LEI IT NOW BE A MATTER
FOR IKE II10 WOMEN
There is-a report being; circulat
ed *■» Skag-way, that a certain, coun
cilman will vote "wet" at tha next
"wot" and,1 '"dry" election, because
of tfc© ineffectual work of the WO
,\11£N in preeventingj'tlifi illegal sale
oi Hquor *U lowu.'
Tins is not the timg or plac§ to
■discuss thq work of th^ women.
.Most of xi® kuow who Is responsi
ble fcr th" enforcement "of the law
iu au incorporated city. We all
knew who hire our police tore©, we
knew whg giv.e them, -their; orders,
and wo know woh! PAYS theun.
This is simply a report started to
make light of 'lie question, to take
the attention of tifcq vptera awajr'froii
the main issue J>f holding up the
work of the women to ridicule and
contempt. There a'ra people "who
I's'eu to such statementsi for a
councilman "is supposed to to a
man of influence and there are
those who. will listen to! this i-tory
and then vote "we*" and thinik that
they have'done w«U.
])0 NOT -ALLOW ' SUCH A
STATEMENT TO INFLUENCE YO lT<
'lHe women. ci Skag-way are not
to blanie because the laws are uot
enforced. The thing for the voter
to decide la thlsi:
Am 1 going to vote to continue
a business that may maikke my boh
a drunkard?—It will certainly make
a drunkard of my neighbor's boy,
tor i* has been proven that One
family in Five niust furnish a. b°>*
for the saloon. Your daughter may
marry that boy,or your neighlbor's^
girl may marry him, and, we all
kucw the result.
LOOK AT YOUR BOY—LOOK A
YOUR NEIGHBOR'S BOY —
REMEMBER 'IF YOU VOTE
-WET" YOU "WILL VOTE
FOli A BUSINESS THAT MAY
RE RESPO.VSI.BTjE FOR • YOUR
BOY GOING TO THE JAIL IN -JU
NEAU TO FACE A CHARGE 'THAT
WU.I. RESULT. IN A TERM OF
YEARS-IN THE PENITENTIARY.
This is not sentiment, these are
hard facts.
The Illinois Steel Plant is not a
sentimental concern, yet flaming

questions evory aiigiht:
DID BOOZE EVER DO YOU ANY
GOOD? I •'
Dlb BOOZE EVSR GiET YOU A
BETTER JOB?
DID BOOZE EVER CONTRIBUTE)
TO THE HAPPINESS OP YOUR
FAMILY?
This Is a matter of dollars* and,

Taka our own) town ofl Skagway
and do you know that business is
better this 'year than< last. Somq
of our merchants report a large
crease in busin1ess, one man! reports
as b'gh as 200 per cent.
Why is business! better? Be
cau.se the saloon is no longer able
to carry on its'work.
Better business always follow.^
the closing of the saloon, and this
is one of the main reason® for the
rapid growth of the prohibition,
lucvement which is no longer a
crusade of women, oil the church.

THREE LIE!
STRIKES MADE
Recent rick Btrikaa reported in
•he Alaskka "-rese would indicate
that 'here is still much prospecting
being done lawuglifOut the district
as evidenced, by ta© following ar
ticles wilier auvear^d late 'ei
chajigts;. i
Capialu ilubriukk. Beat J^CKSon,
Jack S olt zand James Barkley ie
turne • to AiciGauthyi from the upper
CUitiiia river last week* bringing
with, tiitin samples from a, stride
which loots like the best news l-®
ceivtd in, this/ district for a long
time. The famo of the >up|per Cop
per Kiver as a producer of copper
iia^ lor.g beern known, but re
cent strike is of a new character,
namely, silver and: lead. The l©il&e
is about aiitj; feet la width, and
lays on the contact betwen the lima
and greenstone. The " ordinary
formation lime over greenstone has
bteii reserved In; thai case, the lime
being on the footwall and the green
stone being above. Some good,
mineralogists have examined the
reels and agret; :hat *v quantity
e«ch as is claimed by he locators
win make a mine which will rival
the famous Bonanza and 1 Jumbo
mines. The locator will ^ut a tuc
uel in in the spring and/ bring out
a large shipment for smelter test
as soo<i as! possible.
The NomeNugggt reports a new
etrlfce thus: '
What is said to t>e a strike of
somv magnitude has) been, made by
Jens-tn aa<l son on the second
beach line a short distance below
For* Davis, according to reliable
reports reaching town.
From the statem0"!' of those
who are aware of tha circumstances'
the ground Is located about three
fourths of a mile from tihe military
pes* and in the near vicinity of
the place which attracted) some at
teaeion as a producing section six
or eignt yoare ago.
The Jensens are reported to ha-ye
located the pay at a deptihj ofeigh
.teej or twaaiy feet. The amount
»U" development work so far accom
plished is slight but is said to b9
sufficient to show th&t thei strike
Is c,X moro tihan passing value.
The oay streak is about two feet in
thickness 'and is said to carry ex
ceptional values. According, to the
statement of one t>arty, pans as
high as six and) seven dollars are"
by no means unusual and the aver
age js out of tho ordinary. A
number o* parties a-rft reported/ to
have left for the new. discovery in
the hope of oickinp ud a» continua
tion of the pay.
That the Mairahall diggings, on
the lower Yukon, are Boene of
much activity and' that ' there
4s promise of a camp of Bome stab
ility, is tho report brought from
'hat place by Fredi Harrison, who
says that there are now about four
hundred men there. Recent clean
noe have been of a| most satisfac
tory character, and show that al
though the ground ;fl somewhat >x
pensive to workk, it nets more than
?3 to the foot. MciGrathj and part
ners recently made another clean
up and it is said that they have
now taken out $44,000 this season,
and expect to take out as "much
more before the freezeup.—Ex.
FA!R EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One
The back acliea at time* wi'.h a
dull, indescribaiblfs feeling, making
you weary and r<\stlass; piercing
palt'B 6hoot across tha region of
thp kidneys, and again the loins are
60 lame that to &toop is e^ony. No
use to rub or apply a Blaster to tie
back if the kidneys are weak. You
canno* reach. the caus®. Alaskan
residents would do well to prof^ by
the lollowing example:
Mrs. G. G. Foedlck. G015 S.
Lawitiice St., Tacoma.W ash., says;
"My back w<is bo uore and painful
that if I wanted "to ta&e up any
ethiog irom the floor, I had. to get
down on my knees!. There was a
lumn about the size of a dollar
over each of my kidneys a&di thfis
mad^> my back so. t®nd«r and sore
that I cofuId hardlv bear to have
my clotheji toucitt me. At night I
could scarcely turn, In bed and
mortilitETB was so lame and sore that
I could hardly get around. Those
trouolee were brought on by a cold
settling in my kidneys. Doan'e Kid
ne- Pills cured me."

that cured Mrs. Fosdicik. Foister
