A splendid tourist season has just closed and already the transporta- tlon companies are setting their suarcs and arranging their traps for a larger catch of tourists next year than has ever before been known While this is an right, the fact remains that Che towns Of Cas- uueau Channel do not receive what they are entitled to or the tourist trade and patronage They visit us both going northward and west ward and returning. but aside from few of them coming ashore, buy ing a few postcards, visiting our mining mills and inspecting our Glory Hole, we see very little of them

Glac- iers are never-iailIng winners with tourists. but while there are several Of them within a radius of a few miles of us. there are none visible from our wharycs and front doors. This is deficiency that may easily bc overcome Only a few years ago and while a resident of the Yukon Territory the Stroller conceived and carried out the project Of a hand painted glacier that became famous as one of the attractions of the Broad. White North The same thing can be done here on Cas- tiucau Channel Back Of Doug las and just above the water rcser- yoirs is ou ideal location for a glac- fer.
 We must have something that will cause visiting tourists to emit such cjaculatons as "How Lovely, "Isnt that sweet. "How utterly ut,or." "The Dear thing" "Tn be gosh dcrued." and other expressions coming to tourists, and to have them do SO we must interest them.
 In painting a glacier the Stroller suggests that few white objects be scattered around after Che blue paint Is put on. and that an local people be instructed Co Inform tour .sts that Che white objects are mountain goats. Another suggestion is that. while Che bluff Is only 1000 yards distant from Che dock, we agree to inform an strangers that it Is fully five miles. glacial atmos- pbcrc being very deceiving.
 The person to whom the contract is let for painting the glacier must be instructed to make a few blurs

 "Who ia to be lynched tonight?" asked the Stroller.
 Zion calmly rose from the hcllbox on which he was sitting and walked over to Che editorial desk Drawing himself to his full six feet in his bare feet, he exclaimed in deep gut teral - moonshine soaked guttcral tones:

 Zion was assured that the Stroll Ter would keep his grave green even if he had to paint it.
 Zion did not go home but ate the office paste for lunch that day About 4 o'clock and just as he had finished administering farewell cussng to old somnam, a light foot step was heard on the stairway leading to the office and a voice in sllvcry tones was singing some thing about:
 l know my honcy's heah
 An Tse his little deah
 An when he ain't lookin'
 I'se gwine to bite his eah.
 It was Llzan and she had new red necktic for Zion. Ten minutes later the Stroller heard Zion say:

 The Stroller suggests that Ju- noau's contribution towards the enc teralumont of tourists be an active volcano on Mount Juneau and this can be installed at a very small outlay. couple Of barrels of tar being sufficient for a season as it need be operated only when a steamer is in the channel
 There is no denying the fact, that 1T we expect tourists to re- member and talk about our towns and their attractions after they re- turn to their homes, we must in- tercst them while they arc here.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS

The formal opening of the new
store of the Emerson Mercantile
company attracted a big crowd last
Saturday and was a complete success
in every particular. All day long the
spacious room was crowded with
shoppers, who did not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that in appoint
ments, arrangement and beauty the
new store is by far the finest in
Whitman county and would be a
credit to any city in the state. Near
ly a thousand people visited the
store during the evening to see the
latest styles displayed on living mod
els. A bevy of pretty girls came
down from the balcony clad in the
new fall suits and after making a cir
cult of the lower floor returned to
the balcony and then appeared again
three times, first in the new fall
coats, then in evening gowns and
later in opera cloaks. During the day
selections were rem
dered and a demonstration of baking
with the products of the Elberton
flour mill was given.
