 Representatives of the Jacklins mining interests will arrive in Sew ard within a very few days to sur vey conditions in the mining line around this country. The same in terests were represented here some time ago when the Moose pass prop critics were examined, but that exam ination was only sort of prelim- mary survey. No other facts, except that the people are coming on one Of the next boats, are permitted to be published at present, but that much is a fact Jackling is the president of the Alaska GaStineau mining company, near Juneau, which has put more money into development of that property than some great min ing concerns would regard as for tune in itself. He is associated with the Hayden-Stone interests, which are, probably, the largest in the United States in their line. Bart Thane, the manager of the Alaska Gastineau, has taken direct inter- est in the mining outlook in the country inland from Seward, and to him is due, it is said, the sending of the men here to investigate. All indications now point to the begin ming of mining activity in this dis trict by !, the interests mentioned Seward Gateway

 For Flying Finish

In his effort to make flying fin ish upon his arrival in this city Wednesday, Bobby Sheldon was deemed guilty of expeeding the ceed limit and was duly fined ten dollars by his honor Judge Buckley.
 Bobby imagined that the Overland Limited had the right of way in town the same as it has on the trail and was coming down Cushman street with flags flying, giving his passengers a thrilling entrance into the city beautiful.
 Chief Wi5eman saw Bobby coming, Buckley saw Bobby at ? o'clock and Bobby saw both of them for ten, but did not care to raise the ante.

 GOOD PUBLICITY
Natlon Learns of County's Progress Through Maga-

There were more good ro1ds in and around Pine Bluff than had seen
 Ut any other section of the state" mats tue way Barton w. Curlie. Speclal writer on economical agricul- 'uFal conditions in the South for the country Gentleman, writes in the current number Of that publication. under c"t which shows a stretch Of the DollarWay road. Of this par jJcniar road he says:
 Among them is a tWenty-two mile lconcrete speedway"
 Secretary John IT. Tucker, Jr.. of the Young Mems Progressive Busi- ness league comes in for considerab praise from Mr. Cnrrie, who devotes 1ho greater part of his article to Pine Bluff and Jefferson county. That many thousands of people will read 31le article with interest. and will learn something truthful of conditions III this imnediate section, may be accepted as a surety, with equal as &nfance that Pine Bluff and Jeffer- s3n county will profit therefrom.
 Af. GVfrie states he was informed at would find the soils of Jefferson county ''as rich as tie Babylonian plalf of the Eu9hrates, but l would also find that with cotton down to seven cents q pound Pine Bluff was flat on it's back gasping for air like a stranded trout"
 What really found," continued MT Currie, were half million dol lars worth cf schools. with an at tendance of 5000, which is at least fair for a town of 25,o0o, and more good roads than I had seen in any other section of the state.'
 Col. John M. Oracle and r. IT. Walker are also mentioned by name in the article. MT. Currie expresses the opinion Jefferson county will always be a cotton growing county. and saws.
 The prosperity of Pine Bluff may sag little from time to time, but there is very little chance of it's ever breaking unless some new geologic change occurs to force it out of it's peculiarly favored position along one of the very fattest ribs of the back bone of America

PUBLIC INTEREST
ARTICLE SERIES

On account of our typo being out
of town last week we were short of
help and of course did not have
much news in the paper, so we fail
ed to go ahead with our Public
Article Series.
This week we notice the sign of
H. N. Roberts on one side of the
street, where you can get fresh
cigar before going over on the
other side and getting out your car
at the Kendrick Auto Company to
take spin over the Potlatch, the
California of the Northwest.
First mentioned is the Roberts
Confectionery. This firm uuder
it's present owner, H. N. Roberts,
is we'll known as the old Lorang
house. Mr.. Roberts purchased it
some two and half years ago and
has made many changes in the ap-
pearance of the interior of the
building as we'll as adding many
new features to the stock and fix
lures. Mr.. Roberts conducts one
of the best ice cream parlors in this
section in the summer, and through
the winter he serves you with hot
drinks and lunches. His confec-
tionery department is second to
none and always has in stock fresh,
pure candies and all the choicest
fruits and nuts of the season.
Over on the other side of the
street you will find the smiling face
of our jovial friend, G. M. Lewis,
always ready to take a prospective
Auto buyer for a spin through the
town. Mr.. Lewis was formerly the
local jeweler of this city but, like
most of us, got smell of gasoline
last winter and about a year ago
decided to start a garage in Ken
drlck. In the past year he has
sold fifteen cars aud about two
hundred barrels of the oily fluid to
make these and other cars spin
over the hills of the Potlatch coun-
try. He has always been busy with
car repairing and is planning to
put his equipment in shape to
handle much larger business the
coming season. Let the good work
go on for think of the sport you
can have with those pleasure ma
chimes.

Juliaetta Notes

S. T. Dunlap is again in his office
after being confined to his house
with severe cough for a few days.
j. H. Bucklew, Rural Carrier on
Route l, says that roads are too
soft for the sleigh so has taken to
wheels again.
Word has been received from
Columbus Clark and Marsh Carlton,
who left couple of weeks ago for
the Exposition in California, that
they had arrived safely and were
busy taking in the sights.
Wilson Buchanna has his new
house about completed, having just
finished wireing for the electric
lights. He will soon move into his
own home.
Our street commissioner has been
kept busy this week keeping the
water from cutting our streets as
the ground was frozen and the
cutters were full of ice. But
by steady work our streets are
saved and in a few days will be
solid once again.
We hear a good deal of talk about
hot beds. Several are getting
ready for sowing their tomato seeds
as there will be large acreage in
tomatoes this year.
Frank White and son have Just
finished cutting 80 cords of wood
for R. H. Porter.
Some of our farmers are fearful
for the late sown fall grain as we
have had such long cold spell this
winter and the frost went so deep.
At the present price of grain it
would mean something to have to
reseed a large field of wheat. 1t
would be something unusual for
wheat to freeze out in this locality
and most of our farmers would
have to buy their seed for spring
seeding.
Jim Fisher was on our streets
shaking hands with old friends.
Jim moved near Ferdinand last fall
and has been engaged in the wood
business this winter.
