The Juneau Empire and the Juneau Dispatch each come to us in a new dress which adds much to their attractiveness. The last issue of the Skagway Alaskan shows that it has also been patron izing the Seattle millinery firm of Barnhart Bros. X Spindler. The Sentinel congratulates the publishers of there publications. The prosperity of a town is gener- ally reflected in its newspapers. and when they begin to put on airs 1t is a sure sign of increased business activity in the region where they are published.

ALASKANS FORM TYPE.

Alaskans are said to form a dis tinet type. It is as pronounced as is that Of 9 southern, the west. erner or the down-east Yankee.
 Environments undoubtly have a great deal to doin forging type. In an earler stage of embryo civ ilization Or advanced savagery he indian tribes of the North American continent were distinc- tive according to local climatic and geographical conditions gov erning.
 The Alaskan type carries with 1t the idea of bigness, of self confidence, of wide charity, of quickened sympathies Of direct honesty and of impatieace with petty conventions and the plac- ing of money value above every thing else. The Alaskan is a strong individualist. His opinions are positive and expressed some times without regard to that of the othsr fellow. Hence the bit ter factional fights often eBgen- dered.
 Tho Alaskan is never of a cringing sort. President N ilson or Roosevelt or Hughes or Nor gan could walk the streets of any of the towns of Alaska without creating any more excitement than the arrival of some sour- dough from the hills. Indeed, should either one of those per sons be making a speech and a miner come to town with news of a new strike the whole crowd would stampede to the miner and forget the existence of the celeb rity.
 In short, in the makeup of the average Alaskan are many of the characteristics of the country the pure, free air, not tainted with the city's breath which sweeps over wide distances of mountains and plains. the near ness to nature plains. the near

the state of Nevada. Thefuture growth of Wrangell will be large ly affected by mining activities in the Stikine river country. It is the very bigness ot some Of the Stikine propositions that is hold ing them back. Many of our readers will remember how that the great Treadwell mine was three times abandoned before being successfully operated. We have personal knowledge that there are men on the ground now who have almost unlimited capital beeind them. The results of prospecting along the Stihlne during the past year have been astounding. Greater activity ln the future is certain. The Stik- inc region is destined to become one of the greatest mining re- gions in Canada. Its business will be handled through the Port of Wrangell.

THE NEW BANK BUILDING.

The announcement that tbe Bank of Alaska Is to have new con. crete building that will be modern in every respect will be received with enthusiasm by the people oi Wrangell who are justly proud O. the new banking institution.
 The decision of the Bank ot Alaska to erect a modern building for its own home so soon after be- ing established is another evidence of the business activity that has marked the year 1916 as one of the best in the history of WrangeIl.

HIGH COST OF PAPER.

The price of paper. which has advanced from 100 to 200 per cent or more. over prices pre- yailing a year ago, seriously threatens the life of a large number Of publications through. out the country and greatly less ems the profits of others.
 It is doubtful if any other large industry in the United States has had to face so serious a situation. because when prices of raw materials have advanced the manufacturers of the finished products have advanced their prices and thus thrown the bur den on the ultimate consumer. In the newspaper business this has not been done. The news- papers. from the largest daiiies to the smallest weeklies, have been bearing the burden which to so many publications will mean complete destruction and to many others the wiping out of all profit.
 Had the newspapers of the country been as prompt to de fend their own interests as they have the interests of others, they, too. would before this have undertaken to save themselves by an advance in subscription and advertising rates. Under existing conditions they will be forced to do this sooner Or later. Douglas Island News.

WHY WE ARE LOCATING IN
 WRANGELL.

Our decision to locate in Wran- gel was influenced more than anything else by our implicit faith in Wrangell's future.
 Since coming to Alaska three years ago We have visited Wran- geil three times, and each time we have noted changes and improve menCs which show that the town is steadily going forward. Since our last visit few months ago 6 bank has been established and negotiations are now going on for other ventures. The present business conditions are good.
 The local industries are of a kind that insure permanency.
 Trade with the West Coast is increasing. Everything points to bigger opportunities and greater achievements. But it is when We look 10 the east that We behold the brightest star in Wrangell's future. The name of this star is S1kine. Several years ago one of the newspapers of Salt Lake City referred to the State of Nevada as Salt Lakes most important suburb. Had the brilliant Utah journalist resided at Wrangell he would no doubt have caused our Canadian friends to smile by referring to the whole western half of Canada as a suburb of Vrangell. Nevertheless Wran- gel. located as it is at the mouth O. the Stikine river, is natural base for supplies for a region of mineral wealth much larger than

GUARD YOUR FAMILY

PERUNA protects the family
against coughs, colds, catarrh,
bronchitis, catarrh of the stomach,
liver and kidneys. It is just as
sure to relieve a case of catarrh of
the bowels as it is case Of catarrh
of the head.
Anyone suffering from catarrh,
severe or mild, acute or chronic, in
any organ or part of the human
body, should at once get a bottle of
PERUNA.
As soon as the value Of PERUNA
is fully appreciated in every house
hold, both as a preventive and a
relief from catarrhal affections,
tens of thousands of lives will be
saved and hundreds of thousands
of chronic lingering cases will be
prevented. PERUNA, indeed, is a
household safeguard.
A course of PERUNA never fails
to bring relief in such cases, since
there is no remedy like it, as
thousands of people have testified.

Don't Neglect to Paint.
It is apparent to even the casual
observer that many property owners
let their rented houses, or houses for
rent, go too long without painting.
This neglect makes the houses look
unsightly but also hastens the day Of
decay. A little paint is a good invest
ment from every viewpoint. II pre-
serves the wood and II keeps the
houses rented. The writer visited an
Illinois town last spring and after
careful observation found not a single
house which was not well and fairly
recently painted, There had just been
a clean up and paint up campaign.
The impression left was one of
thriving town where a man would like
to live and bring up family. The
yards were well kept, with lawns,
flower beds and shrubhery, and each
householder seemed to vie with mis-
neighbor in making his place look at
tractive.
