When our business people show a disposition to do all they can for the miners; to get behind their efforts to de- velop the country by working for good roads, better and cheaper transportation facil- ities, and, other projects for their assistance, many mutual benefits are certain to accrue. The men who dig in the hills are the sole support and main stay of the community and every business man in the town should be more than ready to put his shoulder to the wheel to assist them in every way possible. When the miners recognize that the townspeople are behind them and take 8 personal interest in their welfare, there is go- ing to, be a different spirit in the community-a spirit of con- fidence and mutual good will.

Once a woman was supposed to marry a man before she kissed him. Now, judging by the stories we see in the daily papers, she is supposed to mar ry him before she shoots him.

In a recent interview in Vic toria, George A. Clothier, we'll known Canadian government engineer, calls attention to two important drawbacks to the progress of mining develop ment in this district. He said:
 Exaggerated statements by prspectors, promoters and bud ding operators are ultimately derogatory to mining, and ex- aggerated prices for properti- ties is the surest way of hold ing on to them. I judge it bet. ter to sell five properties at, say $1O,0OO each than hold one for $50,0OO.,

Just For Fun

People are sure greedy, says Jimmie Lyon. Just as we start to read that poultry and poult- ry products tide over meat shortages that would send prices sky high, along comes some fellow who wants to make the hens lay two eggs a day. The next thing some one will be insisting that the hens put enough grease in the eggs to fry them in.

 William Gray says now that women have a permanent wave, he wonders why some fellow doesn't invent a per- manent shave.
 A Scotchman made a purch- ase at a Jew dry goods store. A day or two later friend |
 happened to ask him if he trad ed at that particular place.
 May, Nay, he replied, "Ay used to, ye ken, but ma more."
 "And why not?" inquired the friend.
 Sandy shook his head solemn ly as he said: "They na be hon. est. I saw a sign in the window yesterday that said one thou sand pins three pennies. An I bought a paper an when I tcounted them there was only 998, an they ma be honest" This is the way one country newspaper editor came back at a carping female critic:
 The woman who doesn't like this paper because it is no good and never gets anything right, should tuck up her un- derskirt. It hangs down and looks sloppy. The editor may not know how to run news paper right, but he knows how to put his clothes on SO his un- derwear won't show.

SAND OIL
COMPANY u in
ANOTHER WELL

The following account taken from
the Colorado Oil News concerning the
spudding in of a well by the Sand
Hills Oil company in the Boulder
section, will prove of interest to the
as is known this will be the first
company:
The second deep test operation
was spudded in in the Boulder field
Monday afternoon, when the Sand
Hills Oil company, started a 22-
inch hole on section 2S-2-70 in the
Haystack mountain district. Several
hundred persons witnessed the cere-
mony of starting the drills in the
deep test. which according to Flem-
ing & Co., of Denver, is set to go
$500 feet II necessary, with the Da-
kotas as the objective. Delay in
starting the hole. which was sched-
uled for Saturday. was occasioned
by several last-minute details neces-
sary before making depth.
The Boulder field has been pro-
ducing for twenty years. but 1t is
the opinion of petroleum engineers
that production has come from seep-
age from other strata not yet pene-
trated. The operations of the Ohio
company on section 28-2-70 and the
Sand Hills company are for the pur-
pose of locating the big production
and it is the general opinion among
oil men that these tests will result
in production on a much larger scale
than previously encountered.
Certain it is that il oil in consid-
cradle quantity is found in the field
its center and most prolific point
must be within a few miles of Boul-
der where existence of oil has been
manifest for years and where the
geological examination has conferred
for a decade.
The Boulder situation is such as to
make the further discoveries antici-
pated Immediately productive. The
district is close in to railroads and
markets. while the Denver & Inter-
urban railroad offers hourly ~interur-
ban connections with Denver. A
small refinery stands ready for i'm
mediate operation and a full-fledged
oil industry will come overnight with
the discovery of a big producer.

The American Legion Auxiliary
makes but n annual appeal to the
public for financial contributions. 1t
is not a selfish request. This year
1t is a campaign in behalf of those
who cannot ask for aid, and would
not If they could-the orphans of
war. These unhappy but uncom-
planning victims are inarticulate.
The public engaged in its own busy
affairs are inclined to forget its debt
to them. The American Legion has
pledged itself to make the nation
remember that these fatherless chill
debt of every individual American
that can never be paid in full.
This year The American Legion
Auxiliary recalls that debt to the
public. 1t asks in payment more
than eulogy and oratory. 1t asks
cash money to are for and educate
the fast growing army of a or
phans. The method decided on for
the collection of this money is
through the sale of poppies. The
poppy is the official flower of the
Legion, the emblem Of a faith that
is being kept.
1t is appropriate that this cam
paign should take place during the
week preceding Memorial Day. The
poppy should be as much a season
able reminder of the public obliga-
ties of the Salvation Army are at

for promoting the sale of poppies.-

MUCH WHISKEY IN
 I'LL '0L SKACWAY

SKAGWAY, Oct 3.-Two thousand cases of pure, unadulterated liquor arrived in this city this week.!
 Assorted whiskey, gin, brandy, wine and good old rum lay in the bonded warehouses here, and yet, no seizure was made. The shipment came north in the hold of the Princess Alice and will be taken from here to Yukon ter ritory to be used for "medicinar' pur- poses The dock was crowded with spectators when the shipment was be- ing unloaded, all trying to get at least whiff of the treasure cargo. Many sighs were heard, but as "Skaguay" means the home of the north wind. the gentle zephyrs blowing down the famed White pass might have been responsible for stentorian noises.
 The liquor was valued at $100,000.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT
 TANANA DOES $75,OOO
 DAMAGE; HIGH WINDS
FIRE STARTED IN GRAND HOTEL AND BURNED UP HALF OF
 TOWN-NOTHING SAVED

FAIRBANKS, Sept. 26-(By MaiD A destructive fire, which started in the kitchen, upstairs, of the Grand hotel at Panama Wednesday wiped out half of the town, including the Tanana Commercial Company, Chinese res taurant, the Rodman building and two cabins A strong wind was blowing down the river at the time the blaze started, which prevented saving any thing from the buildings destroyed.
 Everybody in the town of Panama and old Fort Gibbon turned out to render assistance and help fight the fire.
 The loss to the Panama Commercial Company, Vachon Bros., amounted to $45,000. The total loss is estimated at $75,000. Vachon Bros. also have a large commercial store in Fairbanks, the business of which is conducted by one of the Vachon brothers, the other brother being in charge of the Tana- na business.

STEAMSHIP SANTA ANA
 IN PORT S0UTHBOUND

The steamship Santa Ana arrived in port last night from Bethel and Kuskokwim river ports. After taking on oil and water, the Santa Ana pro- ceeded south for Seattle. The best of weather was encountered by the vessel after leaving Bethel. Stops were made at Sand Point and Unga where a load of codfish was taken aboard Owing to the cold storage plant belonging to the company ship ping the meat being sunk in the riv- CT, about 1900 deer only were brought out on the Santa Ana.
 Her passengers were as follows:
 Capt L. w. Warbridge, president and general manager of the New York and Alaska Gold Dredging Co., with holdings on Bear Creek, en route to Juneau.
 Chalmer Hans, of Oakland, who has been visiting his uncle, John Fielder at Bethel the past summer.

SELDOVIA SALTERY ENDANGERED BY FIRE

The plant of the M. & M. Packing company at Seldovia was in danger of total destruction during the blaze which destroyed the four-story hotel, used by the company as quarters for it's women employees, the mess house and the office building. Only the loyal and heroic efforts of the towns people and employees saved the main saltery buildings and the mems bunk houses, according to R. E. McIver, manager of the company, who is in Seward purchasing lumber to immed- lately replace the burned builings.
 "The fire was first discovered al- most immediately after the crew had gone to supper and was in a room on the third floor. The fire spread so rapidly it was impossible to save any thing and most of the girls belong ings," said MT. McIver.
 "The fire, altho inconveniencing us to great extent" said McIver, Twill not stop us packing for even a day We will immediately rebuild. We wish to express our sincere apprecia- tion to all those who so generously assisted us and offered us aid during and immediately following the fire. It is to the loyalty of our crew and the assistance given them by the people of Seldovia in fighting the fire that we were able to save the main buildings. Particularly we want to thank Captain Hvatum and the crew of the schooner Scandia but there are so many others we ask the Gateway to express our thanks to all"
 The loss is estimated between $15,- 900 and s20,OOO
