lS.Kdrdt Gold.

To say that a thing is as good
as gold is to credit it with
the highest possible merit.
So high is the golden standard
that people are pieased to have
their nobIest attributes associated
with it.
Gold is a dangerous word to
apply to a plated article. human

claim makes it subject, The acid

! STUBBS WILL CARRY ARSENAL

Duke F. Stubbs, who was in the city this week from Aniak, had an adventure recently which increased the number of gray hairs in his thatch and which wiu be remembered by him to his dying day.
 Last October, while trsveling near the. mouth of Bear creek he encountered g large brown bear and two husky 2-year-old cubs, He was unarmed, and so he ende@vored to avoid attracting their attention. The old bear spied h;m, however, and made for hin. Stubns stood still believing that his hour had come and hoping that 1t would ba a. painless as possible Incidentally he rcnsem- bers having hoped that the impending meel would give the cubs indigestion. When within striking distance the old female rose on her hind feet ard came st the terri fled United States commissioner with Up- lifted paws. The ground was icy and she stumbled over a niggerhead and rolled over in an undignihed heap, and ii Stubbs had been possessed of any kind of weapon he might have had bear for supper She arose sud came toward him again. But just at the critical moment the two cubs started q demonstration of some kind and took to their heels, and the old bear ab2ndoned her prey and took after them.
 Mushers who meet Stubbs on the trail hereafter will perhaps be reminded of the European war, because he intends to carry a whole arsenal with him-h!gkpower rifle, heavy revolver for cIose-range lighting, and perhaps pockctful of bombs.

GOOD WORD FOR THE TANK

Cheer up all you whisky-topers. Some body hes sad good word for you. Come closer, boys, and listen to this close har- mony from the lips of none other than the Hon. Ira E. Landrith first time we ever heard of him , who was the Prohibition can didate for vice president. He sad In an address before college girls: Don't judge the drunkard too harshEy. For one thing he never is tightwad He who worships the eagle on the dollar seldom worships the bottle on the shelf The mean, miserly narrow skinfint does not get drunk. The man who becomes a drunkard likes men !; the miser has no social instinct. Prohlhl- ton of the liquor traffic will save to us a generation of men who will give blessing to their time"
 The eminent prohibtionist seems to know something about the good old drunks who have staggered down into the darkness of
 he grave. More than commonly he fath oms the hearts of the James Whltcomb Rileys, the Visschers, the Davises, the Hoyts, the Londons and the whole list of those who loved good fellowship
 But was he wise in telling those young women that drunkards are not tlghtWads that they are, so generous that they glve everything away, including themselves? It is said that women love generosity best of all the masculine traits, and despise mean ness in man more than any other defect. Possibly the speaker, looking forward to that bright day when all the booze will be converted into fuel for autos, expects the young ladies to select for husbands those who would have been drunkards if they had the chance. This sounds reasonable, and is recommended to all girls for exactly what 1t is worth, which is nothing. Nome Nugget.

PIONEER STEAMSHIP LINE
 GOES OUT OF EXISTENCE

With the merging of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company with the Admiral hne recently the historic "toot' of the former company, which has echoed along the Pa
 hc slope for the past forty years, passed into history. The change attracted consld- erable attention along the Anacortes water i front when the steamship Queen, one of the best known of the old P. C. $. $. boats, came into port and, instead of sounding the old familiar signal of two long and one | hort blasts, she sounded the toot of the Admiral line of steamships long, one short and one long whistle.
 | For more than generation the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's "toot" has been known to practically everyone living in q Pacific coast port of call from San Diego to the coast of Alaska. The historic "toot' of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company dates back to early days on the Pacific coast, when the Pacific Coast Steamship Company was without rival in the field, and when its house flag was familiar to everyone who lived on the coast.
 In those days the sound of two long blasts followed by short one meant only one thing-that one of the big Pacific Coast Steamship vessels was coming into port and nearly everyone knew the name of the vessel by the tone of the whistle.
 The passing of the historic "toot" is viewed ith feeling of regret in Anacortes. Its sound for years has been anxlouSly awaited by longshoremen and those who were expecting freight from the south and since the first of the year it has had joyful sound for those expecting shipments from Calfornla.-Anacortes American.
