THE MAIL ORDER INVASION

It wis accnnr'ishel l without banging of drums or cras ing of cymbals: q r1rstling. crinkly- sounding campaign, subtle and in.sid uous. Tiis always is q strategy of the 1nail -or1er catalogue.
 Thus again residents of Ketchikau are asked by eagar ;lnd earnest gen tlemen 'in Chicago to try to evade m inftaxible rKlttrral k,w. The mail or der gen leInen blithely ask residents or this city who are dinectly or indirect ly supported by business invested here, to suppnrt them in Chicago. for which they will not contribute one cent to- fonnss the prop in KetctIikan. In other words. they tr'eak the triangle in the circ,ilation of money, without which no community can survive. The community that passes them money waits in vain for its return.
 The lists of contributions toward a fund destined for the bettcrment of Ak. ska has nevor. so far as mortal man ever learned, borne the name of 2 mail-ortler con'7nn. They are per fectly willing, even clger, to take money out of Alaska, but the'Only in vestnlont they ever make iheia is in their catalogues.

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT
(Flrom Anchorage Times)

\fHum AncHurslse TLmeS)
 The press dispatches bring the happy id!ngs that President Hard ng will visit Alaska during the summer provided governmental business will permit of his leaving Washington
 Tlris is the most important piece of news since the announcement of the first discovery of gold. It means that the aalmln n5str;Ition is fully alive to the needs and potentialities of the great empire of the north and that the work now started will not be allowed either to be curtailed CT lag.
 Like everyone else who comes to southwestern Alaska, President Hard ing will find justification for every en- deavor exerted in behalf of the terri tory, and the visit can but have a tremendous influence upon the present and future.
 There is nothing like first hand knowledge. and this President Harding is determined to have. Unlike the ad- ministra;ion just ended he is timing his visit at the outset of his tenure. which tans that Alaskan ,.u-stions will have ;l sympathetic ear when IreSe n:ed at Washington.
 Between now and the time of the pr. sident's visit it is well to begin pre- para Lcn for his reception. It should be as truly Alaskan as it can be made -smnething different from anything he aias ever seen.
 Here is g. chance to display ths tean-work for which Anchorage holds a reputation. and it can be done by every man who is interested In the future of the gem city of the north to associate himself with the chamber of commerce and become identified with itr, Iabor3..

Dies at Red Cloud
C.. r. Besse, Pioneer of Web

On Porch of Home.

Red Cloud, Neb., July 2S.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)-The body of L. II.
Besse, "a, was found early Sunday
morning in front OF his home in this
city. Death had resulted from a
stroke of apoplexy, according to
physicians.
The body was found by Clair
Pope, one of the proprietors OF To-
cal cafe, as he was going home from
work. He notified the city mar
shall, also summoned medical assist
ance. County Attorney Foe de-
cited that no inquest was necessary.
Mr.. Beese and his stepson had
been living together and both had
retired, but the former evidently had
been taken i'll or sought relief from
the heat by going to the porch.
Colonel Besse, as he was common
ly known here, came to this country
from Maine about 1870 and took d
farm near the present site Of Red
Cloud. A few years later he left
here for time and during his abb
sence married the widow of H. S.
Haley, a prominent lawyer of the
early days. His second wife died
about year ago.
Mr.. Besse served this district as
state senator in 1909, also was for
some time member of the city
council. He had given $4,000
toward construction of the auditor
ium and sales pavilion which bears
his name.

not do is to go to bed with a crouch

The Omaha man has climbed to
the summit of Pixies Peak six diff

over routes said by mountaineers to
be impossible, which is another rec
