MAY RECOGNIZE HIS WORTH.

Tn the death of w. F. Thompson, Fairbanks suffered the loss of one of it's most consistent and fervent boos- ters. MT. Thompson wielded virile pen and many of his writings struck closely home, but his general aim was the betterment of the town and community. He was intolerant of sham and hypocrisy and many were the denunciations hurled at him for forsaking the easier highways of jour- nalism to tread the rough paths of criticism. But one of the outstanding figures of the North has passed and his passing is mourned by those who best understood him. His vigorous, healthy style of writing was learned in the old school, and he never for sock his teachings. As time goes on our Northern neighbor will come more and more to remember his teachings and to give him the credit due life time of endeavor with but little mon etary reward.

port their papers better or they could not print better paper.

port their papers better or they could not print better paper.
 Every dollar sent away from home hurts the paper equally as bad as it does the merchant. Every advertiser who patronizes the paper "just to help it along" is really helping to break it unless they are behind it heart and soul because they are convinced it is a good paper, forgetting that a paper needs friends and well-wishers as bad ly as it needs money.
 With a general apathetic condition existing in town it is impossible for any chamber of commerce or any pa per to build it up to point of solvency. Without the support of united cham Der and of a newspaper even united citizenry cannot accomplish anything.
 No one town in Alaska can point to another town and accuse it of ex- cessive turpitude in the conduct of it's affairs, as all are tarred with the same stick. There is a lack of CO hesiveness that is appalling; a gen. eral slackening of the civil body which allows the canker of jealousy and strife to obtain a foothold. And this damned spot will not out, but con- stantly grows, nourished by pickering and unfair dealings until it spreads from one limit of the city to the other destroying all upon whom it fastens
 If you would see your town grow, as any western town should grow there must be united action and a good front First, join your chambers of commerce, then help your paper by giving it every dollar in trade you can throw it's way.

BUILDING UP A TOWN.

While we have seen many eulogles directed at chambers Of commerce or the Territory for work done in build- ing their communities, how often have YOU ever seen praise bestowed where it really belongs on the daily or weekly paper, which plugs day after dav for the community in which it lives. without hope or monetary re- ward and without the applause and interest bestowed upon the chambers, which meet and resolve and meet and resolve again, only to start some new idea without thought of complet- ing the work in hand.
 When one considers it the triumph of town building really belongs to the newspaper, without which publicity the work of the chambers would fall flat and be of little material benefit.
 Few newspapers have the united support of the community in which they are published. Especially is this true in Alaska The merchant who would throw up his hands and yell in horror at a customer sending out side for his goods, think nothing of giving his printing to the first plaus- ible salesman who happens in, and who can show that the work can be secured cheaper in the States; few citizens are agreed upon the policies of a paper, and few there are who do not look longingly to the splendid paper" published in neighboring towns forgetting that those towns must SUD-
