Co.,. then spoke on "The Port of Skag- way, He said: Gentlemen
 Excepting only one condition, Of all The eitieS and towns of the whole of southeastern Alaska the one with the brightest future Is the porl of Skagway, Situated as it Is on the northwest point Of Lynn canal. she sits the kev and the lock to the vast empire, the basin of the mighty Yukon and extending on to the wonderful camps of Nome and York. She Is the terminus of the only railroad In all Alasha-a railroad that has within two years been conceived, completed a distance of forty miles, and which has transported oyer It's roadbed thousands of tons of freight and passengers.
 All this has been accomplished within the last 24 months, therefore lt Is not un- reasonable to predict that within a few wears this road will extend on down the Yukon to Dawson, to St. Mlehaels, to Nome, and finally vest Its fore-foot in sight of the Russian empire on the north ward of the mining district of York.
 With thls railroad extending many thousands of miles; with It's branches, of many more, penetrating up the KOyukuk the Tanana. the Big Salmon and over into the Atlin district, gathering up the rich and valuable ores of copper and gold in and about White Horse. transporting them to the terminus of this great networks Of sailroads-the port of Skagway; where will be erected stamp mills, reduction works and smelteiS. Can you doubt the future of Skagway ? (Applause.)
 There is but one manaee to our prosper ity; there Is but one calamity that may befall us there Is but one opportunity to wreck our hopes; to destroy our fortunes and cause US to desert oJr homes, and that danger Is the granting to Canada eoneeS sion of land to tide water on Lynn Canal. | believe, my friends, we are in immi- nent danger. believe we should from now on sound the toesin in no uncertain manner; let the coast ring from Nome tC California with protests against thi: threatened Jnhoy alliance bv the Com mission of the government, who will sOor deliberate on the boundary question.
 Let me say to YOU, should ever Canad' reach tide water in Southeastern Alaska | will not be the port of SkagwaY, but inor' likely Dyea or Pyramid harbor, and lr that event Skagwav as a business poin' will be shrouded in death; the happy pos abilities have painted for you will be a: a dream. a myth; Skagwav will be a de serted village, and all there will te left ol railroad to the interior will be two streak: of rust from here to Bennett.

 Kolly's Idea of n SpoOOh.
 C. E. Kelly: 6revltv Is the soul of wit. The most powerful drugs are In the small' est pellets. A drop of prussle acid Is more powerful than the most eloquent sermon, and gets one to-somewhere sooner. A single drop ot altar of roses will perfume whole keg of water such as Eastman sells. Therefore say Skagway Is all right.
 The Wholosaling. Juhn Kalem: am perfectly convinced that Skagway can be made the jobblng center of the interior. lt Is only 2 matter of a short .ime before we have plenty of money and plenty of stock to represent the manufacturers of the east.

The Secretary Gives Figures.

Mr. $. c. Kaufman being called upon said that eS secretary Of the chamber and as there were SO many members present some of whom were new to the work Of the chamber. he would like to tell some thing of what had been done by the Seere tarv during the one year of existence of the chamber. This vas part of the reporl of the secretary that had been interrupted at a previous meeting.
 The chamber had held forty meetings during the year. all of which had been fairly well attended and had shown nc dlmlnutlon of interest In the work under taken. About 2so letters had been received and II67 written. In addition to the lat> ter there had been twelve petitions and several special reports prepared and sent out.
 The financial standing of the chamber was good. There had been received from Initiation, dues and other sources sIo27. 20, of which had been expended sI767.o5, leaving a balance on hand of s76s.Is.
 The membership showed forty members in good standing, six absent and seven in arrears. The chamber had had two deaths and the same number of reslgnatlons. The deaths were Thomas Whltten and H. C. Parker; the reslgnatlons those of A. Cope land E. B. Wishaar, both energetic mem bers, who were called away by business from the eitv.
 The chamber began mOdestly, and 1t was satisfaction to all that during its first year lt was able to accomplish so much. The work of the secretary, however, had constantly increased and Is increasing with the growth and importance of the chlm> Der. and it was only the appreciation by members of the amount of work eniailed upon the secretary which inspired him to continue to hold the position.
 Mir. Hi.iop on smoltsrs.
 John Hlslop was called to speak for the railroad. and spoke of this meeting as ore that would have a place in history. He stated that ill health had prevented Mr. Hawkins from being present. He alluded to legislative matters briefly, and in regard to the railroad said that 1t came here to make money, and any individual who promoted his own business helped his fel- lows.
 lt came here as an individual might to make money; not for the benefit tf the town. Of course the town would be ben efitted in the ratio of success the railroad met with. But Tacoma relied on the rail- road and Seattle went ahead. The people of Skagway should aeceLt this as lesson.
 The railroad would put in branches whenever there was a fair chance of profit and this would bring reduction works and smelters to Skagway In The near future, and following them would be manufactor> es. But he recognized the menanoe to fut- ure prosperity in the possibility of the government ee1ing Pyramid Harbor 10 the Canadians and if nothing was done by

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY


the Philippine Islands by
the Government
Fifty tons of candy have been
sent to the soldiers in the Philip
pine Islands by the commissary de-
partment of the army during the
last three months and large
amounts to the soldiers in Cuba
and Porto Rico.
This is Hone upon the advice Of
the medical officers of the army,
because it is a physiological fact
that a moderate consumption Of
confectionery promotes health and
satisfies a natural craving of the
stomach.
Candy was lever furnished to {.
the United States army before, al
though it has been commonly used
as a ration by the French and Brit
ish troops in the tropics.
This explodes another old-fash-
toned theory that sweets were in
furious to the digestive organs,
while a moderate use of sweets is
actually beneficial.
Very few things are injurious,
and the food cranks who advocate
the use of a few grains and vege-
tables and decry the use of sweets
and meats are in error, as a whole
some variety of meat and vegetable
food is absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the highest condi-
ton of health.
The best rule to follow is to eat
what the appetite Graves, and if
there is any discomfort or trouble
in digesting meat and sweets, the
difficulty can he readily overcome
by the regular use after meals Of
some safe digestive composed of
pepsin and diastase, which will as
sist the stomach by increasing the
flow OF gastric juice and furnish
the natural peptone lacking in
weak stomachs.
The best preparation of this kind
is probably Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which may be found at all
drug stores.
Years of use have demonstrated
the value and effectiveness of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases
OF impaired digestion.
