A YOUM
GETS HOMESICK
And Saves Herself an Problemat
ical Future In Lonely Yu
kon Town
Answering' an advertisement,
inserted in a New York newspaper,
by a wealthy Alaska merchant to
go to live with his family and be
comfortable for the rest of her
life, Elizabeth Arnhult, I i years
old, a poor orphan, came so far
as Washington with the man, on
ly to grow homesick and write to
a sister, with the result that she
was detained here last night by
the policc, and sent to the house
of detention. She will be sent
back to New York today.
Mr. Beaumont, the Alaska mer
chant, who is more than GO years
old, came to Washington to at
tend to some business with the
land office, in connection with a
valuable picco of properly he
own* in Fort Yukon, bringing the
little girl with him. He has been
here several days, slopping at a
prominent hotel. He was prepar
ing lo leave, in a few days for his
Alaskan home, and to take the
girl with him.—Washington Post.
Beaumont, who run* a little
general merchandising store at
Fort Yukon. has hail other
"nieces" and "daughters" with
him there, refusing l<> permit.
I hem having anything to do with
Ihe residents of that place or to
hold any communiicalion with
Itieni, causing no end of gossip
in the little village town. It is
a matter inlet which Alaska au
thorities should long ago have
looked into, either for the pro
tection of the girls or in .justice
lo Beaumont, who was held under
grave suspicion of wrong doing
by his neighbors.

STROLLER WHITE 1
The Stroller, In reply to an Invi
tation to stand for <the legislature
from the Skagway district, modestly
declines the honor, having in mind
a few complications which might
srise were the fifteenth candidate to
•throw his hat in the ring. Here's
the Stroller:
To the people of Skagway: —
Yours inviting the Stroller to pro
cure a residence in your town in or
der that he may be eligible to elec
tion as your representative to the
territorial legislature which you i
think you will have when that badly!
cut, slashed and pruned and other
wise mutilated and amputated home
rule bill passes, was received and
has been duly considered; but the
Stroller is foroed to decline to even
consider the suggestion. He is of
the opinion that those sending the
invitation had not thoroughly canvass
ed the situation as It exists in your
town, for, when the Stroller was
there six weeks ago he was button
holed by no less than forty of your
leading citizens, each of whom whis
pered to him In confidence: "I ex
pect to represent this district In the
territorial legislature. Anything you
can do for me will be greatly ap
preciated. Have something."
In view of the fact therefore that
I the Stroller promised each man of
the forty to do what he could for hi in
and also "had something" on each
of the forty, it would look very much
like a betrayal of confidence for the
Stroller to »tep in and "knock the
persimmon." Besides, under your
home rule bill, aa it left the upper
house of congress, there will be no
thing for your representative to do
and any one of the forty ought to be
able to fill! the position. In case
the bill should be changed giving
your your legislators any authority,
the Stroller agrees to furnish your
representative all the advice he will
require and the ends desired will be
thereby served practically as well
as though the Stroller was your man.
The only difficulty in the way is
you have so many local aspirants for
the position that there will be
enough ot them disappointed to de
feat the one you may select for
your candidate. The situation is
one which demands delicate handling
and to do that It will be necessary
to use considerable diplomacy in or
der that each of the thirty-nine who
are "left" will think he will be the
favorite next time. In other words,
you must play politics—lie until you
are black in the face.
To Whom It May Concern.
IS'oliec is hereby given that I will
nol be responsible for any debts
made or contracted by any person
or persons for which contracts or
agreements I would be responsi
ble in law were this notice nol
duly given. J. W. LITTLE.
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 juat beoause
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. Wo will ferlnf It be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.

Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
il. a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
(own and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
