 The placer mining that made this north town familiar name over the world has played out. No longer do goid-crazed men wash out great for tunes from the beach sand. Those days have ticked by.

 When the big rush was on at Nome there were no 20- acre claims stakod- they were 20 feet. The beach was no mons lend. hence ther could not be any regularly registered claims. but there was an unwritten law that q claim was 20 feet front on the ocean, and ropes were the divisions.

And even then some of the crew would risk death in two.mile swim at night.

Miss Margaret Fuller Taylor Of Sydney, New south Wales, Aus tralia, is a visitor ik Skagway, hay ing arrived on the Prince George 8 week ago, and since that time she has been spending her time sight seeing.
 Taking advantage of the special trip o' the Str. Tutchi to Atlin last Saturday, Miss Taylor went to Carcross, and made the trip into the placer camps. She returned Thursday evening and will sail south tonight on tho Prince Rupert to Victoria, in which city she has made her headquarters.
 Miss Taylor has been absent from her home for more than two years, and during that time she has travelled over a goodly part of the American continent, reserving her Alaskan trip until the last, and III speaking of the trip to the north land, she likens it. to the dessert thu piece de resistance of glorious meal. When asked what she thougf of the trip she said:
 "To most Australians, Alaska stands for a far distant and inacces- sible country-a place to visit in which one would have to endure hardship and discomfort
 Those coming from the temper ate and sunny climate of that land where the average number of days in one year without sunshine is. sev- enteen would probably provide themselves with an abundance Of warm clothing and furs to with stand the rigors of this Arctic zone'

Large Party
 Scales DenUer

Taking the regular White Pass train Thursday morning a party un- der the guidance or Rev. L. H. Pedeisen made the trip up onto Denver Glacier.
 From the station the trip to the glacier was made without any especial interest, put when the foot Of the great mass of ice was reached, the task of circling the southern moraine was begun, and slowly but surely the party worked it's way around the southern limits for almost mile, before attempt ing to mount the glacier.
 Fully equipped with ice creaPers, pike poles and ice axes. Mir. and Mrs. J. F. Hardin, James Hardin, MT. and Mrs. J. l.. McMahon, Mrs. J. A. Barrett, MT. and MTs, H. L. Carpenter, Mrs. Darlington, Miss Katharine Crane, Miss Louise Ross, Mrs. Andrew Stevenson and Miss Ruth Stevenson, the members of the party, were carefully guided on up the steep incline Of the ice mass to the turn at the north end which brought into view the great ice pinacles.
 In making the trip over the ice, vast crevasses of great depth had to be circumnayisated. While the trip is one without danger under proper guidance, there is considerer able danger of slipping and falling into. some one of these immeIse cracks or craVasses ii great care is not exercised.
 Upon reaching the northern angle of the ice pack, the tower ing oinnacles came into view, and those making the trip said that the sunlight falling upon the opalescent ice, was reflected in brilliant Jeoi ors. The msmbers of the party ex- perienced all the thrills of an aVal- anche when one of the huge ice pillars broke from it's fasteninss and crashed down at their feet breaking into millions of tiny par ticles.
 The return was made Withou' mishap, and tha party arrived safe' ly on the afternoon train.

# Australians Knew of Beauty
 of North Many Would Come

the charming pictures of life in this country l registered 8 strong de- cision to avail myself of the first opportunity to see Alaska for my self.
 "Now on my return to SkagWay T feel so surfieted with the wonders and beauty of the entire trip that it is difficult to adequate ly express my thoughts.
 "The charm of the snow-crowned mountains, the wooded islands dotting the cuorse, the quaint light houses and the many ports or call. teeming with interest for those who care to know somthing of Indian lore or who are interested in the remarkable history of this remarkable country where cities have been known to change their sites in a single day and where the industries of mining and fishing hold sway.
 And then the trip inland! We read books that were written a. bout the trail of '9S, but to have seen it and to have walked on it oneself! To have heard from from the lips of men and women who "came over the trail" of the hardships and terrors-also of the good times of those pioneer days and to have met 80 many splendid character who helped to make this country what 1t is, is to me a priv ilege and a pleasure I shall not readily forget. And of the climate what a picture shall be sent to that Land of the Southern Cross.
 Truly,
 The summer-no sweeter was ever; The sunshiny woods all athrill.'
 Knowing Australia and Austral- ians I feel sure that when this glorr ous summer trip 's better known a very large percentage of those who cross the Pacific wall come to See and hear and enjoy for themselves.
 This message goes out to them: It's the great pig, broad land way
 up Wonder,
 It's the forests where silence has lease;
 It's the beauty that thrills me
 with wonder,
 It's the silence that fills me with

Wondrous interlacement! Holding fast to threads by green and silky rings, With the dawn it spreads its white and purple wings; Generous in it's bloom, and shel- tering while it clings,
 Sturdy morning-glory.

 Golden morning glory. ,

BILE you are from a cold, constipation,
Indigestion, biliousness and sluggish
bowers-you always get relief with
Cascarets.
Don't let your stomach, liver and
bowels make you miserable. Take
Cascarets tonight; put an end to the
headache, biliousness, dizziness, nerv-
BUSINESS, sick, sour, gassy stomach,
bad cold, offensive breath and all
other distress; cleanse your inside or
gans Of all the bile, gases and consti-

GIRLS! HAVE 4 MASS
or BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
SOFT, GLOSSY, WAVY
A small bottle destroys dandruff and
doubles beauty of
your hair

Within ten minutes after an appli
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-groWing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully dra wit through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have all appearance of abundance; an
incompatible lustre, softness and lux
uriance.
Get a small bottle Of KnowltOn's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that it has been neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment
that's all-you surely can have beau
tiful hair and lots of it if you will
just try a little Danderine.

CLUB DISCUSSES
MOVING PICTURES

The Twentieth Century club held
it's usual meeting at the library on
Thursday afternoon The time was
devoted to Mrs. Jas. A. Hills review
of Hugo Munsterberg's "The Photo
play" Munsterberg says:
"It is arbitrary to say where the
development of the moving pictures
began In America, which has be-
come the classical land Of motion pic
ture production, the history may be
said to begin with the days Of the Chi
cago exposition in 1898, when Edison
exhibited his MICROSCOPE"
The development from EdisOn's half
minute show to "The Birth of Ma
ton" did not take place on American
soil. The decisive step was taken
when pictures of Edison's type were
| for the first time thrown on the
screen. This step was taken in Eng
land in 1895. The pictures were first
shown in the United States in 1896.
The photoplay does not furnish
merely a Photographic reproduction
of a stage performance. At first,
merely an inexpensive substitute for
the theater, it is now developing an
| independent art of IT'S own which is
fundamentally different from that Of
! the theatre The photo artist can
change the background and surround
! ings of the acting from instant to in
slant He can show us the storms of
emotions in the souls Of the players.
! By means of what the photo artist
calls the "clOse-up" the particular OBJ
! iect of attention is brought wildly
before the audience, while the rest Of
] the picture gradually fades away from
; the screen.
While there is no doubt that the
| first pictures were of a low artistic
level, being cheap melodramas or vul-
gar farces, owing to the development
! of the art, some managers are sue
! ceeding in producing better plays.
Leading educators have Joined in
endorsing the foundation Of univer-
sal culture Iyceum for the education
Of the youth of the land in picture
studies Of science, history, religion,
geography, art, architecture, etc. $
3 Not only the news pictures
and the scientific demonstrations, but
also the photoplays can lead young
and old to new regions Of knowledge.
1t is a new art, and no one can see
the ways which the photoplay may
open.
