her special line, as this is perhaps the
first time that milady of Juneau and
Douglas has experienced the feeling of
assurance that she could go down town
and be able to purchase some really
original and exclusive Christmas gifts
without the necessity of sending below,
thereby doing away with the worry,
loss of time and expense which is usu
ally part of the program of Xmas shop
ping in Alaska. Miss Sullivan has a
very fine line of exclusive and original
designs in French hand embroidered
and hand painted novelties, cross
stitch work, linen goods, etc., and her
stock shows that the lady is possessed
of very good taste in the selection of
her goods. Miss Sullivan has located
at the Purity Pharmacy in Juneau,
where she has her stock arranged for
inspection. Her ad is to be found else
where in this issue.
Miss Sullivan lias specialized in this
work for a number of years, having
had charge of this department in one
of the large department stores in New
York city and also in Chicago. She
has also represented several of the
largest importers of this class of goods
in the east and also one of the large
export houses located in Paris. She
has travelled considerably through the
states displaying her goods and estab
lishing a line of trade. Recently Miss
Sullivan made up her mind to paddle
her own canoe and struck out for her
self, but still maintains her connect
ions with her former business assoc
iates and is thus enabled to secure the
very latest creations from Paris and
New York for her exclusive trade.
Miss Sullivan has been very well im
pressed with Juneau in the few days
she has been here and while her present
stay is necessarily short, she has under
consideration the idea of locating here
permanently.

KILLED ALASKA GOOSE
Under the caption, “ With Secretary
Fisher in Alaska,’’ Mr. E. H. Thomas
draws a gloomy picture of conditions
in that territory because of the appli
cation of conservation. To his view it
would now be useless to open up the
coal lands so much in dispute, as the
natural markets have been lost through
the installation of oil burning devices
on railroads and in mills and steam
ships.
“The goose that was to lay the
golden egg was killed on the nest.”
writes Mr. Thomas in the current Min
ing & Engineering News.
“Alaska must get another goose.
In other words industrial development
of the territory must be reorganized
from the ground up. It was a Guggen
heim goose that sat in the lap of Al
aska in 1907, and the bird represented
a possible $50,000,000 investment. ’ ’
According to Mr. Thomas, who is an
editorial writer of Seattle, had not the
conservation idea prevailed so keenly
Alaska would now have great coking
and smelting works, a Canadian rail
road operating the territory and a mar
ket for 600,000 tons of coal a year for
a number of years.
“The men in the field ahead of the
secretary reported that there is a large
quantity of coal of good grade in a
shattered condition. They reported
adversely on the coal field as one that
could be mined economically. Nature
has conserved it. Man can’t use it at
present. It is there Mr. Pinchot’s fu
ture generations and the world will
soon forget it, asserts Mr. Thomas.—

BULL MOOSE FIGHT
It was the privilege of George-Dre
belbis and O. H. Reese, during their
recent hunting trip, says the Seward
Gateway, to witness a terrific battle
between two monster bull moose. The
monarchs of the woods charged each
other from perhaps fifty paces, and the
crack of their massive hrns, as they
mot head on, resounded throughout the *
valley and was what first called the at
tention of the hunters to the scene.
For full fifteen minutes the men watch
ed the strange and fearful mortal com
bat. Drebelbis, with a camera, was
seeking to get a picture of the fight,'
while Reese stood by, rifle in hand,
prepared to shoot should it become nec
essary to protect themselves. Often,
when the animals clashed, their horns
would become entangled and the big
brutes would wrestle and wiggle about,
seeking to be released, one from the
other. During one of these clashes,
with horns firmly interwoven, the larg
er moose wrested one horn loose and
drove a prong deep in the side of his
adversary. The wounded animal fell
to the ground and rolled over on his
back, kicking his feet in the air in the
meantime. The victor stepped back a ,
few paces and took no advantage of
his fallen foe. Finally the maimed ani
mal arose and started to renew the
struggle. He went toward his adver
sary, but changed his mind and hot
footed it in another direction. The
victor made no attempt to follow.
i he presence of the hunters in no
way disconcerted the animals, who fin
ished their struggle oblivious to their
surroundings, Drebelbis securing a
couple of good views, but could not se
cure one when the animals had their
horns interlocked owing to the quick
and constantly moving attitude of the
vicious participants in the contest.
