John Noon went to the states frol


 Seward. First, last and all of the time he must boost for Seward. Sew ard first and Alaska second. Not vis; versa. Seward is destined to h. "H
 the best little old towns in the Terri tory in the very near future and ii be hooves John Noon to speed up the destiny. He is in the states during q time when it is mighty hard to inter ct any person in things foreign to the presidential election. The average person in the United States today is hundred times more interested in trying to figure out whether there is going to be a change in the adn,inis- tration of the government, than he is that there are wonderful opportunities in Alaska, and being a hundred times more interested it will require hun dred times more persuasion on the part of John Noon if he is successful i'll putting any thing beneficial to Al .ska across. The election of Repub- iican president, which according to all authentic reports received from relia- bic sources seems practically assured, John Noon's task will become both easier and harder to perform EaS- ir:. because certain big interests who belong on the Republican side have i-,tected plans for the expenditure oi enormous sums of money in different s,x .ions of Alaska and harder because a orange in the administration will remove from office in Alaska some real men who have the interests of the Territory at heart. Which ever way the pendelum swings, friend John will De obliged to swing with it, if he is sincerely interested in getting help fer Alaska. He must be non-parti'tar, for it matters not whether the help comes from the Democratic or tho Republican administrations, just so long as it comes and comes soon. He must play no favorites. He must for get politics. He must make friends with all the interests that can in any way help Seward and Alaska. He has the chance, a splendid chance, but he must always remember that he was sent to the states in the interests ot ail of the people who live in the Terri tory and that he must absolutely for get to either boost or knock any one particular individual and that he must absolutely remember that he must boost Alaska and every town in Alas ka. The only lapse in this program that We will be able to forgive is the one where he might boost for Seward a little more than some other town. It will be only natural if he does and unnatural if he does not.
 He has choosen q hard time to get audiences with the powers that b.
 if he proves that he is capable of put ting things across and bringing home the bacon, he will have clearly demon st,ated his ability as a sincere boost CT for Alaska and every unbiased man and women in the territory will be thankful to him. Keep up the good work John, but if you find the sledding 4eo hard and the obstacles too numer- Uus at the present time take a vaca- tion and come home and later on we will send you again to complete what you have successfully started. All We ask of you is to de the best you know how and by so doing We feel that you will have accomplished much. Adver- tising of tho proper and sass kind d. ways paya
