THE MAGICIAN.
(Collier's.) ]

One of the fine satisfactions of life is the recollection of great artist in his prime It makes little difference whether the performer was statesman or an actor, military hero or singer. In the days of our childhood the old people kindled anew the joy of living with the memory of public performances of which they had been lucky witnesses. With the one it may have been Daniel Webster at Bunker Hill with another Jenny lind at Castle Garden, Paganini playing in Paris before Heine and Beroz, or that genius for king acting. the Prince of Wales, at Bre- voort House. But the people who are for tunate enough to see and hear the President this summer will have a reminiscence to store away that will be worth more than wealth to sooth their closing days. For MT. Wilson is at once the foremost statesman of the world and its greatest artist We know ot no more enjoyable treat than to hear him at any tire But now he comes to us at the very

A PANAMA VALLEY FAIR

Some time next month a congressional committee is going to visit Fairbanks and the Interior. Its members are going to want to see something besides a string Ot steel lad over CrOSsties They will want to know what this country has to offer such string of steel.
 They have been told many times about the mineral resources of this country and the pos abilities the future contains for an agrCultur- al industry in the Tanana Valley region When they get on the ground they will want to see what we have to back up these assertions we have been making,
 It is a duty we owe to both ourselves and to them to show them.
 The time of their coming is singuIarly suitable for the showing process. Our har- vests will be ready to reap And they are going to be excellent.
 It is, of course feasible to take these men for trips over the district and give them a glimpse of what is being done. But when they have finished the sightseeing they will still not be able to visualize the real produc- ton of the country, whether it be mineral or agricultural.
 Up until a year or so ago 1t was the GUS tom for Fairbanks to have a fair during the fall and gather together the many products of IIC lIllCl IOI uIluCI OC lOOI SO llldl C\ Sl OlIN could see just what was being done and what the country had to offer That the custom was ever discontinued has always been re- grctted by many people of this district.
 This year is good time to renew it. A combination of the mineral, agricultural dairy and other products of the Interior would make display of which any section of America could we'll be proud, It would reveal the l1-, do. It would show the possibilities of Interior Alaska to strangers eyes better than all the talking or writing we have done or will ever be able to accomplish.
 The agencies are at hand with which to insure the success of such fair. The Alaska Chapter of the American Mining Congress with its membership in practically every camp i'll the district, can easily arrange for min eral display that will surprise even those fla mllar with the mineral resources of the COun- try. And this can be done at minimum cost The Panama Valley Agricultural Asso- citation can look out for the agricultural pro- ducts. These two bodies with the co-opera- ton and assistance of the Fairbanks Commer- clal Club, and any other organizations which care to join, and everyone should do so should get busy at once on the matter and carry Il tlru to a SuCCeSS1ul end.
 Such an exhibition is not intended for boost for the town of Fairbanks, except in solar as it is interested as an integral part of the Panama Valley. It is to directly bene fit the whole of the Panama valley region. And it is to the interest of both townspeople and those in the outlying sections to work to- gether for the good of the whole district
 We know that this district is an asset and not liability to the country. The time has come and the opportunity will soon pre- sent itself to convince others of this fact

that this particular firm makes 1t a
