STEAMSHIPS AND MAIL

There is hardly a steamhip, or large motor vessel, that really likes to land at Petersburg. Unless the tiden are slack, or in the neap stage, it is difficult to dock the big ships The Narrows are good enough as a harbor, but they are shy of sea room. It calls for a deal of backing and filling to safely land and the larger packets would rather drive right on by than to undergo the de- lay and anxiety in working up to the docks. No sailing master, nor does any member of crew, desire to ground ship, and there's pos sibility of this very thing right in front of town during strong tides. So, the steamship companies, look ing to safety first, don't schedule any more of their boats than they can help. Again, at low run outs, tle wharf frontage isn't deep enough to accommodate those ves- sels of heavy draft. ((We under stand that the Citizens Cooperative Dock is now deeper than it has been and can accommodate most if not all the vessels.)
 The panacea for these marine ailments is longer wharf frontage in deeper water and wharf faces more in line with the currents. It takes money to build docks and build docks right, but until this is done the big boats will shy off at every opportunity. To be of real service, the dock frontage should extend unbroken from the oil docks to the cannery. Safe and reachable landing places will halt any and all Alaska steam ships. The Petersburg edition of the Chronicle, whining like a sick baby at things it doesn't understnd, lays the blame on Sutherland for the non-mail carrying schedule of the Alaska Steamship Company's steamship Alameda. The truth lies tin the sailing dates 4 of that vessel. She could have had a mail contract any time she changed her time of departure from that of sailing im- n.ediately following mail steam CT. The boats managers didn't see it to change sailing dates and the
 boat, therefore, carries no mail.

rETERsBURG-sCOW BAY ROAD

The Petersburg-scow edition of the Chronicle libates wonderously and lengthily on the condition of the bit of trail between the town and Scow Bay. It, the trail, is n't overly passable, true enough, but if the edition would know why the trail has had so little money to make it better, let it nose around mite not so many doors from where it runs it's sheet, and it " ill learn. Back of the objection to appropriations for the Peters hurg-Scow Bay road were the com p,aints that the road would benefit ScoW Bay, would tend to build up the town of Petersburg along the road instead of on the muskeg hill at the upper end of twn and would eventually draw business from where it has been-and where it should be located. Is there any neighborly feeling in this re- cuest that no road appropriation be made? Is there consideration shown for those who have built their homes along the road? Not at all. The attitude of the anti-appropria- tion clique is selfish, narrow and ti- mid. We should have road, and good road, clear through to the city property on Blind Slough. There are acres of tillable land that would be tapped by such a highway. It means more business, town would expand and it is not at all unreason- aLle to look forward to beautiful waterfront ity,should Peters
 burg-Blind Slough road go through.

CHARITY FUNDS AND THE ALASKA PACKERS ASSOCIATTOr

We don't doubt at all but what the sum set aside, for the unfortun
 ate sufferers at Rake by the Alaska Packers Association, was from depth of heart and will to help. We would have let it go at that and consider ed it a worthy deed in time of stress. Tn fact we had stickful of stuff typewriter bearing on the do- nation on those lines, but when the ketchikan Chronicle, reeking in po- lica1 effluvium, has to take a fling at the Natives through the gift route, we've something to say. The Alaska Packers Association has made enough out of the toll and sweat and blood, of employee and fisherman in Alaska to make many slch donations We know. We were on the ground floor in the days when Babbler was at Wrangell and Hickman at Loring. We know of stunts pulled off at that, if printed, would make Ida Tarbell's Standard Oil" look like a meek and watery Mother Goose jingle in comparison. Not alone did the Indians suffer; not alone were they cheated, lied to, browbeaten and humilaited. There

Two Road Contracts
Awarded by State

PHOENIX = Contracts awarded
several days ago by the state high
way department for road construc-

counties were signed last Friday
by the Borderland Construction Co.
and Skousen Brothers, according
to w. G. Lefebvre, state engineer
Work under the two contracts will
be started at once, it was stated.
The Greenlee county work in
cludes construction of all neces-
sary drainage structures on II
miles of road on the Safford-Dun-

Taking a Chance

This same woman, however, may
order suit from a mail order
house on the strength of nothing
more than a pretty picture and an
alluring description. She has not
even the opportunity to try it on,
to say nothing of the chance of ex-
amining the fabric, noting the ex-
act shade of the material and in
specting the workmanship. She is
taking chances on the suit fitting
her, on the material being good and
durable, the shade becoming to her
and the workmanship of such a
character that the suit will not fall
to pieces. The woman who takes
such chances cannot be called a
shrewd shopper.
1t might be more easily under
stood why mere man, unaccustom-
ed and averse, as rule, to shop
ping excursions, should fall a vic
tim to the catalogue habit He
might find it easier to order from
the picture in the catalogue than
to go to store and look for the
article that he wanted or he might
take the position that he wouldn't
know what he was getting anyway
if he went to- the store and he
might as we'll take a chance on the
mail order gamble, but why the
woman who knows what she wants
and knows that she is getting what
she wants when she gets it should
buy on the "sight unseen" plan
well, that's another question alto
gether.
WOman's Greatest Opportunity
Women are taking a more and
more prominent part in public af-
fairs all the"time. They are aiding
now in many parts of the country
in running the affairs of state.
Even where they do not have the
ballot they are playing a big part,
individually and through their or
CARNATIONS, in the conduct particu-
larly of local governments, yet in
the one field where they can do
most to help build up their COM
munities they may be overlooking
Jne1r opportunity. With the buying
power in their hands they can do
more for their community by

WOMEN CONTROL
TOWNS DESTINY

It has been said that the hand
that rocks the cradle is the hand
that rules the world and nowhere
is this more literally true than in
the world of trade. The woman is
the purchasing agent of the house
hold and man, as a rule, is very
glad to have her handle the job.
It has been estimated by some
students of the merchandising game
that 80 per cent of all retail buying
is done by women. This may be a
high estimate but a visit to the re-
tail stores of any town or city is
enough to convince one that the
figures are not too high The pre-
pOnderance of women among the
buyers is sufficient, at any rate, to
make not only the retailer but the
manufacturer and the wholesaler
realize that it is the women that
they must please with their mer-
chandise.
Because they do by far the great
er part of the buying in any COM
munity, the women have a respon-
sibility that they do not always ap-
preciate. The women of a town,
through their buying power, can
make or break the merchants of a
town and as a natural consequence
they can make or break the town.
1t is in their power to make it a
prosperous town or dead town.
When the women of town acquire
the mail order habit, the town may
just as well begin making arrange
ments for it's own obsequies.
Hard to Understand
Just why woman, who is a
shopper by instinct and a shrewd
Judge of values in merchandise,
should succumb to the lures of the
mail order house it is difficult to
understand but, unfortunately, some
of them do. No one knows better
than the woman who has had some
experience in the buying of mer-
chandise how difficult it is to dis
tinguish between the genuine and
the imitation even after a close in
spection The good shopper, when
on buying bent, does not always
take the first article that is offered
for inspection. In fact this is the
exception rather than the rule The
merchants know it and expect it
They expect a woman, if she is a
good shopper, to "look around a
little"
If woman should walk into a
retail store and purchase the first
suit that she tried on, for instance
the shock probably would prove
fatal to the storekeeper or the
saleswoman. The chances are that
she will try on a dozen suits and
look at as many more before she
selects one that suits her taste OF
pocketbook, and the storekeepel
not only expects but wishes her tC
do this. He wishes her to be salts.
fled as he knows that a satisfied
customer is the best advertisement
that he can obtain.

Meeting atop the lofty Mt. Lem
mon near Tucson Saturday and
Sunday, II secretaries from the Is
chambers of commerce of Arizona
scored the most successful mid
summer meeting of any time in the
four years which the secretaries
have been getting together for
round table discussions. The state
was represented from the snow
capped city of Flagstaff to the sun
basked border city of Nogales, and
from Yuma to Clifton by east and
west.
The paramount project of the
conference was the appointment Of
a committee of three to draft a bill
for presentation at the next legis-
lature asking the appropriation by
the state of $4,000 for advertising
Arizona and performing other pub
licity work. The committee is H.

gates idea to have the state post
all information as government
signs and prosecute offenders un-
der a charge of mutilating govern
ment property. The proposition is
aimed at thoughtless hunters who
use road signs as targets in prac-
tice and motorists who like to linn
Der up their six shooter" from the
road.
The second measure is an effort
to have the state make it felony
violation to post any advertising
matter or signs along the right Of
way of a road controlled by the
state. This fits into the Valley
Beautiful campaign now in pro-
gress in Maricopa county and which
will probably spread over the en-
tire state.
Those addressing the conference
and their subject, were as follows:
A H Condor, Tucson, "Financ-
ing the Chamber of Commerce.; J..
B. Bristol, Nogales, Sustaining
Membership interest; L. w. Alex
ander, Yuma, Committees That
Work.; Robert Hamilton, Bisbee,
"a Merchants Rating Bureau;
Sam Bale, Chandler, ''The Cham
ber of Commerce in a Small Com
munity"; w. A. Sullivan, of Globe,
Building Community Spirit; A.
H. Gardner, Tombstone, Tourist
Travel as a Community Asset, land
H. B. Watkins, of Phoenix, who
touched on a series of problems
which the average chamber of COM
merce secretary has to solve. He
stressed the Importance of driving
home chamber of commerce work
by getting the cooperation of the
pulpit, press, schools and various
civic organizations. He particular
ly urged that the schools be close
ly informed as chamber of COM
merce work for ''the message the
child carries home is more serious
ly taken than the average person
believes" the speaker declared.
TO Meet In Flagstaff
The conference accepted the invi-
tation of Miss Stewart to stage the
next meeting in Flagstaff at the
time of the dedication of the new
100000 hotel which will probably
be in February. Miss Stewart an
nounced Flagstaff's new slogan
which is 'Flag'em at Flagstaff"
The secretaries voted to observe
the opening Of the anniversary of
the opening of the Coronado Trail
each year with big statewide cell
ebration at Hannigan Meadows,
near Clifton, and which will sound
the opening of the ''See Arizona
First" campaign.
Those attending the conference
which was held at the Mariposa
Summerhaven lodge were:
George B. Doubleday, Douglas;
w. A. Sullivan, Globe; L. w. Alex
ander, Yuma; A. H. Gardner,

Who "Owns"
Union Oil?
The answer is, 10000 people" of whom ndi-
vidual owns than 2 per cent. Probably some of
your friends are "owners"

And most of this stoc';holding by EN-.
ployes is investment ownership, with no
thought of speculation. 1t is ".rainy'
day" saving-capital account stake"
for independence.
1t represents belief in the Company,
confidence and trust in its permanence
and future.
To us, this means deep obligation on
our part--a trust that we must keep.
And in keeping it for those who work
for us we keep it for all others-for our
selves who own our own stock, for our
employees, and for you outside. Because
you own the same stock as we do if you
are on our stockholders list.

think of it as humans an institution
