WE GIVE you WELCOME
BY Rene Albourne De Fender.

In the broad confines of our Inland Empire
Each womans heart sends greetings unto you,
When we would tell the measure of our welcome
Our words all too feeble and too few.
Would might take our thoughts like fragrant
flowers
And make of them exquisite bouquet
A gift more worthy of your royal presence
Than are the fatering words lips say.
In their sweet language might hope to tell you
How much this day to us shall ever mean
And would thank that distant, gracious country
That spared to awhile its well-loved Queen
And every golden gift of joy and gladness
We wish for you while in midst you stay
And pray that God shall give you safe returning
To your own land, when you must go away.

Yeah! You folks are all set 10 bounce on our unprotected person in the event that We say that last nights conditions Were bad. WcIh W1N say it, just for spite, They were terrible NoW Wv'U tell you truth fully that last nights reception was worth the price Of admission alone. In spite of a sprinklinE of static which became rather heavy as the 1ials were turned toward the low waves and as the clock advanced 10 the mystic hour Of midnight, when witches and night hawks are ailoat and uitcld, the evening could not have been improved upon. An un- usual clarity and a distinctly un- usual show of volume and power on each and every station, took ns off our fc,t with surprise. There was NO INTERFERENCE o' any kind, the background being just as smooth as billiard ball.

RAILROAD AND MANAGER
 FINED S5,OO0 EACH FOR
 FRAUDULENT STOCK SALES

NEW YORK.-By the Alaska An thracite Railroad Company, Charles ] B. Davis, general manager, entered plea of guilty for both on indictments returned recently charging him with selling securities at less than the mar ket price authorized by the Interstate ( Commerce Commission.
 The action is hailed in United States Attorney Buekner's office as marking a new era in safeguarding investors in railroad securities" A { comparatively new section of the h. terstate Commerce Act is designed to protect the ultimate buyers from knockdown agreements between finan- ciers and and corporation executives. The regulation provides that securi- ties sold by interstate carriers shall be originally disposed of at not less than the zero prices based upon their ex- pressed par value.
 In this case the bonds of the Alaska Anthracite Railroad, whose holdings in Alaska were sold at auction in Cor dova recently. were authorized to be sold on a basis of 90 per cent, but were knocked down at TT 1-2 per | cent basis

The home at Sitka is unable to meet the requirements of the situation, and something will have to be done to provide additional quarters for those seeking Territorial aid. Either the Sitka instsl7a 1ill have to be en- larged q eaca home established else1. .hsr a locality more easily reach 59 a. Third, Second and Fourtl. l1e.a dI7isions. Through the gener szu1l citizens, the Pio- neers aio .5 offer the Territory a most ateraet.ve site for theetion of q branch home--a site sufficiently large for additional units as they are needed and for gardens in which to grow all of the produce required by such an in stitution.
 Those oldtimers who have expended their energies in striving to develop Alaska and who find themselves, in their declining years, without finances and enfeebled by years of toll and pri- vation, are entitled to the best the Territory can give them in the way of a home, and it should be located where climatic conditions are most favorable, where it is accessible, and where there are opportunities for recreation. An chorage possesses all of these sdvsnT tages-it is, in fact, the ideal location. But it will require action on the part. of the whole community to secure leg isIative approval of the plan snich has been suggested by the Pioneers, and the movement must be launched without loss of time if results are to be obtained during the coming session of the legislature.
