SAFEOl'ARDIXG TUE TOWN
' To Mayor P. H. Gauty, probab
ly more than to any other one mein
•' ber of the town council, is due the
action taken last night in reference
to the putting in of a wingdam at
the intersection of lSth street
with the Skagway river for the
protection of property against the
■ spring freshets that each year
' threaten to overwhelm the town
and to cause an immense amount of
damage.
This hat been & very parent
menace c-^er since tns tuwi, was
first located and so-ue work has
been done by both the town govern
ment and the \V. P. & Y. Route
management to turn the waters of
1 the river across to the westward
side of the valley along the base
of the foothills then.-, where they
would have a straight and unob
structed outlet vnto ae head of the
bay.
The work done cO far, however,
has been of a temporary character
and not of a nature to withstand
such a torrent of w^ter as is liable '
to pour down *'rom the mountains j
in the spring when tht warm sun
melts the snows that have been ac
cumulating all winter.
Last May, after the danger of
flood had passed, Mayor Ganty and
several members of the town coun
cil made an 'nvestifjation of the
mo6t practical method of safe
guarding the city and reached the
conclusion that a wingdam, con
structed of willows and rock, with
a filling of sand, would prove very '
much like those built on the Miss- j
issippi river, where the action of the
, water has a tendency to solidify
the work and make it permanent.
The members of the council, after !

"Memorabilia Mathematics" is the
title of a new book written by Pro

mathematics at the Uiyversity of

by The Macmillan company. Critics
of the bock have declared tluit the
work is indispensable to the teach

(JIVING OUT.
The Struggle Discourages Many a
Citizen ot Alauka.
Around all day with an aching
back.
Can't rest at night.
Enough to make ar.y one "give
up".
Doan's Kidney Pills are helping
thousands.
They are for kidney backache;
And other kidney ii's.
Here is convincing proof of their
merit:
H. B. Smith, 3728 E. Main Ave.,
pokane, Wash., Bays: "For two
years I suffered from kidney trouble
brought on by heavy lifting. My
back was weak and ached con
stantly. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and passed too fre
quently. I had to get up several
times at night. I had headaches an
dizzy spells and my appetite was
poor. Doan's Kidney Pills reliev
ed me as soon as I used them and
in was only a short time before the
kidney weakness and other symp
toms of the trouble had left."

End" sets for men and women, 35

Keller Bros. Agents. tt.
having looked the field over and
decided what they wanted done
asked for estimates cf the cost ol
the work from several different
parties, ;h~ estimates when receiv
ed running all the way from $2500
Up to $4,u00.
The council has been working
quietly on the matter ever since
und last night it waj brought up
and decisive action taken to pusli
it along to an e.ir'y completion
The public works committee was au>
tliorized to proceed with the work
,:t once and Marshnal Page was in
structed by them to get out the
brush for the filling and as soon as
the frost is out of the ground so
that work can be prosecuted to ad
vantage to go ahead with it with
ill speed.
Mayor Ganty was or the opinion,
which was concurred in by the oth
er members, that it is better for
the present council *o inaugurate
the work, although the', may not re
main in office long enough to see
it completed, for the reason that
they have familiarized themselves
with what is necessary to be done,
the probable cost and everything
else pertaining to it, w hereas it will
take newly elected members some
time to acquire this knowledge, and
ft'hen they are well enough posted
k> act intelligently the season will
be so far advanced that work will
lave to be put off for another
rear.
We think Mayor Ganty and the
Members of the town council are
to bo commendcd fo- their action
ast night, for a portion of the large
surplus ®n the town treasury can bo
put to no better use than to turn
the waters of the river so that it
will be practically impossible foi
the spring freshets to cause anj
great amount of damage within the
town.
