Eggs not served is sign that has
conspicuous place in different lunch

tees Of different departments and COM

JUNEAU WANTS IT

Ia an editorial on the probable re. moyal of Gov. Brady from office the Jul ueau Record-Miner says:
 Juneau is vitally interested, first in securing the appointment of local man to the office, and secondly, the immediate removal of the office to Ju- neau. Not only is Juneau interested iu having the governor change his place of residence, but nearly the whole of Alaska who have at presen; to go hundreds of miles out of their way to do any business with the gov eruor, secretary of state or surveyor general"
 Of course Juneau wants the governor and his official residence, as it wants everything that comes Alaskaward, and it expects the remainder of Alaska to help i5 get them, yet it permits a few of it's tory citizens to prevent its cooperating with the other towns Of the district in their efforts to secure those things to which Alsskans are en. titled. These tories have opposed every movement for the advancement of Alaska that has been inaugurated in the last seven or eight years and they have demanded as their own every ad- vantage in the way of governmental favor that has been secured by the other people of the district. Juneau would not be an incorporated town to- day had 1t not been for the progressive activity of Skagway. Had it depended upon it's own efforts the revenues from the annual license taxes that it's citi- zens are compelled to pay would still be perquisites of the federal treasury. The removal of the headquarters of the district court and land office and GUS toms house from Sitka to Juneau were more largely due toothegst than Juneau ties.

Grip

"Before we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered Ou-- selves" No one can reliZe the suffer ing attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual eX- perience. There is probably no disease that causes SO much phsical and mental agony, or which so successfully deties medical aid, All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has rot recovered.
