Thee above slogan should be
adopted by every person residing in I
til's section of Southeastern Alask.t.
us well as by these who live in
'.erritory tributary to the town of
Sksgway; and "Sit Steady iti the
Boat and Boost" should become a
d<termined and unalterable purpos
i l which the objective, the develop
ment and up-bu:lding of this great
iio.-thern empire, should hold first
place.

The prediction often made in the

':;e territory would be Hooded dur
ing the tourist season each year
•vit. "See America First" people
bids fair, with t>>e opening of the
o iy now approaching, to become a
verity, but the question as to
whether we shall receive all that

tural advantages, depends iu a
targe measure upon our own efforts.
These oeople have the money to
spend for their own enjoyment, we
have the means for gratifying their
wishes. So far—good. It require
more than this cn our part, how
ver, if we hope to hold them with
us for a time while here, and induce
ihem to return in the future. It
is tip to us to e-.itertain and make
things pleasant for them, to pro
vide easy means, so far as we may,
for visiting points of interest in
the immediate vicinity of Skagvay;
in fact, to cause everything to be
so attractive to them that they will
themselves become our most ardent
"booster," and the ' word '"Skag
way," wherever and whenever heard
by them a vivid reminder of days
that have been pleasantly spent.
We therefore reiterate: "Sit
Stt-H'?y in the Boat and Boost.''

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a "Well
Earned Reputation.
For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work the/
have done. What other remedy ev
er produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthony Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, "Wash., says:
"X had lameness across my kidneys
and headaches and dizzy spells. I
suffered from a constant backache
when on my feet. I tried everythin
but got nothing that would remove
tl e trouble, until Doan's Kidney Pill
were recommended to me. They
quickly strengthened my back and
lemoved the lameness. I was soon
able to sleep well at night and got
up in the untiling feeling refresh
ed, lustead of being more tired
when I went to bed."

simvlv ask for a kidney remedy—
