MOTHKlfS DAY
Sunday, May 14(h, is Mother's Day. "Each of us will find his way in
to his otru memory held and wandering in and out along the pathway of
the past, will gather forget-me-nots and heartsease for a hoquet. What
an aruiful of Bowers, with nectar sweet as that in the cups of rosebuds und
w.th fragrance outmatching Arabic gardens! You may go where-you like
along these roads of memory, into the orchard, or meadow, or the wood
land: but go stra ght to mother, whose ions; absence to some makes the
world a lonesome place after all the years. Let her speak your name once,
more, may you feel again the tender touch of her caress."
Mother's Pay was founded, nationally, bv Miss Anna Jarvls of Phila
delphia In 1914. at her requ- -it. the Hou. J Thomas Hetlin introduced in
fo •' e House of representatives a joint resolution to the effect that the
{'resident of t e United States should designate by annual proclamation t ie
second Sunday in May as Mot! er's Day and should request the display of
the American flag on all government buildings, homes and other suitable
places. At that time President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation on
May 9th. 1914. establishing this day fur the I'uited States.
There is no honor so riciilv deserved, and no tribute vhich should be
so willingly offered as t at which every son and daughter should accord to
the one whom we lovingly call, "The Best Mother Who Ever Lived."
THAT OTHER BKIIH.K.- -Last evening we went up to look at it. We look
ed .it it from above, then climbed do wn and looked at it from below. We
inspected the new o'er which ' as just been completed, and the old pier
wh . !i has been reinforced «. i. a heavy deep nosing where last years wa
ter dug underneath it. We noted t..e foresight displayed in the construc
tion of the pier, the levelling up of the bridge, aud the trussing which will
n.ake possible the taking out of two old bents, so I lie water can go Btralgllt
thru, w ■ i.it making a whirlpool under t le br dge. These two p.ers prac
tically insure for a!l future time the two trussed ections of the bridg'i.
Then we climbed up on the bridge. loo<i"d up tie river and then down
the river. Sometime wi.eu you are there do that. You will notice the
rid-e running about m dwav of the river bed. .Vow. the river flows to the
west of that rid-e If i igh w iter comes .tnd a tree or some other obstruc
tion deflects the river to ti e ea>t side tl town will be in great danger of
a Hoed. And if once the r.w-r breaks over, the people who decry spending
a little money on tiiat bridge, will ave a bill to s-ttle beside which the cost
cf the brid-e will bv trill.-, W at is now needed is consideration of
httildiug a third pier, th - one to he placed about the same distance from
the last one aud on the eas. s de of it. If placed at ail angle of about 30
degrees northeast a3 the brid ;e stands, it would catch the current of the
river and deflect it to the Rest where tne river is now running and thus
save the town the danger of a flood.
The bridge nuuld have gone out lust year if Mr Nye. Mr. Clark aud Mr.
Seemau had not paid the cost of brushing the bank so as to deflect the cur
rent. and reinforced the bridge Witlt heavy timbers. These same men guar
anteed to see that the labor »as furnisl ed far the construction of the new
pier if the town would furnish t e n.aterlal. The council voted $400 for
the material, and the council seldom spends that amount to as good ad
vantage. Mr. Nye has superintended 'he work and the job is creditable to
him and to the town. But it is unfair to compel these men to pay $400
out of their pockets for labor for th.s work. There are 15 automobiles in
the town which would be of almost no use except for that bridge, several
of the owners of these machines have recognized the value of the work
done and have agreed to heip out with t! e expense, others no doubt will do
so. others without machines have ex- pressed themselves as willing to con
tribute. This is the kind of sp rit that n-akes for progress and commun
ity improvement. Bear in mind that every improvement in the town re
jects credit upon you as a resident, and should receive your active and
helpful cooperation.
A lighted match, cigar or cigarette butt, carelessly thrown to one side
in the woods, may start a iorest tire which requires days of hadr work and
taousands of dollars to control.

"Public sentiment in Alaska is
splendid." said Governor Boue, "as
indicated by the American Legion

resolution in favor of strict enforce
ment. and a similar resolution by
the Elks at Juneau. The smuggling
problem across the Canadian border,
with the helpful cooperation on the

"My dear," said Hlldegard's mother, I
"Benny Travera 1m a nice boy, but

She doesn't move In your sister's

So the trouble began: Hlldegard
and Benny, seated on a mossy green
bank, discussed cordially tlielr elders'
objections.
"What mother wants," said Ben, "Is
for me to marry a social success. I
haven't been blind to my sister
Jane's game, either. Tills Is the third
time she's had that Barlow girl to

her all over every time she comes. But
I'll marry the girl I want, and that's

over and kissed Hildegard.

"But we are engaged, aren't we?"
he asked In an Injured tone.
The gtrl considered. "Well, mavbe
we'll call It that." she agreed, "be- j
tween ourselves."
"In the meantime," the young man
hegau eagerly, "you will let me take
you around occasionally, won't you
Hildah? And perhaps we might go
for our week ends, out to your Auut i
Glory's farm." I
Hildegard beamed admiringly.
"You do think of the nicest things."
she said. "Always I have told Aui't
Glory all my secrets, and she doesu't '
boss or irritate me like mother."
Her young lover arose and gave her
his hand. I

"she might be in favor of the Idea if

Hildegard laughed. "You are the

CHILE AND l'ERU
TO BE FRIENDS
Washington, May 12.—The first
step toward the resumption of dip
lomatic relations between Chile and

pute in the Tucna-nrica section of

government schools In Southeastern

formation from Mr. Lopp. chief of
the bureau of education, department
of Alaska, in regard to the removal
of the bureau headqu&rte'rs to Ju

MaKe This Your 1922 Slogan
" Try The Home Market First"
As a Northerner, a Ptoneer. an Upbuilder of Alaska, you ars
peeved every time you hear of the appointment of a "carpetbagger"
to fill one of the political offices of the territory, because yo« know
that there are capable and efficient men living in the territory who
could fill the offices with perfect satisfaction, who are helping to
build up the territory and make It a worth while place In which to
live.
Is Is a parallel case when Northerners send their money out
side for supplies that may be bought right here at home and give
better satisfaction than the "carpetbagger" stuff Imported from th«
States.
Is It not a fact that we are all working to bnild np the North
to make it a worth-while place In which to live, and by "trying your
home market first" you are strengthening the foundation for that
building?
Here's A Suggestion For A Starter
TRY THE ALASKAN'S JOB PRINTING DEPARTMENT FIRST. IT IS EQUIPPED
WITH MODERN MACHINERY AND MATERIAL, AND EFFICIENT
ARTISANS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE WORK
