 NORTH NARRIES

Word comes from Fairbanks, Al aska of the marriage there on Oc- tober 9th of Miss Nugget Johnston to Clyde W. Geraghty.
 Forn in the North, in the Stew art river country, Mrs, Geraghty has lived practically all her days in the Yukon Territory and interior Alaska and for several years was an officer of the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden North. She has also been an active member Of the Fairbanks high school so- Cial circles.
 Mir. Geraghty is one of Fairbanks most substantial young business men, for several years being chief clerk for the Alaska Road commis- sion. E!s I

FOOD VALUE OF FISH

Fish should occupy a more i'm Dor.au, position in the American d.et. This is the decision of the American Fisheries Society, recent lv n session at New Orleans, pro- bably influenced by trade interests, but nevertheless worthy of consid- eratiCn. With the advances in the cost of meat, Americans are likely to acQu re new friendship for fish diet fer purely economic reasons, as.Le from relative dietary values.
 The Fisheries Society contends tR4t fish are more valuable as 8 food than eggs, beef or poultry, and ft makes a showing in comparative figures as to caloriCs, proteins, car bolydrates and other measures of fo3d value.
 No doubt the portions of this coan'ry remote from the coasts would be more liberal consumers if ffe supply was more economically handled. The society voices some uomplaiuts of this and suggests the parcels post and express lines as convenient and economical mediums oE supply for. the consumer. Eng land delivers fish by parcel post. IT. IS supplied to consumers, pack cj and refrigerated, at from to ly Gents per pound, according to tn variety ordered.
 but even at existing prices the f:sh demand in this country is con sfantIy increasing. Compared with present beef, poultry and egg prices baltbuf, cod and salmon are more economical foods, especially for those who live within a reasonable dis aucs of the seabOard, and less expensive system of handling and distributing would increase the public demand very materially.-Se- atus Post Intelligeneer.

\ FINE ADVERTISEMENT

The announcement that by an overwhelming vcte of tue people Alaska has recorded its decision in favor of prohibition, will be a great advertisement for the big Territory. It will open the eyes of the peo- ple cf the States, who have long regarded the inhabitants of the uortnland as a semi-barbaric race, given to watOnEess and desregard Of the common rules that guide civ ilizat4On. As a matter of fact, Al askaus are essentially law-abiding aud law-respectiRg people. At tn very first opportunity, the Alaska legislative assembly passed a law giving women the right of suffrage. And now We record ourselves in no uncertain terms with respect to prohibition. We are in advance of many of the States of the Union, an amorE these states are several in the extreme east that have always labored under the delusion that thev were the leaders in civilizing inIluences,-Anchorage Times.

STATION
 EXPERIMENTAL

Alaska's first experimental mine station will be in operation early mex spring. The secreetary of the interior has the determination of the places at which the experimnetL stations shall be erected in the United States. He has selected Fairbanks as the site of the first station to be established in Alas ka.
 John A. Davis, of ths bureau of mlnes, under the interior depart ment, is on his way to the states after having visited Fairbanks 10 mako an examination of the country in and around that section and to perform certain preliminary work in regard to the establishment of the experimental station.
 On his journey to Fairbanks MT. Davis had considerable experience in trail travel. He was eleven days going and about ten days coming out. He was accorded every court esy and facility for his inVestiga- ton while in Fairbanks. The Fair banks Commercial Club and other organizations signified their willing, ness to cooperate with the new bu- reau.
 This experimental station will be an invaluable asset to tue prospect ors and miners of Alaska. All ore Will be tested, and doubtless many new metals will be discovered in tha rock, which will rebound to the benefit of the miner ,and general information relative to mining in all is phases will be furnished.
 MT. Davis will have charge of the Fairbanks station. He will return to Alaska early next spring with equipment and other material for the new station and will so direct ly to Fairbanks and there establish Alaska's new mining statiOn.-Ex.

 To cure kidney backache you must cure the kidneys.
 Use q tested and proven kidney remedy.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test.
 Convincing proof of merit in the following endorsement.
 Mrs. c. E. spink, 6624 Carleton Ave. Seattle, Wash, says: q had lot of trouble with my back. It ached day and night and I could not rest.

FAYORS POLITICAL PARTY
 PARTIAL TO NORTH

Seattle, - Alaskans generally will receive the news of the re- election of President Woodrow Wil- son with satisfaction, according to " P. Hillery, vice-presidenet Of the Bank of Alaska, with headquarters a: okagway, who. with Mrs. Hillery and their child, registered as guests at The New Washington, says the Seattle Times of Nov. 13.
 me present administration is tbe first one so far that has mani- fes ed any desire to do anything in a biz way for Alaska" said Hillery, and while have been lifelong RcDlb.ican, I am strong for the paF ty whcih will do the greatest good in the North.
 "ProhibHion has won its fight in tho last great frontier country in Amer:ca and l want to say that prohibition in Alaska will do more good ard carry with it less chance oF business demoralization than 1t coul; anywhere under the Ameri- can flag. Whiskey has been Alas ka's Vreatest curse and am glad it has gene to stay.
 "The banking business is con stantly growing in strength in the southeastern part Of the country, the skagway branch of the Bank of Alaska having received deposits os a half million dollars since its .rpsD 'l.", March 26, 1916'' 1T :,

HAYNES NOTES

Haines, Dec. 6-There is quite an epidemic of measles among the Indian children at Haines, and in consequence the white school has closed for the present. I am told that there are some twenty odd cases in the Presbyterian hospi- tal; there have been no deaths re- ported so far. Y
 Eaines is experiencing the hard est storm that I have even seen here at this time of year. The SHOW is some four or five feet deep on a level, and for the last three days there has been a very heavy wind from the Chilkat, causing the SHOW to drift badly. One of the f~"n' doors in town is completely covered up with snow, and some places jn the streets it is from six to eight or ten feet deep, with the thermometer showing down about zero.
 Homer Banta who was operated ia at the Post hospital is reported 10 be getting along nicely, but will not be able to leave the hospital for week or two yet.
 The party which was to have come off at the A. B. Hall tonight, has again been postponed indefinite Iy on account of the epidemic of measles.

DEPEW GIVES RECIPE HOW TO
 LIVE LONG

If you want to live longer than the PsaImists three score years and ten, this is how to do it, according to Chauncey M, Depew:
 Get up early, no matter what time you go to bed.
 Cut out tobacco and alcohol if they disagree with you.
 Have an eye for a pretty girl and tell your wife all about her.
 Keep your mind serene. Choleric persons die early. ..Ir
 Have a hobby like golf.
 Be charitable, not in your will, bu' during your life.

HOTEL DEWEY
 IN NEW HANDS

The Dewey Hotel has partially changed hands, being taken over Dd cember first by N. B. Clemenger and Mrs. A. NJ. Broughton.
 The Dewey is the oldest, and one of the most popular hotels in skag- way.
 MT. Clemenger has been connected with this hotel for many years, and for that reason need not be in- .troduced to the people of Skagway, nor the travellers in the north. Mrs. Broughton is a recent arrival in Skagway. but may properly be classed among the pioneers of Al aska. She spent several years in Alaska, some ten years ago. At tha time she was in SkagBay seV- eral months, and was engaged at the hospital as 8 trained nlrse. Lat CT she went to Whitehorse where she engaged for some time in her profession as nurse; from there she went to the interior, where she taught school until her marriage with MT. Broughton. She has ex- parienced all the haTdships incident to q life in the interior of Alaska. She understands the people of Alas ka, and also the conditions in this northern country, and will undoubt- edly fill her new position with cred t to herself and to the Batisfac- ton of her guests.
