HELPFUL TALKS TO BOTH
ADVERTISER AND BUYER.
Merchants Vile Advertise In local Pm
perS ms o., Rule Are Mere Progress,
siVe and de- Increased Business
(Morganfon News-Herald.)

(Mor&an4on News-Herald.)
There are but two Glasses of marA
chants-those who advertise and those,
who do not The man who adXentikes
has the best of the deal. He keeps
himself before the pIhhlic-he keeps
his wares, bafOre the public and Keeps
their quality and price uppermDst i'm
the public mind. PeGp1e talk much
about a man who advertises, bReanse
they know he has something worth
advertising or he wouldn't ADVERTISE
When an merchant ence' fully realizes
the value Of newspaper advertising 1t
is them and then only that. ha is really
ready to be classed In the same class
with his truly progressive contempOrA
aries progressive in the sense of the
word Is meaning Keeping pace with
Goth century ideas OF real Progreg&C
There are two special reasons stand
ing out before the others as TO why
the business men Of a community
should advertise in the county news
paper. First. It reaches people who
could probably be reached in NO other
way, for whether they are all on the
subscription list or not, more people
| read the county paper than any one
can estimate from subscription list
figures. II is the best possible meth
! od of reaching the great mass Of the
j people.
Then, whether merchants realize 1t
NAo7 not, or whether they advertise or
not, there is no institution which can
| be such factor for advancing COM
munity as its newspaper. In advo-
eating all progressive measures and
/ thereby helping the entire section of
country to reach more progressive
ideas of living, it does great work.
Any effort which accompanies this de-
serves the support of a community; 1t
| must have the support of those it is
able to serve in direct way and from
which service they can see returns.
They receive indirect benefits for
which no material compensation Is
ever given.
Have you ever noticed that you can
always pick out the merchants of a
town who are doing the biggest bus
iness by the means which appear reg
ularly or at least at. frequent Intervals
in ads in the local papers? -

In regard to Ballaine'a promoting schemes, the government seems to have anticipated that little of he public do- momain would be left for bona fde and sincere settlers if people of the Seward prom oter's type had thelr way, and so it has made large reservations accord ingly.
 The people, generally, are not "wise" to what is biting thess Seward mans foot The Government may, in its discretion, decide to buy the JOslin Road (The Panama Valley Railroad), and Johnny isn't in on that, hence his threat to run the railroad away from the metropolis of the Interior.

 'The permanent townsite will be To- dated on tidewater along the southerly side of the mouth of Ship Creek. The township survey will embrace an area of approximately 1e0 acres.

Lobbyists

get no hearing at Washington without the approval of Governor Brady, Cap tain Healy or Sheldon Jackson. For years this trio ruled Uncle Sam's most northerly possession with a road of iron and woe unto the white man who in- cured the displeasure of either of them All of them had the ear of Washington They all worked together. Without the o. K. of Sheldon. Healy and Brady any private enterprise was sure to fail. Be- tween them they represented and watched over the welfare of the trading companies, the Indians and the church They discouraged the white miner who came to look for the precious metals. The miners kept coming however in a steady stream and settled and the coali- ton government of t he missionaries and trading companies disappeared.
 Several successful years passed during which thriving communities sprung up throughout Alaska, then Congress in 1906 passed an act allowing the people of the Territory to be represented by one delegate to the House of Represen- atives to be elected for the same time and i'll the same manner as the other members of the House of Represent atives.
 Since Congress allowed Alaska to be- represented at Washington five elect ions have been held, by popular vote The first was held Tn August. 1906 and two delegates were elected. Mir. Waskey for the unexpired term of the Fifty ninth Congress Il d Mir Gale for the full term of fhe Sixtieth Congress. In 190S-l0.l2 Mr. Wickersha1n was ehos- en to represent tn people at the Na- tional capital
 Notwithstanding the fact that Alaska is represented by delegate, large num- bsrs of lawyers and agents hie regularly with divers designs and intentions to Washington to represent their clients who are generally corporations seeking special favors, and to work against t he peoples representative.
 The latest one of this description to come to our notice is one Johnny Ball. aine. It is reported that during the early days of Washington as a state he Was a hack driver plying between the railway station ill Olympia nd the legislative chamber. He decided th and there to become politician and lobbyist and wherever there is legisa- tion being enacted there you are liable to find Ballaine.
 The ultimatum handed out by John Dallaine, the unsuccessful promoter of divers schemes and plans, that the government will not build the railroad to Fairbanks---is . wild chimera that can only find room to lodge in the brain of a lunatlc or fool
