"America For Americans
SKAG WAY'S OPORTU XITY
Skagway Is Che gateway to the
wonders of Alaska.
Approach to it is made by a watti
jvuy that affords the most wonderfil
voyage in the world, a trip of a
thousand miles by sea with moun
tain ranges on either hand, wood
covered and snow capped
Beyond lies the Yukon country,
famous for the men who. first broke
its white jyastes, for the rich gold
tha' lured them on against hard
ships that will be recounted years
after the last of the pioneers has
gone to his final claim, and for the
grandeur of its scenery, its moun
tains and the enwrapping mystery cl
midnight sun
This position means something. It
means that Skagway is the natural
link between "outside" and "in
side." It means that through Skag
way will pass t!:« ever-increasing
s'ream. of Alaska-bound tourists.
Where these tourists have been
numbered by hundreds they soon
will bo numbered by thousands. In
stead of going to Switzerland to
climb the Alps, where thousands
have climbed before, men and wo
men w<h.o are devoted to the alpine
snock will come to the north
country, where await them scores of
mountains that have never been
scaled.
Skeptical ones may doubt this
prospect. That (iocs net in the l«as
lessen the certainty that its ful
fulment is assured Skagway is the
logical entrance to the "inside." It
is atlso the historical entrance,
which tourists will naturally want
to enter by, just ag did the pio
neers. Besides, one misses much
of the scenic beauty ol the inland
passage if one omits the last stage
of the trip through Lynn canal,
■where the glaciers run down to
the sea.
Even if Skagway doesi nothing,
it is bound in time to be developed
The very strtaegy of its location will
compel auch a Tesult. But Skag
way. Laving a wonderful path right
tq its door, has not been waiting
and 'a not to waj t It is
telling the world what the world
does not yet suspect, that a summer
in Alaska ia wcrth a, cycle in
Cathay or any other supposedly fa
vored place of the earth.
The opportunity to coutinue this
iworla of heralding is now presented,
by participating in the Canadian
Pacific railroad's proposed Alaska
exhibit, to be displayed,1 through
Canada. The C. P. R. intends that
the eochibK, showing not only the
scenic attraction® for tourists but
th« natural resources of the coun
try, la mining, agriculture and. fish
eries, shall be shown this summer
and fall at Canadian, fairs and ex
positions. I J
A committee from the Commer
cial club ia today calling upon the
merchant* and asking theln to co
operate by loaning articles for tire
.exhbit that will refcreaeni Skagway.
The response to thla request should
b® tha preparation oS such a dis
play ad to loarei ao doubt la the
jnju t of anyone who seen it ShH a
visit tc* the Skagway country is lh«
real grand tour.
BACK-DOOR ETIQUETTE
It Is back-door etiquette for a
wom&u to send hack the diab, In
which her neighbor ha» sent her
something to ea*. full. As a re
sult o* trying to observe this rule,
two Atchison women are o* the
verge of nervous collapse.
Sunday morning one of the wo
men 9ent her neighbor a pan of
string beans. Promptly tha tfomau
receiving the bean# returned the
pan filled with some plum butter.
The other woman returned tha pain
filled with fresh doughnuta Her
neighbor sent the pan back With
some raisin bread in it, Tha oth
er woman fired tha P*a back filled
with tomatoes. The neighbor Quick
ly stirred up a cake, and It was
no time until that pan was sent
back filled with little hot cakes.
The other woman was ready for the
pan, and sent it oyer filled with
pickled beets. The other neighbor
flew to her pantry and Jerked up
some sliced ham and seat the pan
hack, but tha other woman'# men
folk mot that pan before it reached
its destination; there is not enough
of it left for the Junkman.—Atchi
son Globe. ,
TO A OOW
Coruiferous we' nurse of lh9 human
race,
[ Calm, comfortable cow, with
placid pride
Yielding your offering at orem
tlde
To the brown godless who with
rustic grace
Bends o'er the shining pail her
knees embrace.
Clad in a simple smock and
apron wide
TVhose fickle folds make acaat
pretense to bide
The lissome lines they roguish
i ly retrace!
Xow all alone, with brimming pail,
she wends
Her homeward way across the
field aal now.
The pathway of the meadow
slope ascends.
Till gathered la the purple of its
brow
Her fading shape intp the twi
light blends,
Learing to me the darkness—and
the cow.

Rerd the following statement.
W. V. Condon, 382 H St., Sau
Bernardino, Cal., says: "I think
the jarring and jolting of the wagon
I rido is what weakened my kid
neys luid caused backache.
I coulj hardly get on or off
the wagon because of sharp pains
in the small of my back. The kid
ney secretions were too frequent in
passage, causing me to arise sev
eral times at night. I h&d diz
zy spells, also. Doan's Kidney
Pills cured the backache and regu
lated the action of my kidneys."
