The officers OF the steamer Mari

immense ice foes from Columbia

channel between the wreck of the
Olympia and the mainland to avoid the
great bergs which were floating In the
channel usually taken by steamers
entering and leaving Ellamar.
The officers believe that the unu.
sual ice conditions must have been
caused by an earthquake, which
caused the big glacier to empty mil.
lions of tons of ice into the bay as
the field of ice was extensive and the
bergs larger than any ever before
encountered along this part of the
coast of Alaska. Severe earthquake
shocks have been experienced around
Juneau and other Southeastern points
and the Mariposa's officers believed
that the disturbances had extended
to the north and caused the glaciers
to break loose

which has always been very active
during the late summer, has been
discharging immense quantities of ice
this fall, and at times the channel
between Glacier island and the gla-

They express the belief that the ice
encountered by the Mariposa was car
ried out from the Glacier Island chan

sion during the pas: few years auto
mobiles are now making regular trips
winter and summer between this coast
and Fairbanks. A few years ago the
mail was roughhecekcd to the interior
by dogs and the most primitive means.
Then followed the double ender and
next the four and six horse stages
with warm furs and foot-warmers.
Now passengers are sped over the
snow roads and across the iced rivers
in modern touring cars. Though a
long cry from the dog sleds to the
automobiles, the change has taken
place in few years time.
Dogs are mostly used as yet over the
trail from Seward to the Iditarod.
But as more roadhouses are built and
the trail conditions are improved
double enders and finally automobiles
will also follow along that route.
Meantime, the government is project.

The time for travel is much shorter

the interior than is true of summer
conditions when the trip is made down
the great Yukon river and then up the
Tanana river to Fairbanks.

Why and When Advertising Pays

If men bought only those things suggested to them by their unstimuated wants if they pur- chased food only sustenance clothing only for covering and erected houses only for shelter; if all men did these things. they would make up povertv-stricken community. Their abstemious ness would leave them richer at the end of meager existence While their expenditures woulc be small the absence of enterprise and the slow and sluggish circulation of in the com niunty would leave them without means of ac- quiring much.
 That do not, rule. order theIr Ewes this way is due judicicus advertising by those who have things to sell. Advertisements suggest to purchasers this that luxury convenience which they could very easily get along without They would not miss the comfort and satisfac- ton such things would bring. But when they are suggested to them, the purchase of them is apt to follow and that much money is diffused throughout the community.
 The automobile business. perhaps. the greatest manufacturing industry in this country. has been built up twenty years by advertising If twenty years ago tl:ere had beer dozen auto
