WANTED PAY ALASKA 4 VISIT SAYS
 CALIFORNIAN VISITOR

When was young man the Klondike boom was under way and Il wanted very much to come myself, for many of my friends left, but due to- the fact was enjoying good business in San Francisco, could not do so But have always had keen interest in the development Of Alaska" stated H. H. North, prominent San Francisco attorney who was among the guests at yesterdays luncheon of the Seward Chamber of Commerce.
 My business here at this time is In connection with the sealing cases, of the early 'Sos and sos. and having handled these cases for so many years past, I have made the acquaintance of many of your oldtimdrs preceding your gold rushers.
 "My Westward trip has been most gratifying. The size of Alaska is rather awe Inspiring. Alaska seems to be in waiting position. To the stranger who sees the vastness of the country, there must be tremendous potential wealth concealed in Alaska mountains and rivers. The present impression of Alaska is sad; the Ter rstory does not seem to be moving as it should.
 with the vast amount of natural forage going to waste, especially to| the Westward, it would seem that cat le-raisinng would be an ideal industry for this district. The fisheries under proper regulation should last forever My trip here has been a source of much satisfaction and I am mighty glad to have been in Alaska"
 MT. North who arrived Monday on the coast guard citter Unalga from Unalaska, departs Sunday for his of flee in San Francisco.

White said. "Poor Henry can look
after the four older ones-they are
big enough to help themselves, but the
twins will have to go somewhere.
They are only FIVE" She looked
meaningly at Louise and waited.
Louise pressed her fingers to her
lips and pondered. She knew what
was in her friends mind.
IF they were two boys" she said.
She lifted her eyes to her sons por-
trait. "And yeti don't know that
I could bear to see boy In Roberts

Julia Lennox says she will take

Louise gave a gasp.
"If Julia Lennox, poor as she Is and
with that crooked back, and Mrs.
Couch with seven In the family al
ready can do a thing of that kind, I
can too," she said. "Tll take both Of
them. And I'll do the best I can by
Them"
Tears came to Mrs. Whites eyes.
She pressed Louise's hand. 1t was
going to be a comfort to know that
the pathetic twin girls were well pro-
vided for. Mrs. White was too old to
feel like bringing up child herself,
but she had undertaken to find homes
for the twins.
"It's nice that they won't be sep
arated," she said. "They love each

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY
SEEKS A new SLOGAN
M0nOngahela West Penn Com
pany Announces OmpetitiOn
Open to All Residents

Announcement was made the first
Of the year by the Monongahela West
Penn Public Service Company, which
furnishes public utility services to
communities throughout Northern
West Virginia, that it has decided to
offer prize for the best slogan for
company use submitted before March
81 next The contest is expected to
occasion widespread interest because
of the many communities in which the
company operates.
AS outlined by officials of the COM
pany the slogan adopted should ex-
press as nearly as possible the CON-
pany's interest in it's customers and
company's desire and ability to render
friendly and adequate public service.
The slogan which has been used in
the past, 1--WE Value Your Friendship
AS We Do Your Patronage, it is felt,
does not completely express the atti-
tude of the company and it's officials,
and it is because of this that the COM
petition has been started for new
slogan. 1t is felt, too, that the new
slogan should be shorter and more to
the point
Aside from barring company en-
ployes in the competition, the COM
pany has placed no restrictions on the
contest, except that it is limited to per-
sons living in counties where the COM
pany renders some utility service.
Anyone may submit as many slogans
as desired but each should be on a sep
arate piece Of paper, with the authors
name. Slogans should be sent to the
company's general office at Fairmont

The coolest wave of the winter
swept over this section at the begin
ming of the new year when the mer-
curry went doyn to point fifteen de-
grees below zero. The intense cold
was accompanied by a driving north
west wind, which made existence I'M
comfortable for those who were oblig-
ed to be abroad.
During the afternoon of last Satur-
day, the last day of the old year, this
community witnessed the unusual
phenomenon of midwinter electric
storm. The lightning was very vivid
and the thunder as pronounced as in
summer storm. Immediately follow
ing this storm the mercury began to
fall rapidly and by Sunday morning
the zero point had been passed.

Not Likely That City
viii Euer Be Rebuilt

In Asia are the sites of many an
cient, flourishing cities which now ''the
cormorant and bittern possess, and
where the owl and the raven dwell"
We naturally look in that direction
for hoary ruins.
But the New world, too, can show
ruins-ruins which were not left by
vanished native populations, but which
were made only short quarter of
century ago. These ruins were quick
ly made by a fearful eruption of Mt.
Pelee near which nestled the thriving
town Of st. Pierre on the little island
Of Martinique, one of the Lesser An
titles. st. Pierre was rich and gay,
''the naughtiest city in the West In
dies" 1t possessed the only tram
cars in that part of the world. There
were fine homes, clubs and amuse-
ment places
In a few short hours the lives of
10000 people were snuffed out as
death was belched from the grim vol
cano, and st. Pierre joined the cate
CORY of towns that were.
This happened in 1902. Today the
place is still covered with dust and
ashes. Cows wander through the
broken doorways that formerly gave
entrance to splendid mansions. Moss
and vines cover the broken and tum-
bled walls. Banana plants are grow
ing where the children used to gather
in the pleasant patios. Mt. Pelee
stands quietly in the background look
ing as innocent and sleepy as a pile
of rocks and dirt.
Much Of the debris Of 1902 has been
cleared away and native shacks have
risen along some of the old streets.
In some places the corners of ruins
are inhabited. But there are no signs
that st. Pierre will ever be itself
again.-Pathfinde Magazine.

A Detroiter, self-styled student of

Of the behavior of street car riders

II have watched people on their way

ever chuckle over the figured witt

they read the 'funnies,' the last pic

"The Moles, as you know, build
mounds and they have tunnels for
roadways to their nests and also other
tunnels which they use for hunting.
AT night the Moles come to the
surface and look for food. Sometimes
they have long tunnel under a fence,
