'America For Americans"
THE C.UJL TO AKMS
1 lie President of the United
S:'tles has recognized thg news
papers throughout America as the
means of asking loyal citizens to
take up their .Nation's cause and of
i.r to their country their services
iu 'be trying ordeal with which the
l iiiicii States is confronted by. the
whole of civilization.
•Man made fighting apparatus has
been tried out in the great con.
x.i._t which has torn Europe to
Lru<:» ior more th-m two years, and
'lit prettjr taLfc that ytar would be
o. sac it duration, on account of
at so wonderful instruments of war,
has Lecn disproved.
Wonderful strides have been mad
' y man for the prevention of war.
- uveutiomd have been perfected cal
culated to do such tremendous
dnmage in a given time that it was
L j icved that ivar could last but a
slu-rt time.
All tins bag beau proven iaise.
flit s,t&it guns o£ lbs French, the
lirii.ali and the German inventors,
ti:e iiuga iighting ships o£ the aa
lijns oi the world, the airships,
with. their wonderful destructive
force, the submarines, all have fal
len down in. their scope, and it is
y^w up to niaa to fight, hand to
U:uiu, in the greatest w»r that has
•-•ver shaken, the world to its utter
most center.
inur country needs men. Ships
directed from a tower perched up
on u prominence overlooking the
i-u, and controlled by an unseen
force, must be manned by men.
f t\€ men—Loyal men.—Men who
a;c willing to sacrifice their lives
on the altar of their counrty if
needs be. The call has been sent
ou\ In every city and town** and
::am!et throughout the whole Un
iJu this call is today ringing forth.
I.ike Paul Revere, riding in the
iiishc, summoning our forefathers
'o arms, today the newspapers thru
out the United States are calling
for men to fight the fight of figfcts
for our Nation and out Homes, and
our Honor and Humanity .
Ycur country needs you; let as
not be slow in responding to its
call, if you do not know what you
are supposed to do in ordeT to of
1'or your services to your country go
to -Martin Conway, postmaster at
Skagway, be can inform you. Go
:> 'he United States cable office,
a:d taere you will receive informal
tion. Your questions will be sent
to Fort Seward, where the recruit
in?' officer will give you all infor
ticn. The United States govern
ment, the greatest government in
the whole world wants you, and she
:• u not overlooked details whereby
when you offer your services you
will find no way Of letting her
know that you are ready to go.
The navy noe<'s men, and offers
excfiDtional advantage to young' mem
of stpff and ambition to serve in the
first line for National defense.
Our President has striven; for
two yea'rs to keep us out of tjiis
war. He has fought a good fight.
Let us now prove that he is OUR
President by; responding to his call
for men for our army and our na
vy. We have all claimed that when
the call came wa could show the
world what Americans axe made o£|
Wo aTe now asked to do this. We
have been, called.
ANOTHER HIGH COST FACTOR
If all the grain were used for
food produce that now goes into the
manufacture of liquor there would
be no talk of the shortage of things
to eat in the oresent emergency. If
the country -really wishes to go on,
aa efficiency basis of preparedness
(and that is the only basia tbat
will count in the long run) kt, this
I waste be prohibited.
MAYO MP IS
10 BE OPED
Administrator George Williams
has received a telegram -from Ed
Reeves, of tie firm of Manly, Ives
& McGinn, says tha Dawson, News,
stating that the company has secur
ed title to the Silver King sil
ver properties in tha Mayo district,
and is planning to do extensive proa
pecting and development wor. He
also asked if the government can do
something to assist in, the work,
Tlie administrator states that he
is making an effort to get a second
diamond drill from Ottawa for the
Yukon, and that if such is granted,
which he has every hope will be,
that it will be at the disposal of
the new company and otters ^ho
ca> wish to work in the Mayo dis
trict or elsewhere in this part of
the Territory. Mr. Williams has
made a strong recommendation by
wire to Ottawa in. favor of the drill.
The government diamond drill
now iu the Yukon is in White
hcrse distrct, where it is being
used extensively in prospecting the
different copper properties, and
Mr. Williams says that since that
part cf the territory is going ahead
so rapidly in copper it is deemed
bes* not to take the drill from that
place, ftut to get anohter for this
par' of the territory.
ALASKA "Dl'ST" GAME
BEING WORKED IN EAST
1 Chicago — Alaska "prospectors"
with ciagT boxes filled -with, "nug
gets" and "dust" arg finding Chi
cago the original Barnum town.
Martin Lutz joined the mourners'
corner at the police station the
other day.
Martin is a tailor. A prosperous
appearing customer came in to be
measured. Incidentally, he r e
taarktd that he was a jeweler.
A few minutes later two "pros
pectors" entered. Slouch hats, high
tops mackinaws and the rest, were
all there. And so wag the box of
"dust"
•Xiies broached their proposition
to Lutz. The jeweler, attentive, al
so was interested. After examining
the "dust" he offered to buy it all.
However, being a good sport, he let
Lutz in on half of it.
When the tak>r brought his $1,
500 investment to the. police sta
tion detectives made but one corn
meet: "Brass filings."
IDITAROD LEADS
IX YUKON BASIN
The Alaska camps of the Yukon
basin are believed to have produced
$7,100,000 worth of gold in 1916,
about *he same as in 1916. An es
timate of the output of the princi
pal camps is as follows:
Idi'arod $2,000,000
Fairbanas 1,800,000
Ruby? .. .. .. < 800,000
He* Springs .. : 750,000
Tolovana 600,000 j
Marshall 400,000
Kcyukuk • • 300,000
Circle 250,000
v. Probably the most important fea
ture ol the year In the Yukon ba
sin was the comparatively large
gold output of the Tolovana and
Marshah districts. The Tolovana
district is about fifty miles north
west of Fairbanks. It wag discov
ered in 1914 and developed in a
small way in 1915, but made re
markable progress in 1916.

ARE YOUR
KIDNEYS SICK?
jjanv- Alaska People H&Te Kept
Well By Keeping Tlicir Kid
neys Well.
The first symptoms ef kidney
trouble may i>e only a slight, pain
in the back, a feeling of stiffness or
soreness in the loins, or some an
noying irregularity of the urinary
passages. Urine is often discolor
ed and perhaps sediment gathers
noon standing. Next may come a
dull, throbbing, backache, sharp,
knife-like pains, headaches, j diz
ziness and in many cases, lameness
when arising in the mornng. No
one can affrod to delay until these
troubles become serious. Begin
using Do&n's Kidney Pills, the
tried and tested kidney remedy that
has won the craisg of thousands.
Alaskan readers should find con
vincing proof of merit in the fol
lowing statement.
G. H. Behnke, 323 Lincoln St.,
Portland, Ore., says: "Kidney trou
ble clucg to me for six months. I
had a dull, steady ache and jat
time, sharp pains in my kidneys. I
had soreness over my kidneys and
I found it hard to turn in bed.
Too frequent action of my kidneys
caused me'to rise up often atjnight.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
j Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
ge* Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that cured Mr. Behnke. Foster-Mil
