A New Produce House

LYLE Stebbins has opened a
produce house house on Sixth
St., just south of the Palace
Laundry, where he will pay
cash for eggs, butter, chickens,
hides, furs, etc. This is filling
a long felt want in this city as
the farmer can now sell any
thing he raises here in the city.
The merchants have been very
good about buying these things
but with a regular produce
market, it will draw many
farmers to town who would
otherwise go elsewhere. They
also buy old rubber. brass, iron,
ETC.. so that you can dispose of
-lmost anything to them. The
house will be ready for business
this week.

the needs of every part of Alaska, and they will surely win.
 The next speaker was Mir. ZR.Cheney, also lawyer, of Juneau. He said that he had neither the ability nor the time to tell of all the things that were wrong with Alaska, and which would be remedied when the reins of the gov ernment fell into the hands of the democrats. He devoted his time to the question of bomesteads--said the government had squandered many thousands of dollars in maintaining agricultural experiment. stations, but that with the exception of Tom Knud. son and Louie Lupd, no poor man had ever been able Go acquire title to piece of land in Alaska. The rich com panies purchased the land with soldiers scrip regardless of cost
 After Mr. Cheney concluded his re marks, Mir. Robert w. Jennings was troduced. As MT. Jennings is consid. cred a candidate for delegate, he was looked upon as the principal speaker of the evening, and bis remarks were given careful attention In fact, some of the brethren who made repeated trips to the anteroom while the others were speaking remained in their seats until Mir. Jennings had concluded.
 While the former speakers had con- fined their remarks to matters Alaskan entirely, Mir. Jennings plunged into the question of fundamental doctrines. He said that the attitude of the repub Hcan party toward Alaska was in close harmony with the policy of that party in all things since the days of AleXan- der Hamilton, who wanted the affairs of the government controlled by a chosen few, as distinguished from the ideas of Thomas Jefferson, who advo cated that the people were the sovereign power. He read extracts from party platforms to prove that the democratic party always favored home rule for Alaska, and the republican party all ways opposed it. However, he said that he was not in favor of territorial gov ernmeut that went so far as to include county organizations, but contended that Alaska was in every way entitled to local legislature. He paid his re spects to Theodore Roosevelt, who, he said, had gone out of his way to inter- fere in the trial of Haywood and Mover. He said he had no doubt of the honesty of President Taft, but that he was un doubtedly the most pronounced speci- men of the spineless jelly fish out of the sea. Mir. Jennings concluded his remarks by saying that with the triumph of democracy in the nation and in the North would come an era of hope and progress for Alaska and her people.
 After the speaking, members of the club were asked to remain to assist in perfecting the organization.

Home Made Beauty Helps.


Beauty aids made at home are most
satisfactory in results, besides the saw
ing in cost. You can not buy ready made
a shampoo powder better than you make
by mixing four ounces of orris root with
package of theroX. Sift a little on the
head, brush out-and your scalp is clean
and your hair beautifully lustrous, light
wavy and easy to do up.
A quick and painless way to remove
superfiuous hair from face or forearms is
to apply a paste made by mixing della
tone with little water. Cover the hairs
with paste, leave on a few minutes, then
wipe off, wash the skin and the hairs are
gone
Your husband would rather you would
use, mayatone lotion instead of greasy
face creams or powder that shows. Dis
solve an original package of mayatone in
a half pint of witch hazel and you have
"a three months supply. 1t makes the
complexion soft, smooth and satiny, re-
stores Youthful bloom, and prevents
growth of hair.
Mothers Salve is just fine for cuts,
burns. scratches and skin eruptions-
healing without leaving scars. Rub 1t on
briskly and it will give almost instant
relief from aches, pains. and soreness. IT
should be on every lady's dresser"
