I MTV W:iLL DO IT
The ties' edition of the Skagway
Daily Alaskan which our readers
will leceive will be dated Tuesday,
January 2, 1917.
Th'e means that another year
had rolled around, and Old Man
Time, which we like to think of as
the year 1916, is preparing »o leave
us in ordeT that the uew prince
may take up his work and juggle
as as Orcar says:—
"The Moving Finger writes; and ha(
ing writ.
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor
Wi*
Shall lure i* back to cancel half a
line.
Nor all your tears wash out a Word
°f it." ;; •»
1916 has dealt kindly with us
all here in Skagway, and he now
looks back upon his work and is
couteat to leave the finishing or
the continuation of the good work
to 1917. f ^ Jij|
Let us then all assist in the
forward movement of our town. Let
us assist those who have come in
to our tcwa as cheechakoes, and
be an asset to them as they are
trying «o b6 to us, and when the
Year 15)17 has written 304 full
pages cf its day book we will look
with joy and pride on the work ac
complished, and when we welcome
our friends on New Year's day 1918
with a warm friendly hand-clasp,
we will say one to the other,
"Unity, my boy, Unity, has ac
l>lish<d it."
Kach merchant we have question
ed on the subject unhesitatingly
claim the past year to have been
one of the most prosperous he has
had for several years past. As pros
perity increases, there will be less
time lor petty. personal strife and
spite work, and more time for con
certed action. No man can pros
per without his neighbor partaking
iu his trcsperity to a more or less
degree. So it is just a case of
Unity, and Skagway will keep her
stand iu the front ranks of the
big cities of the Territory of Alas
ka.
.We join you in wishing all a
Happy, Healthful, Prosperous New
Year, and trust that time will re
gard ycu tor the works you do.
COST or WAR IS ESTIMATED AT
LARGE SI M
(Literary Digest)
If tiie European war lasts a full
three years, until next August, it
will have cost three times as much
as the American Civil War, the
Franco-Prussian War, the >{apol
eonic W&r, the Bo«r War and. the
Russo-Japanese War combined. At
least such is the estimate of the
Mechaujcs and Metals National Ban
of New York, Jn its recent book
let on ' War Loans and War Fin
ance" bv careful calculation it fig
urea that $.75,000,000,000 will be
spent for direct military purposes
during the full ihTee years. This,
by way, may be compared With the
lecent estimate of Count von Roe
dern, Secretary of the Imperial
German Treasury, putting the total
coast cf the war to date, to all
belligerents at $59,500,000. The
Xew "Vorii banking authority gets
this three years cost by adding to
thg cost of $17,500,000,000 for
the first year and $28,000,000,000
for the second, an estimated $30,
000,00,000 for the third. The to
tal, we are reminded, "will repre
sent p. sum twice as large as the
total Indebtedness of every nation
in th? rid, as that debt stood in
1914. It will represent aa amount
seven timoa greater than the com
bined deposits of all 7,600 national
banks ia the United States, and
also seven times greater than, the
wtioiy world's supply of minted
gold. It will represent an amount
auffic'ent to have built aud, equip
ped railroads equal to Xlve times
j the number now operating; in the
[ United States. It will represent an
'amount that would! have paid for
200 sucu projects as the Panama
canal; *na* would) have extended
rail}yay-aiid-steanurhjpj lines into
every corner of the earth; that
would have provided schools and
teachers lor every child living to
day; that would have eliminated
savagery; that would have en
dowed science to the devotion of its
effort to improve the living condi
tions ot all mankind.
And yet the military cost is not
all. There ia to. he considered the
outright destruction, speaking in
terms of tangible wealth, of cities,
railway*, steamroads, and agricul
tural values — destruction that
for given months would require fig
■urea ef further thousands of millions
were such destruction readily calcuh
able. There is the loss of that
percentage of Europe's manhood
maimed and destroyed. There is
the loss cf production in occupied
territories, the decrease in stocks
of fo«d, metal and other materials,
the den'ngement of the machinery
of distribution.
"Thcr9 Is the outright loss of
proper'y which twenty-five million
soldiers and many other millions of
peopla- would have created had
they not been enlisted to figh* or
otherwise to contribute their Ekill
and e.'ergv to the pursuit of war.
There is the loss represented by
the devoting of people's savings to
the buying of guns, shells and the
vast naraphernalia of war's equip
ment; saying that otherwise would
have found a way to the construc
tion t f permanent things. There
!s the very real economic loss on
account of the aggregation of suf
fering and misery of whtole bodies el
people, liko those of Belgium, Po
land, and Servia, made at times to
wander homeless through devastat
ed lands. There is the eventual
cost (f oensions."

An Unique Record
Veiy Few Like It In Our Broad
Republic
I Grateful testimony for Doan's
Ki'lufcy Pills, published everywhere
I i <"f itself convincing evidence of
merit. Cottfrmcd testimony forms
still strouger evidence. Years ago,
M:s. Mason grateful'y acknowledged
the benefit derived from Doan's
Uiduov Pjlls. The statement is
uow confirmed — the proof more
convincing. Cases of this kind
are plentiful in the work of Doan's
K'dnev Pills—the record is unique.
Mrs. David Mason, 2715 East C
St., Tacoma, Wash, says: "I had a
dull, heavy ache iu my back and it
was lame and weak- Severe head
aches and dizzy spells were com
mon. Th® kidjiey secret: ona pass
ed too often and I always felt tir
ed and worn-out. Doan's Kidney
Pills rid me of the trouble."
(Statement given Sept. 19, 1913.)
On November 5, 1915 Mrs. Mason
said: "I have use-d Doan's Kid
ney Pills since last recommending
t^em and have found them just
as effective as in the past."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Dean's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Mason has twice public
ly recommended. Foster Milburn

Deafness Cannot 2Se Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
b> constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the rau
cous ilo.nf: of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unl*f« tho inflammation can be tnken out
and this tube restored to its normal condl

Honest Efforts.
Moses was fated never to enter the
land of promise he so longingly view
ed afar, and Coltunbus never found—
who can now wish that he had?—thai
unimpeded sea route westward to In
dia that he sought so wisely and so
daringly. Vet still the world moves
on, and by mysterious and unexpected
ways the great, brave soul is permit
ted to subserve the benignant purposes
of God contemplating the elevation a:nl
blessing of num. A:.d so. 1 cannot
doubt, the uusel":;h efforts in our day
for the amelioration of sorb I hard
ships, though their methods may be
rejected as mistaken or defe live, will
yet signally conduce to their contem
plated ends. Fail net. then, humble
boper for "the good time coming." to
lend your feeble s.'gli to swell the sails
of whatever bail; is freighted with
earnest eCTt.t5s for the mitigation of
human woes nor doubt that the Divine
breath shall waft it at last to its pray
ed for haveti. Horace llrcoley.
Holidays In Danish Islands.
The natives of I lie Danish islands
(West ludiesi appaieutly celebrate Uie
national holidays of ail countries with
complete impartiality-the Fourth of
July in honor of the country that
wouldn't adopt them: the 11th of
July because it Is celebrated In Mar
Unique and it would never do to let
the French negroes get ahead of them;
the birthday of (tie king of Denmark
because the islands belong to him; the
birthday of the king c." England be
cause the islands once belonged to
him; the birthday of the German em
peror in honor of the Hamburg-Amer
lean line, nud the birthdays of ail the
royal families. 1 presume, as well as
many local and impromptu holidays of
their own. They also are very scrupu
lous about observing the Sabbath, at
least in its negative aspect.—E. E. Slos
son in New York Independent.
Too Much Pignity.
Mammy Washington seemed very
111 at ease in court. Site admitted to
the judge that it was her first time on
"poleeccman ground." Considerable
difficulty was experienced in niaklug
her answer questions. She would go
just so far and t Licri stop, all a fluster.
The judge lilt upon n scheme.
"There Is no need for you to be ex
cited. Mrs. Washington." he said, with
a smile. "I'm just a judge and you
are just you."
At hist the old negress found her
tongue.
"Dat's jes' h!t. suh." she cried ex
plosively, "I is me, but yo" isn't you, in
dem spec's an! wld ("'it crokay mallet
in yo' ban". !'.f yo' t ould tlx hit fer to
talk dis over in a kitchen. I'd be all
right, jedge!"—Case and Comment.
Where Slachinj Cc'.s Its Odor. j
Shoeblacklng. says the Scientific
American, owes its peetiliar aromatic
odor, faintly suggestive of the deep
woods, where spruce or hemlock nee
dles pad t!ie ground, to an oil which is
manufactured from t!:ese same kinds
of needles. The greater part of this
oil is distilled by vma'l farmers in New
England during the winter.
