PHYSICIAN HAS
 FINE OFFICES

Few people in skagwag and a smaller number in the district i'm mediately surrounding this city realize the fact that Skagway now has cne cf the most up-to-date and surgeons offices west of Chicago, and in connec- tion with this office hospital accom- modaijons equal to those found in only the larger cities of the west.
 Dr. w. Gardner Gable, physician and surgeon for the White Pass route has but lately moved into his new office in the Bank of Al aska building, and it was only with just pride that he modestly show ed a representative of this pa per through his professional apart ments.
 The offices are oN the ground flcor, and as one enTers he passes through a YestibuIe into a cozy re- ceution room, off from which is Dr. Gahie's private business office. From this office one passes into g large, sky-lighted room fitted with modern operating chair, cab inet and porcelain washing fixtures, and in this room is the aseptic sterilizing apparatus, and other cab inets for holding the various deli cate surgical instruments. Di- rectly off from this room is a lava tory and also a small well appoint ed laboratory, where all scientific tests may be made, the light being either natural or artificial.
 Passing from this small operat- ing room, one enters the large operating room. Here are all the appliances known to the science of surgery. This room is dazzl- ing in it's brilliant whiteness, which defies germs and infection. The walls are finished in white enamel as is all the wood work. The fur uiture here is of the latest steel, white enameled, and looks like marble in it's snowy hardness.
 Latest and most approved op- erating tables, cabinets, light ing devices, and other scientific paraphernalia are arranged in a methodical mannre. One does not need to be told that this has been planned by a student. He Sees for himself.
 Completing the circuit, one pass es out of the major operating room into the recovery or rest room, and thls room appeals to ones sense oi the beautiful. It is cOzy and well furnished. Sickness and di' sease and operations are not as, sociated with this little apartment One rather thinks that he is iI some cozy little drawing room The door is opened and again you come into the reception or wait ing room
 Much study has been devoted tc the plan for this physicians model office, and much credit is due Dr. Gable for having installed such modern equipped office and Skagway is to be congratulated urcn having q man who claims this city as his residence, a man who places the interest of his patients at such value that he has given to them an office which any large city might well be proud of.
 At the hospital suite of two new rooms have been remodelled from two single rooms at the south end of the Hospital and is furnished throughout with new aseptic furniture and is well night perfect in it's appointments.
 The other rooms of the White Pass Hospital are being newly painted and renovated, new furni- ture being added where needed, Wi'h the modern equipment, in- cludina the X-Ray apparatus and operating room facilities, and with tho very competent Miss Mary Pat erson at the head of the nursing divisicn, patients will find them selves well taken care of and will enjoy more comfore than at any time in the history of the Hospital.
