A WORD TO THE WISE

With the holidays drawing near aL hand it would seem fitting time for the wid awake merchant to look oyer his list of holiday commodities ant commence his holiday advertising campaign. Some people are so for tunately constituted that they find no difficulty in selecting the assortment of gifts they intend 10 hestow on rela- tives or friends but to the great ma jority the question of what to get is almost invariably a puzzlinG and some times yexing one. In the absence of suggestions. it is clear that most peo- pie will put off their holiday purchases until the last moment from sheer in ability to think of what they wish [, buy This means q rush for presents within thr las, two or three days and , pei of unnecessary trial to the r"r|'."s@' ,'ar, E E~9 a severe re s,rni" ", on the houses All this can be avoided. the aoantHH md vuilt, of sales can be in creased m" the xine problem O. what to get can b. made q pleasant one for the ',i,chascr if the merchant will adv' '- his line rf holida, wares J. sJreh7as-r the '-H ,rk4blina; aoq,a.a. .ll; ''4eS es"Sie17rtEl".f Mol <.

RED CROSS syuREs SUCCESS IN
 ROLL CALL DRIVE

TEe results uf the third annual Roll
 Nome are not only considerably bet
 ter than anfcipatcd but also sur
 of last year, according to Mr \. E.
 Miller who has been directing the cam
 paign this year assisted by an unusu- ally industrious and energetic aggre-
 gation of committees.
 Mir Miller says the response of the
 Nome public to the effort to secure
 members has been excellent. despite
 the fact that the campaign period oc-
 cured at an unfortunate time owing
 what was practically the middle of
 the designated period Because of the
 rush and press of business at this
 time, inc local officials were not overly sanguine regarding the outlook this
 year and are agrceably surprised as well as pleased a; the excellent results attained As the drive is still op"n
 on special authority until the reports
 from the outlying districts are recriv-
 ed, there is also an excellent pros pect that the present returns will be considerably increased by the close of
 the campaign.
 As far as can be ascertainod at present the local drive has yielded subscriptions amounting to about $500 This is considerably more than was realized during the Christmas Roll Call period last year. The amount collected for subscription at that time was $l9S, making the gain for this year approximately $2oo
 Mr Miller says credit for the splcn- did success of the drive here Is due almost entirely to the excellent work of the ladies committee. the members of which canvassed the city during the past week, The eommittee. composed of the
 Misses GTantham. Barbara Haering, Marion Bachelder. Emily Polet, Carrie Johnson. Helen Moore and Mrs. |T. H. Lehman. worked in pairs and secured many new subscriptions. in addition to renewing the subscriptions of numerous old members.
 In relating the excellent achieve ments of the canvassers. Mir Miller said he voices the sentiment of the executive committee and officers in at tributing the success attained princi- pally to the members of the ladies committee. all of whom labored with the greatest industry and perseverance, and are more than entitled to the praise and thanks the officials gladly extend.

NOME ASSISTING ROOSEVELT
 MEMORIAL MOVEMENT

Under the management and direction of Mir Fred Harrison a campaign is in progress locally aimed at securing contributions to the Theodore Roose- welt Memorial Fund. which will be devoted to establishing fitting me morial to that great American Theo- dore Roosevelt The sum sought for this commendable purpose is $50o0.00 with which 1t is proposed to erect q memorial building at Washington. D. C. and also establish national me- morial park at Oyster Bay. l.. I. In the event of the full sum being se- cured. it is also planned to use por- tion of the fund for the endowment of q university for the teaching of Americanism.
 The movement in this direction was started shortly after Col Roosevelts death and resulted in the establishment of what is known as the Roosevelt Memorial Association" with forme" President Wm Howard Taft and form CT Supreme Court Justice Chas F. Hughes as Honorary Presidents and Henry Cabot Lodge. Jno Mitchell Hi ram w Johnson. John T King as Hon. orary Vice Presidents. Vim Boyace Thompson is the active head of the association and Wm Loeb jravice presi- dent Albert H wiggins is Treasurer and Harry M Blair. Secretary.
 Closely following the announcement of the proposal to raise fund to establish a memorial expressive of the regard in which Col Roosevelt was held by the American people. the movement speedily assumed national aspect and culminated in the organ- ixation of the Memorial Association and a decision to conduct a National campaign between October 20 and 27 to raise the required funds through "frss will', or voluntary offerings
 Owing to the departure of MT c. J. Lomen. who previously had charge of the local campaign. the movement fell into obeyance here until the appoint ment of Nr Harrison to the chairman ship on November 10th. As the cam paign in the States was over by that date the local campaign period was extended unt1 November IS in order to give the citisens of Nome fuii op- portunity to heb in tho movement and

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

News from Juneau told us that in a special message to the legisla- ture, Governor Riggs had suggest sd that the territory go into the transporaton business.
 The suggestion may serve a good purpose. IL may scare the trans portStion companies into giving us a better service in order to silence ina suggestion, and surely that would help some. However, it can not do any harm to look into the matter; for if the present service 1s maintained much longer, some such a course will have to be taken, But wouldn't it be advisable to look into the condition of an air mail service first?

 My startled eyes caught a glimpse of a speck of white emerging from the black shadows-the spectral glimmer of a small sail. The strange craft swept past, so far out that those on board no doubt believed themselves beyond sight from the shore, heading apparently for point of land, which I vaguely remembered as jutting out to the northward.

The Dispatch wonders is Senator Price really takeg his shipping bill seriously. The measure is really laughable if the subject matter were not serious. Although there is hardly chance for the bill to get by ibe senate committee on finance, the legislature should study the transporation matter seriously with view of outlining some plan for cheaper transportation in Alaska.

 him as being very large man, with intensely black, hawkllke eyes and a heavy black beard almost hiding his face"
 Maybe he looked like that when he saw him, but he ain't no bigger man 1 than I am; he won't weigh as much by fifteen pound. Fact is he mighty seldom looks the same, fer thet's part O his game. I've seen him in all sorts O disguises. It's only his eyes he can't hide, an thar's been times when 1 thought they wus the uglieSt eyes ever saw.

Why. that description, strangely enough, fitted almost exactly this fel- low on board, this other Sanchez.
