WHAT TO DO WITH
 THE WORKOUT FLAG

A while ago every patriotic citi- zen was urged to get a flag; now the government comes forward with a timely suggestion of how proper ly to get rid of wornout flags.
 That is a problem that has both cred many. The tattered flags couldn't be thrown in the garbage can, couldn't be sold for old rags, and couldn't be used for anything else without danger of arrest for de ecration. The adjutant general O the army offers @ suggestion. He says: x 1
 "OId or wornout flags should not be used either for banners or for any secondary purpose. When 8 flag is in such a condition that 1t Is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should not be cast aside nor used in any way that might be viewed as disrespectful to the pa- tional colors, bu should be destroy ed as a whole privately, preferably by burning or by some other method lacking in any suggestion of ir- reverence or disrespect due the en- blem representing our country - Spokane Chronicle. :.

BEARS BLOCKADE ROAD 4
 FEW MILES FROM DAWSON

NJ. D. Manchester, of the Yukon Gold force, while coming down the Bunker road, near the Canadian Klondyke mess houses on upper Hunker creek, recently saw a biz black bear and two cubs in the middle of the road. The mother bear took the Ford for an enemy and held her ground and evidently intended to give battle, but the car approached slowly. By the time the gas machine was near Mrs Bruin the cubs were well on the way toward the hill, and she aban- doned her position to those who have to follow in beaten paths, and hit off in the wake of the young sters. Manchester drove on, satis- fled to let the bear family have it's own way about its personal af- fairs.-Dawson News.

NEGRO TELLS TALE s.
 OF BELGIAN PRINCE

Liverpool, (Correspondence) ---' William Shell, a negro of Jackson vile, Fla, the only American sur viYor of the British steamship Bel gian Prince, which was sunk July 31 by 8 German submarina with the loss of thirty-eight lives gave de- tails Of his experience to the Asso- ciated Press. He said: .
 "A torpedo hit the engins room. A submarine then quickly came to the surface about 200 yards to starboard and fired at our wireless apparatus. We left the Belgian Prince in three boats and had got fifty yards from the ship when the submarine came alongside and asked for our captain, who was takel aboard and inside the U-boat.
 "The members of the crew were ordered to hold up their hands, and the Germans asked if there were any gunners among us. Although there were two, We said mo-
 "The Germans next asked if we had any pocket arms.
 We were then ordered to the deck of the submarine, where we were told by the commander to re- move our life belts and to lie on the deck. This we did. Then the commander went into the Doats' threw the oars into the sea and had his men remove the provisions After that the plugs were taken out of holes ia the boats which were then cast adrlft.
 The submarine went to the northeast for twenty miles, the com mander taking the life belts to the top of the coming tower and throwing them overheard. hid mine under a raincoat, and as the submarine began to submerge l tied 1t around my neck and jumped into the sea.
 The rest of the crew stayed on deck until they were swept off by the sea as the boat dived. Ie was g terrible sight. One by one they threw up their hands and went down, or fighting to keep up, they splashed water as they disappeared,

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

Much oI the prosperity of Skag- way and of Alaska during the sum- mer season is due 10 an influx of tourists who come 10 our shores some to stay q day, others a month, and others for the season. 4 better Type oL people cannot be found anywhere. The class ot people able e. travel are those who have! ac- cy4y.isled things, who are build eas for the welfare of mankind, people who are successful in their chosen professions. Tourists not only spend their money in Alaska but they give us Of their knowledge and In return take back home the ruth about the country, its scenic beauties, facts about its business Iite and they retain Q knoweldge Ut the kindly nature and friendli- Hess of all true Alaskans.
 U seems to be an error in life tgut among the good there must generally be some of bad and We uIL among the people visiting our saOres every summer persons who expect Alaskans to give them a va cation, pay all their expenses, and they give nothing in return except probably an amateur show for which they charge large prices. As a class there are more college gradu- atcs in Alaska per capita than in any ether country, so Alaskans can appreciate a really good entertain ment when it comes and they are able to distinguish the amateur rom the professional.
 such transformers as just men toned put on amateur perform ances by children or others at prices which are not popular and cause the public to lose confidence in the legitimate lectures which Ere given and which have been received by the best people of the states. The same thing is true in general way in every line of business. They seem to think it Is the duty of newspapers to give them free advertising, or they used space already contracted for by legitimate business men, and if they do contract for space they avoid payment Of the same by put ting it off until the last moment and then take a boat elsewhere where they think the law cannot reach them.
 This class Of person of course, is an exception to the large number of fine people who come to Skagway every year, but it requires con- stant watching on the part of busi- ness houses, who certainly are generous in what they do for tour ists, to guard against the bad among the good.

THE BEST PROOF
skagway Citizens Cannot Doubt It,

Doan's Kidney Pills were used
 They brought benefit. ..
 Time has strengthened the evil dence.
 Has proven the result lasting.
 The proof of merit is convincing.
 L. Bauer, 2O3 S. Delmas Ave, san Jose, California, says: T was talk en with a terrible pain in my back. If I stopped, lifted or made a mis- step, darting pains shot through of suffering. I got a box of Doan's my kidneys causing the worst kind Kidney Pills, being told they were the best medicine to be had for pains in the back and other kidney trouble. They removed the pain and distress and I have never had 0 return of the complaint. "(State- ment given October 23, 1912.)
 THE RESULTS LASTED
 On May 22, 1916 Mr.Bauer said: "My cure has proven to be a per manent one. I never stop praising Doan's Kidney Pills"
