TOWN LICENSES
1
The question of the *oll«ction of
town licenses from certain busiueas
t's which have neglected to comply
with the ordinances in relation
thereto was up for discission be- (
fore the common council last niglit
and was pretty well thrashed out, (
a decision being com© to that the ,
delinquents would be given another
chance to comply with the regula
tions and if they still refused to
com© through, legal steps would be
taken to compel them to.
The reason for the extension of
time of payment was because it was
felt by the members of the council
that It would work an unnecessary
hardship oa the delinquents to be
brought up before the court where |
they would no doubt pe assessed |
a heavy fine iu addition to the j
amounts wbich they already owe for
licenses, and the counciitEen wished |
to avoid U^is if possible.
The Daily Alaskan does not know
but one or two of the names of
those who have not paid their li- |
cense?, because they were not j
brought out in the discussion last
night, but we would suggest to all j
who axe notified by the town mar
shal of their delinquency to settle j
as soon as possible, as the mem- j
bers of the council certainly mean
business.
A majority of the business men
of Skagway who are subject to a
•icense tax have already paid into J
the town treasury the amounts as-j
eessed against them for the same, j
and it is no more than right that |
those who have not done so should j
at once remedy their neglect.
The town through its common i
council has gone to a great deal of
expense this year i* putting in
much needed improvements, the
principal one being the sidewalk
that is now almost completed along
the west side of State street between
Second and Twenty-third streets,
and which is a Tisual evidence of
the publlc-spiritedness of the mem
bers of the present council and
their unselfish desire to use the
revenues of the town solely lor the
benefit of the entire community.
The city school, with an addition
al teacher this year, is also an ex
pense that bad to be provided for,)
and is something thaf. could not
bare been avoided if the efficiency
of the school was to be considered.
Therefore, we believe that the
delinquents, in justice to themselves
as well as to the community, should
arrangj the matter of payment of
their license money into the town
treasury at once, and not compel
the enorcement of its collection by
process of law.
VSE OF CANADIAN MONEY
Living as we do almost on the
boundary line between the Canadian
possessions and the United States it
Is a matter of course that the
business of Skagway should be to
a great extent carried on through
the medium of Canadian currency
and coin, and in order to work no
hardships oa anyone it is almost a
necessity that this foreign money
should be taken at par by all busi
ness houses within the town.
By a recent ruling of the Seattle
banks and also, we believe, by those
in the Canadian citie® in British
Columbia, a discount of one per
t-cnt is made on all foreign moneys
and a business man who takes in
Canadian money here at par when
he goes to deposit it in a bank will
be the loser to the extent of one
percont on his deposit. In the
Canadian towns to the north the
same condition exists in reference
to money from this side.
Jf there was no remedy this
would have soon become so depress
ing on business that it
would have been intolerable,
but thanks to the public |
spiritedness of the management of
the W. P. & Y. R., the cashier, Mt. I
W. R. Hillery has been instructed to'
exchange United States money for |
Canadian money at par up to the (
limit of his receipts, and now come®,
■he '\Vel!s-F;u"fjo Fxpress Co.,
hrough its local agents, and
>ffers to issue express cr
iers, taking in payment tlierefor
Canadian money at par. Of course
•hero is a limit to these sources of
scchange, but the amount of cash
•hus put in circulation without dis
count is a decided stimulant to
he local trade in all lines.
It's sovereigns to Jltnoys "It's a
Long Way to Tippenary" is no
ivorse as a war song than "There'll
>e a Hot Time in the Old Town."
And what would those I. W. W
iemoiutrators wlio ran away from
he war-painted Indian police do if
:alled upon to face a woodpile?

In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth.
Mrs. M. E. Cook, State St., Sed
ro Woolley, Wash., says: "I strain
ed my back while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. I
had Bharp shooting pains in my
back, and if 1 stooped it was hard
for me to straighten. It was also
hard for me to get up from a chair
I waa bothered with too frequent
passages of the kidney secretions
at times, then again they didn't
pass often enough. I doctored, hut
got ho better, and finally I decid
#•'» *o try Doan's Kidney Pills. After
I had taken a few doses, I found
tfcty were helping me and I conttn
ued using them until I was fixed UP
in good shape."
Pric© 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-Mllburn
