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.

IS VERY ACTIVE BODY
MANY MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED AT MEETING LAST
NIGHT—COMMITTEES APPOCNTED TO LOOK AFTER IN
TERESTS OF TOWN IN LEGISLATIVE MATERS
Tin* chamber or commerce
nieelinfr last evening was well at
tended ami several matters of im
portance !•> this district were dis
cussed. President Frame was in
lhi» chair ami Attorney Foster was
appointed secretary owinjr to the
absence of Mr. Slainiu.
The report of Paul d'lleiry,
chairman of llm Iransporlalion
committee. was read ami approv
ed.
A comimllce of Hirer members
was appointed lo continue I he
work of securing I lie appropria
tion for the dyke through cor
respondence and in every way
possible to present our claims in
the most, favorable litflil. Mr.
Jas. Fish, Mr. Flvnn, Mr. Ilemple,
Mayor Hoyle and others spoke fa
vorably on I he subject and many
valuable surest ions were offered.
Messrs. Paul d'lleiry, F. II. Fos
ter and James Fish were appoint
ed by the chair.
The slalemcnl of Dr. Fouler as
received over the cable in press
dispatches to the elTect that one
half of the population of Alaska
were sulTerinK from tuberculosis
was discussed. Tin- opinions ex
pressed at the meeting showed
that the statement was considered
a libel which should be refuted.
It was decided to await fuller par
ticulars before taking further ac
I ion.
Messrs. Flynn. Wikidel and
Fish were 211>|><>i111••• I a special
committee In look after tin* situ
ation in regard In I lw proposed

zens of Yaldez believe I lie ronle
lothe inlerior from Yaldez pre
senls many advantages over all
olIters and Itelieve the government
should llrsl cause a survey of I he
different routes to he made. The
railroad to the interior is for the
purpose of developing I he country
hy affording the cheapest trans
portation possible. The route via
Valdez is the shortest and pre
sents no dilllcullies to construc
tion. The comimltee will work
for the routes being surveyed
and the adoption of the most
practical route hy the govern
ment.
Mayor Boyle brought up . the
matter of excess wharfage
charges at Seattle on shipments
to Alaska. He said the rale on
goods coming north was douhle
that leaving for any other part
of lite world, lie said the extra
charges amounted to $50,000 each
year and lie believed this amount
should he saved to the people of
Alaska. Dr. Uoylo was authoriz
ed to lake the mailer up with the
Seattle chamber of commerce and
other businessmen's organiza
tions.
