On Tuesday, March 20, the Bank
I of Alaska celebrated its first hirth
jiday by giving a reception and
I house warming in the beautiful new
' building just finished and into
l which the hank had been moved
j from the old quarters on Fifth Av
jenue. Th© completed rooms1 were
thrown op©n, for public inspectiop.
Dr. \V. G. Gable's offices, the
U. S. post office and the hank
.were visited by those who called
and all agreed that thg new. build
ing is a great credit to the town
and aa iin«, and up-to-date as any
building in the country.

lu all Alaska there is perhaps nq
spot of greater historic interest
than the Sitka parade grounds and
adjacent buildings. Mere the Rus"
sian Government centered its forc
es and operations during the period
of its control, over the "Wonder
land of America." On this plot of
ground the ceremonies took place in
1867 which transferred the territory
to the United States. Men still
make Sitka their h°me who witness
ed and took part in the flag-rais
ing which consisted In lowering the
.Russian emblem, and replacing it
Rt the proper sginal by the Stars
and Stripes. Graphic are the ac
counts they; give of the formal tak
ing ever of Alaska by. this purchase
which was authorized by our gov
ernment. The action so fiercely
criticised, hag since been deemed
wise and timely by all. Has any
investment of public funds ever
brought, greater reward than the
spending of that paltry seven mil
lion dollars? Not only was the tract
secured for this gum, one-fifth as
great in extent ag all the rest of
the United States, but it possessed
more diversified and abundant na
tural resources than perhaps any
other section oflike area. It is not
amiss here to print the song which
is coming more and more into prom
inence, written by Mr. M- A. Snow.
This is to tho tune of "Maryland,
My Maryland."
ALASKA, MX ALASKA
0 land of gold, I sing of thee,

In 'tii, by Seward's might,

Thy utmost wealth was fright to

Though slow thy growth, through

Thy motto has heen persevere,
Thy fame is sung both far and

Oh, may thy future shine most clear

And in tho hearts of men grow

And cast o'er all a radiant glow,

Publicity
T HAS BEEN Demonstrated
that when a man has some
thing to sell worth selling his
success is assured by letting
the people know about it.
Many business enterprises that should be
prosperous die of neglect because the
public attention and interest have not
been stimulated and attracted to the wares
No matter what it may be if it is reason
ably priced and good in quality your
success is assured by intelligent adver
tising and plenty of it.

The Best Footwear Ever Blade
For You. Mr. Miner! * j
"Hipress"—the original White Rubber Boots and Shoes—repre
sents TFTe biggest advance the world has ever seen in the method of
making rubber footwear. By a wonderful new process Goodrich auto
tire rubber—the toughest, longest wearing rubber ever known—is
molded into One Solid Piece boots and shoes. Of course, Goodrich
—the Company that has supplied you with Everything that* s Best
in Rubber for nearly half a century—invented this great improve
ment. Goodr ich alone makes boots this way.
The soles will far outwear hob-nailed'leather soles—they actually wear
longer than steel. And every "Hipress" boot or shoe is just One Solid Piece
of rubber—mol ded to fit your foot. Just think what that means, Mr. Miner!
No peeling—no cracks—no leaks.
"Hipress" is the only footwear that will stand your
working cc nditions. Ask your dealer for the boots
J or shoes with the "Red Line 'Round the Top."
