Tell Me Pretty Maiden
Is There Anything You Want Like This?
Beauty pins for the lovely, and
vanity boxes for the fair. Pretty
feathers make pretty birds, and
I've got the feathers and they'll
tickle you greatly when you know
the price.
This is leap year and it is up
to you to catch a man. It's no
use to try the old method of
"salt."
Set your cap with one of my
hat pins for from $1 down to a
gift and keep your eyes on the
stars.
And speaking of stars, I have
discovered in the strong box some
pretty diamonds that range from
$18 to $125, and you would will
ingly pay that if you could afford
the luxury. Now take note, and
you too, boys, diamonds ^re ad
vancing in price and are an in
vestment at any time, but these
stones are to go at cost, and that
means one-half the above price.
If interested make appointment
with me, as I wont show them
when the store, or any one else, is
full. All that are not taken with
in the next few days will be re
turned to tho wholesaler. This Is
simply a chance to buy at whole
sale. All I wish to do is to save
cost of express and insurance.
They are in studs, pins, ear rings
and finger rings, for both the fair
and the strong.
I've got a line of solid silver
bracelets and spoons; you know
the kind that are hammered from
a coin. These go with the rest—
away down below oost.
Somebody wanted postals. Well,
I have found a million (more or
less). You pay either 3 or 6 for
25c. I'll give you a year's supply
at three dozen for 25o.
\
I've dug up some more soap
and a big batch of tooth brushes.
Regular 25o a cake soap will go
at 20c a box of 3 cakes, and tooth
brushes that the Alaska drug
stores sell you for 25c and 35c
and don't cost a cent over 13c,
go at 2 for 25c.
Johnny Bigggs and Jim Kohlerare
going hunting while my sale is
on and Al. Grigsby has already
taken to the woods. See tonight's
}«aper.
. . Mosry, Mossy—Will you ever
come tHYouQh with your ill gotten
spoils?
A person who gets a chance to
lay in a stock of card party prizes
or next year's Xmas gifts at my
price are in luck.
That reminds me, I have found
the lucky rabbit's foot that Mrs.
L. wanted, and I'm still looking
for the big Bunny Bow that Mr.
Qi 11 is wants.
Mr. Wikadel—I have the but
tons you want and they will pro
duce a real smile when you see
them.
I camped on the trail of that
Rebecca pin, Mrs. W., and we sur
rounded it before morning. I
have a small boy to do my sleep
ing for me; but I captured the pin.
Charlie Jones—We (are still
probing for that Masonic slipper.
And the other solid gold Masonic
pins and buttons will cost from
75c to $1.75, formerly $2 to $5.
Oh, girls, I've switched from
beauty pins to Masonic buttons,
but you know yourself how it is
to bo "switched"--forgive me.

ASSOCIATE WORK FOR ATTORNEY
URGES LIGHTHOUSES
FOR ALASKA COAST
I
Leslie's Magazine 8ays Alaska
Coast is Lighted by Lanterns
8itting on Stumps
Under I he caption, "Alaska's
Awful Shipwreck Curse," and end
ing with the question: "Is I his
giving Alaska a square deal?"
Leslie's Weekly has started a
campaign for better and more
lights along tho Alaskan coast.
The matter has been agitated for
some time by Pacific coast ship,
ping men and it is now believed
the question has advanced far
enough that good results will be
obtained. The wreck of the
steamer Portland, of the Alaska
Coast company, of Tacoma, which
went ashore near Katalla in 1910,
is shown, as is also that of the
steamers Farallon, the Spokane,
the Olympia, the Saratoga and the
Princess May.
1 Leslie's says in pari: "The
( number <>f lights provided by the
|United States government for the
vast wreckage-strewn roast of
Alaska is a disgrace to a civiliz
ed nation. In the world there is
not a rougher or harder to navi
gate fog or snow-driven coast
line. Nor has any a more fatal
or ghastly history. There is no
record of Ihe »lives lost or Ihe
number of souls which have been
in peril, but in 2ft years 60 ves
sels have gone l<> Ihe bottom. The
properly loss has reached the
stupendous figure of' $f>,ftftft,ftftft.
And what, in thai lime, has Ihis
government done to relieve the
appalling situation?
i "Aiming its ai<lm In navigation, I
.congress has authorized and there
have been established sonic 70
lights and a lone life-saving sla
lion. So enormous is the terri
tory of Alaska that if its coast
line could become a thread its
length would more than girdle the
earth. The reader may imagine
for himself what the result might
I ho. Seventy-odd candles would
i|como ahout as near to lighting the
dangerous points of the Mediter
ranean sea. Half of the lights
are so-called post-lanterns^ sev
eral times more powerful than
the ordinary stable lantern. In
some places these lights, instead
of being suspended from posts,
are hung (in the limbs of trees,
as at Channel island, in Tongnss
Narrows. Midway islands light
in Stephens Passage, is a lens
lantern hanging from the (op of
a small house. The illuftiination
jilt Orca bay and inlet--the en
trance to Cordova, the terminal of
the principal railway in Alaska —
is marked by a single, fixed, ordi
nary harbor light, four lanterns
on posts and one on the slump of
a tree.
"H. P. Alexander, president of
the Alaska Pacific Steamship
company, tells us that the lack
: of aids to navigation in Alaskan
water* is largely responsible for
the fact fhat insurance on ves
sels operating to Alaska runs all
thr way from 15 In 20 per cent,
and even al I hese figures it is
impossible lo }re| complete insur
ance. As a contrast In I his
charge, Mi". Alexander advises us
thai tin- usual insurance rati- on
the Pacific coast is 0 nr 7 per
con I. lie adds that the Alaskan
insurance rale is almost prohib
itory and results frequently in
owners having to carry their own
insurance.
"Kenneth Kerr, of the Alaska
Steamship company, was equally
vehement in discussing the situ
ation. CSov. Clark declared that
the installation of proper aids to
navigation, such as are found on
the Atlantic, and Pacific seaboards,
and even in Canadian waters im
mediately adjacent to our own,
would be followed inevitably by
a reduction of insurance and also
freight rates. Such a reduction,
Gov. Clark points out, would be
of inestimable value to the ter
ritory, reducing the cost of liv
ing and making it possible to en
gage in such mining and other
industries as are feasible only
when cheap supplies are obtain
able and generally lower expen
ses of operation are to be en
countered.
"Secretary Nagel, of the de
partment of commerce and labor,
Reserves great commendation for
what he has accomplished with
the limited appropriation at his
disposal. Congress last year
granted the bureau of lighthouses,
which is under the direction of
Mr. Nagel, a niggardly $60,000
for aids to navigation in Alaska.
The amount should he live times
that."
