VALUE OF A NAME

Whats fn a name? The ans wer for generations back has been nothing True a rose by any other name would smell as sweet but try to sell it under a different name if you would better estimate the value of name.
 The name of Alexander. Hanni- bal. Caesar and Napolean evacuated walled cities. turned whole armies into disastrous retreat, and con- quered empires. Those names ob- tained their magic from the deeds of their owners.
 Because his name might have been Smith would not have pre- vented Shakespeare from writing his classic tragedies and in spite of their common names George Washington and Abraham Lincoln won immortal fame. Genius is as accidental as its name.
 And yet American manufactures spend millions annually on names. For the purpose of establishing a trade name business enterprises conduct nationwide and even wor- Id wide advertising campa 'ens. To many manufacturers the name of their product is their fortune. a fortune which would not be am sssed without the aid If advert:s- ing

 A tr'fling saving here and there usually more imaginary than reat. is sufficient to cause the average citizen to forget his duty to his community and to himself. which if performed would mean more in the direction of local prosperity than all his other boosting eff.rts put together.

COMMUNITY SUICIDE


 One of the strangest phenomena witnessed in most towns and small cit'es Is the apparent asgerness with which many otherwise good citizens contribute to the tendency to commit community suicide.
 These citizens will often show uncommon zeal in boosting any movement to obtain civic improve ments. to promote the location of new industries. to secure better educational facilities. and so on. Yet many of these same proud boosters will deliberately engage in a practice which nullifies all their otherwise laudable efforts and then they wonder why their town doesn't go ahead.

MONIES OUTLOOK BRIGHT

Conditions in the mining indus try throughout the Seward Penin- sula are at present more promising than they have been for several year past. The future of Nome and surrounding mining camps holds great promise. Capital has in the immediate past been divert ed into channels other than min- ing. with the result that a reaction has taken place and the idle mon- .ey is again looking for safe and profitable investment in sound mining projects.
 Alaska, in view of the millions invested recently by the conser- vative kings of finance. is attract ing favorable attention by heavy investors in all parts of the world. With her record of past produc- tion and hattering outlook for the future, the time is suspicious for procuring money to tap the hfd- den treasure vaults in the hills and creeks which have already spread the fame of Alaska through out the civilized world. but which will with time outdo all past achievements.
 Twenty nine years have passed since one of the most important placer gold discoveries in the an- nals of gold mining was made in the Nome district. During this his- tory making period. with it's vast waste of energy and ill-advised ex- penditures of money. hard exper- fence has evolved the practical knowledge. which when intelligent ly applied. goes far in coping with the situation attendant upon the climatic drawbacks and has esta- blished the mining industry of the Northland on a sound and profit able basis.
 With a wet season such as we are now experiencing and every miner employed, in both large and small outfits. bumper gold out put is looked forward to.
