IT IS FALL.

It has been a wonderfully fine summer with more than usual opportunities for out door activities, because of the unbroken sunshine which con tinued for so long. But it will be fine to have the fall rains, too, and later the nip of frost and the sheen of snow. Just as one or the Tine things about going way from home is to come back there, so one of the fine things about summer is that finally we come to it's end and to normal change.

THE GREAT STOREHOUSE.

Nothing has happened for many a day for which Alaska may be so truly thankful as the trip through the territory just completed by Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio, chair man of the senate committee on territories, says the we'll known Alaska Weekly.
 Senator Willis would stand out anywhere but we cannot but think of what an Alaskan he would have made had the call of the old North reached him quarter of a century ago. He is the type of man Alaskans know and who has the vision and understanding to know Alaska.
 In an interview appearing in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Senator Willis voiced his inn pressions of Alaska in the fol- lowing manner:
 Alaska is not a totem pole" he declared indignantly. "Nei- ther is it dog team, nor a glacier. Alaska is the great est untouched storehouse the American people have today. Millions upon millions. of tons of coal, billions in lumber, un- told mineral resources that have scarce been scratched, oil and fish and furs, and above all else, her fertile val

TWO SIDES.

There are two sides to every question. This is just as true in advertising as in an argu- ment. In advertising there is the side of the advertiser and the side of the public.
 From the viewpoint of the advertiser in the newspaper, advertising is a means of in- creasing his volume of busi- ness. Commercial development has made advertising as neces- sary to retail business as GUS toners. Without customers the advertiser could not remain in business, so he advertises to attract customers.
 The other side of the quest ion is that of the public. To the public newspaper adver- Using means the bringing of the store show cases to the of flee and living room. It is a service extended to the public by the advertiser, because it aids the customer in ascertain ing where that which is want ed can be purchased at the most advantageous price. Newspaper advertising has abolished shop-searching. To save time for the shopper lengthens his day.
 So although there are two sides to newspaper advertising, there is no disagreement be- tween the two. Finding that advertising serves the public as well as business the mer- chant has two reasons instead of one for advertising, and the customer learns that the most progressive merchants are the most extensive advertisers, so there is a double attraction. By the nature of business, if ad- vertising didn't help the buy ing public it could not help the advertiser.

 'She must tap and utilize her industrial possibilities. have heard that Alaska's gold is gone. There was never a great CT falsehood. The easy gold is getting scarce, perhaps, but the real yellow treasure is still there waiting science and skill to wrest it from the mountains. Her coal deposits are almost unbelievable, her timber limit less. Her fish, if properly con- served, a fortune in itself.
 But it is in her agricultural lands that she is finally and indisputably richest. I saw wheat grow thirty bushels to the acre. Hay, potatoes, ber- ries and fruit, the finest and best favored 1 have tasted anywhere. And thousands up- on thousands of acres waiting for the blow. I tell you the rest of us, and Alaska herself, must wake up to the real val ue of that territory"
 Alaska's first great need is roads, the senator declared. Not paved boulevards for motor traffic, but work-day roads that will open up her vast hinterland. Wagon roads for the farmers, trails for the prospectors. That is the first thing I shall urge congress to help her do-build roads"
 It is such men as Senator Will lis who help to restore our faith in official Washington after the severe shaking up it occasioally receives at the hands of such gentlemen as Congressman Free. It requires  a true pioneer spirit to visual ize the Alaska of tomorrow men of lesser breeds may not be expected to see it. As chair man of the senate committee on territories Senator Willis may be relied upon to back every constructive move to- ward the realization of the great industrial and agricult- ural empire which so surely will be built from the tremen- dous natural resources of Alas ka.

Monday was set apart as Road Day on
the cemetery road, leading from the
public road to the town cemetery.
This road has been in very bad con-
dition for long time, being so bad
at times that it was almost impossible
for vehicles to get through. The use
of four teams for hauling rock were
given, besides a number of men as
sisting with the work of breaking. A
great amount of work was done. This,
with the work being done by the Town
Council, will almost pike the road the
entire length. 1t is expected that the
use of the county roller can be secured
to firmly imbed the broken stones.
Further help and funds could be used,
as covering will have to be put on,
bitches and culverts attended to ans
other work to properly complete the
job. Any one interested and desir-
GUS of having part in this work may
send their donations to Mayor A. c.
Stanton, who will see that they are
expended in the proper manner.
