 The Post-Intelligencer says there are at least two cities in Alaska with a population larger than that possessed by any city in Washington when it was organized as 6 territory. Worse than that. There are at least five incorpor- ated cities in Alaska all larger than the largest town in what is now the "Evergreen State" in 1853, the year in which Washington territory was organ ized. Skagway, Juneau, Douglas, Treadwell and Nome, and probably Ketchikan, all have more people with in their limits than there were in Olympia, 15 years after the organization of Washington territory, and Olympia was still the chief city of that territory in 1s7o.-Skagway Alaskan. !

When the Birds Come
 North Again.

Every year hath its winter
 And every year hath its rain But . day is always coming When the birds come North again. When new leaves swell in the forest, And grass springs green on the plain, And the alder's vein turns crimson And the birds come North again. Every heart hath its sorrow, And every heart hath its pain But a day Is always coming When the birds come North again. -Tis the sweetest thing to remember. If courage be on the wane, When the cold, dark days are over Why, the birds come North again.

THE MOST RELIABLE.

We make this claim because we have
clear knowledge of the condition of ali

inv abiding, because on the second day

the license for doing business this wear,
AS to the money being paid monthly
to our beneficiaries, we lead all others
in that. They say figures don t lie. we
ask the public to look at these figures.
for the month of November and Decem.
Der we paid for sickness and deaths
$3O3O2S, and S386S. 80 respectively or for
the two months $6S9917. Who can
beat 1t? We are the ONLY RELIABLE
Then again we have the largest men,
bership by thousands of any company
doing our class Of work, there is not
another that has 10000 enefited men,
hars we have 1000 navinD rnannhars
We employ 45 persons to do our work
right here in Richmond.
What other company does that? We
are the strongest because we have a
much larger company of bonifide stock
holders The NEST of the others COM
panies have only from 1 TO Is persons
who own them, our company is backed
by over 300 stock holders who have al
ready put $6700 in hard cash in the
concern.
We propose to increase that until the
entire $4,000 capital stock is paid in.
This is the only way TO make a great,
Substantial company. We do business
IN legitimate way. We do not divide
the company that's cleared each month
among the stock holders.
We are using both sick benefit and
straight life policies. We insure per-
sons for as high as $500. 100. Persons
who desire to take out policies with us
may call at the Office or have our polite
agents to call upon you
Why not come Into this company and
let us build it up until it becomesa great
wealthy concern that shall be n blessing
20 the entire race? Our capital stock is
now $4,000, but it is our purpose TO in
crease it to 100000, ,One Hundred
Thousand Dollars And why? Simply
because that is the only way TO compete
with the great white companies, put
money behind business. We do not
sell stock to every body. We are care
ful to sell TO those who are good citizens
and who means business in life,
The colored people should unite and
help us to have Que strong insurance
company in the land. The American is
now leading the way and simply asks
the continued support of the public.
