est consolation-if the worst came to worst could be sold.
 Five presents here and they aren't from the five and ten, either, Jack! I know, you took my emer- aid to buy these, didn't you?"
 You honestly think that of me, Ellen? If that's the way you feel, all right, think what you please!"
 Neither of them realized that they were hardly accountable for their mutual leck of understanding. Tears fairly blinded Euen as she went out to bring in the little red hen, her offering for the holiday dinner.
 Then suddenly she caught sight of the familiar emerald-there in the little red hens insides was hidden the gem she had thought poor Jack had taken. In moment she went to her knees before her husband.
 Forgive? Why, Ellen dear, it certainly did look bad for me, no wonder. If I'd not been a stubborn fool I'd have gone on and explained myself. You see, darling, on the street today I found a packet of bonds and when I returned them to their owner, he gave me twenty dol lars as a reward and job!"
 Even an old grouch would have had to grin had he seen Jack and Ellen then join hands and dance about in their joy for merry, lucky Christn9~!

THERE was not to be any
 Christmas tree at the little
 church at the head of Smoke Creek that year; and of the several families who lived there, not more than half were expecting Santa Claus. The dark days had left the dismal little valley or hollow even more gloomy than it had been in better years, when the mines across the ridge in the next hollow gave some employment to the heads of the families of Smoke Creek.
 Jim Knox, who lived at the very head of the stream, was perhaps

Encouragement Charged


 From what l can learn from the AIasKa-1ukon Pioneers the promoter grossly mismanaged Che whole af- fair-so much so that very little in- terest or support could be obtained Only a few of our firms subscribed, and even they were in doubt as to whether they should actually buld a booth or not
 Much to our surprise # was learn ed, after he had returned from Al aska, that representative or the exposition had gone North and solic- tied exhibits from the Alaska towns. and had invited those towns 10 send young ladies down to represent them in a Miss Alaska" contest. It would have saved a lot of trouble If when your Chamber of Commerce was approached by this man you had communicated with me to find out the facts about the exposition. In the future l know it will prevent a repe- tition of a similar situation if you will write or wire me when anyone presuming to represent this city re- quests your cooperation on some civic project.
 Few Exhibits
 The show opened with few eXhib- its, not enough to interest or at tract crowds. and financial diff culties developed immediately.
 l learned that the exposition man agement could not and was not talk ing care of the girls from the Alas wa towns as they had been promised 1 immediately called together sever ka committee. namely Yolney Rich mond of the Northern Commercial ond of the Northern Commercial Company; James Frank, National Grocery Company; C. P. Kefauver, Schwabacher Bros. & Co.,. Glen Car rington, Darlington x Jones: Earle Knight, Editor of the Alaska Week ly: and Arthur Ellsworth, represent ing the Alaska canned salmon indus try When the situation was ex- plained they immediately underwrote the funds and the girls were given the finest entertainment we could arrange, and all their expenses were taken care of. From what the young ladies have told me they had a mar yelous time during the week, and their entertainment is still going on.
 You are to be congratulated on the fine showing made by Miss An geline Burnett. She was a capable representative of your town.
 It is regrettable the exposition was held, and the sooner it is for gotten the better it will be.
 l realize this letter is long, but l wanted you to have as full informa- tion as l could give you.

hEIChiIkAN PAYS BILL
 MINIATURE RAILROAD

Ne1culNan eouncilmen last week finally approved a bill from F. |. Rockhill for $11S5.25 for construe- tion of a locomotive for the minia- ture railroad which operated at the ketchikan Industrial Fair. states the Chronicle
 Before approving the bill, council men held a post mortem" over the il-fated enterprise. Council m a Henry Erwick summed up the body's sentiment on the scenic route, ab- breyiated railroad which loops the city park, by saying, It's too bad 1t happened"
 He was referring to the unantici- pated hign cost of the amusement and the failure of the venture to Day for itself from receipts during the Fair held early in September
 The council, acting as a Fair board, first approved the project on tne oasis of it's costing approximat- ely 5000. This was based on an original estimate of the locomotive cost of less than S400. However, all costs of the railroad exceeded origin al estimates.
 Train Costs
 IL finally cost $2799.37 and took in only $476.45 during the indus trial exposition. Accordingly the cost of the railroad was prorated op- CT a four-year period.
 Previously, councilmen refused to pay for the locomotive because the bill was three times as much as the original estimate However, MI Rockhill pointed out that the plans and specifications for the engine were changed after work was start ed. He said the bill, which was sub mitted for materials and All hours of labor does not include ten days work which he did after the tram was first put on the track.
 Councilman Mckay moved the bill be paid, and Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. All councilmen voted in favor of the motion.

AelEI I4. MtGAheI H. manager or the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. last week wrote to F. 0. Hanford, president of the Wrangeu Chamber of Commerce. a letter of explana- ton regarding the failure of the re- cent Alaska Yukon Pioneers Exposi- ton. The letter follows:
 Mr. F. c. Hanford, President Nrangell Chamber Of Commerce Wrangell Alaska
 Dear Mr. Hanford:
 l am writing this letter to eX- plain some of the facts in connec- tion with the recent Alaska-Yukon Pioneers Exposition held in this city to make clear to you that the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce had noth- ing whatsoever to do with the plans, management or sponsorship of the affair. In face. under all the circum- stances it was extremely unfortunate that the show was ever permitted to open. However, there Is nothing to prevent any organization staging an exposition if it wishes. as long as it is within the law
 Originally the Alaska Yukon Pio- neers planned a dedicatory ceremony to mark the naming of our water front street Alaskan Way" How ever. a promoter came along and ap- parently convinced the Pioneers group that an exposition should be put on in conjunction with the dad- ication. the profits to go for the purchase of the Sourdough monu- ment il to be placed on Alaskan Way A t first the plan was to hold it on one Of the central waterfront piers, but a press notice later announced it was to be held in the Civic Aud itOrium.
 Impossible Task
 Now the Auditorium is very large place, takes at least one han dred booths to make a good showing and this Chamber has had many years experience in arranging ex- hibitions of that kind. However, af- tCA IAC last T dGAI4G NOA LII west AlEI- chants Exposition, which was held several years ago. we canyassed our business institutions and by a very decided vote it was determined not to attempt this type of show again. In the face of this fact. and without consultation with this Chamber ot Commerce at all, or with our busin- ess houses to see if they would sup port it, the management set out on the impossible task Of holding the exposition in the Auditorium.
 l am not aware how the sponsor ing ommittee was appointed, but l do know that this Chamber was not asked 10 participate and that the names of several business men ap- pointed on the committee were used without their knowledge or authori-

Hints for Homemakers
By Jane Rogers

IF yon reach for the catsup bottle
4 and find that 1t has a black ring
and a tfickened plug of sauce at
the nape of its neck it is wearing
an old-fashioned cap.
The latest fashion in catsup bot
tie caps prevents both these unat-
tractiye conditions These caps
which may be single or double shell
have no liners, such as cork, to con-
taminate the flavor of the product.
They are trim and give a neat
closure that may be removed sim
ply by lifting up with the fiat side
Of sturdy table knife, and when
replaced afford perfect hermetic re-
sealing as many times as the bot
tie is uncapped
The caps are originally applied
by a process called vapor-vacuum
sealing. This process involves the
evacuation of the head space by
hot, dry Vapor, which In addition to
evacuating the air, sterilizes the
head cap, and seals the package
with high vacuum This high
vacuum condition In the head space
of the bottle eliminates oxidation,
which process turns the surface of
the catsup dark, preserves the
aroma in all its freshness. prevents
the plug of catsup usually found in
the neck. and by reason of the cap,
gives a perfect hermetie vacuum
sealing.

In Wobowisic cemetery there il

In Wobowisic cemetery there is
good granite stone bearing the
brief legend: Obhging Jim-1895-
1885. Jim was a local character
who loved to do things for others
and, in the end, was done by
them. Being obliging was his weak
ness and he could no more be
disotliging than a cat can bark.
jim inherited a farm ana
might have done well, only his
neighbors borrowed his tools and
wanted to rent his land for crops,
and he obliged them Jim was
lonely for nobody stayed with him
longer than was necessary to
borrow his team or his car. Then
one of the less popular town giris
decided to marry him, and he
obliged her.
During the depression his
neighbors were hard up and Jim
loaned them money, which they
never retained, seeing Jim was
so obliging, anyway. His wife
found a new flame in a summer
boarder and ran off. Jim wasn's
mad and people that @were obi
gated to him called him a fool.
At last, Jim mortgaged his farm.
Then his wife came home and
begged forgivness for herself
and the man she loved. He obliged
them by taking them in. This
was more than the town could
stand and they got together and
foreclosed his mortgage. tt+
what can l do now. Pve only
my insurance left?" asked Jim.
eff I were YOU" said his wife,
I'd go jump in the lake"
"And that" said the town
clerk, sis just what he did. His
wife collected the insurance and
left town"
