WELCOME TOURIST
The City of Skagway welcomes
*o i's port the Tourists audi trust
that their stay with us my be such
a bappy one that they will urge
upon their neighbors in tbeStatts
and Canada to xaalu- the deli&tvLf ul
trip nest season.
Skagway has much to offer the
pleasure seeker. The trip to the
Summit is one that should never be
missed by the sight seerer. Its
dramatic seating tails to memory
the iron clad struggle ol the early
m ushers in their tnirsty greed for
guld when they m^usbed over the
trail bv the thousands, some not
made of the stuff that spells suc
cess in this rigid northland, some
who possessed that iron, "never
give up spirit," which drove them
on to the land of opportunity and
who now claim the rewards for
their difficult pionee»lng.
Sk.-gway offers the be>t town
site ia Alaska. Has the purest wat
er and surrounded by a most health
ful climate. A little jaunt up to
Lowe* Lake Dewey will offer a
sight never again to be held by
the sightseer—take Jt, it will be
more than worth the hike.
As a base from which to prooure<
native curios, Skagway cannot be
teaien. The stores are stocked
with a choice collection of native
products, something every tour
ist should have before returning
heme to remember, the little inci
dents of the northland.
Kir;: and foremost, however, we
welcome you to the northland, both
as visitors and as permanent citi
zens. We urge upon you to inves
tigate the opportunities ia Al-as
ka and upon your -return to your
homes, ask that you enlist in tbe
grea» army of boosters for our
caiibe. Only in the very Infancy 01
our pioneering, we need all the
support that csin be given us by
th»- government and men of finan
cial backing. Many are the in
dustries which eaa be successfully
maintained on the shores of this
scenic wonderland If you will take
the »ine and mu&e au investigation
of fho field.
Those wbc Te are net so for
tunate as to tarry longer with us w
bid a fond adieu, wishing, that it
will be our pleasure to greet you
on the opening f the season next
year in the Garden City of Alaska.
In Skagway, all citizens are a com
mit'e"* of one to see that you. en
joy yourself, ast all the questions
that you desire and we are more
than pleased to inlorm you of any
conditions that we may know.
THAT liEMU JOB
A movement is on foot amongst
some ot the influential leaders to
place Howard Taft on the Su
preme Beach. While there may be
men iu;t as capable of sitting on
•he bei«ch as llr. Taf, yet there
are none iu the public eye who
who have displayed the ability
along judicial lines as has the
former president and ex-jurist.
While the chances are very slime for
Mr. Taft to receive the appoint
m(-u' from Mr. W'lson since tie
party U bringing pressure to bear
upon n5m for tho appointment of
a democrat, yet bow true to the
party's representations would it
be if Mr. Wilson, would recog
nize the abilities of Mr. Taft and
appoint him to fill the vacancy.
Tho work of Mr Taft while he
was on tho Supreme Bench has
been equaled by few men of the
modern age. He la recorded with
being a scholarly jurist, far reach
ing and permanent In his decisions.
If Mr. Wilson could only feel the
pulse of the people he would read
ily see that the sentiment is with
Mr. Taft for the appointment. His
appointment would make six re
publicans and thr*e democrats on
♦he bendi. It is a sad plight when
politics will rule the courts, but
such must be aduiltted by all. Thie
J-s nrrt onlv true daring: democratic
administrations but ropuiblioaij as
well. The courts are too close
ly conneated to politics to truly
fill the brunch of tl*e government
originally intended they should fill.

OO-OPER IT ION
Skagway will be the hosts to the
Pan Handle towns and aeighiboi ing
Canadian cities ou July 1st in a
celebration. It is the annua] cus
tom to invite th- nearby cities to
join us in our Ju!v feuthites at
that time.
There is some goo<l stiff work
ahe.id for the city to make it a suc
cess. A celebration is a difficult
proposition to handle bo that every
one will thoroughly enjoy himself.
Let's make an effort to have things
ou the jump every minute of the
day. This is easier 6aid than done
—but a realization of this may be
possible if every oue will offer to
