PR EPAREIMfESS
While the great European, pow
ers are preparing their terrific en
gines fcr the destruction of their
foes; while our national policy is
slowly moving to the final neucleus
of nation wide preparedness—why
uot itt us adopt the slogan of the
day and oegin to prepare for the
horde c- summer tourists which
will soou be upon us.
Already the transportation com
panies are beginning to laj their
plans .md prepare for their busiest
season. Parties are being formed
in the New England States for
the express purpose of making a
tour of A'aska. The war has shut
to the tourist the gates of Europe
as a place to spend the summer
months. We have the chance of a
life time to mate Alaska the one
and ouly pleasure spot ou the face
of the globe.
How are the citizens of Skagway
gcius to figure in this history mak
ing epoch—how are we going to
make Skigway so attractive that
the r^turuiug tourists will tell their
friends to be sure and make this
their <to;ping place?
Cleauliuess is certaiuly next to
Godliness, no truer phrase has
ever been written. Why not each
citizen so keenly feel his duty to
wards his city and tile Territory of
Alaska that he Trill take it upon
himself to place his home, his place
of business and his city in a epic
and span condition. Each little
home iu our city could stand the
smootiiig touch of the paint brush.
Nothing so adds to thi appearance of
a city as to see the homes looking
new and surrounded by a homey at
mosphere.
We have the city, the facilities
and the people to make this the
leading city of Alaska. Lets place
it ou the map as the garden city of
Alaska It can be done—not by
one or two citizens—not by our
Commercial Club—not by the busi
ness n'en of our city—but by the
combined efforts of each and every
citizen of Skagway. ATe >ou willing
to r'-!l up your sleeves and place
your shoulder to the wheels "of
progrese?
It is surprising how good break
fast tastes when you didn't know
the eggs were cold storage.
AX ALASKAN LEGEND
The Indian legends, with their
mixture ct superstition and fioetry,
are not uuinteresting in, connection
with the story of this great coun
try. Oje pertaining to the origin
of a native tribe oX Alaska is thus
told.
A. long time ago it is sali the
earth sank beneath, the water and
the water rose and covered the
highest places, so that no man could
live. It rained so hard it was as
it the «ea fell from the sky. All
v.as black, and it became so dark
that no man knew another. Then
a few ueeplq ran here and tb/ero
and mai'e rafts of cedar logs, but
1 nothing could stand against the
I white waves and the raft was brok
en in two. On one part floated
the ancestors of the Thlinkets, on
j the other the parents of all tho
ether nations. Te water tore them
| apart and they never saw each oth
[ er again. Now their children are all
different and do not understand «ac
' other.
j SA\S TOM GAFENEY
