MR, DICKKSOX'S RESIGNATION
Th0 passing of O. L. Dlckeson
from the presidency of the "W. P.
& V. R. company is Tegarded by
the Daily Alaskan, as a distinct
lo6a to the b«st Interests of that
company as well as to the town of
Skagway, and the great Interior re
gion to the north -within the Yu
kon -watershed and Northern Brit
ish Columbia, and in this view we
Ivelieve -we -will bo upheld at a lat
er date by a majority of the peo
ple who live within the territory
described, -when they come to a full
realization of the effective work
that has been done by him in their
behalf in the face of the most ad
verse and discouraging conditions
—opposition and carping criticism
where he had a right to expcct loy
al support, and the exceedingly bad
financial condition In which the W.
P. Y. R. company stood at tbe time
he assumed Its management.
The Daily Alaskan has time and
again beeu accused of being the
W. p. & y. R. organ, but this is
not true in the sense that it was
Intended by these who made *l»e
statement. Tbe Daily Alaskan is
the railroad organ so long as it
deems that corporation to be work
ing for tbe beet interests of the
town of Skagway and for the inter
ests of the gTeat interior country
of which the railroaad is logically
and indisputably the main transpor
tation artery, and in our support of
Mr. Dickeson in his progressive poli
cies jve take to ourselves at least
a slight part of tha credit due that
gentleman for having during a time
of extreme depression in the busi
ness circles In the interior camps
of Alaska and the Canadian Yukon,
turned the tide of passenger and
freight traffic from the long and
perilous Bering sea route to the
westward into its natural legiti
mate channel, -where it may at all
times of the year be gone forward
with in safety and comparative
comfort
While Mr. DlcKeson noes nuu
care to give out the following in
formation to are in a position to
know that it Is more than probable
that he will be tendered a high
position in an ocean transportation
company that will have for its
starting point some important port
in the Pacific Northwest and its
northern terminal at the piace on
the Alaskan coast to be hereafter
determined by President Wilson, as
the southern terminal of the gov
ernment railroad.
A young man of Mr. Dickeson's
ability, who can financp and swing
a deal of the magnitude and >m
~pc»rtance of the one that he was
instrumental in putting through
last spring, will not be long over
looked by men of money, who are
seeking -ways' for profitable invest
ment of their cr.pital, and are con
stantly on the lookout for the pro
per human instruments to subserv®
their ends.

M'ETHUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his letters as hi: fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty cf time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving time hut of killing time.
But we dun't live so long nowadays and most of us have
gotten over the Meihusaleh idea in the last thirty years. We
have found that the lime saved and the labor savedby the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who lias writing to do.
Typewriting is two or three times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, i t looks better, and it is the up-to-date w ay to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
.Remington
JUNIOR
Typewriter
Think of it! Here is a first-class typewriter, a genuine Reming
ton, carrying the iron-clad Remington guarantee and embody
ing just the qualities you need.
The price of the Remington Junior is $50.00, cash with
order. How does it differ from the standard hundred-dollar
Remingtons? Only smaller, and lighter, with fewer parts—just
the machine you need for the simpler uses, such as manuscript
and letter writing.
* For 555.00 we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of S5.00 down and S5.00 a month.
Better seize this opportunity and buy now. Cut out the
attached coupon and send it to us with S5.00 in cash, checkf
or money order, and we will send the machine.

'Good news travels fast," and
the bad back sufferers in this

lief may be found. Many a lame,
weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney
Pills. Thousands- upon thousands
of people are telling the good news
of their experience with this tested
remedy. Here fc an example worth
reading.
F. II. Wieland, 1002 E. 41st St.,
Log Angeles, Cal., Says; "For a
long time I suffered from pain in
the small of my back and I could
scarcely get around. My kidneys
were disordered and the kidney se
cretions were highly colored and
irregular in passage. Doan's Kid
ney Pills relieved the lameness
and -weakness and remoyd all troub
le -with, the kidneys. I have
had no return of the complaint."
Prica 60c, «.t all dealers. Don't
Blmpljr ask for a kidney remedy—

that Mr. Wieland had. Foster-Mil
