LISTEN AND I'LL TELL YOU THE SAD STORY OF MY LIFE
No mailer how dark the night
may be, remember she likes the
show. Last Saturday night's per
formance proves the value of
telling the people about some
thing that interests them.
Your "show men" are alive and
are consulting with me as to get
ting big houses, and when you
hear their propositions you will
get right on the band wagon and
ride. The manager of the Orph
eum has made arrangements for
a most generous offer. He will
present every patron of his house
Saturday night with a spoon and
every tenth number will draw a
set of spoons.
For evory purchase of over $1
in my jewelry store until Satur
day night at 9:30 I will give a
complimentary ticket to that show
and Mr. Pinkus says it will be the
best he has ever produced, and is (
getting out a special program for
the event.
All who hold tickets, whether
from mo or from tlie box office
may make an estimate as to the
total attendance at the first and
last'-show. A large oil painting
will be awarded to the closest fig
ure. Register youur name and
your estimate on a card or slip
of paper and leave at my store up
to 9 o'clock Saturday night.
I have straightened oul not
moro than half my stock, but I
am selling a great deal and each
day brings new bargains to light.
We found about a dozen pieces
of cut glass, a new shape, and
expect to have more nugget stuff
before we are through.
i Also found a big bunch of
rings and more watches, and
that's the way it goes. I'll quote
you some prices tomorrow. I
have so many bargains I don't
know where to begin. Every day
something new turns up. Try.
one of my "turnips."

Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
Its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try It.

Mr. W. M. Finical was presented

gade of the town, but he was al
ways on the job.
The watch is a beautiful piece
of jewelry workmanship. The
case is of raised virgin gold with
a diamond set in the center. Mr.
Finical's monogram is engraved
on Ihi* face of the watch and the
inside of the ease contains the in
scription, "Presented to \V. M.
Finical by the citizens of Yaldez
in appreciation of services ren
dered as.chief of the lire depart
ment. January, 11M2." The
watch was purchased from Plant
I & Co., jewelers.

Messrs. G. F. Bunnell, William
Crary and \V. II. Brennan 011 be
half of |he citizens of Valdez.
The next game in the bowling
tournament for the cup offered by
Tom Lawson will be played next
Thursday evening.
8TUCK TONQUE TO
IRON, 18 DYING
Because his blood won't clot,
Louis Gagner, \ years old, is
bleeding to death in a hospital at
North Yakima from a tear in the
surface membrane of his tongue.
He tore this small bit of his ton
gue when he pulled it loose from
a piece of railroad iron to which
it had frozen.
The wound will not heal be
cause of a constitutional condi
tion which prevents the boy's
blood coagulating when exposed
to the air. The arteries supply
ing blood to the tongue were tied,
I but another break occurred and
| the bleeding began again.
