boosters
The booster is the man whom
ovei vone must admiro. It ia be
who is iu the th'ck of the) fray.
U is . iso he who places his shoul
der t,> the jvheel and pushes with
all his might for the betbermeu of
his towu and social conditions.
Sutae people are content to Jet
things drift as they will; a boost
er goes to the rooot of things,
places t'Jem on a permanent basis
and works day and night for the
accomplishment of some purpose.
How many boosters have we in
Skagway? Let us hope that we are
-U boosters. Where one makes his
bread and butter aud maint/ina his
home is certainly deserving of a
boo.-1. I-et's get that new commer
c: .1 riub spirit and place Skagway
10 the front. There is no reason
in the world why our town shall not
be ihe leading city in Alaska. We
have the harbor, the beautifully lo
cauj landscape 'or the building of
that pl:'ce. Make it a special point
to become acquainted with the OP:
1> >rtu:iiites that exist in our own
a.ids . He who always looks for
jr.een-rr fields is a TOver. A rover
Lever accomplishes anything of a
permanent nature.
The i'ollars iu this town will
mul'i.ly fast providing you do all
of .our trading -Aith the home mer
chant. When you pav a dollar for
someM-.iiig In this place, that dol
lar, uia» times out oi ten, comee
back 'o you.
The butcher, "he linker, the dry
i:oods man, the grocer and the drug*
gist a;l employ help. They pay
rent aad truces. In 'urn the home
nie.vli ut pays out hi3 dollars. Some
o' then are sure to come your way.
When you spend money out of town
it just takes it that larther from
cTculation here.
Isn't it true that the home mer
chants can supply your wants?
Don'' you 'ake a Ion? chance when
>ou fend your money out 0/ this
icwn? By trading in youT mllst
you cm ke^p the dollar in this
i-ood ol i town. The home institu
tions are here to stay. They are
a par: of the city. Trade with
them. They are deceiving of your
s>uppo;t and are capable of turning
out a better article at that same
price. When you buy out of town
you buy a "pig in a t>oke," when
you I uy in 'own it means immediate
delivety. There are no tedious
waiu. You then avoid hauling,
waiti.ii', breakage aud disappoint
ment. ' . | .
ALASKA STATEHOOD
Aii'bka, with its general develop
ment ot material resources, is not
tuilir.g, also, to develop a very 'n
teresting political fight ia which
statehood, Territorial self-goveru
uient m«U Delegate to Congress
Wickers-ham axe tha leading issues.
Democratic newspapers and Ihd
politicians are generally unrespon
sive to the demand for statehoo 1,
us proposed in the pending W'idke;"
iham bill. Alaska democrats are
ulr^ady well cared for in the pres
ent form of government, and statj
Looa might disturb this desirable
condition. They are not to he cen
sured, therefore, for looking up
on Mr. Wickersham's efforts with
&ume indifference. The last word
——^
spoken by the democratic territorial
convention declared for full terri
to-|al government, and statehood at
such times in the future as Alaska
acuulios 200,000 population.
Delegate Wickersham ia a candi
date for re-olection, and deserve*
to win. The campaign will bo'
fousbt largely on the statehood lo
sue. The country will await tho
outcome with some interest. Alas
ka's luture is ia the hands of the
stron< men who have helped devoid
it In the past ^"hey have suffered
the hardships and borno the bur
dens,, oi>d to them must be entrust
ed the shaping of its more im
mediate fuutre.—P. I.
:
Have yoU tell it? Haven't you
noticed something tugging at your
teln^,, lite •h'epnllof a locomotiva
taking the steep grddos Of a moum
taiuous, incline? That's it, its
the npw spirit trying to give vent
«o ♦stlf. Its the new boosters
spirit, the spirit t&a> cannot be
conquered, ft ■ftrattts to accomplish
something. G-ivo it a chaace. Ex
pand, grow, make the best thats bo
fore you. It takes little to be a
man. Follow that all dictating
voice within you, which spurs you
on to the accomplishment of bet
ter d^eds.
An Easier Job.
Harris Dlcksou tells of an old negro
mammy who was kept from starvation
by the white women who gave her oc
casional odd Jobs to do. Mrs. Dickson,
the writer's mother, had found some
housework for the old negress. but aft
er working a day or two Mandy said
she must quit.
"I done hare to go out collectin" for
de missionary society," she explained.
"But 1 have work for you to do." said
Mrs. Dickson, "and you n^ed all the
money you can get."
"T know," said the old main my, "but
I done haf to collect foh de missionary
society."
"What do you get paid for collect
ing?" asked Mrs. Dickson.
"I don't get paid." said Mandy. "1
only gets what I collects."—Green Book
Magazine.
An action was brought against a
farmer for having called another a
rascally lawyer. Au old husbandman,
being a witness, was asked if he heard
the defendant call the plaintiff a law
yer.
"I did." was the reply.
•Tray." said the Judge, "what is your
opinion of the Import of the word?"
"There can be no doubt of that." re
plied the fellow.
"Why. good man." said the Jodge.
"there is no dishonor In the name. Is
there?"
"I know nothing about that," an
swered he, "but this 1 know—if a man
called' me a lawyer I'd knock him
down."
"Why, sir." said the Judge, pointing
to one of the counsel, "that gentleman
Is a lawyer and that, and 1. too, am a
lawyer."
"No. no," replied the fellow; "no, my
lord; you are a Judge, I know, but I'm
sure you are no lawyer."—Wit and
Wisdom.

Tobago and Tobacco.
It Is now generally n^reeil that tte
word tobacco Is derived from "tobago."
which was an Indian pipe. The tobago
was V shaped and-usually consisted i f
a hollow forked reed, the two prongs
of which were fitted into the nostrils,
the smoke being drawn from tobacco
placed in the end of the stem. The 1
land of Tobago, contrary to the belii f
of many, did not furnish the name fi r
tobacco, but, on the other hand, it was
given that name by Columbus, owing
lo its resemblance in shape to the In
dian pipe.—Philadelphia Press.
NO REASON FOR IT
You Are Shown A Way Out
There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
tures of an aching back, the an
noyance of urinary disorders, the
pains .i..d dangers of kidney ills
will fail »o heed the word of one
who has used Doan's Kidney Pills
aiul found relief. The following is
convincing proof.
W. C. Johnston, 1021 Mill St.,
Salem, Ore., says: "I was afflicted
for »wo years with kidney trouble,
caused by exertion and colds set
tling on my kidneys. 1 had pains
iu my buck, across my kidneys. My
back ached at night and was lame
in the morning. 1 tired easily and
felt lauguid and nervous. I also
huf< aeadaches and dizzy spells and
my sigh*, blurred. 1 finally began
usH'.r Deans Kidney Pills and I felt
better after 1 had taken one box.
I stlil use Doan's Kidney Pills
once in awhile, when a cold set
lies in my kidneys and they never
fail to help me."
Prict 50c, at all deale.s. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
ge» Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
tha» Mr. Johnston had. Foster
