LET IS REHABILITATE ALASKA
Governor Riggs, having shown
It is confidence in. the ability of the
editor of this paper by namn? him
to fill the responsible position of
chief of the Territorial Buerau of
Publicity, the latter will endeavor
to merit the confidence reposed- in
him by the chief executive of the
Territory by making good in the
position for which he has been
selected and to do this he asks the
support and co-operation of all Al
askans who are here to make their
homes and who are consequently in
terested' in the welfare, growth and
develpoment of the Territory.
The object of the Territorial Bu
reau of Publicity is to advertise in
a legitimate manner the resources
»»f Alaska at home as well as
abroad-: to centralize as much as
jiiSsible the trade and commerce
of the Territory: to demonstrate tc
one district the advanages of closer
trad* relations with another district;
to encourage the prospector an4
.iner by aiding them In advertising
their discoveries and bringing1 the
latter to the attention of those in
position o demonstratte their values
>md' to otherwise put forth every
■ est effort to rehabilitate Alaska.
Especially does the newly ap
pointed publicity manager appeal to
those of his own profession, the
newspaper men of the Territory, to
co-operate with him in his work of
advertising1 everything that is ol
interest in their respective locali
ties as well ;ls of Territorial-wide
moment.
There is no doubt but that, with
the conclusion of the war, Alaska
will conio back and' come back
strong. At present conditions are
seething on the outside where govj
•T'iment operations have thorough
ly disorganized pri^te industries
Dy paying larger wages than the
latter can possibly do. With the
end of the war will come recon
struction of conditions that will
jar the entire continent. Many who
are now earning fabulous wages and
spending them with reckless aban
don will be casting about for new
fields and Alaska, the last frontier,
should bo in position to offer them
something. This is what tie Buree
of Publicity aims to be able, thru
the aid and' assistance of the vari
ous commercial institutions and
newspapers of the Territoij, to do,
aud it can be done effectively only
by proper and legitimate advertis
ing. The Associated Press. the
most powerful news syndicate on
earth, is interested Vitally Jn the
work of developing this great nor
thern empire and has promised sub
stantial assistance in heralding to
Ulo world any and all readable mat
ter that may be supplied it by the
Territorial Burau of Publicity.
The publicity agent expects to
visit much of the Territory during
the next few months, but urges that
there he no delay in the meantime
in communicating with his office at
Juneau, the Territorial capital, re
garding all matters of either local
or general importance. It is to
those who are here to stay, here to
CHEER UP, JUNEAtJi
If Juneau citizens wuld< discour
age calamity howling, it might tend
to help their own town and inci
dentally not d*» harm to the rest of
the territory.
Such talk as that peddler recent
ly in Seattle by Bart L>. Thane
about Juneau dying for lack of men
won't help any.
Many people in tfce States might
very logically deduce from It that
it the capital city and heretofore
largest iniVustial cernter of the ter
ritory is in suoh straits, the whple
of Alaska must indeed be in a very
bad way.
Such is not the case.
With the exception of low grade
sold mining, aU industries of Alas
ka are more pix>sperous than ever
before.
Especially is this truo of South
eastern Alaska, where fish and tim
ber are and- probably for many year
will be the greatest resources.
If Juneau has employment for a
thousand men at the high wage
made necessary by the high cost of
living, she can get them; but it is
unlikely that she can find a thous
and men to mine low-grade ore at
low-Rrad© wages—not now.
With the return of normal condi
tions, Juneau may regain her big
mining payrolls. When a new crop
of suckers matures a couple of dce
ades later on she may again also
enjoy a boom through some big low
grade mining promotion.
In the meantime Juneau can by
! making the best of conditions de
rive sufficient benefit from other
resources to keep uj» a subtsantlal
town.
At any nue, mere *s rcwiwu
apparent why Juneau ' should die. |
But if she really makes up her mini!
to shuffle off. she should try to do
it in a nulet, decorotks manner, that
she may not be held tin unpleasant
memory by surviving communities.

SI00,000 FIRE DESTROYS
STORE OX COOK IXLET
One hundred thousand1 dollars'
worth of property was destroyed at
Knik when eleven buildings and'
their contents, owned by George
Palmer, were destroyed by fi.-e.
The flames were first noticed by
him at 3 o'clock in the morning,
Friday, May 24, So rapidly did the
flames spread that there was no op
portunity of saving the contents of
the buildings. The property de
stroyed consisted*' of one big store
room, which was «sed as a sales
room, and a number of small con
necting store houses. All of the
buildings consumed by fire either
adjoined or were connected by
passageways with the main store
room. The flames originated' ln
one of the 6tore irooms and spread
quickly to the other warehouses and
the mala store.
I The cause of the lire is a mys
tery to Mr. Palmer. He was awak
ened about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing by the flames, which were then
flaring: from the roof of one of
the warehouses. ■ The stock of mer
chandise destroyed' consisted of
groceries, hardware and dry goods.
Two other big warehouses near
those destroyed, but not con
nected', were saved, as well as
the home of Mr. Palmer.
The loss, which is approximate
ly one hundred thousand dollars,
is partially covered1 by insurance
Immediate steps will be taken by
Mr Palmer to replace the destov
ed buildings, and the work of re
construction will begin as scon as
material can bo secured and placed1
on the ground. The stock will be
replenished, and Mr. Palmer will
leave in the near future for the
Outside, where he will purchase the
stock direct from the wholesalers.
There was a dead' calm prevail
ing in Knik at the time of the
Tire, or the damage would have
beeu considerably greater, and per
haps the whole town might have
been wiped out. ^

GRIZZLY 3F.00XS NO RIVAL
Testimony of Hunters Proves That He
Is Beyond Question Supremo in
# His Own World.,
The grizzly was once the monarch
lit the Western ratiges. says Walter
Pricbard Eaton. In Harper's Magazine,
Nothing disputed his title rill man
came with the ritlo. Of man the grizv
ily now has a most Intelligent fear, ex
cept In places where he Is protected
and fed. Fierce nn<l formidable fighter
that he is. he doesn't tight man unless
he Is driven to It. hut with the keen*
ness of his tribe (the bear Is one of tha ,
most Intelligent of beasts) he tvoldi i
danger so far as possible, and has de
veloped much cleverness at It.
The testimony of nil Western hunt
ers agrees on the great caution a griz
zly uses before'crdssing an open 8r ap
proaching a dead horse or cow put oat
for bait, frequently charging1-nil the
bushes aroum} to drive ont iposalbls
foes In ambush as a preliminary to
feeding. That the mountain Hon, is a
real foe of the bears our hutite^ de>
nled. The mountain cat Is a coward.
Once, he said, he had put out a dead |
horse for their bait, and watched from j
a tree two Hons feeding on the carcass, i
A grizzly (called a sllvertlp by the |
hunters) approached, shouldered In bfr
tween the lions nnd begarl to feed also.
As one fat grizzly can take up consid
erable room the lions resented this
third party at the feast and drew oft
snarling. Then one of them came back
and evidently clawed the Intruder or
hit It. The bear, which had one fore
paw employed, swung with the other,
canght the lion a tremendous blow and
knocked him 00 feet down the slope.
Then Mr. Siivertlp resumed his repast
as If nothing had happened. He did
not even look around to see bow far
the lion fell or what he was going to
do when he got up. Evidently the bear
felt quite sure of his position. He was
Justifies In this conildence, for the lion
rose and with his mate sulked, snarl
ing, off into the timber.
The man who told this story had
been a mountain hunter from boyhood,
and he Is, furthermore, an uncommon
ly sharp observer whose knowledge has
been more than once employed by the
federal government. There Is no rea
son to doubt the sircnracy of his tale,
which seems to bear out the statements
of other hunters that the grizzly Is su
preme iu his own world, even con
til-lllslv so.

Trouble.
A man usually buys a bat that's "In

lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing- more numer
ous every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandruff it Is a
sure sign that these countless germs arj
busily at work.
There is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs—that way Is
to apply Xewbro's Herplcide to the
scalp—:t will kill the germs and healthy
hair is sure to result.
