Use C0tt0le1le
for cooking


When you shorten or fry your
food with butter it is needless eX-
travagance. Butter is too expen-
sive for use anywhere but on your
table. If butter were really bet
ter, would produce better results
in cooking, you would be justified
in usingit, but it won't. Cottolene
is fully the equal of butter for
shortening; it is better for frying.
It makes food rich, but not greasy,
because it heats to a higher
temperature than lard. or butter,
and cooks so-quickly that the fat
has no chance to soak in" Cot
tolene is more healthful than lard,
and you only need to use two
thirds as much as you would of

lard. ~ \

NORTHERN CONDITIONS
 NEVER so BRIGHT

Never have conditions in Alaska looked brighter for banner year in business than at present. From Nome to skagway. all cities are preparing for added business and many of them are enjoying the resumption of traf- fic which has already begun. That there is to be an enormous increase in the Interior business is evidenced by the way the transportation com panies are starting out to capture it.
 One of the foremost to see the com ing events is the White Pass Rail- way Company. With new boats on the lower Yukon and new boats being put into service connecting Seattle with Fairbanks in a through transpor, tation service, evidences the foreshad- owing of activities to come.
 The government is sure to begin the construction of railroads within the next year, which means the de- yelopment of the country along many lines. Coal mining has already be- gun, and gold and copper mining is increasing by leaps and bounds.
 The increasing output of the Atlin mining district and the new strikes in the Teslin is even now adding to the business that is being done in Skag- way Juneau is enormously increas- ing her mining development; the White river, and Kluane countries are showing better than ever before, and there is a promise of a railroad being constructed tapping the rich deposits in the districts back of Haines.
 Coming right down to home affairs We hear it rumored, from good sourc- es. that the White Pass is to stand ardize their system and begin laying a broad guage track before the clos 'ng of another season. It is with that end in view. that no new equipment is being ordered for the present sys- tenn. Considering all things there is every reason to believe in coming era of prosperity that will satisfy the most pessimistic ic-Skagway Alaskan.

LURE OF TREASURE HUNTING
For the Sake Of Romance and Adven-
ture Do Not Discourage the
Seeker of Treasure.

For the sake OF romance and ad-
venture and all that puts color into
life It is to DO hoped that the failure
OF the expedition which recently went
to the Isle of Cocos In search of pirate
gold will not mark the end of treasure
hunting. In the interest also OF the
good town OF Panama, where the treas
ure seekers are wont TO outfit and buy
supplies, we should point out that
negative results never really proved
anything. There may be gold on Co
cos. There may BIO millions OF pieces
of eight and pewels galore and wine
which the buccaneers, who had more
than they could drink, eaid aside for n
rainy day. Because many treasure
hunters have rnnsacked Cocos from
end TO end no man can say that the
next treasure hunter will not find that
for which ell the others have labored
and sought in vain.
Treasure hunters are of the earth's
salt. They are the dreamers Of great
dreams, the seers o. wonderful vision,
the makers OF romance. All the world
loves or should love them. The news
OF the day ia too much hardened with
