ALASKA MUST HAVE ROADS

Word from Washington that the half million dollar appropriation for roads cut from the military appro pration by the house enough to arouse the ire ot all AaSkanS
 From Valdez Saturday. came plea that Seward oin in protest and earnest effort to have the fund re- stored before the bill is passed by the senate This plea also contained the information that the appropriation had been cut out on motion of Delegate WickeSham tele gram was rushed to Senator Chamberlain by the Cham Der of Commerce. asking him to do all in his power for the measure
 Should full reports from Washington show this to be the case the delegate will be in for severe criticism from his constituents It is difficult to imagine eXtenuamg cr cmstances sufficiently serious to warrant such an action
 Until the facts are at hand, however, 1t IS best that judgment should be withheld In the meantime every per son in Seward who cares bear the expense of telegram might we'll wire to the delegate and to Senator Chamber ain chairman of the committee which has this bill in hand in the senate That the people of Seward want that road and trail appropriation to go through is certain The building of roads and trails feeders to the government railroad and throughout the territory must not be stop ped.
 Action on the bill is expected before Wednesday, so obey that impulse

NO ALASKAN TOWN HAS EVER DIED ENTIRELY

In the first years of the rush to Alaska one constant
 v heard it said that suchand-such place would go back to the Indians and it is interesting now after nearly score of years to remember that not o these prede
 tons was fulfilled You see every district has some po- tentia resources that may not be in the beginning Atln was camp which people, even in 1899 were sayng
 was on it's last legs The sentence of death has been pro nounced on Wrangen thousand times Nome was dead and gone in 1902 although they had not then discovered
 its real wealth in the third beach line. Such examples could be enumerated as often there are towns m this northern land Our neighbor Skagway has probably better future than seemed to have ten years ago. And while talking of Skagway it occurs that the only eXcep tion to rule would be place like the classic White Pass City which fourshed for few months while the railroad
 was in course of construction but which could be called nothing more than temporary settlement at any time
 What is proven by all this is the old fact that people will find resources anywhere. The government really made mistake in warning crowds of people from coming to Alaska when the railroad construction began Lots of them of cose would go broke wherever they were but they would eventually find means of making living. This city like all the rest of them only had it's chief re- source discovered when people came for something ese and the same is true of all of them-(Juneau Dlspatch)

THE COST OF TRIP 1920

street-car fare, etc.; in fact, the 5000
covers all actual expenses, and this
amount is paid to the manager of the
tour. For an Individual to take this
trip alone it would cost at least
$4,000 to $500.

WHAT COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT j. r. POOLE
SAYS ABOUT TOUR
consider Bethune's Annual Educational Tour of
the Nations Capital very beneficial as we'll as delight
full would espec ally commend this tour to the teach
ers, many places of historical Importance can
be visited, and much gained that can be used to
such great advantage in the classroom.
Mrs. Poole and enjoyed it very much in 1914, and
very often speak of it one of the most delightful
as well as profitable trips We have ever taken. I
hardly see how Mr. Bethune can arrange to visit SO
many places and give such good fare at such small

REV. DIR. NORTHs OPINION OF THE TOUR
Bethunes Annual Educational Tour of the Nations
Capital is decidedly the best available aid in securing
a 10th century education
Mrs North and enjoyed it beyond expression in
1915, and profted greatly by it. It is strictly first
class in every particular from start to finish and
our strongest Recommendation. Mr.. Bethune has cas-
lily demonstrated his worthiness of being called Column
bus the End by discovering the possibility of furnish
ing such exceedingly delightful and valuable service
at little COST
Any student who carries his eyes and ears open on
this tour will realize benefit at least five times the
amount of the cost Of expenses

After spending night in high life
seven people narrowly escaped Sc

Twenty-fourth street near the Watch

Fortunately no member of the party

The gay party was returning from

car was hurled against the root of a

The occupants Of the machine were

that no serious injuries occurred from

merchant to stop the practice by refus-
ing to sell only the amount that he

taller is merely working under the

sell no more than two 100-pound bags

Bill Makes a Speach.


Ladies and Gentleman-I, Bill
Crandall, want to tell you some
thing about the meat business
| am the oldest butcher in Jas
per in service (anybody dispute
that?) have been in the busi-
ness twenty-five years. ] have
passed through three periods
was here in the good old days
when everybody ate meat and
ali they wanted | have sold
porterhouse steak for 10 cents
per pound, and there were such
things as soup bones, but the
price got started up and kept
going until it got so high | was
ashamed to sell meat and there
ceased to be any soup bones.
When put piece of meat on
the scales and you ask me how
much it was and l had to rub
my hands together and look at
the scales like / was studying
when l was actually ashamed to
tell you the price. But the
price kept going up until now |
don't care. can say it right
out without suffering. We
have quit trying to make a pro,
fit on meat. If we can break
even we are satisfied. We han
die it only to 60 with the other
lines of goods we handle and
| wouldn't care if we never sold
another pound, am making
this little speach, ladies and
gentlemen, so that when you
come in with a dollar bill and l
| don't give you enough meat to
cover it you won't look at me
as though / was some kind of a
hold-up man, and make some
kind of insinuating remark to
that effect, for we are going to
handle the meat as long as you
want it if it goes to dollar a
| pound, and anything else in the
eating line that you want and
we can get it. As long as you
will contribute enough for US to
pay our bills and pay Ase and
me for staying here we will be
be here.
Be very careful about asking us
for credit.
| CRANDALL BROS. means the
home of good things to eat and
when it don't we quit.
