MACKINAWs AND MONUMENTS

Monuments to cows have been erected. Why not to clothes? Can ada is to honor the mackinaw jack ct with a tablet at St. Joseph Is land, Ont. Historians assert that this coat of many colors originated in 1912 when a military officer stationed at St. Joseph Fort forced Indian squaws to produce needed coats from gaily colored blankets. When the detachment moved to Mackinac Island the coats went with them. Hence their name.
 Probably nothing has contributed more to winter sports than the mackinaw. Upholstered and or namented with a mackinaw and shaggy woolen stockings, the veri- est city novice will tackle pair of untamed skis without other prep aration or practice. But experience proves that a mackinaw is really no more evidence of prowess with these alleged modes of locomotion than are knickers proof of ability at golf. However, both reveal hid den and possibly unsuspected am- bitions. Wearers of plus fours or mackinaws, when asked if they golf or ski, may say, "No"; yet they may add, hopefully and equal ly truthfully, "but I can't give II up."
 The mackinaw is also one of mems greatest opportunities for emancipation from the bondage of conservatism in dress. The com binations and brilliance of colors are unlimited.

Did You Ever Stop To Think
By EDISON R. WAITE Shawnee, Oklahoma.

D. Lansing Ray, president and publisher of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, says:
 Did you ever stop to think that you can go to stores right in your home town and, by judicious selec- tion, be assured of getting the same quality as that which a purchaser in New York or St. Louis or San Francisco gets?
 Modern methods of manufacture and distribution have given you this advantage. Your grandparents bought their soda crackers, their candy, their raisins in bulk, from grocer who scooped the merchan- disc out of a bin. In those days the buyer could only hope that he would get full measure-or perhaps extra measure. He could only hope that the goods he bought would be pure-as high in quality one week as the last.
 But until business genius found way to package merchandise, and until business pride and business foresight inspired the marking of packages with dependable brands, the consumer could never be sure of uniformity in the weight or the quality of the things he bought.
 To-day the manufacturer who places his trademark on pair of shoes, a bottled beverage, or a can of peas, proclaims with pride, This is my product; I shall keep it good.
 "Then, if he is wise, this manu- facturer will advertise his trade mark to the nation, and tell you, in your home town newspaper, where you can secure his brand. And the people in the New England states can buy with confidence, and the people in the southern states can buy with confidence-sure of get ting the same value as the people in Pennsylvania, in Idaho, in Ore gon. or even in the famous 49th state. !"

District Receiving Attention

The eyes of the mining world are on the whole of northern Brit ish Columbia, and scouts are in- vestigating every prospect of any promise throughout the mineral ized areas. Atlin is receiving it's share of attention, and will neces- sarily benefit to great extent from the general increased mining ac- tivity. Investors in placer proper ties may be assured of reason able expectation of good returns from their ventures, provided they exercise ordinary good judgment in the selection of the ground to be worked, and place practical men in charge, who will see that their money is wisely expended. Placer mining is a clean business, and it attracts clean type of men. When the gold is recovered it is a finished product, and may be disposed of in any quantity at fixed price. It is wrested direct from nature and adds to the wealth of the world, without injury to ones fellow men. With such a business for it's basic industry, with it's quartz potential ities barely suggested, this district has much to offer the prospective investor, and it may be confidently predicted that with all it's other natural attractions, Atlin will en- joy a period of steady development for a long time to come.

FAIRBANKS HI SCHOOL
 IN BANKING BUSINESS
Plan Under Way To Provide Fund For Graduates Who Desire
 College Training

FAIRBANKS-A loan fund for graduates of the Fairbanks high school who attend the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines has been started by Superintendent Harry E. Moore, who has accepted from local individuals and business firms donations totaling $302.'0. This sum has been deposited in the First National Bank of Fairbanks to the credit of the Fairbanks high school alumni fund. Superintendent Moore has named the following all umni as a board of control, who will adopt rules and regulations governing all the loans: Miss Bes- sic Happier, 1921; Robert Bart lett. 1922; Frank DeWree, 1923; Walter Kubon, 1927; and Norma Clausen, 1928.
 Members of the board of control will serve for five, four, three, two and one years, in the order named. Vacancies caused by removal from Fairbanks will be filled for the un- expired term only by those remain ing. Upon the expiration of the term of any member, those remain ing will elect a successor for a term of five years. There is never to be more than one member from any one graduating class.
 Since there is already a loan fund at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, but available only to students who are enrolled in the third and fourth years, this fund will be available only to stu dents who are enrolled in the first and second years. To be eligible for a loan, a student must be en- rolled in the second semester in not less than 15 credit hours work and must have passed in not less than three-fourths of his work during the previous semester in which he was enrolled for not less than Is credit hours work.
 The school will attempt to raise an additional $2O0 for this fund by giving the net proceeds of school program, which will be given the latter part of February, and will consist of numbers from the high ccboo1 orchpstra plee p1uhs and the second and third grade rhythm or chestra. The receipts from the an- nual Alumni-H. S. basketball game should increase this fund at least $1OO. There are approximately 125 alumni of the Fairbanks high school and it is expected that donations aggregating $500 will be received from them.

varied activities and entertainments which were typical of the mining camps of the north. Good pay was found on Spruce Creek, and prac- tically all the tributaries of Pine Creek, and on those running into Suprise lake over the gold forma- tion. Mining men and prospeetors were attracted from all over the world, and a considerable percent age of the by-wash of the Klondike rush drifted into this district. At one time around 1899 and 1900 there were said to be 10000 people in Atlin, mostly in tents scattered over the present townsite, and for miles along the old trail to Dis covery. The camp boasted three banks, three churches, and the number of saloons is only a memory. There were several lawyers among whom were the late Sir Richard Mcbride, who practised there as a young man, and His Honor, Judge Young, now Judge of the Court of the County of Prince Rupert.
 During 1898 the production of gold was about $75,O0O, but in 1899 it jumped to nearly a million, and for the next eight years aver aged around s5OO,OOO. From then on down through the years of the war, the production fluctuated be- tween the latter figure and $2OO,- 900.

It has been the custom in recent years to look upon Atlin as a worked out placer camp. This is a concep- tion however, which is far from the real situation. The placer-gold de- posits of Atlin are today, after thir- ty-one years of continuous work ing, a field well worth the atten- ton of the mining world. It is true that the shallow diggings (the easy money) have been practically cleaned out, but although there have been perhaps ten millions, or more, in gold already taken from the district, there are still many more millions left in the creek beds. A conservative estimate of the gold still remaining in one creek alone, Spruce Creek, for a long time known as the prospect or's meal ticket, would place the amount at anywhere from fifteen to twenty million dollars, and there are a number of other creeks that have never been thoroughly worked and some only partially prospected. That the true situation is begin ming to be recognized by those who are on the lookout for profit able field for investment, is borne out by the fact that, within the last few vaars New York capital directed by MT. Charles V. Bob, who is also responsible for the opening up of the Engineer mine, has in- stalled on Pine Creek, where the first discovery of gold in the dis trict was made, one of the largest hydraulic mining plants on the con- tinent, utilizing six miles of the old hydraulic ditch Of the Discov- cry Mining and Power Company, and over two miles of pipe line.

Beautiful Atlin

It is difficult in dealing with anything in connection with the Atlin district, to refrain from men tioning something of it's wonder ful climate, and natural beauties, whose combination of lake, valley and mountain scenery gives a sweep of vision and a lovliness of shade and coloring that is not within the scope of this article, nor the power of the writer to describe.

EASY TERMS


 We came across an article the other day concerning the "easy- terms offered buyers nowadays, It Is the diary of one of the victims and we believe it is worth repeat ing here.
 January 4. Bought an auto mobile today. Very easy terms. Very fine car, with cigar lighter on dash. Ought to finish payments on this in eighteen months.
 February 4. Paid installment due on car. Bought a radio set on easy terms. Fine set. Payments will be small and monthly.
 March '. A little late with pay ment on car this month, and will have to let the radio payment go over until April. as I bought set of books and paid $11 down. Very fine books Everybody should have this set of books.
 April 15. Borrowed $50 from the boss to meet payment on car. The radio man came to take away the set, but we put out the lights and weren't at home. The chump hung around all evening, so couldn't see to read the books.
 June 15. Borrowed $100 from Uncle George to pay the $50 I bor- rowed from the boss, and also to meet payments on car. Got behind little on the book payments, be- cause I bought a piece of land in a new real estate development. This land ought to jump in value. Paid $50 down.
 August 15. Somehow I do not miss the radio much And you can get plenty of books at the Public Library. The thing that hurts is that Uncle George should be so mean. Of course I told him I'd pay him back the $100 on August 1; but you can't do the impossible, can you? Trying to arrange a character loan from the bank. If I can borrow $25O, can get square again and everything will go fine.
 August 16. Bank says I have no character What a fine bunch of crooks!
 September 30. The garage man is holding the car for that labor bill What right have they to hold the car? It doesn't belong to me.
 "October l. It wasn't any use. had to let the car go. Anyway I'd rather have that piece of land. They have given me months grace on that Real estate people have more heart after all
 November 15. We'll, they can have their old alnd. Good riddance. If I knew where to get $3O to meet the payment on the piano, I'd be all right Bought a new automo- bile today, on the pay out of in- come basis.

The Discoverers

Miller had brother, Fritz, who, together with Kenney McLaren, a Canadian prospector on his way to the Klondike, decided to investigate this story. Starting out with dog team from Skagway, they mushed in over the White Pass, leaving the Yukon trail at Bennett. It was mid winter, and they travelled over the ice across Taku arm and Atlin Lake, identifying the location of the creek by the three islands standing in a line out in the lake from what is now the townsite of Atlin. They prospected up Pine Creek and in January, 1928, made their discov- cry of the coveted gold at a point about six miles from the mouth of the creek, where the town of Dis covery later flourished. They were forced to return to Juneau for sup plies and coming back were fol- lowed by others, and in the summer of '98 the discovery of gold in the Atlin district was announced to the world.
 The first few years following the discovery of gold in Atlin were hectic years. ssething with the

Boulder Creek

On Boulder Creek, where already two millions have been taken out, the consolidated Mining and Smelt- ing Company are on their third year of development work in open ing up the unworked ground, while on Otter Creek a newly organized French company have started plan of development which will involve an expenditure in the neighborhood of $200,00O, and two or three years work, before they can hope to find gold in paying quantities. It is probably safe to prophecy that placer gold will be produced in the Atlin district for the next fifty years.
 Very little was known of the At lin country prior to June of 1898. No doubt a few prospectors had been through there, and it was known that some big lakes, the largest of which was called 'Atlin' (Indian for Big WaterO, lay in that part of Cassiar, amidst rugged hills and massive glaciers. The story is told that a man by the name of Miller, who kept a hotel in Juneau, provided lodgings for a prospector coming out from this district, who told him of a likely looking creek he had seen, running into this big lake from the east, and emptying into it near three islands.
