EDITORIAL COMMENT.
That theMetlakatla Salva
tion Army have some very
fine music and singing cannot
be gainsaid. We wish, how
ever, that the English tongue j
will be more in evidence the!
future. Their visit bids fair to j
have a a wholesome effect on i
our town. It does people good |
to have a free chance to get i
up and relate their troublesi
while an army of sympathe
tic people surroucd the con-!
fessing soul with music song.
Let us hope that the benef t
will be lasting.
Some people kick these i
days'because they have cold
feet.
We are pleaced acknowl
dge receipt of the foll woing
exchanges: Daily Empie, The
Sentinel,The Weekly Ivl essen

HOW BIG IS BILLION?
How many of the people who
speak of millions as of a bu
shel of potatoes and glibly
talk about billions,have even
a faint perception of what a
billion is?
II a man nad spend $1 every
minute of every hour,day and
year since Jan.A.D.l, until
today,he would have spent a
trifle over a billion dollors.
In twenty dollar gold pieces
one billion dollars, if stacked
would make a column 74
miles high. If the coins were
laid flat they would form a
line 1,000 miles long, i
In $1 bills, fastened end to
end,it would make a strip
about 118,500 miles long, or
approximately half the dis
tance from the earth to the
moon.
If you received $ 10. a day
360 days of the year y during a
life of 50 productive years
just figure how much longer
you would have to live and
work in order to approx
imate, even a half million.
Oh it’s easy if yon say it
quick.

Friend Hansome:
We should be delighted to ex
change games with you but ther^|
is no place in which to stage a game
in Ketchikan. Mr. Hughes and the
boys have simply given up the idea
of having any games this year.
I had a talk with Mr. Cheney up
on his return from your end of the
country and was glad to hear good
reports from him concerning you and
your work. If you happen along this
way with your team b ? sure to look
me up.
Very sincerely yours,
