The establishment of the Land
ladus'.iial Department at Skgaway
is a move In the development
forces of thi3 community which is
sure!. bound to bring us before the«(
pub'\- in a light that has hereto-1
tor" never east its rays upon the,
horison.
J's uiflueace ca mot be reckoned |
in dollars and cents. What It will
do for Skagway as an Individual
city remains to bo £>c-en. Many pos
sibility s lie in in path. The> es
tablishment of an experiment sta
t;cn bv the government is very
posslb'e. This would undoubtedly
call for the cultivation of a large
.-iic tract of laud ip. this vicinity.
Worki :g from this as a base its in
fli?* ce would spread and spread
ur.til every availabls space of
grou.id !.i this recriou would be
under Intense cultivation..
It would bring to our city hun
dred* of inquiries as to the agricul
tur\l possibilities in this and oth
t-r -sections of Alaska. It would al
io nrrg to our shores the many
laud seekers who alrecvd have their
•ut"!:tious formed about coming to
tnis uorthland. At the very least
its influence cannot help but be a
loosttT for Skagwiy and all of
S- .'theastern Alaska.
HOLY WEEK
This, is Holy Weak, which marks
Christ's triumphant e: try into Jeru
salem. in some churches the week
is ob>erved by intense solemnity
and penitent rigor. Fixed church
festivals falling wi'h.n this week
a-e always transferred t» the fol
low!!.; week. Varies names are
used for the period. "The Great
We--k, The Silent Week, The Week
o' Holy Passion, The Vacant Week,
and (he Penitential Week."
This is the pe-riol that a man 1^
supp std to develop his Innermost
thoughts by close communion with
the rf'gher Power. It is the uni
versal custom for religious people
to increase their devotion by si
le.it thinking and prayer. Usually
it finds its avenue into the home
an J iucreased home devotion is
;juii(» universal. The week termin
ates with Easter Sunday.
LIKENED AS THE STURDY OAK
Like the sturdy oaJi with its roo'3
we'" grounded; ita trunk fully de
veloped and capable of providing
nourishment to the branches which
shoot off from its body, the Bajik
of Alaska is launching forth upon
its >?\tension development. The es
tablishment of a branch bank at
Wrm^ell with the home bank as
its mother is but. a step in the car
rying to completion the voluminous
plans of that instituion.

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange tha
whole system when entering It through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do Is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney 4 Co.. Toledo. O., contains no
mercury, and is taken Internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genu

\ CURE tX}R EXCUSES
A truant school boy stood stol-1
idly before a justice of Chicago, |
iud gr.nnod contempt when the;
teacher testified that he had been '
Absent from school fivo days in'
one week and that his attendanoe ;
all tiis year and la^f year was
only spasmodic.
Tho boy felt that his defense
va* sound. He ha<l tested it often
and <t uever had failed. He spoke
in confidently:
"I had the toothache."
"You didn't have the toothache
this year and last year, too, did
you?" naked the court.
"Yes, sir," relied the boy.
The father was questioned.
'iVVhy have you kept your sou
ort*1>f school in violation of the
Iw?" demanded the Justice.
"He had the toothache," ans
wered tho father.
Tv«» mother was sworn.
"What do you mean by not seivd
iiii> your son to school?" asked
the court.
"Ho had the toothache," sobbed
the mother.
"You will pay *5 and cost?," said
• .? justice, "and have thi t tooth
pulled Immediately."
"That tooth must be pulled be
fore night. If it is not 1 will have
you brought buck here andfined
and costs."
Hei't is a precedent in law that
miy find infinite application. There
is no principle of law g'ood for
beg that is not also good for man.
Since *■* Is »he law that tooth
af>i)o mus* not be made a couven
le'ico by a boy, there are lots cf
excuses offered by men for dlrolo -
tija of dufy which call for rigid
i:«;iiiry and heroic treatment.
