the berfeflt' of the White
Pads System,' wliWh found the river
business below^'DaWgoli unprofitable,
but' this Would' be* overbalanced large
ly "by' lmHiedlHt'e" benefit's' to Ameri
can'settlers "in Alaska.' The aban
donment 6f the Yukon as a means of
transpurtatlon"~would be disastrous.
It is a natural route uiid feeder to
the railroad. The General Jacobs,
an army boat,' operating from Ft.
Gibbon (Tanaira), furnished relief
during the season to river points as
far atf Eagle, nut trOops have now
been withdrawn from' Gibbon and
continuance of this boat service is
uncertain. Action is imperatively
required, preparatory to the naviga
tion season of 1923. As llu White
Pass is "interested only in carrying
traVeTers "to and from Dawson, a
toWrtSt15 traffic' - arrangement by In
side Passage and over the While
Pass, down the'Yukon to Tanana and
thence by" tire Tanaiia River to Ne
Bana and by rail to Fairbanks, and
but over the Alaska Railroad to An
chorage and Seward, with returning
(jcean trip'by Outside Passage is
difficult. Manifestly, however, it
would be a most popular tour and
teems to offer possibilities of profit.
• Improved river facilities on the
lower Yukon below Tanana are also
leeded.

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of It in Skagway But Daily
Growing Less.
The kidneys ofton cry for help.
Not another organ In the whole
body more delicately constructed.
Not one more important to hea'ih.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be 10 health where
there is poisoned blood.
Backache Is one of the frequent
indications of kidney trouble.
It is often the kidneys' cry for
help. Heed it.
Read what Doan's Kidney Pills
have done for overworked kidneys.
Proof of merit In the following
statement:
Z. H. Brott, Elgin, Ore., says: "I
had kidney complaint and suffered
from a dull backache and sharp
pains across my kidneys. Mornings,
I was lame and stiff and the action
of my kidneys was irregular, belhg
at times too free. I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills and used them; They
rid me of the backaches and put my
kidney^ In good order. Three boxes
of Doan's cured me."
