ROSENE ON
 LONG nUSH

That he may be personally con vinced of the feasibility of the pro posed route of the Alaska Midland Railroad. and that his knowledge of the difficulties may be gained by his own personal observations and deduc- tions, John Rosene, with his party left Haines Sunday morning for the Panama Valley via Rainy Hollow, Dal. ton Post. the head Of Lake Kluane, the reaches of the White River and so on to the ultimate object of the trip, the head Of the Panama thence back and out via Dawson to Skagway
 From the knowledge obtained fror others, this route is all that is claim ed for it, and is the practical and log ical highway to the rich interior of this Northern Empire. and minerals, agricultural land and timber in com merCial quantities abound the entire length Of the proposed route, and though as satisfied of this condition as reports and reconnaissance can make it, stin, that he may say to those interested with him in this un- dertaBiDg: "I know this from my own personal observation. | have trav eIed over the entire length of the land that is to be taken from the wild, and converted into cultivated state" John Rosene will go into an undeveloped country, where many a younger man would hesitate on ac- count of the hardship that will be en- dured, when most men Of his age and circumstances would sit back in an office hiring others to endure the personal discomforts and dangers that will beset every foot of the trail. John Rosene, pathfinder. pio- neer Of this great Northland. will place himself at the head of his party, and will report Go his assocIa- tes the conditions, as they appear from his own observations.
 That from the facts deduced from this trip, the present possibilities Of Haines, in the near future, being the salt water terminal of a great rail- road system, is assured Therefore, this venture will be watched with great interest by the many whose eyes have been turned to the develop meut of this section of Alaska Haiues Pioneer Press.

MIR. GOEBEL
 AT ELK HALL

George GoebeI member of the Na- donal Committee of the Socialist Par ty, who Is touring Alaska giving lee lures on the political conditions Of the world and particularly the state of affairs in the United States. gave a very interesting talk to a large and attentive audience at Elks Hall last night
 Mr. Goebel is a fine speaker; brim- full of enthusiasm on his subject; and is the expOunder of theory that Is for the uplift of mankind. He preach cd a sermon for the building of a better citizenship. He appealed to each one individually to look forward with a strong heart His arguments were put forward in very torceful manner and a kindly way. There is no raucor in his remarks on the class condition which exists; only an earnest appeal for a better and broad or view of life
 One little statement is worthy Of special note. The double standard must be eliminated-people who think it is wrong to steal from each other as individuals must learn that it is equally wrong to steal from the pub Nc.n

\ PROFITABLE

The most appropriate and at the same time the most attractive sou veuIr one may take from Alaska, is that which was instrumental in focus sing the attention Of the entire world on our great country.
 Ever since Che magic year of 1S95 gold has poured from the creeks and beaches of Alaska and been convert ed into money reekoued into millions. Hence the sight Of gold either mint ed or mounted at once directs ones mind to the Iaad of lle midnight sun
 What more appropriate then, than piece Of nugget jewellery, either as a frame for the beautiful mastOdon ivory. stained by the countless years it has endured, or nuggets joined in chain work by skilled artisan. A brooch or solitary nugget of curious natural shape is @ souvenir which tells the story of the mad rush to the kloudike.
 The fact that a purchase Of nugget jewellery is in reality an investment in an article that cannot depreciate seems to be dawuiUg upon the wis itors to the Nortblaud and the sales are rapidly increasing in this line of goods.

an Indian named Juan Diego was on his way
to the church Of Santiago to attend mass,
when the Virgin Mother descended from the
clouds and appeared before the poor peon on
the hill of Tepeyacac. She told Juan that
she intended to become the Patron Saint of
Mexico, and that she wished him to go to the
bishop at the Cathedral Of Mexico and tell
him that she desired to have a church built at
the foot of the hill and dedicated to her.

BUY SHEEP AND

But Don't Be a Sheep.
A COMMON EXPERIENCE.
Don't Follow the Crowd.

In chasing the market for profit, the
fellows who blindly follow the crowd
are generally the ones who get left
The successful man buys when he has
the least competition, at the lowest
prices and with the greatest margin
for profit, which usually brings his
selling time during a period of COM
parative scarcity at market, and he
therefore gets higher prices and most
always makes a good profit in his
dealings.
Here's Chance for Gain.
The present very low market val
ues of feeding sheep and lambs, being
less than the cost of production, Of
fers such an opportunity to those who
are prepared to properly care for
them.
Feeders Are Selling Cheap.
Well-bred, thin but thrifty lambs of
the growing kind can now be bought
on the Chicago market for 1925 to
$3.50 per 100 pounds; wethers of sim
liar description, S3.4O to 1915; year
ling wethers, $4.25 to $3.50; yearling
breeding ewes, $500 to $3.50 and good
feeding ewes at $3.50 to $3.50. These
prices are about $1.75 lower than a
year ago for feeder lambs, and the
lowest since 1904. Feeder sheep
prices also are unusually low.
Now Is the Time to Buy.
In view of the fact that prices OF
feeder sheep and lambs are now be-
low the cost Of production, and that
present prices of lamb and mutton are
out of line with all other meats and
must therefore soon rise because of
the increased consumption invited
thereby, the conclusion is inevitable
that now is the best time to buy feed
er sheep and lambs for all those who
are ready to prepare them for market
during the early part Of next year.

History says that about 1925 a band of Aztecs
was travelling through the Valley Of Mexico.
For nearly six hundred years these people had
been wanderers on the face of the earth and
during all those centuries they had been
-earching for the promised land-a place to
build new home. Their priests had taught
them that when they saw royal eagle with a
snake in its talons alight upon prickly pear
cactus, that would be a sign that there the
place for them to build a city. And as they
were wandering through this valley they be
held royal eagle, perched upon a cactus,
holding serpent. This is the origin of the
Mexican national emblem of today. Accord
ingly they stopped, for they firmly believed
that their long journey was ended. On an
Island in Lake Texcoco they built a city which
they called TenOchtitlan. and this Is where the
City of Mexico stands.
Considering the centuries that they had been

Mexico. Then began one of the most remark
