R|DICULE. OF
 DRUGGISTS TO
 CHARGES MADE
Intimation That Alaska Business Men Seek Ad- vantage Through War
 Work 'IS SjIIvv

| Alaska druggists ridicule the arti cle as it was published in Juneau
 criticising the Rexall drug people and the Government for permittint 1 it's drug stores to become recruitjne agents for the United States mer chant marine. The article, as print
 ed in Juneau, said: { Tt appears that some weeks ago certain representatives of the Rexan Medicine people represented that druggists located on the coast of Alaska were more or less acquainted with the seafaring people of those vicinities. ---.e-----
 It is believed that the Alaska part at least, of the article published was a Juneau conception because of the fact that the Alaska druggists were in complete ignorance of the whole matter until after it was all lined up and agreed upon.
 The Gastineau Channel Rexall druggists, Mayor Elmer E. Smith, of Douglas, and William Britt of Juneau, both say that the Alaska Rexall druggists knew nothing what ever of any movement to make the Rexall stores recruiting agencies un- til they received the oaths of office to sign and swear to. After sub scribing to their oaths they received the notification that they were au- thorized to act as recruiting agents.
 They not only had nothing to do with the matter, but they never heard of it until they were advised of their appointments.
 There are only ten Rexall drug stores in Alaska, located at Ketchi- kan, Juneau, Douglas, Skagway, Cor dova, Valdez, Seward, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nome-one in each town. There are 5000 in the United States. The circumstances that the big enlistments in the merchant mar inc are in the East, on the Great Lakes and the large Pacific ports to the South, that there will not be enough enlistments in Alaska to man one vessel-there have been three in Juneau-and that the Rexall peo- pie spent $10,000 for advertising in the Saturday Evening Post alone, notifying the people that all Rexall stores are remruiting agencies, are themselves the proof that the situa- tiOn in Alaska with it's insignifi. cant relative importance, was not ta- ken into account either by the Rex all people or the Government when the arrangement was made.
 Further than that, the Rexall drug gists are donating their services and not one of those in Alaska have sought to make his agency a busi ness getter in the least degree.
 "The intimation that the Alaska situation had anything to do with the matter. or that Alaska represen- tatives of the Rexall people had any thing to do with it, is simply silly" said William Britt.

About the Beech Hill Road

Until the building of the Russell
road in about 1885, the main highway
from Skowhegan to Madison was by
way of Beech Hill After the Russell
road was built, the portion of the
Beech Hill road, just referred to, from
Smiths Corner to the Withee road
less than one mile, gradually fell into
disuse. Notwithstanding this, the
town took care of the highway, kept
the water courses in repair, and broke
i out through the winter. 1t was a
very importan piece for those who
had occasion to use it, but of course
the Skowhegan-M Madison through traf-
fic went by the Russell road.
This old time highway is badly
needed by the people living at and
about Smith Corner and by those who
live on the Withee road OF course,
there are many others who find it
very convenient to pass through this
short cut, rather than go around by
the Withee scheolhouse, about three
miles. or by the Russell road, which
would be five or six.
Besides the convenience and neces-
sity of this road, it may be said that
it is the continuation of one of the
prcttiest drives about SkoWhegan.
Last winter, the ice storm bent over
some trees across this highway which
have not since been removed. Until
this happened. the road was used.
winter and summer. People who live
in that neighborhood say that from
500 to $3.50 would put this road in
very good shape again for public traf-
fc. An interesting fact came to light
during a recent hearing of the county
commissioners about this same high
way There is no doubt that the
Beech Hill road from the Norridge-
wock river road at the Buker barn,
continuing thru this Smith corner
Wthee road, has been public high
way for very many years. Strange
to say, however, no record of its orig
inal laying out can be found.
The people interested are especially
earnest, because il this road is re-
opened they have plans which they
think may be matured and give them
a mail route. This would start in
at Skowhegan, turn to the right at the
Buker. barn follow the Beech Hill
road through to the Withee road
thence to the Horace Withee corner
road, and then around through Madi-
son to SkoWhegan.

Lakewood Notes

TONNES Boys Band is engaged for
a concert next Sunday at p. m.
II YOU wish to see James Durkin in
the splendid character part which he
nlayed in New York last season see a
ten day performance this week at
Lakewood Theatre In the play Sue
cess" which was called by the New
York Press 1.-The Greatest Play since
The Music Master" This is a costume
play and is an unusual performance
heing entirely different than any other
play of the season. The play is more
enioydble each act until 1t reaches a
beautiful climax In the fourth act.
Few plays have ever told a pref
tier story or told it in a simpler or
more unaffected way than does Lit
tie Peggy O'Moore". Love and pom
tics form the chief fundamentals OF
the piece and in its composition will
be found every ingredient that APP
peals to the lover OF the drama The
characters are for the most part very
loyableand where they do not possess
that attribute, they are at least strik-
ingly real This is the play selected
for next week at Lakewood Theatre
and 1t is one OF the most popular
bills now playing in Stock
During the entire month of August
LYONS Orchestra has been engaged
