the home merohwt
t» The home merchant. Who is he?
* Ho is the caap who gives you credit when you are financially broke
nnd carries your account until you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes exchanges
when you are not satisfied with what you have bought
He is the chap who stands behind his guarantee, and makes restor
ation ot all losses that you may sustain on the goods you buy.
He Is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake and lets
you out with a message to the "kids" and a real come-again goodby.
He is the chap who meets and greets you on tiie street every day in
the year, ar.d takes a neighborly interost in yonr family and your affairs
He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers and other employes live
in Ketchikan and spend their moil- > with you and with other Ketchikan
people.
He is the chap who pa>^ heavy taxes to help support Ketchikan's
schools and build Ketchikan's streets, and maintain Ketchikan's fire and
police departments and lighting ar.d water service.
He is the chap who helps support Ketchikan's churches and hospitals
and charity movements, and Ketchikan's lodges and commercial club. talk>
Ketchikan and boosts for Ketchikan every day in the year.
He is the ehap who visits you when >ou are sick, sends flowers to your
family when you die. and follows your body out to the cemetery, us far
aa human feet can travel with the dea<!
He is the home merchant—your neighbor—your friend—your help
er In the time of need.
Don't you think that you ought to trade with him. and be his friend
and his helper in the time of his need?
Don't you think that every dollar that you si r.d out of Ketchikan for
merchandise is sent to strangers—to men who never spend a dollar in the
town, to meti w^° woa'd not trust you for a bo< of matches, to m-n who
would turn you over to the police if you should enter their offices*
Yon don't save much, frequently nothing. ■» hen you send your money
out of Ketchikan and you take all the risk yourself of short weight or
measure and of getting damaged or infer r goods. Possibly if you and
everybody else in Ketchikan should trade at home, the merchant miclit af
ford to sell as cheaply as do the big stor< ■> in the cities. And don't you
know that the growth and prosperity of Ketchikan depends very largely
upon the success and prosperity of the home merchants? Out-of-town
people judge our city by the appearance of our stores and the degree of
enterprise shown by our merchants \nd our home merchants can not
succeed unless home folks give them loyal support.—Ketchikan Chronical

Statistics from reliable sources show that Klondike continues the han
'
rred m Yukon or Alaska has approai hed the Klondike in aggregate yield
of approximately $1,500,000 for the year Thi- next best camp of the Yu
kon valley Is Fairbanks, with fSOO.OoO, or only a little more than half
the Klondike yield Nome, which is on the Bering sea coast and outside
the Yukon watershed, has the same yield for the year as Fairbanks. The
life of the placers in those camps is unknown, but within fifty miles of
Dawson the dredging areas just now !>eing opened will keep a fleet of gold
boats busy another quarter centur*. The new era of cold water thawing
reduces costs so that placers of this area once thought too low grade for
profitable operation already are yielding a satisfactory return in conjunc
tion with the introduction of large modern equipment.
Pawson Is the shipping point of the Klondike gold fields, and the
dredga operations in sight here alone are sufficient to keep Pawson on the
map until the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery is celebrated, or until
1946. Other mining resources in all likelihood will be opened by that
time.
Old Dawson has lost its first picturesque conditions, but the place is
now stable and substantial, and the population now here will shrink but
little, if any, until the end of the next quarter century The camp has
had no idle men this year and will continue to demand the services of a
large number throughout the years of its placer life.
It is a satisfaction to the people who have cast their lot in KJondike to
know the old camp remains the daddy of the Northland gold industry, that
Pawson will continue to enrich the world w.th its gold, to be a place of
homes and happy and contented people and a place of thrift and industry.
Compare the conditions here with those in the outer world, where want
a»d unemployment obtain, and Klondikers have every reason to congrat
ulate themselves in being in a land which produces the token treasure for
which there is always a Market and which assures prosperity to ihose who
contribute to its production.—Pawson Newt

The injunction laid upon the United States by our first President is be
ing often quoted these days, and was used much by those who opposed our
entering the World War. Conditions are gradually changing so that with
in the next decade it is not unlikely that we will be actively interested in
everything that takes place in Europe, and . Balkan war cloud or a Toland
Insurrection or a Grecian threat against Turkey will mean feverish nights
and busy day* for our ambassadors Why tv.is c'.nncr" The explanation
Is financial Interests to 1h> protected and conserved. N. w York has taken
the place Ot l.ondon as the financial center of the world Washington is
certain to hold an ever-increasing place ol prominence in political affair*
the world over. We have been since the Civil War a debtor nation, most
of the money loaned this nation for th<> extension of he; railroads and In
dustrial advances has been raid, the stock- ;ind bonds have been return
ed to this country, c.ur own people have purchased them md now that they
have money are buying foreign bonds, and stocks will rapidly follow be
cause of the higher rate of interest obtainable .md favorable rates of ex
change One American company has taken over a groat estate with Indus
trial organizations and mines in Hungary and neighboring countries This
is the beginning, others will follow With millions of American money
invested in Slovakia. Greece, Serbia and other nations, tit" will hare Am
ericans *8 manage™, etc,, etc. With American residents will come the
entangling alliances, and no aoonei will disturbances arise than Congress
men and Senators will be appealed to by constituents to send troops to
the disturbed areas for the protection of American cit liens. We have a
parallel in Mexico, with whom we ha>c been on the verge of war a number
of tlmos within the past ten years.
Onr nation is become a world rower, no longer isloaied on the W.rth
American continent. We may deplore or rejoice in the fact, but we are
certainly doomed to face the fact and the responsibility in one of two way*,
fit ourselves and measure up to il or withdraw to a continental national
existence. We have gone so far in the first that we cannot withdraw The
coming conference in Washington ro.v afford .in opening lhru which we
may lake a long step forward in the w:i\ of lasting peace. Rut our inter
est and concern in what goes on ;n Kit rope will never again take the
"What do we care what they do" iitt.lud> Our isolation has been broken
for once and all. We have launched out upon the ocean of world politics
and there is no retreat.
