Since the Panama was opened up there have been many improvements in mining machinery and in methods for working the ground more economi- cally. In this same direction there are many signs that show that practical men are still giving their attention to greater improvements, J. s. Rosburg, a we'll known operator of the Tender foot, has devised scheme for hand ling scrapers underground something in the same manner as is now employed for open, cut work.

After performing a marriage service a Valdez divine delivered lecture on the duties of married women. He ex- pressed the belief that married women, es especially those whose fortunes find them in Alaska, should do more than they do to assist hard working hus- bands. Building fires, getting break fast and numerous other duties of sim liar character were enumerated as a part of woman's work in behalf of her family and her duty in making home happier.

Our neighbor city, Juneau, has been torn with conflicting emotions that have cuIminated in what was almost tragedy. The people of that city are now asking each other the question, "Who is to blame2" Some are willing, and even anxious, to lay all the blame at the door of the hot-headed Irish ed- itor of one of the newspapers published in the town. However, the people of Juneau are not different from those of any other community, and the blame, if there is blame, may just as we'll be apportioned little to each one as any other way, for that is probably where it belongs. If the good people in the Capital City will try the experiment of saying all the good they can of their neighbors instead of evil, it will bring about an entirely different stste of af- fairs. Really, now, there are lots of good people in Juneau.

Among the citizens who will leave for the outside within the next week are several whose business on the out side will mark the beginning of new epoch in the expansion of the interior of Alaska. These men have been quietly acquiring large tracts of gold. bearing ground and before we are aware of what is happening, they will be bringing in the largest and most modern type of dredgers. The men of whom we speak are among the most ex- perienced and successful in the coun- try and they intend to remain here in- definitely. One of them-a conserVa- tive miner be is considered to be-pre- dicted confidently that within ten years there would be fifty dredgers in the Panama country. Judging from the rapidity with which dredgers have been multiplying in the Dawson camp, every one of them highly profitable enter prises, the prediction as to the future in the Panama is by no means pipe dream. It is true there is much ground in the camp which is too deep for the present dredger to handle, but there is very much more ground which a dredger can handle easily and with profit. The restless citizen who takes a notion to quit the camp at this time will travel far and long before he comes upon valley with so promising flu ture ahead.-Fairbanks Times.

Advertising and Business
An Admirable Article Which
Should be Read by All,
Especially Business Men.

From the Chester Lantern.
Business advertising can hard
ly change greatly the sum total
OF business done in the whole
country, but it does very largely
influence the direction of busi-
ness. 1t determines in a multi
tude of cases the articles for
which money is spent. 1t not
only decides in large measure
whether this individual or that
one shall have the larger share
of the business done in his line,
but it has much to do with at
tracing business to his line or
away from it.
Some time ago the fruit grow
ers of California and the Union
Pacific Railway entered into an
agreement to induce people to
buy more oranges. The fruit
growers wanted wider market
and the railroad wanted the long
haul. They began the expert
ment in Iowa, buying newspa-
per space to whet the peoples
appetites for oranges and to
create the impression that there
were no oranges like the Califor
MIA oranges, carefully handled
and delivered safe and sound by
the Union Pacific. When the
advertising had put all the low
ans mouths to watering, a train
load was shipped and found
ready sale. A second train OF
25 cars brought above the mar
ket price. Everybody had been
reading pleasing things about
oranges, everybody was eating
oranges and everybody was call
ing for oranges at the stores and
and fruit stands. The children,
instead of buying cream, candy
and nuts. were spending their
dimes for oranges. All were
pleased. They enjoyed the
oranges and they were more
wholesome. ~ Q demand in
creased. The orange growers
were also pleased; they had
made money and had secured a
new market besides. The rail-
road was gratified; it had been
paid handsomely and had new
business established.
But the newspapers made mo-
ney too, and somebody had this
to pay. Who was it? The orange

back, with a handsome profit.

The Passing Away of
Capt. Wolfe and Mrs. Pat
terSon.
Fort Mill Times: After an
illness of several mon tbs of par
alysls, Capt. Martin M. Wolfe
died Wednesday evening at s
O'Clock at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. John M. Harris, in the
Pleasant Valley section of Lam
caster county. TIE funeral SER
mon was preached by Rev. Mr..
Bennett, of the Pineville Metho
dist church, who took as his sub
iect "The Resurrection" Many
OF those present stated that the
sermon was the most eloquent
and impressive they had heard.
The burial was made in the
churchyard at Pleasant Hill,
and was attended by large
crowd of relatives and friends.
Mr.. Wolfe is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. j. M. Harris, OF
Pleasant Valley, and Miss Man,
ME Wolfe, and two sons, Messrs.
w. ID. and M. M. Wolfe, Jr. of
Fort Mill.
Capt. Martin M. Wolfe was a
native of Mecklenburg, having
been born in that county in
lS4O. His early life was spent
on the farm and when 19 years
of age he engaged in the mer-
camille business at Greensboro,
N. q. 1t was while thus en-
gagged that the war between the
States came on and Capt. Wolfe
was one of the first to volunteer
his services, joining a company
which was being organized by
q. @. Cole, editor of the Green's
boro Times, of which he was
made orderly sergeant. His
company was honored by being
made the flag company of the
Twelfth N. G. Regiment. His
first service in the war was when
his company was ordered to
Evansport to block the Potomac
river. Later his command was
ordered to fredericksburg and
engaged in the battle of Seven
Pines, the Seven Days fight
around Richmond, the battles of
Mechanicsville, and Gaines
Mill. BY the death of several
of his superiors Wolfe had by
this time risen to the rank OF
first lieutenant. A few days
later he battle of Frazier's Farm
resulted in the death OF the cap
tain, Charles, of Wolfe's com pany
and he assumed the captaincy.
AS captain, Mr.. Wolfe led his
company into many fierce bat
ties, notably those of Malvern
Hill, Cedar Run, Second Manas-
sas and Thoroughfare Gap. Capt
Wolfe was painfully wounded
while his brigade was taking the
Manassas railroad, and was un-
able TO perform further duties in
the army
1t has been said by those who
knew his war record, that no
truer or more fearless soldier
ever fought for the "Lost Cause"
than Martin NJ. Wolfe.
Mrs. Jane Patterson, beloved
wife OF Mr.. 5. Lee Patterson,
