~ another year we wish
w to thank our friends
and patrons for the
most prosperous year of our
history. The growth of this
business and it's success in the
three towns in which it has
located stores has only been
made possible by the liberal
patronage bestowed upon it by
the people of this vicinity. We
have tried to serve the people
well, probably at times we have
to some extent failed. but when
our attention was called to the
fault we used our efforts to
correct it.
We have tried to make our
store the peoples store, where
people from all stations in life
could shop with equal comfort
and be treated with equal
courtesy. Whether you are
rich or poor, or whether you
come in an automobile or walk,
we want you to feel that you
are welcome and that we are
endeavoring to supply your
wants in the most satisfactory
way.
Immediately after Christ
mas we will begin a clearance
sale of all odds and ends and
winter. goods. During the holi-
day rush hundreds of remnants
are made, and odd lots accum-
ulate in every department,
which will be offereds at re-
duced prices to close out before
stock-taking Feb. 1st. Watch
the newspapers and our special
bulletins for aAdetailed an
nouncement of this great clear
ance sale.
Again thanking the public
for their liberal patronage, and
wishing you all a merry Christ

CLARK IS GOVERNOR.
OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.

Walter E. Clark is now governor of Alaska. Although appointed upon the recommendation of wilfOrd B. HOgga and against the protests of our dele, gate and many Alaskans. Clark has been treated with the utmost fairness by the Alaskan press and the press and people alike are now in a "show me" attitude, awaiting to see what the future win bring forth.
 In interviews and in his inaugural address Gov. Clark has repeatedly promised not to play politics, not to favor any particular faction, but to get acquainted with the country and its people, to study conditions, and to work for the industrial upSuilding of the north. These be fair words and if Clark lives up to his promises and keeps from under the domination of any clique or corporation he will read fly overcome the prejudice now ex- istlng against him to some extent and become the most popular executive We have ever had.

THE REPUTATION OF HAYNES IS
 STILL LIKE CAESARS WIFE.

There has been some anxiety ex- pressed in certain quarters lest Haines obtain bad reputation for lawlessness in Southeastern Alaska through the fact of SO many cases from here coming before the court of the First division in a short time.
 An examination of the cases from Haines before the Juneau court will show that there was hardly bona tIde citizen of the town in the lot. Most of the men indicted and all of those convicted were wanderers who could hardly claim Haines as their home. They were mostly 'ho- bOes," to use the generic phrase, who had come here for the express pur- pose of peddHng liquor to the na- tiyes.
 Haines is better off without these gentry nor will our reputation suffer by the moral houscleaning,-Haines Pioneer Press.

WERE he IS! The FIRST JAP
MARATHON RUNNER

LOS ANGELES. Cal, March 80.
A little 110-pound Japanese,
Frank A. Nishijima, surprised ev-
cry spectator by his showing in a
recent Marathon race in this city,
held under auspices of the Los
Angeles Athletic club. After run
ming the full course, 26 miles, 3S5
yards, the Japanese was not even
winded, could talk without the
slightest effort and seemed capa-
BILE of continuing all night if oc-
casion demanded.
What makes his performance all
the more remarkable is the fact
that his white opponents were be-
ing helped from the course in a
state of collapse.
Somebody asked the Jap how he
trained, but the little Nipponese
did not seem at all willing to give
an answer. He smiled and walked
away, but after being pressed told
a story of how they do things over
in Japan.
When the cherry blossom season
arrives, the most beautiful time
of all the year, the athletes of the
various colleges start to prepare
for the boat races, this being the
principal sport in the islands. For
so days previous to a race, two
men are placed with each athlete
who is to take part, and they keep
him under surveillance for just
two months. They sleep with him,
eat with him, direct his every
move and as a result when time
for the big event arrives every
man in it fit condition for the
gruelling contest.
During tire time he is in train
ing the athlete Is not allowed to
touch meat of any kind, living
upon fish, rice, toast and choco-
late. In the morning, just as the
sun is rising, the men are routed
from their slumbers and sent on
the road. Returning an hour be-
fore time for breakfast, they are
given a bath, rundown and mas
sage, and are then ready for the
days work. 1t is gruelling
course of training, but the result
more than justifiss the means
used.
While Nishijima did not win
the race, due partly to his short
stature. officials runners and
spectators agreed that he could
have run every other contestant
off his feet in a longer distanced
affair. The Jap used a mincing

CHICAGO VAuLTER IS EXPECTED
TO FRACTURE WORLDS RECORD

CHICAGO, March 29.-Not
many who follows athletics, even
intimately, know anything about
Claire s. Jacobs, yet he has added
a new pole vault mark of IL feet
Z 3-8 inches to the A. A. U. in
door list.
DIR. A. A. Stage, Chicago uni
versity, predicts that Jacobs will
dispose of the IL feet 9 ga inches
held by Walter Dray of Yale.
Jacobs is Chicagoan and since
boyhood has aimed at becoming a
great athlete. He did not show
promise until he entered high
school where a coach took hold of
him. He failed as runner, des-
pite logged persistence. I'm
daunted, he took to high jumping
and vaulting, and when he ma

Under Stages coaching, Jacobs
improved steadily. At the western
championships he
cleared IL fit 4 IL inches and
won a place ON the American
Olympic team, but was knocked
out by the climate and tied for
third place.
Since hisFreturn, Jacobs has, in
practice, equaled Dray's record
several times. His indoor record
is the finest bit of work he has
shown. Jacobs win represent the
