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 oonfldent
it will bring results. Try It.

10 KNOWS
P. P. BUCKLEY
Father Is Dead In England and
Son's Address is De
sired
A wry pathetic taller was re
ceived by Al. Dowling from a
Mrs. Buckley, of London, Eng.,
seeking information of her son
Patrick P. Buckley, who is some
where in Alaska. Mrs. Buckley
states she has not heard from
him for four years; at that lime,
she says, he was in Heancsia Hot
Springs, but as there is no such
place in Alaska or the United
States, she must he mistaken as
to the proper address. He has
been mining and prospecting in
Butte, Montana, before coming to
Alaska. His father has died re
cently worrying over the silence
of his son, who he feared was
dead, and the mother is in a fair
way to follow the father.
Should this notice meet the eye
of anyone who has known of him,
if they will communicate to Mrs.
Buckley, H The Parade, Amherst
Park, London, Eng., or to Al.
Dowling, Vahlejg, it will be great
ly appreciated.

OF PARALYSIS
Lew Dillman, Well Known Car

Dillman, u carpenter, and
well known in nearly all the coast
towns of Alaska, suffeied a stroke
of paralysis on the. left side this
forenoon aud is now in the hos
pital. lie is under the care of a
physician.
Mr. Dillman was making some
repairs to the building in which
the commissioner's ofTice is lo
cated for Judge Heed when he was
suddenly stricken. A physician
was telephoned for and ordered
the sufferer taken to the hospital.
Il«' has not been enjoying the best
of health for some time and this
fact no doubt contributed to the.
cause of the stroke.
IDITAROD MINERS
QO TO KUSKOKWIM
The Aniak river, in Ih«» Kusko
kwim country, lo which a stam
pede is now reported to be in pro
gress from the Iditarod, is the
place where the first gold discov
ery in Alaska was made by the
Russians, in 1832. It is not known
whether they ever attempted min
ing on a large scale or whether
they at thai lime found gold in
paying quantities, but it is the
first time on record of gold be
ing found in the territory. To
this day the river is known as lb
Yellow river on the Russian maps,
because of the wold found Ih.sre.
The Aniak river lies about 25
miles below Kolmakofskv, where
a fort was built by I.ukecu and
called Lukeen's fori, the same
year as the discovery, 1832.
II is reported of the present
strike Dial gold has been found
011 live different creeks. As a con
sequence the town is being depop
ulated by those crossing overland
to the Kuskokwim. A town lias
jbeen started at the mouth of I lie

STORY OF CAVE
18 NOT BELIEVED
Somebody lias discovered a
cave in southern Indiana and I lie
informal ion is being conveyed to
the world in the press dispatches
along with the usual slalemenl
to the effect that "the cavern is
believed to be as large as I lie
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky."
II is somewhat remarkable thai
every person who falls into a sink
hole anywhere on earth should
imagine llial he has discovered a
rival lo Maniiuolli Cave. II is
seldom indeed that the discovery
of any sort of a natural hole in
the ground is heralded lo the
world without the accompanying
intimation that it is bif,r enough
lo make Kentucky's bij,r cavern
look like I lie proverbial thirty
cents. Newspaper readers whose
memory goes back over any ex
tended period of years can read
ily recall many such discover
ies and announcements. Most of
these underground marvels are
never heard of any more Iml in
I he meanl iiue the rightly-named
Mammoth Cave continues In do
