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.

FUR REVENUES
EUR ALASKA
Alaska Roads and Sohools Would
Benefit by More Than
$100,000
As mentioned in the press dis
patches some lime ago Governor
Clark has been in Washington
conferring with the secretary of
Commerce and Labor and with
members of the house and sen
ate committees on the, territories,
for the purpose of having the pro
cce'ds of the fur seal operations
on the Pribilof islands covered in
to I he "Alaska fund," instead of
into "miscellaneous receipts" of
the United States treasury. If
I his step is taken, the earnings
from the sealing operations,
which are now being carried on
exclusively by the department of
commerce and labor instead of by
a private corporation as former
ly, will be devoted to road build
ing and the support of schools
in Alaska.
When the governor submitted
this proposition to I he depart -
inent he found no opposition fo
the plan, while several members
of the house committee on the
territories agreed with him that,
since the fur seals form one of
the natural resqurces of Alaska,
the proceeds of sales of seal skins
by the government ought to be
devoted directly to public im
provements in the territory. Leg
islation by congress, however,
will be necessary in order to put
the plan in effect. Kven if I he
government. hereafter, should
kill nol less I ban 7,500 seals an
nually, the net proceeds to be de
voted to Alaska objects under the
proposed plan would probably be
not less than $125,000 each year.
