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 ono 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.

INDIANS THREATEN
INTERNATIONAL WAR
Hilly Hague, the mail carrier
from Glacier crook gold camp, 70
miles west of Dawson, brings
word (hat war is threatened be
tween the Tanana tribes of In
dians and the White river tribes,
and that fighting is likely to start
within a few weeks. The quarrel
is over a dispute as to hunting
grounds. The situation is re
ported to be acute.
A few days ago a White river
Indian saw a Tanana Indian bend
ing over a camp in 'White river
territory, and shot the Tanana
Indian in the back, killing him in
stantly. it is believed that the
murderer is a member of Copper
Joe's band, a famous old warrior
who is said to huvo made his
headquarters formerly in the Sel
kirk country. lTe became later an
outlaw there and moved to the
hoad of Ladue or White river.
The Tananas, known also as tin*
Tat las, rendezvous at the brad of
Dcnnison fork, a branch of the
Forty-mile. Holh sides have been
following the tracks of caribou
which in a vast herd numbering
hundreds of thousands **iovod
from tlii* American side to tho
Canadian side south of the dis
triol toward While river. The
While river Indians resent the
crossing of the boundary by the
Indians from the American side.
A brother of Hie murdered man
has sent word |<> the while men
on (ilacier saying that he would
like one thousand rounds of am
munition. lie also advised that
if the mounted poliee went after
the murderer, they should not
send one lone man, but a num
ber, because there might be re
sistance. The case has been re
ported Io the mounted police at
Dawson, who will investigato.
There is no fear among the
while men in (lie mining country
along Ih<* boundary, bill some In
dians fear thai if war slarls il
may result in many deaths. In
I lie early days the Indians of Ibis
region were tierce fighters. The
miners Ihromrhout the country
are safe, as the immediate dis
trict where Ihe trouble occurred
is unsettled exeepl by natives.

MANY FURS ARE
8ENT OUT BY MAIL
Washington, Feb. I • — I"n 1 iI i*»»
cenlly there lias been no way by
which complete statistics of (ho
annual shipment of furs from
Alaska could he obtained by the
bureau of fisheries, says Com
missioner Bowers' annual report
for the llseal year 1911. Accurate
records are kept of the number
and value of the fur-seal skins,
also of all other furs shipped out
of Alaska by freight or express
and passing through custom
houses, but records of shipments
by mail have been lacking.
Through the poslofTice depart
ment an arrangement has now
been made whereby this deficiency
will he remedied. Blank forms are
supplied to the various postmas
ters and shippers to he filled out
and signed by the shipper, certi
fied by fhe postmaster and for
warded fo fhe bureau.
The number of such completed
blanks already received shows
that the quantity of furs sent out
by mail is very great.
WI0KER8HAM INFLUENCE
IN THE IDITAROD
Iditarod, Feb. 3.—The Demo. I
rrafir primary convention which
was held in this city last night
was devoid of anything sensation

np was as fo whether the dele
Kates to the territorial convention
and the members of fhe primar
ies would bind themselves not fo
volo for Wickersharn, in case the
(deleK«fe wore lo run again. The
question was prudently left un
settled, because fhe influence of
Wickersharn predominates here.
