The Time
i
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 merohant 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 merf*3. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

j
j Won Two Out of Three Games at
the Big Place Last
Night
Tin? howling team from Fori
Liscuin scored a victory over the
civilians in the Ramus played on
the alleys at the Big Place last
night. There was a big crowd
present to witness the game, the
Fort team having good boosters
which talked the Yaldez men out
of the game. The rooting for the
Post, team was not confined to
their personal friends as many
others were pulling for their suc
cess, as they have, been in hard
luck in former series. Hull, of
Fort Liscuin, was high score with
198 pins, and CSanly, of Yaldez,
high average with 103 1-3 pins.
Following is Ihe score of Die

SEE ALASKA
THEN EUROPE
Sim; Alaska firs! and Europe lat
er is tho advice of Mr. II. <«. Hol
land, ail engineer and prospector
who has spent, many years in
Alaska, says the Detroit. l-'ree
Press. 11<• says no country in Ihe
world affords more beautiful
scenery than does Alaska. The
water trip from Vancouver is Ihe
most delightful thai one can im
agine. The steamers thai ply
from there to Skagway are Ihe
hesf that operate on the roast, and
it takes about, four days lo make
the trip. The SI rails of (ieorgia
and oilier inlets are truly won
derful, and as ihe steamer cuts
through Ihe water Ihe lands rises
lo a height of 1,000 feet or more,
a sheer bluff. One never grows
tired of looking at Ihe scenery.
"Once in Alaska the tourist will
find the Yukon Ihe most wonder
ful of rivers, for il is navigable
two thousand miles, which is a
greater distance than any oilier
stream. Moats of the Mississippi
river style ply the waters.
"Alaska continues to turn oht
gold in great quantities, and I
understand that there has been
another strike and Ihe prospec
tors are hurrying to the scene.
Aside from its mineral wealth il
is becoming a great summer re
sort, as each year finds Ihe steam
ers doing a heller business. And
having been in many part of the
world I can suggest thai a trip
in August is superior to any of
which 1 know, for Ihe midnight
sun is something that will cling i
to memory for ail time." . |
DIVIDENDS FOR ;
FAKE OIL GO
II is being told about a certain
group of prft—ricli-«niicks llial I hey
organized an oil company and sold
huge bundles of ils slock. The
idea lhat (hoy .should have any
real property behind the pretty
pyeen certillcates had not enter
ed into their heads when they or
ganized the company, but I he
stock went so well that, on the ad
vice of counsel, they invested a
small part of the proceeds in a
piece of ground in southern Cali
fornia and set honest Swedes at
work punching holes into il.
Then the federal sleuths track
ed the promoters to their lair. For
this and other pieces of business
several of them are working for
the government without pay, while
others are presumably occupying
a lodge in some vasl wilderness. J
Meanwhile the Swedes faith- j
fully plugged away and suddenly
brought in a gusher with an in
itial (low of 25,000 barrels a day.
The company is selling oil |o I he
Standard Oil company for 50 cents
a battel, and ils officers are still
so surprised that I hey are just
barely able to gather in the money
And the "suckers" who were lan
ded with the slock at a few cents
a share are actually threatened
with dividends.-Wall Street Jour
nal.
