Now is
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.

Valdcy. chamber and asking clos

Flynn thought it was the duty of
a commit tec and Mr. d'lliery so
amended his motion. The mo
tion prevailed ami Hie chair ap
pointed Messrs. d'lliery. Ilemple
and Ililchic.
Mr. Fred Cameron was present
and was asked if there were any
developments in conned inn with
the proposed steamship line from
Portland, lie said there were not
hut he believed the Portland line
was assured.
Mr. Fish moved that flic rail
'way committee be instructed to
draft a set of resolutions urging
the appointment of a board to
determine the most practical
route for the government railroad
to interior Alaska. He also be
lieved if. would be wise to bold a
mass meeting to gain an expres
sion of the entire community.
Mr. Frame said Valdcy. was the
shortest and most practical route
ami should be chosen. He be
lieved it would be if the route
was determined by such a hoard.
Mr. Ilemple approved the idea
of a mass meeting and I bought
the meeting could be held in (lie
court house. Mr. (ieorge Nelson
ottered Moose hall for the meet
ing on behalf of the Moose. He
thought the resolutions should be
changed to read board of engi
neers. He did not believe men
unacquainted with railroading
were competent to judge of the
superiority of any particular
route.

The Idler which was sent I<•
Delegate Wickersham is exhaus

the proposed trunk line. Follow
ing are extracts' from the letter:
Your coinmillee, appointed by
the Chamher of (Commerce of this
city, insists thai I he government
is not giving full justice to the
wan Is and needs of Alaska, when
il arbitrarily selects a route,
without further knowledKc of its
practicability or its ultimate cost
of const rucl ion and maintenance,
save thai vouched Ihein hy I hose

road. ,The Vahle/ Cdiainher oT
(Commerce assumes I he. position
thai congress in ils present at
tempt In relieve the present stag
nalion in developmenl hy build
ing a trunk line into the heart of
Alaska, should, before commit
ting itself lo any parlicnlar route,
provide for Ihe appoinlmcnl of a
competent hoard of engineers to
study all the routes to the ob
jective points, with Ihe view of
selecting the one offering the
least cost of operation and main
tenance, and certainly' Ihe one
costing Ihe less for construction.
Harbor facilitics--hoth as to road
stead, wharf and bunker facili
ties, wilh the probable cost of de
fense should all be taken into
consideration when determining
definitely the most available route
to be chosen, for as wo understand
Ihe intent of the government, Ihe
future road, will have a military
and naval signillcance, not sec
ond to its commercial needs and
benefits.
In conclusion we would say that
we are of tho belief that in urg

of engineers to select the most
favorable route, no Just imputa
