| BUILDING COSTS
| Are Not EXOrbitant
The impression seems to
prevail that building ma
terial prices are very high
and that the prospective
builder who holds off will
be able to buy bargains
later.
The fact is that build
ing material prices have
advanced somewhat in
the last three years-but
not in proportion to the
advance in other lines.
And the difference is
this: The advance we
have had to make is
bound to be perman-
ent, because they are.
based on permantly
higher producing costs
such as advanced wa
ges, higher freights, etc
There is no element
of artificial Initiation in
our prices and they
must eventually go
higher.
Today is your op-
portunity to build at
reasonable cost, and
You may be sure that with
a worldwide demand for all !
construction materials after |
The war, you are taking no
chances in buying. and
building now while prices
are comparatively low
Come in and let us
talk it Over with
you.

One Weak Spot
Many Skagway People Have a Weak Part and Too Often It's the
 Back

Many people have a weak spot.
 Too often it's bad back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist.
 Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backache is often from weak kid Reys.
 In such cases a kidney medicine is needed.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For Dackache and urinary ills.
 Good proof of merit is the fol- lowing statement.
 James Cubbon, Mgr. Victor Clean ing aud Dye Works, 1908 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: My kidneys were in bad shape and every time I bent oyer it seemed as though my back would break. The kidney secretions were unna- tural, being scanty, painful and IT, regular in passage. My work as tailor kept me bent over and that made mo suffer sll the more l was lame and stiff all over and could hardly straighten up. It wasn't any time before Doan's Kidney Pills had helped me and was soon cured Of every sign of the trouble"

PRESENTED WITH PAPER
 WEIGHT

Wm. CanaYan, well known In Skagwav where he formerly resided, recently sent E. J. Shaw 8 paper weight made of copper ore found in the Kennecott mine. The weight which is surprisingly heavy, was made from the ore just as it was fouad. only highly polished, and in appearance is about the color of gun metal. Several streaks of native copper can be plainly seen on the surface which add to it's beauty. MT. Shaw has the paper weighr on his desk in the Alaska Steamship COmpany's office.

WHAT IS WRONG WE ASK?

Officers on the Princess Sophia report the bow of the Mariposa can be plainly seen from a passing sbIE. Something is 'phOny," eith- CT the report that came to the Daily Alaskan is wrong or else the Sophia officers saw a mirage. But the whole history Of the sinktngs IR the past few days gives one the CreeOs.
 First there was the Alki which bit 8 rcck, was completely aban- dOned, and then footed by the crew Of the Manhattan. Next came the report Of the sinking of the Prince John and that it was 9 total loss. Close upon the heels Of this news came 3 denial of the loss of the John from the Grand Trunk head quarters, but said that she had merely hit g sand bar and sailed serenely on. We soon learned that the Manhattan, IoOter of the Alki, was wrecked 40 miles out at sea. The MeripOSa rescued all but sey- CD O. the crew, and all the rescued men acted Queerly and surly. We wonder why? At Juneau police lined the gang plank to arrest the Manhattan crew. Six escaped. Next We get the news of the sinking of the Narlposa having on board many nFominent people and a valuable cargo of copper ore to be used in prosecuting the war. The news was that the MaripOsa sunk in 225 ia thous of water, which is 1850 feet, and wGs 8 total loss. Now comes the word from the Sophia that her bow is out Of water, and Juneau papers say the whole top Of the ShlD can be seen at low tide.
 What is wrong, We ask? Are the people the victims of circum- ltanee, CT Is there a well planned plot tc sink the ships just before they could be used by the govern msnt. There should be an investi- sEtion. We cannot be too scrupu- lOus in time of war.

OUR LESSON FROM ITALY

The lesson for us in the United States Is that we must with all speed and with all energy forward and complete our preparations to bear s serious part in a war that we eaa now see is to be one of magnitude and not short.
 First Of alive must see to it thas the men in charge Of this gi- gsntic work are equal to their task. Private reputations, high standing, personal friendships, count for nothing in time Of war, All cur allies have made changes without number. Commanders of great regulations, statesmen of long experience, have been set aside, to the end that the ablest, Ghs best, the most efficient might, Jn tbSs supreme hour, be charged with the duties upon the faithful psrEormance of which so much de bends, That must be our rule. The Aaneriean people, too, must under stand that the contributions and sacrifices they have already made Rrs but the beginning. All our re seurees of men, money, and material hara been pledged to the purposes

Editor Daily Alaskan

Editor Daily Alaskan:
 There is one man in this town, at present employed at a good sal ary, who is doing his very best to down the Skagway business men, and particularly the grocersy Where ever he can get people to listen to his pears of disdom, he starts then and there to explain to his audience why it is folly to trade in town and how much they can save by sending outside for goods, especial ly groceries.
 This man knows nothing of the retail business, and very little of any, from our personal observation. He never comes into our office and bri gs prices of goods for COmpari- son, nor does he ask to see our in voices, which he would be welcome to see. He simply loves to hear the sound of his voice and to i'm press his audience with his busi- ness ability and knowledge.
 Unfortunately there are some who are misled by his statements and become indignant at the home mer- char; for fancied overcharges and other grievances, and taking this mans advice, they order from be- low. and invariably, with unsatis- factory results.
 While some admit it doesn't pay 60 senA below for goods, others do not like anyone to think they have beea "stung," so they say nothing, but dc a heap of thinking. It is seldom however that the local merchants get the benefit of any doubt, although if there is a req sonable doubt at all, why shouldn't he? He is indeed a factor in the Ipbuilding of Skagway, in the main tenance of our schools and in the social life Of the town. He gen erally spends his income right here and is always ready to do his bit for the common good. Of course any merchant must get a profit to permit him to exist: That profit de- bends 8 great deal upon his busi- ness ability and experience, and of course the amount of sales made. The public expects good goods and sery;ce. and from experience we knew the best is the cheapest.
 If the Skagway retail stores served their customers on the basis of the ! service given by outside mail or der houses, there would De no end to the complaints We would get, and we would be either forced to go back to our present standard of merchandising or close up.
 We realize of course that the gentleman" above referred to has DO interest at all, beyond his pres ent occupation, in Skagway. He owns nothing in the way of real estate and does not expect to make 1 Skagway his future home. What I does he care for anyone here? Yet 1 strangely enough, that class of peo- pie will always find listeners and heIieyers The Skapway merchants and grocers particularly deserve credit for the manner in which l they have conducted their business, and for the reasonable prices eharg- ed for their wares. We believe in a square deal and are not afraid of honest criticism.
