 Last summer MT. Zorn, upon read ing in an Eastern paper about the amount of money Sunday has made in his crusades against sin, wrote the latter saying that by bringing dredge into the Mt.

 Zorn gives a graphic picture of his years experience in prospecting his property and fighting against the bangs of hunger. One of his dogs starved, and two more died of poi. son. All alone he gave them decent burial, planted a cross at their heads and continued work with pick, shov. el and gold pan.

ALASKA'S 49th
 ANNIVERSARY
Wednesday, October 18th, Observed as Holiday Throughout
 Northern Empire

Day before yesterday, Wednesday the 18th. commcmoratcd the 49th anniversary of the hauling down Of the Russian flag at Sitka and re- placing it with the Stars and Stripes. and. incidentally. it may be said. if there was as much rain at Sitka forty-nine years ago Wednesday as there was here on the latter date, there would be some damp bunting by the time thc eXchane Of flags had been made.
 The 18th Of October was made legal holiday by the last Alaska leg Islaturc and as such it is generally observed. especially by the public officials. schools and. in some local itics, the banks.
 When negotiations with Russia for the purchase of Alaska wc.c pending there were many eminent men who declared that it was just like throwing away the amount or money involved. seven million, two hundred thousand dollars. and See retary Seward. who was negotiating the deal. was very soundly criticised for what was termed his short-sight- ed policy. But even Seward and his most optimistic colleagues never sup- posed that Alaska would ever reach the period when she would yield one hundred million dollars annually as she is now doing and that before fifty years have elapsed since Old Glory began waving OCT her.
 When Alaska comes into the sis- torhood of states. as she is bound to come in the not distant future, hers will be the brightest star in the di- adem of American Statehood.

SUGGESTION BY MERCHANT

An oldtime and busy merchant Of Douglas suggests that bills. other than those contracted by those em- ployed by the mines and who re- ceive their money on the lGth of each month, be presented for pay ment on the first of each month in- stead of being held until the middle of the month. thus relieving the rush that invariably occurs in the stores at the latter dates. Those who are not employed at the mines can pay as easily on the first as at any other time and the merchants would prefer settling their bills then Co waiting until the buster time.
