Unprecedented Prosperity.

We are sometimes told that
local option kills town.
Just now certain Missouri pa
pers are printing brewery matters
supposed to come from Indiana,
or Ohio, but in reality most of it
is prepared in the Office of the
brewery press agent in st. Louis,
telling Of the baneful effects of
local option.
Galloway County, Missouri, is
dry; Fulton, the county seat, is
dry. Therefore it is up to the
brewery press agent to show us
how dead" Fulton and Gala
way county are.
No use in dating his press mat
ter from Ohio, when he has such
conspicuous illustrations here in
Missouri.
A telegram from Missouri will
not be so expensive as one from
Eastern Ohio, and the brewers
are economizing these days.
For fear said agent will over
look Fulton and Galloway county
we print the following from the
Fulton Gazette.
There are lot of Missouri
county seats that would like to
be "killed" the same way Fulton
has been:
The Fulton Gazette said recent
lly:
Fulton will soon become an i'm
portant financial center if the re-
cords of Monday, the March
stock sales day, can be repeated
with regularity. From a perfect
ly reliable source this paper learns
that ,he bank clearanees for Ful
ton Oh that day were more than
1925, COO. or only little short OF
a million.
This surpasses the best record
of the past by a good many thous.
ands and is a still stronger augury
of the good times i'm store fol
Galloway this year. This report
coming on the heels of the banE
reports last week, strengthen,
the confidence of the people il
the financial condition of tn,
town and county.
From some reports received
from merchants in regard to tn,
business done Monday it mus
have been in proportion to tn,
bank clearances.
When Fulton banks begin t,
do a million dollar business il
one day. it is time for Fulton t,
put on some airs in the form o
street paving, etc.

GET BUSY, GENTLEMEN.

Rumors are constantly coming from reliable sources to the effect that the federal court will no longer hold a term in Skagway if Thomas Lyons of Juneau is appointed Judge of the First judicial division. That these ru mors are true is more than probable.
 Lyons is Hoggatt satellite and it is an open secret that Hoggatt desires the Skagway term of court to be held at Juneau. The court cannot be removed from Skagway without the consent of the congress of the United States. but congress will undoubtedly be largely guided by the recommend. ations of the acting judge.
 The Chamber of Commerce made absolutely no effort to retain the headquarters of the Alaskan Road Commission in this city. although for months it was rumored that the head quarters would be transferred to Val, deg. Whether or not the Road Com. mission could have been kept here is problematical; but at least it would have looked we'll to see the Chamber of Commerce take some action in the matter.
 Last December the Chamber of Com merce did wire a protest to Washing ton. D. C.. against the removal of the federal court. But the matter is sure to come up again and the Chamber Of Commerce should get busy. The holding of the federal court in skag way is of vital interest to Skagway and this town will be a heavy loser if the court is removed.
 The citizens of Skagway do not want to see the federal court re moved. It is up to the Chamber Of Commerce to do something. Drop your internal squabbles, gentlemen, and get together. It's too late to watch the barn after the mare is stolen.
