ANOTHER EXAMPLE FOR ALASKA

George Welsh knows how people in the eastern states think that Mime, sota is a wilderness of rocks and ice bsrgs. He knows that really it Is fourth in the value of it's agricultural products, produces two.thirds of the iron ore of the country; that it has lO, ,OOO lakes of all sizes, with ideal surroundings for a summer outing, and he is telling the people Of the United States about it. says Printers Ink. It's his business to do this be, cause he is immigration commissioner for Minnesota. an office created by the last legislature, and one which has been in operation only since Au. gust. He has but SI2.5OO a year with which to do his work,
 Last winter the department began using half pages in country weekIies and farm papers. This large space consumed money too fast and the commissioner was forced to cut the space to a twoinch single column ad, which he is now using in list of  25O papers. Copy is changed once in ,wo weeks. The list includes week lies and dairy and farm and trade pa. pers in Wisconsin, Iowa Illinois, Ohio Pennsylvania, Vermont and New Hampshire.
 It is the aim of the Board of mmi, grafton to increase the population of the state by revealing the vast un- touched resources of the state olous all lines of human activity The ad- vertising is placed in papers in the surrounding states and in those states on the same parallel to the east.
 With three months trial it is early to speak of results. but they are showing. A real estate man in a northern country says that he has been helped to sell four farms through literature issued by the state office. The state land agents in the northern part of the state have also seen the results of the advertising.
 We showed in this column two days ago how Hawaii was being beue- fitted by sysJemized advertising through a promotion bureau Aime- sota, though a long and thickly set tied state is using similar methods to increase its prosperity
 Alaska needs judicious advertising more than any other one thing. This advertising can be obtained by com paritiyely slight expenditure of money If Alaska men of affairs cau get to-. gether on this proposition iJ win Ineo much Co the country.

THE CUP THAT CLEARS"

Col. Robert C. Ingersoll was an inc telIcctual giant. He was fearless in all he said and did. His private life was above cayail and when history reaches proper perspective he will stand out as one of America's great, est men. At heart he was poet Pages of his writings are purest poetry. The most commonplace theme were touched to glowing colors by his pen. The above letter written by him has recently been discovered. It's a delicate bit of writing well worth reproduction-though in all candor it must be admitted there is an Obyerse side to the picture he failed to print The letter is as fol lows:
 Dear Jim:-I send you some of the most wonderful whiskey that ever chased a skeleton from a feast or painted landscapes on the brain Of man. It is mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it you will see the sun beams chasing each other over Che biIlowy fields, the dews of night, the wealth of summer and autumn's rich content. all gilded and imprisoned light.
 Drink it and you will hear the songs of men and maidens fair, min, gled with the laughter of children as they sing the Harvest Home. Drink it, and through your veins you will feel the star-lit dawn, the dreamy. tawny dusks of many perfect days.
 For forty years this liquid joy has been imprisoned within its happy slaves of oak, awaiting an opportunity to touch the lips of man.
 Yours truly.
