A lcnc time ago some wise old
eh-advised us "Do no* cross a
>>r 'ge until you come to it," while
an-•♦Her clil chap tells us "Do not
•tcuble *r uble unfcl trouble troub
les you."
Some of the wise oues tell us tha
i>"i I ib;': *n cannot be made to stick
1 :i Ala-.ka and that the Territorial
1 i 'iatL:e had 110 bus.ness butting1
'u and making a fool law which is
no law u\»'l Congress makes it oue,
a ' that Congress will not make th
Teri'»ory o'" Alaska dry.
Xow here -;s where we must take
'o l>>;."rt 'he old gents advice about
iiu.* t e bridge, uu4 the others
c!y warning about trouble. Alas
ka doe not care a whoop, whether
i!ie lc'slative act relative to the
li'l'ior question was a fool law or
not. ncrr d»es Alaska care very muc
wljt'hfci Congress recognizes that
ac of tbe legislature or not.
1 he indole have the i>cwer to say
as o \vhefher or not there shall be
- ji.s iu Alaska, and they can use
t!;:'t power. We know how to use
!t -ere in Skagway and throughout
••vtry nook and cranny !n Alaska
l.o j"-' lie have sigiiifiiu that they
also know how to use it.
■*viie'h*r Congress ratifies the
le.is!at'\e act or not does not mean
t Alaska shall not be free of the
•aluon, fi r the people of Alaska
ha/e bte:i and are uow given the
riint of local oution, aud if Con
fails to recognize the expressed
ill of tne people iu prohibiting the
- v or" intoxicating liquors b£ pass
in, tbc necessary laws, the people
in every i>art of Alaska can with
hojd "u;r consent for the issuance
of Ii iu- licenses, and the District
Jur'ges oT the respective Judicial
divisions will refuse to license sa
loon men.
This is a simple way out of the
difficulty, and if this way is con
staktly born in mind, there will be
no argrnunt on the question at is
3Ut».
11c »>'i of the people. through
ou the entire Terrritoiy of Alaska,
•f ihe- follow the precedent estab
lisred by the citizens of Skagway,
wherebv ;Le saloon men were re
fused consent to sell liquor, will
observed, and should this will, so
exoiessfl be disregarded, prosecu
te .s will follow, and the Territory
will be dry in spite of whether or
ot r ie Territorial legislative laws
are valid or whether or not Con
gress ra'ifies such laws.
lU'SSI.VS WAY TO THE OPEN*
It> t*§ Russian Duma, the oth
er day .1 proclamation was Issued,
bv wa'ch Great Britain, France and
I'alv admitted the right of Russia
to »he Dardanelles and Constantin
coe. Tliis Is a way to the open
£• a that Russia has sought and
ept, because, in a thousand years,
she found it not. But the agree
ment o' the other Entente Allies
to give what may he called the
hear* of the Turkish Empire to
Russia I? ou a par with the recent
rehabi'ia'ion, on paper, of the Kiiig
do'" ot Poland by the Central Pow
ers. In the former case the acquis
ition c" the Dardanelles and Con
stantino .le is dependent upon the
triumph of the Entente arms In
the present wax; in the case of
PtlaiiJ iudependerce ansJ is
susequent fate will probably depend
upon tne triumph, of the Central
P.owers. It Is an easy matter to
give way what one has not got,
withal, a most unsatisfactory one,
esoecisl.y to thq expectant re
cipient.
Ta re seems to be little present
hone :•/ the recrudescense of the
Polish nation; npr does it seem
like! taut Russia's way ta the sea
by wav o* Constantinople will be
plain sailing for soane time, if ever.
The remaking of the map of Eu
rope and the division of th« spoils
of t*»e long drawn out and inexpres
sibly bloody war are yet to come;
and the map making and the spoils
division seem to> be a Jong way off.
I' is quite probable that the Turk
will be bundled out of Europe
should the; Allies be the victors,
but, U final victory rests Witit the
Central Powers, Turkey in Eu
rope will continue to be a blot up
on the map. Germany will insist
ux>on the hegemony of Turkey be
ing preserved, and so, of course,
will the Turk. Russia has earned
her ri^ht to Constantinople, if che
can get it, and her Allies are in
honor-bound to observe the com
liact but it all depends upon the
little "I*" that has played a part
impcrtan- and often tragic in the
affatTS of individuals and of nation.^

"T*.e Klondike Clan," by Rev.
S. Hall Young, formerly pastor of
t^e Ctrriova. Presbyterian. church,
a recent addition to the literary
world, is, as tlie title indicates, a
p'ory o: the Klondike and begins
w"h the first mad rush o£ the gold
a'ampede in '97, when. the famous
Scapy dmitb and his gang haunted
the trails into tho land of gold
to relieve the unwary aud unsus
oectiuj; of their money.
The author is In a, position to
Snow whereof he Bpeaks as be was
anions the firs* who underwent tb
hardships of the the Chllkoot pass
•n the wild dash to reach, the Klon
dike before deep snows made trav
el impossible ■until the next spring,
l' is easy to see that the author
knows and lovea Alaska. The
fhemo is big aud the Btory well
told. Men left their all for the
gold lust, and with each trying to
get ahead of tin other or keep bis
own place on the perilous trails
aud rivi re, it was easily a case of
ivhe M.rvival of the fittest
The characters of the Par90n and
Long Sandy are well and couVinc
!ngly drawn- and' Viva, 'he heroine,
I'd sweet aud lovable. There is
not Li tig she cannot do, from toss
ng a flapjack sex feet iu the air in
real miner fashion, to steering a
beat down the dangerous White
forsa rapids and shooting twenty
five cariDou in one hour when, the
vinter supplies of several of the
mineis were burned and they stood
'u danger of starvation, as there
• as no food to be bought in the
whole camp. But, then, we must
remember that Viva was raised on
a Mon'ana ranch, waa a sure shot
aud in the bahit of shooting ra
pids as long as she ©an. remember.
There are women, God bless 'em,
woo can raise to any emergency.
As to the scenic descriptions,
they are beautiful, depicting the
wonder and grandeur of God's mowj
"Una and river3. It is a wonder
ful country this Alaska—this land
of the north1—and must be seen to
be appreciated. The book "will
bring back vivid memories to old
imers, and cannot fail to prove in
teresting reading to all.
Rev. S. Hall Young dedicated

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
Wken It la Free of Dandruff, It Grows
Luxuriantly.
Kalr preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or Irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of
all hair trouble, and dandruff Is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand
ruff Is to kill the germ; and, so far. the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ Is Newbro's Herplclde—
ibsolutcly harmless, free from grease,
sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
It allays itching instantly; makes hair
glossy and soft as silk. "Destroy the
eause, you remove the effect" Sold by
