4JosrlcE FOR ALASKA"


 Now that President Wilson, In his annual message read to Congress, is heartily in favor Of Secretary of Com. merce Redfeid, in his fight for more aids to navigation. and for Q wire drag survey in order to discover pin. nacle rocks in the waters of Alaska, it is probable that Congress will be- stir itself in order to furnish the bad ly needed funds to do this work, and thus make the waters fairly safe for our large fishing fleets.
 1t is hoped also that Congress VIII furnish the funds asked for by the .Sccretary. In order 10 provide tho D. s. Bureau of Fisheries, with the much needed yessels for properly carrying on its worS in Alaska At the present time the bureau has but one vessel and that one unsuitable for use e1- cepi in the protected waters of the Southeastern part of Alaska-for car rying in ita important work in Alaska Owing to the lack of suitable vessels Canadian halibut fishermen are con. tmually fishing on the territorial banks
 and making bases of operation of the many bays and harhors along the Alaskan coast.-( (Pacific Fishermon)

Willard j. Phinn Made Manager of the

Department

The Retailers journal. Chica.
go trade publication, speaking of
Mr.. Willard j Phinn's promotion
from travelling salesman Of
Sprague, Warner & Co., to be
manager of the tea department
of the firm says:
The selection of Mr.. Phinn as de-
partment manager, without previous
life long exper ience as q specialist in
this particular line Of work, is de
parture from former methods Of MAX
ing such selections, but Mr.. Phinn
was chosen because in performing his
duties as salesman he gave much time
and thought to the study of teas, re-
sulting in annual tea sales bear ing
| such q relation ~ lis tot. salrs MS to
attract the especial attention Of Spra-
que, Warner & Company. In addi-
| tion he showed such aptness for sys-
TEN and effective work as to indicate
to Sprague, Warner & Company an
unusual capacity for successful man
! agement.
Mr.. Phinn is well known to
many Of our Milbank people, as
he is a Son-in law of former
Sheriff Jennings and at one time
made his home in this city. He
has been with the Sprague,
Warner Go for eleven years past,
and previous to that had been
engaged as telegraph operator
and contracting freight agent for
the Minneapolis and Omaha rail
road company for about thirteen
years Mr. Phinns S Milbank
friends extend congratulations,
and only regret that the change
will necessitate his removal from
| WatertOWn to Chicago.

Dakota Central Appeals

The recent decision of the
state board of railway CON-
missioners ordering the Oak ota
Central and the Grant County
telephone companies to make a
physical connection of their
lines, has been appealed from by
the Dakota Central. We under.
stand that the Grant County
company, although it will be
compelled under, the decision to
do the collecting for all the two
phone service originating and
ending on it's line, has complied
with the the order of the railway
commission, in getting wires
ready for the proper connection,
and stands ready to perform the
service demanded of it, as soon
as the Dakota Central will make
the required con nection of wires
This appeal on the part of the
Dakota central may possibly de-
lay the physical connection, but
there is no question but that the
final decision will be that the
telephone company will be com
PEELED to obey the order of the
board of railway commissioners
and make the connection de man
ded by the citizens of Milbank.

Nassau to be- Phoenix CITY

An auto run over to the village
of Nassau last Monday gave US
ar opportunity to see the havoc
which was made ON the business
street of the town by the two
fires which have occurred there in
the past few months. While the
fires have inflicted severe loss
upon the town, and it may be
some time before all Of the build
ings are rep.aced, nevertheless
the new buildings as they go up
will be Of more subStant tial
character and in time what is at
present disaster will prove Of
benefit to the town. The Odd
Fellows have already done the
excava ing for their building and
will put up a brick structure,
with store on first floor and lodge
room on second floor.

Buys 4 Newspaper

We have received a copy of the
Maiden Rock (Wls.) Press, in
which an announcement appears
that w. G. Ashton, has purchas-
ed and taken charge Of the paper.
Mr.. Ashton states that he has
taken up the newspaper business
in Maiden Rock principally to be
near the Twin Cities, where he
has four sons aud some grand
children located, whom he was
desirous of being near.
Mr.. Ashton is a dentist and
was practicing that art when a
resident of Milbank, and we
trust he will be as successful in
drawing the subscription price
from the delinquent subscriber
as he was in separating victim
Of toothache from an offending
member when we were won't to
visit him. The Doctors intro
ductory brings to mind that this
is not his first experience in
newspaperdom, for he has been
the progenitor Of the following
publications:
Sauk County News at Prairie du-
Sac, Wis, then the Dental Review a
monthly. at Charlotte, Mich, in 1892
afterwards he bought the Roberts
County Record at Wimot, S. D. in
1885, later running the St. Louis Park
Mail, MINI. All these publications
with the exception of the News, are
dead and forgotten, not living long
after he severed his connection with
them. Probably he diagnosed a ca sc
of poor circulation and did not care
to witness slow death or pay the
funeral expenses.
His old Milbank friends ex-
tend greetings.

WANT WATER

At a meeting of the city coun-
Gil last Monday evening the sub
ject of water supply was discus.
sed, and it was resolved to en-
deavor to secure a supply of wa
ter by the use of large reser-
voir on the low land near the
creek owned by Messrs. Bear
and Malsed where it is believed
an abundant supply of excellent
water may be secured. The city
auditor was directed to get into
communication with contractors
who could put in such a reser.
voir and make it practical thing.
The council realizes that it has q
serious problem on it's hands,
but it is going to make an en-
deavor to solve it in a satisfactory
manner.

To CALIFORNIA OVER THE
TRAIL OF the OLYMPlAN''
Scenery aud Service All the Way.

This year offers the greatest travel
opportunities that Americans have
ever had. Unusually low fares West
make it possible for one to travel
farther and see more wonderful sights
then ever before for the same money.

fore, do not try to save as much
money as you can but try to see as
much of the wonders of the Gre at

than via any other route. This Is be.
cause it pierces through the heart OF
three great mountain ranges-the
mighty Rockies, the fOrested Bitter
Roots, and the snow capped Ca ascades
Gigantic feats of engineering have
been necessary to do this, and the re-
suit is truly delightful.
This route is called "The Trail OF
the Olympian, becau.e one of the
primer trains of the World-"THE E
OLYMPIAN'-is operated over it.
This an all-steel train, company
owned and manned by company EN-
ployees. A journey on "THE OLYM-
Plan" is indeed an event. the charm
of which you will always remember
unchanging service amid constant y
cha ging scenes.
From Seattle and Tacoma you jour

turesque "Rainer Sha asta' route.
After visiting the Exposition, yon
