Town Gossip and Stories
By The TattIer.

Not Like h the Valdez Prospector Ina. In of recent date appeared This Burg. an editorial entitled
 "A,askas Marriageable Men" IL is to be inferred from the article that The Prospector has been the recipient of an inquiry from some fair maiden relating to the subject of matrimony. as the editor has taken it upon himself 10 assure the lady that. although when once snared the average young man of Alaska is a docile beast. the snariE 7 of he is the hard part.
 All of which causes the Gossip Man to pause and wonder what ne is going to write about those two young people who are going to join hands and hearts at the A. B. mas ouerade ball on New Years eve. The reason is that there have been no less than 20 snarings in Fair banks during the past four months, Dan Cupid having provided the snaI 3 in each instance, and it is hard matter to find something new aud interesting about a wedding immed lately after a large number have taken place. And some of the brides in those 20 or more weddings were Outside Queens" too.
 The article in question is as fol lows:
 Alaska, as a matrimonial bureau makes good reading for the eastern magazines, but we of Alaska know that the young woman who leaves a life of usefulness in the east to come to the great northwest on the chance of cooking sourdough pan cakes for some masculine aspirant god chance of going hungry. This is one of the stock jokes perpetrated upon the feminine public by the eastern space writer. The fact of the matter is that half of our gay young bachelors, who allow the al falfa to accumulate under their chins while they hunt the golden nuggets have come to Alaska to escape that very thing Of course, there are many young men in Alaska who would jump into matrimony as they would fall into a stream-unprepar ed, and with a vague idea of how cold and chilly the water was. No, Catherine, we would advise you to put all thoughts aside of snubbing some strapping young Alaskan to the matrimonial hitching post, be cause they are shy, wonderfully shy, and wiser than the serpent. Many of them might daily at the rivers brink with some coy, bash full damsel, but with flour S5 per hundred and long cold winter be- fore them-well, We should say not,

Deal Is Appointed
 To Advisory Board

Postmaster T. H. Deal, of this city, has received word from the department :o the effect that he will soon be appointed mem Der of the advisory board of postmas- ters of the United States, by Post master General Burleson. He has not yet received official notification of his appointment.
 Mr Deal will be the first Alaska postmaster to receive such an honor. Postcfiice advisory boards are usu- ally composed of heads of the larg- CT class postoffices of the country. and it is therefore probable that MT Deals is the only appointment of a third class postmaster made.

 Chicken Among the merchants of Comes Fairbanks or immediate Too High. vicinity there is known
 to be, or at least there is believed to be, a certain kind of reciprocation. That Is, merchants in the same line of business occa- sionally help each other out by eX- changing goods which they happen 10 be short of at the time they are needed. the charge made being only a nominal advance on the cost of the goods. The other fellow is therefore given chance to make a small percentage.
 Generally speaking, however, this policy of reciprocity does not pre- vail unless the merchants are in the same line of business. Particu- larly is this fact true when the hardware man buys from the gro cery store for his own needs, and vice versa.
 On Sunday evening not long ago. a dinner party was given at the re residence of a certain young lady in Fairbanks, or vicinity. A gen .leman friend of hers who, by the way. happens to be prominent merchant, had agreed to buy the "frills" if she would cook the din ner The event was therefore de cided upon and two more couples were invited in to share the repast, which, according to all accounts, was good one, the young lady in question proving herself to be an excellent cook.
 The groceries were good, too, hay ing been painstakingly selected by tradesman who fairly outdld him self in his effort to please, going all over town to get goods he did not have on his shelves and sending nothing but the best to the young lady's home. He did not present his bill until the first of the month It amounted to the munificent sum of s10.25. His surprise can be imagined when it is known that after cutting the price of his goods so low that he made no profit the merchant who bought the out fit demanded a reduction 10 per cent on the bill of supplies he had bought for his own party, for he needs the money.
 And he got it. For the merchant who sold the goods is small, both physically and financially. He etates, however, that his time may

 One of them finally said, ''Tn ready to go back" 50 am l" said the other. Let's go," said both at once.
 And that is how that. unhailed and unheknoWnst to their friends, Mrs. C. D. Wright and Mrs. Jeanne Rug gles happened to arrive in Fairbanks

seemed that there were some unjust

Truck Growers Cooperate.

The Henry County Truck
Growers Association will unite
with the girls canning clubs and
purchase their tomato cans in
car lots in order to cut down the
cost of production and enable
the local producers to compete
for the home trade and the trade
in other markets. They will
take orders from other markets
against competition. The toma-
toes will be canned according to
government rules and instruc
tons and will be sold under strong
guarantee as to quality. Last
year about so, cans were put
on the local market. This year
the output will be more than
5oabled. Arrangements are be-
made to crate the early fresh
tomatoes and place them upon
the local and other markets.
The crop is unusually large and
excellent in quality.
