EDITORIAL

For the past two weeks a mem bership getting campaign has been waged by the captains and teams composed of members of the Skagvay Alpine club, and altho' there has been much friendly ri Yalry, The result sought has been attained, and what started with a membership of some dozen mem bors, now sees the skagway Alpine cub with a paid up membership of 235.
 Each member joining during the contest will be known as charter member, and he or she will al so be an active member.
 Each member joining paid into the treasury of the club one dol lar. There are therefore $2S6 in the treasury, sIai ,llS
 This mCEey will be utilized for various purposes, principally for repairing and building trails. It is not the intention of the club to build wagon roads, nor automobile roads nor bOuIeyards. It will repair and build foot trails. In the east they would be called paths.
 The suggestion has been made by the club that Skagway set aside one day and designate it Trail Building Day." This is a good idea. We cannot hope to get assistance from the Road Commissioner for tn building of trails 70 places of scenic interest. That is not in the scope oS the commission. Its mission is 10 build pest and military roads, so We have no one upon whom to look for aid. We must do it our selves, and here is the idea of the Skagway Alpine club.
 It is suggested that the officers of the club secure the services of men who are familiar with trail building, and who are capable of directing the work of men. Assm- ing that work on the Dewey Lake trail, the Black Lake trail, Snug gler's Cove, and the trail to Soapy 5"Ht.h's grave is to be tackled first, men will be sent out to thoroughly examine the trail to ascertain about what work is to be done, and how masr men they will need to do it, together with an idea of what tools will be required. They will then be put in charge of the required number of men, the tools furnished, and at an early hour the party will fare forth, intent on fixing that trail or bust.
 The Trail Boss will divide his men off into gangs or groups, and each group will begin to do the work laid out for it. Perhaps on the trail to Black Lake there will be five or more such groups of men say of five men each. Think of how much trail each group can take care Of.
 New comes the question of the day. It must be made a Skagway day4 It must be made a day at which every man in Skagway may leave his accustomed duty and get out and do his share of the work. There must be no drOues. h order that the setting aside of such a day may work as little hardship as possible on the merchants let the day be chosen early in the season, before the spring rush begins.
 skagway needs the trails, and skagyay must build the trails. Let us then come to the front, and in hearty cooperation assist the Skagway Alpine club to make the trails from Skagway leading to her accessible places of scenic grand eur second to none in tho north.

in singing America. Following
luncheon the matterof assisting inrais-
ing funds for the loyalty meeting was
discussed and it was voted to appoint
a committee of three to take up this
work. 1t was voted to march in a
body in the loyalty parade, to be given
in the city next Thursday afternoon.
and it was stated by the committe3
that flags had been purchased to sup

Theo. F. Schroeder, of Milwaukee, who
is engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in
side of European war lines. Mr..
Schroeder has spent several wears
abroad in this work and he held up to
the view of the Rotarians the horror
and hideousness of war as it exists
today; of the millions killed; of the
millions shot to pieces, but Just
able to live and drag out miserable
existence; of those rendered crazy in
the trenches from the tense nerve
strain. He convinced his hearers that
there was nothing equal in the whole
sale killing line to real live war by
human beings.
Mr.. Schroeder's object was to show
the excellent work which was being
done by the Y. NJ. c. A. in this awful
world war. The "Y'' is providing a
place to which the soldier may go to
spend his leisure time in reading.
writing, amusement, etc. If there are
any who cannot write, others write for
them.
In closing he expressed himself as
being pleased at the way the Wausau
Rotarians jumped to the relief work Of
the home soldiers, and he hoped that
the club could have a few of its mem
bers down to attend the Y. M. C. A.
meeting to be held in Milwaukee soon.

BIRD HOUSE EXHIBIT

bird homes were made of logs, birch bark,

ors Almost every school in the city
had exhibits of their work, and were
made by boys from the third to seventh
and eighth grades. The houses ranged
in prices from ten cents to five dol

sold Saturday while many had notices
attached to them mot For Sale" the

Some of the houses will probably be
on exhibit this week, but Saturday
was the big day. From the appear

are not going to use the sling-shot
at birds and injure or kill them, but
make them comfortable and get in
close touch with them, which is the
aim of those interested in the annual
bird house exhibits.
