James Mcintosh, Brooks oldtimer' who arrived in Fairbanks last week from a winter in the states, says Alaska looks very good to him after what he saw on the outside. Con- d:tions, he reports, are decidely bad, prices are sky high, the climates he encountered were bad, and the flu epidemic was everywhere he went, from Sattle to Texas. Texas, he says, has worst climate of them all, a condition that is hardly offset by the big money in circulation.

Arthur Smith, former Fairbanks boy, who went out with the first bunch of draftees, now has a res tourant in Burkburnette, in the Texas oil belt, according to a letter, received from him on the last mail. He writes that he is doing we'll, but there is no water in the town fit to serve on the table and the climate is such that "Smithy" wishes he were back. in Alaska.

 The report has been brought to Fairbanks that pay has been struck on Mike Hess creek. Farman & Jones have been prospecting extensively on the creek, and in their last holes have struck paying bedrock. Mike Hess is in the To1ovana district, and a small stampede has been started from Brooks. It has been believed for years that workable paystreak would be lined up on that portion of the creek where it has just been struck, and there have been many in the Livengood camp waiting it. If the find proves as good as expected Mike Hess will prove an impetus to mining activities in that district next summer.

THE SEDAN CONSTANTLY
GAINS IN POPULARITY

The demand for enclosed motor

ever" is the opinion of Mr.. J. H.

OF the sun in hot weather as one goes
about the ordinary duties of business
or answering the calls of social life
and pleasure, is made a prompt and
ever present possibility with the en-
closed car.
Consider the Ford Sedan, seating
five, as first among enclosed motor
cars. Not of course, as an example
OF extravaganza run blind, but as a
modern utility made especially con-
venient and equipped in comfortable
luxury without being wasteful. A

family car, convenient to take the
children to school, calling, parties,
the theatre, shopping or touring it is
most desirable because of it's low
purchase price and small maintenance
cost.
Women are always pleased with
the Ford Sedan because of the sim
plicity and safety of control; it drives
as easy as an electric and is much
more flexible. AS a matter of fact
