Some citizens of Skagway have the idea, that the Town has no authori- tv over the streets and alleys, of this own. that they belong to anyone. This has come to the Council on uore than one occasion. For the in formation of such persons the follow inS letter may be of interest.
 This letter is a matter of record and can he found in Vol. 3, of Mis- .callaneous Documents, Page 56, 1t was recorded Dec. Ia, 1913. Put this letter on file so that when some a:seacre tells you the Town does not own and control the streets you may produce the proof and thus quiet his troubled heart. DEPARTMENT of the INFERIOR

 Washington. October 24, 1913. Mir. D. Mckay,
 Town Clerk,
 Skagway, Alaska. My Dear Sir:
 In response to your letter of Sept. 2j, 1913. you are advised that it has been held by this Department and by the court that the plating of a tovnsite, the recording of such plat, and the sale of the lots so plated constitute a dedication of the streets and alleys to the public without any other action. The Government has, therefore. no interest to convey in the streets and alleys of Skagway. The title to them is in the occupants of the municipality for public use, under the control of the municipal authorities.
 Very respectfully.

 Asst. Commissioner.

'Ah," said Pinky's mother, "but l

you the most of all.
He thought you were the biggest

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kjlmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.

Mr.. Blackbird, who had been nearby

apple.

plenty of ripe apples on the ground? y

claimed the tree, so angry now that
it shook all the unripe apples from its
branches, which fell on the ground,
bruised and worthless.
"There, you see what has hap

and chattering with glee. you have

you wanted to be thanked for some

"If you had not been so unjust to

fit of anger" and away he flew, leav-
ing the tree to think over what he had
said.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. n. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
EACH OTHER, ONE ANOTHER;
EITHER, ANY, NEITHER, NONE.

PROPERLY, the term leach other"
L is to be used of only one pair of
persons or things which stand in rela-
ton, and the term zone another" only
of more than two such persons or
things. Thus, we may say: ''The two
friends presented gifts to each other"
but not "to one another" "all Of the
nations of the earth should dwell in
amity with one another" not with
each other" There are, however, au-
thorities on grammar who hold that
the two phrases may be used inter-
changeably; for example, 1indley Muir
ray says, 'Two negatives in English
destroy one another
A similar distinction is made by
grammarians between ''either" and
"any," and between neither and
none" either" and neither" apply
to two; "any" and ''none" to more than
two. Thus, do not say, 81 have not
seen either of the three men,"
neither of the twelve jurors was con-
yinced of the mans guilt"

For Nienna,s Needy.

In order to aid the hungry people of
Vienna a land-colonization plan has
been devised by practical man, Peter
Weston, and approved in principle by
the three leading political parties and
government officials. 1t would set up
a central administrative bureau to ac-
quire and distribute land and provide
building material for standardized
homes. The colony is to be estab-
lished near Vienna, and each house is
to have a garden of at least 500 square
meters, while larger farm holdings also
form part of the plan, for the execu-
ton of which the state is asked to
appropriate 10,0OO,0O0,O00 crowns. The
scheme is now under consideration by
the government.
