A NEW BUSINESS BLOCK
Coburn Garage a Modern and At
tractiye Building

We shall publish next week a pic
ture of the recently completed Co.
burn Garage, a handsome and modern
fire proof structure, nov open for
business. It's location is on Madison
Avenue, connected with the nearby
Hotel Coburn long known by tourists
and the travelling public as among the
best hotels in New England.
This is among the few Garages in
the State built of cement blocks with
steel trussed roofs. This eliminates
all posts and other supports inside,
leaving an ample and unobstructed
main floor space. The building has
a frontage of fifty feet on Madison
Avenue, a part of the State highway.
1t is unusually well lighted. there De
ing plenty of windows on both front
and side. The sales room, show room
and office border the main street ard
has window room in which a car Of
ample size can be put on exhibition.
The Garage has all modern convent
ences for the benefit of it's patrons,
especially ladies, including waiting
room and toilet.
The building is a handsome addi-
ton to the business portion of Show
hogan and the contrast between it and
the stables which rendered this lot
cality u~nsightly for so many years is
very marked.

BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-
moval have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood the
test of forty years. Insist on having
Hoods, for nothing else acts like it.
There is no real substitute. Get it
today. Sold by all druggists.

A BIG BOSTON AND n. Y. SUCCESS
Coming to SkOW hegan Direct from a
Six-MOnth Run at the Wilbur
Theatre, Boston

William Hodge ("The Man from
Honey in his latest and greatest
play success THE Road to Happiness
That decided footlight favorite, Will
liam Hodge, who made THE Man from
Home" so famous and who starred
for six consecutive seasons in that
now celebrated Booth Harrington
play, has scored an equal hit in his
latest big success, "The Road to Hap
piness." All those who enjoyed SO
much this unique actors portrayal of
Daniel Voorhees, Pike will be eager
to behold Mr.. Hodge in his present
role of Jim Whitman. They will
hail with pleasure the announcement
that he is to be seen here at the
Skowhegan Opera House. Jan. 9th.
During the entire present season
this star in THE Road to Happiness"
has been enjoying a record run at the
Wilbur Theatre. Boston, and he is to
come direct here from that city, with
his original company intact. A year
g "1he Road to Happiness ran for
26 weeks at the Garrick Theatre,
Chicago. 1t is described as "a
dy of cheerfulness" and the central
character of Jim Whitman, a young
jack-of-all trades and would-be law
yer, is said to be as quaint and thoro-
ughly American a type as was Mr..
Hodges Pike. If anything, Whit
mar is more racy of the soil and is
more full of native humor than even
Pike was. The Boston ~playgoers,
like the Chicago reviewers, have been
unanimous in their praise of Hodge
in this latest role of his. They all
agree that the part fits him like a
glove.

AUTO TO RUN TO INTERIOR

The members oft he Alaska Road Commission at Valdez are enthusiastic over the SUD- eriority of the big new 40 h.p. White gasoline truck that they received last week. It will soon be given a thorough run from Valdez to Fairbanks and back to Chitina, carrying mail for the government. This ex- perimental trip Will demon- s.rate to the postal depart meRt that the mails can be car ried much quicker during the summer months via Chitina than by sending it from Skag- way via Whitehorse and Daw- son to Fairbanks. This consign- ment of mail will be sent out soon after the Fourth of July, and will consist of i.20o pounds. At the same time Col. Richardson, president of the board. will make a trip of in specti0n Of the work on the government road. No effort will be made to break the records. but the new car, with its many improvements, is- clearance, its greater power, along with the improvements made on the road. assure the breaking of the record of last summer. when the automobile made the distance from Fair banks to Valdez in five days. -C0rdoya Daily Alaskan.

ALkl SOUTH WITH
 A BIG LOAD

With a big cargo on board and all the passengers she could carry, the Alki got away for the south shortly after one this afternoon. She had an even hundred passengers on board when she reached this port and 30 more boarded her here, so that every stateroom is full and seven settees are oc- eupied. While here she took on board one thousand cases of salmon at the Ketchikan cannery and $500 more from the steamer Northland which had brought them in from the Waterfall cannery of the Alas ka Fish company. She also took on 12 tierces of mild cured salmon from the Lind vile Packing company, a west coast concern.
