LIT Us BE PREPARED

Yesterday We published an article ia which we quoted F. F. W. LOwle, the I,,al agent of the Canadian Pa ciIic railway as having said before a number of transportation men that 'Skagway needed some means Of transportation to and from the various points Ot interest in and about our town"
 Now how are We to get this msaus Of transportation. It is purely a matter that the skagway Commercial Club should take up, and !t is not too early in the sea- son fer the matter to be settled.
 Each time that the question of helping along some matter that leans towards the entertainment of transieuts is broached, a howl goes up from somebody, who yelIs chat the tourist business only helps a few-sne curio shops. the hotels the restaurants, and the transpOrta- tiou people This is purely false hood, and is the bEathering of krCckers, and those who DatrOuize mail order houses, and choke the eagle on a coin so hard before they let Icose that the coin in many in- stances is mutilated.
 Now is the time to boost. Now IS :he time to get out and h0lIer your head off for some methods of taking these tourists to and from our places of interest so that they will remain here Every business. house in skagway is benefited by every tourist who comes to this town.

 The Denver Glacier trail should be made a TRAIL, in every sense Of the word, and We should have a iirst-cIass, sea-worthy launch, for reaching points on Lynn canal, and the trail to Lake Dewey should be repaired and the various foot bridges rebuilt, so that tourists and even ourselves, could enjoy the

Peoria, Ill.-Three wives have ap-
peared to claim the estate of j. Frank
Pierce of the Peoria Terminal rail
way, who was killed a few days ago
in an accident. None of the wives
knew of the existence of the others.
Mary Pierce, who was married to
Pierce last October, lived With him
until his death, and made funeral ar
rangements, when another Mrs. Pierce
arrived at the undertaking parlors and
claimed Pierce as her husband. The
second Mrs. Pierce, who was Miss
Edna Stone, declared she married
Pierce year ago. They say Pierce
had been living with both at times
during the last few months.
Some former friends appeared in
court, telling of another woman Pierce
married few years ago. Her claim

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
300 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada ss q whole has enjoyed won.
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products Of the farm, the orchard and
The centres of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page Of history in
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
q billion bushels of grain produced,
Taxes in Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed $35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave of abb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
TOR in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag-
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916, and 1t is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
Ognizes the seeding and harvesting OF
Canada's crops as being Of the first
importance is perhaps the best evil
dence that consCription or any In
crease Of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity Of Canada
will never be considered by the author

Owing to the number who have en-
listed for overseas service it has been
found necessary to secure farm labor

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
It generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations TO clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer lrri-
fates. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
tnjure and makes a delightful, effer-
Vsscent lithia-water drink.--Adv.

San Antonio, TeX.-Co-operation to
limited extent by the Mexican mill
tary authorities in the work of the
American punitive forces in Mexico,
was indicated by their offer to Gen.
Pershing of the use of the telegraph
and telephone lines.
The offer was made to the aviators
who landed in Chihuahua last week
and was reported by Gen. Pershing to
Gen. Funston.
The drivers of the aeroplane that
visited chihuahua said they had been
treated courteously by Gen. Guiterre
commanding officer, after it was dem
onstrated that they had come on i
friendly mission, although before that
fact was demonstrated to the alarmed
public few stones had been thrown
at them and shot or two fired. No
one was injured.
The present position of the ad-
vancod columns was not made public,
but it was known that cavalry col
umns under Colonels Brown and Dodd
are driving south from Satevo with
all speed. Officers here had no in
formation that either force had gone
so far as Parral, but said the receipt
of such in formation would be no sur
prise. Gen. Pershing himnelf is moving
south Nlong the trail to Satevo per-
t;0nany directing SO far as possible
the pursuit of Villa and the search
Of the mountains and plains adjacent
to the trails being followed.
Reports at headquarters show that
few arrests have been made of
those who took part in the rid on
Columbus, N. NJ, month ago. Gen,
Pershing, who reported the arrests,
did not indicate where the men we're
captured or whether they were pris-
oners taken at Guerrero.

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIulees Of the system each
morning and wash away the

Those Of us who are accustomed to.
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as daisy always
by washing the poisons and toxins
from the body with phosphated hot
water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the

COL Dodd'S Men Getting
to Look Like Mexicans
Shoes Cut and Uniforms Torn, They
Have Drawn on Natives
Clothing.

Columbus, N. M.-Three weeks Of
man-hunting through the desert and
mountains of Chihuahua has totally
changed the physical appearance of
the smart cavalrymen who crossed the
border under Col. George A. Dodd,
near Culbertsons ranch. A vivid pic
ture of the soldiers as they were four
days ago was brought to Columbus
with the arrival from the front of
truck train which carried supplies to
Col. Dodd's command.
Men whose shoes have been lacer-
ated by the stones of the mountains
and sands of the deserts are wearing
Mexican sandals, and sandals made
from the hides of beeyes slaughtered
for their meals. Men whose clothing
has been torn into shreds by mesquite
and cactus are wearing such clothing
as could be obtained from MeXicans
living along the route, according to the
stories told.
Substantiating these stories, mes
sage came to military headquarters
from Bigradier General Pershing re-
questing that the extra kits containing
extra clothing of the soldiers of the
Seventh and Tenth cavalry regiments,
the Two regiments at the extreme
front, be rushed to them at once.
Truck Crew Meets Dodd's Men.
A truck train under the command
of Capt. c. B. Drake, consisting Of 27
trucks, went to within seven miles
of Guerrero, its crew being the first
Americans TO meet the troopers of
the Seventh cavalry after their en-
gagement at that town.
"The men wore nondescript lcDk-
ing crowd" said Capt. Drake. Their
faces were caked with dry alkali dust,
they had been without regular rations
for some days coffee, salt and tobac-
co were beyond price, and yet, through
their haggard dirtiness, the men smiled
with their eyes and told of their reso-
lutte purpose to get Via"
Capt. Drake also told of reports eIr-
rent throughout the Guerrero country
that the American troops obtained
their information that Villa had been
wounded from an American physician
taken captive by the bandit hand and
forced to treat the leaders wounds. He
said that he did not learn the name
