Wells do more to ruin the complexion
than any other thing, says the Ladies
Home Journal" The skin needs the fric-
ton of HI air. Constant covering inter-
feres with the circulation of the healthy
action OF the pores. 1t heats the face,
and keeps 1t covered with an oily mois-
ture which catches the dust and dirt and
gets into the pores. When the face is left
exposed to the air the dust is blown off,
the skin is kept dry and clean. 1t also
stimulates the circulation of the blood
and gives color to the cheeks.

Brussels lace wells. writes Norma Bell.
are once more becoming quite the smart
est thing a bride can wear. Tulle is no
longer the fashion, and there is no doubt
that real lace does give a cachet to a
toilet that no amount of tulle could
achieve. and should the bride be young
and nervous, such a veil gives a protec-
ton against the curious chances of the
crowds that assemble to see the bride
which q thinner material could not give.

This. he says. will do away with the uef,rious and vicious practice oi smuggling, or Of selling it without .egal sanction. lie therefore advices the people oi skagway 70 act sensibly in the matter and get together. hold an election. and decide 10 favor ot local option. This election. he says, should be he'd At the eXpense of those desir- ing licenses. Even should full vote not be pollcd, an estimate of the senti- meut Of the people of Skagway could be found from the result and if any thing like a fair majority was secured iAyoring local option then he will not hesitate Co order the issuance of licenses. Judge Johnson says he has given the new law considerable study and attention and that a general elec- ton on the part Of the people Is the quickest way out of it. A Alaska has no census to go by he says he will not ask that A census be taken now and has decided to place both Juneau and Skagway in the fifteen hudred Popula- tion class. This will materially simplify matters for the City Council Of Skag- way and based on those figures it will be necessary to secure majority of the fifteen hundred. Sitka has alreydy declared in favor of local option toy a vote Of 2OO against 70, and Juneau held her election last Friday, which result ed in favor Of local option by vote Of 3j5 against 45.

This is the outcome or th, recent attempt made to force a combine of the steamers ou Lake Ben nett destined for Dawson trade. tap ,,in Rathbone came up specially from the Sound with instructions to bring about such combination that would insure permanent schedule Of pass enger and freight rates. Captain kath- bone has returned from the 1aSe and he has evidently not met with much su, cess. Al hrs' Captain Bailey Ied sSo rate to DaW- .on. exclusive Of meals and berths' and today the wire between Skagway aud Bennett was kept hot exchanging com pliments resulting in big card being put ou, by the Canadian Development Company announcing the startling low rate of slO to Dawson City from Ben nett on the new steamers. This IS m- terpreted as a flank movement vn the part of the larger and heavier capital ised companies 70 force the smaller fries into line on the combine or crush them out Of existence by this bold stroke. X slO rate is, of course, ruinous one. and no company or no boat owner can stand it any length ot time. Whether it succeeds or not remains to be seen. From present indications the disastrous steamer ventures Of the low CT Yukon a year ago are going Co be repeated on the upper Yukon rivers and lakes. ln other words there are too many boats ,or the prospective business and ALirge percentage ot them with no capital to back them will either have to sell out to the richer companies or 70 70 she wall. Oi course the gold seeker will get The benefit oi il and it will send a grrst many to the Yukon who would never have thought Of lt before. It would also tend Co make business good for Ihe steamers plying betweea Seattle and SkagwSy for everybody will now want to go 'o Dawson ii iI can be done for slO from Renuett
