Helpful Publicity.
{ Alaska Weekly.)


 We are just in receipt of a book on Alaska it's scenic features, geography, history and gov ernment, from the pen of Lester D. Henderson and produced in the plant of the Daily Alaska Empire which is from every standpoint, a credit both to it's author and to the organization respon- sible for the exceptionally high-class tyopography and general mechanical perfection of the book itself
 Throughout the enc hundred and twelve pages of the book it is crowded with authentic infor- nation interestingly presented and appropriately and profusey illustrated Nothing has been sighted from the size and climate of the country to it's system of government
 In his foreword MT. Henderson outlines his objective in the preparation and publication of the book as follows "To the reader who will fol- low us through the succeeding pages we hope to show Alaska in it's true light-as an inhabited and habtable land, rich in resources replete with natural attractions, and abounding in opportun- ity; with homes and fresides schools churches and all things necessary to full and complete life"
 That is exactly what we have been attempting through the pages of The Alaska Weekly and our annual Alaska Year Book for some years past During his many years of service to the Territory as Commissioner of Education MT Hen derson has visited every part of the Territory and has studied conditions with the eve of the trained observer and analystA His book will serve to dlspel some of the cloud of misunderstanding g which has obscured the true Alaska If should have wide distribution

GOOD AUTHORITY ENDORSES
 FISHERIES BUREAU.

The Ketchikan Chorncle quotes William Tim son, head of the Alaska Packers Association as credting the rigorous regulations of the Bureau of Fisheries for the big salmon in the Bristol Bay country this year. Mr. Timson is competent authority if there is competent authority. No has followed the salmon canning game with closer application or greater intelligence than he has and one is more likely to express his fortnight conclusions.
 While have felt, and still believe, that it is probably too soon to determine whether the regulations of the Fisheries Bureau are helping the situation, free to admit that there would be a lot of comfortable assurance in the premises if it could be proved that the question of the permanent supply of salmon had been solved

Getting the Lowest Bids.
Wisconsin Press Association Bulletin) )

Wisconsin Press Association Buletn)
 Chasing round for the cheapest printing bid is the refuge of the poor buyer. To him good it or not. Choppng dollars off the price is sim pie cutting the quality value of the printing bought. Buying indifferent product at low price is not competent buying. The competent buyer gets what he needs-the best for his pur- pose-at commensurate price.
 Buying by the owest-bid system hurts the buyer much as if not than the printer. Because it strikes directly at merit, it invites poor quality. After al the buyer only gets what he pays for. What doth 1t profit to save few dollars and knock the quality out of the job?
 Fortunately, the mere intelligent buyers are beginning to realize there is something more in buying printing than merely securing a flock of bids and picking out the lowest. They have got wise to the fact that they not expect to get quality and service at cut rates
 Again, they realize that a good printer though his charges be more. inspires their con- fdence. He them time and worry Every printer who does his best to inspire this con- fdence helps himself and other printers, too. Not a few printers have cultivated it that customers turn jobs without even asking price, confident that they will get satisfactory deal.
 After all, the printer should expect the same confidence that the buyer gives his lawyer, his druggist, his garage man.

PARIS, May 14-Before winter furs are entirely discarded, the dressmakers of Paris are saying their farewell to summer.
 The last collections that Paris will offer before presenting the fall models show comparatively few changes in the mode. Most of them are meant for wear dur ing the hottest months and are known as mid-season styles.
 Many wash silk beach dresses, silk suits, chiffon afternoon and evening dresses and diaphanous evening wraps are in the collec- tions. There is an increasing tendency to use printed satin for dresses with short capes to match. Lightweight, but dark colored, en- sembles of chiffon, plain or print ed, are widely shown for late sum- mer. Hats of dark color with medium sized briICs are the gen eral choice for wear with these costumes.
 Black and white combinations are frequently seen. Black skirt and white satin blouse, or black dress and white coat, or black dress and coat with white lining,

are often combined. The white satin blouse of tub silk is the favorite for wear with black tail. ored suits.
 Dressmakers are indulging their love of pleating by inserting il in narrow bands of geometrical design. Some dresses have many tiers of fine pleating on the skirts and pleating inserted in patterns on the corsages. Pleated tulle il many thicknesses is used for eve hing wraps by at least one de. signer.
 Collars and cuffs of fine liner or washable silk are more impor tant than they have been for sey eral seasons. The frilled collar Of white or pastel shade is added to many types of summer costume Tailored dresses and street suits have lingerie jabots, frills and ruchings.
 Late fashion notes along the Rue de la Paix include a prophecy that long gloves again will be come a part of the formal costume the introduction of jeweled brooches in the form of full rigged ships and the appearance of high ly polished black crocodile hand bags.

GEORGE RICE ALMOST KILLS HOG PEN BEAR
 AT SIMONARSON HOME

Cunning for a black bear, O. even two of them, and finding instead a real, man-sized brown one are two entirely different matters even viewed as a sport ing proposition. and George B. Rice, well known local business man, is willing to affirm that proposition and defend it. And when a hog ranch gets mixed up in the affair, it is no wonder if the bear-the brown one-makes his getaway.
 MT. Rice was invited by Sam Simonarson to come out to his home in the Scatter Tract and help him round up couple of little black bears that were talk ing too many liberties with the latter's hog feed. An occasional meal was alright but when the bears took all of the privileges of regular paying guests, they went too far, and MT. Simonar- son figured it was time to put an end to the depredations of his self-invited bruin additions to. the pig family.
 Saturday evening MT. Rice availing himself of his friend's s invitation, armed himself with his bear gun, made his way to the Simonarson home. In the yard were Mrs. Simonarson and some children and Judge H. B. LeFevre but MT. Simonarson was absent. Rice, as good warriors do, de. cided to look over the terrain which was the hog yard, and wan. dered off in the direction of the pens. As he approached, he saw form rise above one of the pens and glance revealed to him it was a brown bear, full grown. instead Of one of the black variety he had expected to find
 Different tactics were, there fore, necessary. As a precautior against mishaps, he warned Mrs Simonarson to get the children il the house before he opened his attack Then he took position making ready to fire. But Mrs Simonarscn objected. to the angle of fire which included pen il which was housed $200 prize boar Rice, recognizing the jus tice of this protest, executed { flank movement designed to takt the hog out of the line of fire As he reached a new position and was about ready to begin hos tllitles. the brownie deserted u, banquet at which bs was feast ing, jumped the carral fence ant disappeared into the gloom.
 As no shots were fired, there were no casualties.
