But YOU can have either one with the

Light socket and makes 1t possible to

This device, which costs 81, screws
into the socket and has two little
chains. one on either side. Pull the
one and the light gradually dims from
full power to complete darkness: pull
the other and the light comes up
again to any desired intensity. It is
not only q boon for those evenings

That Alaska faces one of the brightest seasons in history, is the belief of w. B. Kirk, wellknown Juneau property owner and retired merchant, who returned to his home here on the Northland. AL aska is the talk of the Pacific Coast, he said, and he predicts not only a heavy traffic North this season, but also the opening of new properties and new enterprises by new capital from the States
 MT. Kirk has been wintering in Washington and oregon, having left Juneau with Mrs. Kirk last August He plans to return to Seattle in six or seven weeks, to return with Mrs. Kirk to make their home again in Juneau.
 Business Picture Bright
 The business picture is bright in the States MT Kirk said, and, because of his personal connection and knowledge of various lines of business, he speaks with authority
 While there is no boom," MT Kirk said, T have observed a de- cided increase in business since go- ing south last year. There is more money circulating, and since there were some 5000 new income tax reports from the State of Washing ton and Alaska alone, little of it comes from relief sources"
 Roosevelt Popular
 Politically, MT Kirk said, Frank lin D. Roosevelt is looming stronger and stronger as the peoples choice for reelection. There is no one to compete with him." MT. Kirk said, and his popularity has doubled since I first went to the States last August"
 MT. Kirk is the house guest of MT. and Mrs. H. R. VanderLeest Before retiring from business, MT Kirk and MT VanderLeest were associated in the Butle r-MaurC Drug Company here.
