ADVOCATES MOTHERS PEN
 SION LAW GREATLY PLEASED

Little Rock, Feb. 23.-Notwith- standing the fact that thirty-three counties had been exempted from the provisions of the bill, the advocates of the Mothers pension law are great ly pleased over its passage in the House yesterday. It is believed that this beginning will demonstrate the justice of such law, and that it will become statewide in time. One of those who have been most interested in the passage of the bill is Miss Lil- lian Pendell, of Fort Smith, who came as a special envoy from the mothers teachers and suffrage clubs of Fort Smith, and has spent several weeks here in its interest.

FORTY-NINE YEARS OLD.

With this issue the "Old Reliable" enters upon its fiftieth year of exis- tence. Established in Philadelphia in February, 1868, by Col. J. w. Gauld- ing and the present editors father. Adam Clark, the paper obtained a deep-rooted growth in those strenu- ous times of reconstruction, and a foundation upon which it has stood successfully all these forty-nine years.
 Many of our old subscribers re- member we'll the conditions which here existed during that reconstruc- ton period and the tyranny and op- pression to which, as our father after told us in his lifetime, the Southern Standard was subjected; and these old subscribers remember how the paper stood during those expressions as the undaunted champion of the peoples rights.
 We are proud of the early history of the "Oid Reliable,' and we are proud that in the after years the paper has always stood for right and justice-Arkadelphia Southern Stand ard.

The struggle ul. timately resolved itself into one for the control of the food supply, and, as the chief constituent in the food sup ply of the belligerents was potatoes the war itself came to be known in history as the Kartoffelkrieg, or the Potato War"

 SLortly afterward it was sold by Nr. Dunbar 10 George De SUcca SRo ran it for several years and then sold the Alaskan to Jensen & TCwne
 Jensen bought cut his partners iHterss' and continued to publish the Alaskan. with John ". Troy as editor, until 1907 when it vas purchased by its present own CT. Dr. L. s. Keller.
 Witb the exception Of former Governor Swineford's newspaper at ketchikan, the Alaskan was the original exponent of Home Rule for Alaska, and it was through the constant hammering of this news paper for Home Rule that the Wickersham bill resulted and pass ed congress, now being in effect.
 Ike Daily Alaskan has always stood for the best in politics, gov ernuent and civic pride. Numerous other newspapers have been estab- lished in Skagway but the Alaskan was always looked upon as the ex- pouent Of the City's nights and was always recognized officially. During the many years which the Alaskan has published it has made many friends Its policy has done much to bring about a feeling of unity aunpg the business interests and people of Skagway.
 The Daily Alaskan ctrculates throughout the Yukon basin, White horse and Atliu and along the route Of the White Pass. It also has . large circulation in Haines and Ft. Wm. H. Seward. From all nearby points it receives regular corr respondnece and endeavors to coTe- the mining, personal, and civic news of the various communi- ties.
 Wherever Skagway people go the Da ly Alaskan always follows, aud hence We have an exceptionally large circulation throughout the Northwest and Middle states. There is something about Skagway people that always makes them want to come back, Wherever they are con

THE ALASKA STEAMSHIP co,

In 1896, just before the dawn of the great Klondike excitement, Wal ter Oakes, (now dead), Chas. E, Peabody, now one of Seattle's lead Ing capitalists, Capt. Geo. Rob erts, capt. Melville Nichols, Frank E. Burns, and Geo. Lent formed the ALASKA STEAMSHIP CO.,, with headquarters in Seattle.
 While the capital of this small cQterie of men was not of great pro portion the spirit of enterprise was strong and the field promising.
 The first venture of the newly formed company was the purchase and operation of the small steamer WILLIPA which made regular trips to Juneau and Sitka, but when the great Klondyke rush started in the summer of 1897 the ROSALIE was purchased and put in commission and. with capt. John O'Brien as master. proved g popular and pro fitable acquisition: later On the DOLPHIN was purchased in New York and brought around the Horn, the Dirigo and FGrollon were add ed as freighters and the JEFFER- SON was built in Tacoma in 1904 and is still on the regular run.
 In 1908 the holdings of this com pany were taken over by new in telests with much, greater capital and the new ALASKA STEAMSHIP iCO. was organized as it exists to- day.
 With a fleet Of IA vessels, both passenger and freight, of over 30, 1000 gross tonnage and touching at every Alaskan port from Ketchi- kan on the south to the Kuskok- vim river, Nome and St. Michaels on the west and north, it can well be said this great company com plemeLt and service Is manifold and that It's aid in the progress and de- velopment of the country can be counted on.
