That looking up to Heaven

As for me, I think that this child

"Thanksgivin' always comes along"
Said Hezekiah Bings.
Although we're tellin' what is wrong
About a lot O. things.
We say the situations grave,
With morals very queer;
This old world simply won't behave
We say it every year.
1--WE hear a speaker, wise indeed.
In thoughts we are immersed.
We turn another one to heed
Who contradicts the first.
But discord's bound to leave the song
A nation boldly sings.
Thanksgivin' always comes along"

W. T. LOPP RECEIVES GIFT
 FROM CHIEF CHRISTIAN

A handsome sled pack, the gift of Chief Christiansen of the Porcupine district which lies north of Fort Yu- kon, between the Yukon river and the Arctic, was received in Anchor age the first of the week by William T. Lopp, superintendent of the Alas ka division of the Bureau of Educa. tion. The gift is a beautiful piece of native bead work and must have taken months to prepare. The pack is made from tanned moose skin, covered profusely with heavy Hud- sons Bay beads in designs worked in patterns which greatly resemble the Egyptian. A fringe of brightly col ored porcupine quills set the magnif- icent gift off in admirable fashion.
 Chief Christiansen has long beer personal friend of MT. Lopp. The chief for many years past has been sending furs from Alaska to MT. Lopp at the Seattle office to be dis posed of, among which have been some beautiful specimens.-Anchor age Alaskan.

NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM
 REGARDED AS A NECESSITY

The new telephone system which was installed the first of the month instead of being considered an inno- vation and luxury was straightway accepted as a necessity to the major ity of citizens here. New subscrib- CTS have been added so rapidly that another directory is being issued. The service is very satisfactory though Manager J. K. Nevill an- nounces that he cannot give the best service possible unless persons ring off when through talking. The log ical one to ring off is the one who called the number, but the benefit to Central is just the same if the one called rings off. A short visit to the central office will demonstrate why the ringing off is so necessary for quick service and the visitor will come away resolving that he, for one, will not again neglect that nec- essary procedure.

Map of Alaska in Relief

The Wrangell Commercial Club has received a complimentary copy of Map of Alaska in Relief" (Map D, just issued by the Government. The shading on this map, which is the work of John H. Renshawe, who
 has had the help and criticism of ev- cry Alaska geologist and topograph- ic engineer, is the result of an at- tempt to accurately represent the
 form of the land. As less than half of Alaska has been surveyed, howev- CT, much of the shading has necessa- |rily been very much generalized. This map isbelieved toshow accurate ly the salient photographic features |of Alaska, though future surveys will no doubt necessitate minor cor Irections.
 Many geographic names that were given on Alaska Map E (1923),
 which is on the same scale and Is
 sold for 25 cents, have been omitted
 from this map because they would interfere with the shading. The
 older map. which does not show the
 form of the land. will, on account of
 the greater distinctness it gives to
 the names of minor places and other
 man-made features, probably best
 serve those who desire a map for general commercial use, but the new
 map will best serve those who desire
 a general picture of tn surface of the
 country.
 This new relief map may be pur-
 chased from the Director of the Geo.
 logical Survey at Washington D. G..

ORGANIZE BRYAN
CLUB AT BIGGERS

Biggers. March A William Jen-
nings Bryan Club is being organized
here and is making good headway in
the following manner. Each indivi-
dual who wants to become a member
signs the following agreement
we, the undersigned legal voters
of Biggers vicinity, take this method
of organizing ourselves into a club,
known as the William Jennings Bryan
Club, with the object of expressing, our
confidence in the unsullied integrity
and the ability of the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan to carry the Demo
cratic Party to victory i'm the coming
Democratic National Convention.
"Since there is so much fraud being
uncovered that has been perpetrated
by our political enemies, the Republi-
can Party in power, we believe this to
be the psychological time to put forth
man whose private and public life
has never been impugned by any party,
and that man is none other than the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan.
Therefore, we pledge him our nm
divided support in procuring his nom
ination. and if nominated his election
to the presidency of this L. $. Of Amer
lea"
The above form is being used for
the reason that the time is too short
to call meetings to organize Clubs, as
Ex-Governor DOnaghey has made a
call for a meeting to feel the political
pulse Mt Little Rock on the 9th of this
month. We shall strive to make the
best showing possible, and as quickly
as possible The above is our method,
of course, every community is at IL
berty to proceed as they think best.
It is evident that we ought to get
busy at once.
