SKAGWAY's OPPORTUNITY

Skagway Is the gateway to the wonders Of Alaska.
 Approach to it is made by a water way that affords the most wonderful voyage in the world, a trip of a thousand miles by sea with noun tain ranges on either hand, wood covered and snow capped
 Beyond lies the Yukon country, famous for the men who first broke its white wastes, for the rich gold that lured them on against hard ships that will be recounted years alter the last Of the pioneers has gone Jc his final claim, and for the grandeur Of it's scenery, its noun tains and the enwrapping mystery of midnight sun
 This position means something. It means that Skagway is the natural link between outside" and "in- side" It means that through Skag- way will pass the ever-increasing stream of Alaska-bOund tourists.
 Where these tourists have been numbered by hundreds they soon will ba numbered by thousands. In- stead of going to Switzerland to climb the Alps, where thousands have climbed before, men and wo- men who are devoted to the alpine stock will come to the north country, where await them scores of mountains that have never been sealed.
 Skeptical ones may doubt this prospect. That does not in the leas lessen the certainty that it's full fulment is assured Skagway is the logical entrance to the inside" It is also the historical entrance, which tourists will naturally want to enter by, just as did the pio- neers. Besides, one misses much of the scenic beauty of the inland passage if one omits the last stage Of the trip through Lynn canal, where the glaciers run down to the sea.
 Even if Skagway does nothing, 1t Is bound in time to be developed. The very strtaegy Of it's location will compel such result. But Skag- way, having a wonderful path right to it's door, has not been waiting and Ia not gUlng to wait It Is telling the world what the world does not yet suspect, that a summer in Alaska is worth a cycle in Cathay or any other supposedly fa- Yored place of the earth.
 The opportunity to continue this work of heralding is now presented by participating in the Canadian Pacific railroads proposed Alaska exhibit, to be displayed. through Canada. The c. P. R. intends that the exhibit, showing not only the scenic attractions for tourists but the natural resources of the coun- try, in mining, agriculture and fish cries, shall be shown this summer and fall at Canadian fairs and ex- positions. ! Fl
 A committee from the Conner eial club is today calling upon the
The daily Alaskan., 1917-04-25

merchana and asking them to OOA operate by loaning articles for the exhibit that will represent skagway The response to this request should be the preparation of such a dis play as to leave no doubt tn the mtnI of anyone who sees it that a visit t6 the skaSway country is ehe real grand tour.

ENGLISH UNDERWRITERS BETTING WAR WILL END

LONDON. April 16.-A feeling in some quarters that the war may end before the last of the year is indicated by the fact that in underwriting cir cles business was done Saturday ito pay total less if peace is not declared before Dec. 31" at 45 guineas per cent.
 Some time ago business was done at the rate of 15 per cent against the declaration of peace within IS months.
 A report in Wall street that 10 to 1 was being offered at Lloyd's that peace would be concluded within 90 days was described as more in the matter of a iocular bet than attempt at trade. The wide betting odds frequently men, toned are not seriously considered as indicative of market opinion.

STEAMERS MUST BE PREPARED FOR NIGHT
 EMERGENCIES

It was noticed yesterday when the steamer Alaska of the Alaska Steam ship company arrived from the north, that her lifeboats were swung out on the davits, ready for lowering, and an enquiry revealed the fact that orders had been received that all steamers plying the Pacific must be ready at all times for emergencies, due to the presence of submarines and raiders in the Pacific Steamers travelling at night, must be dark, showing not a single light, and must anchor if nee essary, or travel at half speed, if the night be dark The wireless appara- tus, when the steamer is within the three-mile limit must be taken down and dismantled, all of which makes war seem very close to home, and loom up with terrifying nearness.
