YOU'RE HERE AND WE'RE HEllE
Figures do uot lie. 'Tis an old
adage, and wo believe it, and you
believe it, and now that we are
agreed, at last cn one subject, we
are to call your attention to
a fact that we cau prove by figures.
Skagway real estate is valuable—
and will be moiv so each year. This
is proven by the figures of the
printed "delinquent tax list," jvhich
this year shows taxes remaining
unpaid on 114 parcels of land. The
list for 1913 shows 229 pieces up
on which the taxes remained unpaid
at the em' of the year.
There can bo but one solutiou to
this—the owners of Skagwav real
estate appreciate the fact that it is
valuable, and worth paving taxes
on, and it is safe to say that the
owutrs of tho 114 pieces this year
are iguoraat of the condition here.
Duriug the past six mouths thoj-c
has been more activity in real es
tate iu Skagway than during any
yeax fcr several years previous,
and he prices were better. It has
been a difficult matter to secure
houses during the summer, and
those persous who had foresight
and confidence enough to remodel
and prepare for occupany small
houses for rental purposes have
not bten disappointed during the
past summer.
Skagway has a future, and that
future is bright and sunshiny, peo
ple are coming this way, and Skag
way will be like the little Ford,
"You cau bust out a tire, then
wrap St with a thong, and "Little
ole Skagwaytown jviU grow right
along."
WILVT DID WE DO—
WHAT WILL WE DO
The article appearing in another
column ot this paper setting forth
the fact that Alaska is showing by
example to the world at large the
va3tuess of its rich resources,
briugs to light the fact that such
an exhibit was made possible
through the concerted action of the
Paciiio Coast Steamship company,
the Alaska Bureau of the New Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce, and the
Chambers of Commerce of "various
Alaska towns.-'
This brings to light the further
tact that fhe Skagway Chamber of
Commerce has had nothing to do
with this exhibit.
We might apologizo for this
fact by 6tating that when, the re
quest tor co-operation from Skag
way was made, we boasted of no
such organization as a commercial
club, but that does not lessen the
fact that jve Bhould aoyr be get
ting ready with tho idea In mind
of taking part in some similar en
terprise should we be called upon
to do BO.

Would it not bo well 'for our com
mercial club, therefore, to tako ad
I vantage of theso quiet days when
the merchants and business men
J of Skagway have more leisure time
j than iu the summer, and devise
jSome moans whereby Skagway may

For over two years tho columns
of the Daily Alaskan, have flowed
from the pen of, or should wo say
the keys of tho typewriter of Mr.
A. M. Rousseau, and you have liked
his paper. However, time causes
changes, and sometimes we wish to
ge» out of a rut, aud thus it is
with Mr. Rousseau, for jvith the
hands of the clock at 12 midnight,
October 31, Mr. Rousseau's con
nection with tho paper ceased, aud
his resignation, which has boon in
the hands of tho publisher for al
most one month, became effective.
Just how the result of the tapping
j of the keys at others' hands will
suit you time alone will tell, but
we shall strive to coutinuo to give
you all tho new3 all the time, and
well—wo will let it go at that. j

Hamburg'* Urtiquo £«r+y,
Ilalnburg possesses a steam ferry of
a somewhat original typo, for the main
dock inn be raised ami lowered by suit
able machinery In order to tnko up a
difference of level of some sixteen feet
TUe largo Htructunil I'm me work rises
to a considerable height and Is Intended
to guide tbe wbole platform In Its ver
tical movements. By ttio use of pow
erful electric winches It Is possible
to raise and lower the deck as a whole,
even when it Is loaded with numerous
heavy vehicles, such as aro used In
landing material nt the port The rea
son for adopting this arrangement of
the deck lies In the fact that at the
Hamburg port the difference In tide
level Is considerable, so that when the
boat lands at the wharf It la by no
means on tbe same level at all times
and in the ordinary case the heavy
vehicles would be obliged to mount or
descend a steep Incline. It Is in order
to avoid this drawback that the pres
ent type of ferry was constructed, and
as the movable deck can always be
brought flush with the level of the
dock, the vehicles can now run off In
the ordinary way.
A loving heart Is the beginning of all
knowledge.—Cariyle.
