sKAGWAY IS SHIPPING
 VEGETABLES TO CORD0VA
-O-O-

Every Westward boat coming into Skagway carries to Cordoya con signment of Skgaway grown vegeta- bles. The boats of the Alaska Steam ship Company plying between this port and the Westward take fresh grown garden produce from the IL. D. Clark ranch for a retail house in Cordova, and the Cordova merchant is building up big trade on the fact that he can supply the Alaska grown perishables within a few hours from the time they are gathered in the Gem City.
 It takes several days for garden stuff to reach the Alaska cities from the Sound, and when they arrive are generally wilted, but the Skagway brand is put on the Westward market, fresh and crisp. Local produce brings better prices and is worth it. Of course, it is generally known that much of Mir. Clark's ranch products go to Whitehorse and the cities of the Yukon. and it will be but matter of few years until Skagway garden CTS will supply the Alaska demand, and more money will be made from that source than is made today in min ng-Skagway Alaskan.

BEAT IT HERE TO MARRY BEFORE NEW
 LAW TOOK EFFECT


 The last couple to secure marriage license before the law goes into effect requiring outsiders to give five days notice, were Paul ViIlezueve and Mary Evans, both of Providence who hust- led into the town clerks office this morning and secured the necessary docume lent. Then they asked Assistant Town Clerk William T. Mullins to per form the marriage ceremony for them.
 Villezueve, well dressed good look ing man, said he was a barber and AS years of age. His bride who was a real blonde and stylishly dressed blushing1y confessed to 80 years. Both have been married before and di- vorced.
 After Assistant Town Clerk Mullins had read the ceremony which made them man and wife he said:
 You did not have much time to spare. If you came tomorrow instead of today you would have had to wait five days before you could get a Ii- cense.''
 .swe knew that" said viliezueve. i've read the law in Providence and we knew it was going into effect to- morrow so we decided to hustle over here today"
 He then left the office with his bride on his arm. Both were smiling as they inquired the way to the Strat- field hotel where they expected to take lunch.
