WHY MILLIONAIRES
COMMIT SUICIDE


Gold cannot feed the soul
that is, boarded gold cannot.
Gold can buy many things
but what boarded gold cannot
buy is life. The miser hid his
gold in a can in his back yard
A thief discovered him dig
Ring it up to heft it and bury
it again. and that night he got
the gold. placing in its place e
an equal weight of stones.
The miser came. dug up the
can. hefted it, hugged it to his
bosom, buried it again and
went his way. A number of
times he did this, and went as
he came. not happy. but pro-
jecting happiness. Once he
pried of the lid. He took his
own life. He did not commit
suicide because he had
dreamt of what his gold would
buy of travel, culture, endow-
ing of schools and hospitals,
or homes for the aged. He
committed suicide because he
had lost Something like an old
crutch or a NANCY dog.
1t is curious that so many
millionaires commit suicide.
Seventy-nine millionaires ac-
tualIy committed suicide in
1922.
Why1 What was it they
had lost in all their gettings? !?
Had they failed? They evil
IDENTIFY thought so. 1t would
seem they had applied to
themselves the word of Christ
in the parable of the rich far
mer (the millionaire, as it
were, of his time,) Thou
Fooll"
What an opportunity is
wealth! What a source of joy
(such as the world cannot give
in dispensing great accumula-
ti0ns for the benefit of those
who have it not, for education,
for libraries, for art galleri,s S,
endowments for research,
helping poor lads to career,
building hospitals for the lit
tie ones who have no money
and who have come into the
world with some handicap of
body or brain. There are so
many doors open to the rich.
Why then do even million
aires commit suicide? Quite
likly because they are disillu-
stoned; and they have never
learned how to live. Blessed
be such as know the path to
the millionaires heart and can
help him open the windows on
the Wonderful world of oppor-
tunt!3 which he can bless, and
NAt he will live on, long af-
tef ! is dead.

PHOTOGRAPH OF DAM ERECTED AT SITKA IN
 1843 PRESENTED MUSEUM

An enlarged photograph of the re- maining rart of the old log dam erected on Sawmill Creek. near Sitka, In 1S43, and as far as can be learned, the oldest power site on the Pacific Coast, has been presented to the Territorial Museum by Benjamin Lit tell of Sitka. The photograph has arrived here in the care of James Russell. who has placed it in the Store, throughs the courtesy of Jack Hayes. proprietor. where it will be on display a short time before it is taken to the Museum. The photo graph is of good size and clear and is surrounded by frame made from pieces of the logs from the dam.
 The old dam was erected by the Russians to obtain water power to operate a siawmfll which had been constructed at that time and where 30 saws were in operation. It was in use for 10 years and was destroyed in 1853 by the Indians during raid on the Russians. when 90 of the mon women and children of the town were matssacred The old dam is near the site of the present power house on Sawmill Creek.
 Tn a letter to The Empire MT Littell states that from all the in formation which can be obtained from past records, the dam and power site is the first and oldest on the Pacific Coast.
 "It is for this reason I am trying to preserve the memory of the old dam," MT. Littell states, in writing 1f its history q think it great thing to remember these old his torical spots and to thank sometimes of the great hardships our pioneers went through"

STANDARD OIL IS READY TO
 START DRILLING
Awaiting Two Loads Neces- sary Material Held Up at
 Kanatak Account Roads.

The Standard oil Company should start drilling at any time, according to E. c. Grammer, ell man from the Cold Bay oil district, who is in Juneau on business in connection with his claims in the Wide Bay fiedd When Mr Grammer left Kama iak February 26 the engine had been set up and q derrick erected on the Standard Oil Company location, ready and awaiting two loads of equipment to be taken out from Kanatak for tho starting of opera tions.
 The transportation of the equip operations the caterpillars being un- able to travel over the road during this season. They have been laid up at Bachercff Lake for some time, Mir. Grammer said. The weather has not been especially stormy but enough so to prevent the caterpillars running. There has been little snow this winter, probably the most being a fal of six inches. which was on the ground when MT. Grammer left Kanatak. The two trips to the oil field from Kanatak can be made in one day and Mir. Grammar said he expects to hear at any time that the transportation of the equipment ha been successful and the. company has started drilling
 Associated 10 Start
 The Associated Oil had sunk near ly 200 feet when operations were closed about a month ago on ac. count of breaking the dIdM stems and a set of jars, Mr. Grammer said. These parts of the equipment are thought to be aboard the Northwest ern and if the mail boat Starr con meets with that steamer on it's ar rival at Seward, it is probable the company will have the new parts in stalled and recommence operations by the end of this month.
 MT. Grammer said he did not look for either company to make any sort of a strike until the end of the com ing summer. This is on account ot the hard formation of the ground and judging from the progress made by the Associated Oil during the time it was operating
 Building at kanatak
 Considerable building is going on at Kanatak. in anticipation of a strike in the oil field, Mir. Grammei said. Recently 10000 feet of lumber arrived there on the Starr from Sew ard. most of it being shipped from Juneau. The lumber was consigned to several individuals at Kanatal who are using it for the construction of store buildings and dwelling shacks. It is understood a radio re ceiving set is to be installed in tht town, probably next month MT. Gram mer said.
 MT. Grammer expects to be in Ju neau until the Spokane return! South. He will spend some time il Seattle and return North mex month.
