THE VERY LATEST ADVERTISING STUNT
There b??e bs??a more or ieea y*ys
o' advertising. bu: Kubiiik ??? passed
itxe limit and the Alaskan -moves a re
cession. Kubllik it the latest divinity
of tbe violin? 10 one learn* from the
exchanges, as this oircuit is not being
played. Kubiliic tetls a Seattle Times
reporter that he is willing now to be
kisj.-d. This of course will come to the
girls of Alaska as a mere aggravation,,
since be is out of reach. It certainly
is a great advertising stunt
There was once a man named ttobson
who had no alternative and what be
did have they called Hobson's choice.
This struck the world as sucb an ex
cellent jo<e that the saying is fixed in
tbe American language. So when
Hobson, of tbe navy, became so that
the girls could not resist him, here was
this trite saying ready tor him, and
be stood a speechless figure working
tbis figure of speech. both ways, coming
and going. It being impossible for
him to avai l the rush he still found it a
pleasure. Now th s o'd thing bas been
?vorke t to death but it i* the tirst time
the A assan ever gave it any sorious
ooasid :ritu>o and so you must let it
pass <vi b uo thoughts of violence since
it groASoulof a case in oppjsition to
fhat of FTob*>n ? this man Kubillk.
Kubiiik i-> a m.trried man. He says the
:;os are so c?rried away by the music
be rvtSfcs.thai they insist ou kissing
him but that ho has always felt that
his wi.'e would not like it so he
wouldn't.
Ta rimes man told him his wife bad

saying she didn't care, and wi'h that
Kublllk is set down its snyin^ ho will
thereafter submit. But his wife, who
says sho doesn't care, must be aware of
the value of the privilege.
It Is pleasant to note that the Individ
uai and picturesque undertaking of
Ezra Meeker, looking to the preserva
tion of the old Orogou trail, is likely to
realize its purpose. A bill has been
introduced in congress for an appro
prlat'on of *50.000 to th*t end. Ezra
i Aleeker ?<?.? not only a pionrsr of,
Washington but *? in the frou'- of f ht>
army of stampedes co the Kiouaike in
'98. An old man, he stood the racket
with the youngest. It was after that
experience, that he retraced with an
ox team the entire distance from his
his home at Puyallup to his starting
point In Indiana, over tho road he came
by fifty-four years before, and planting
monuments along tho way. Energy
and purpose like this generally wins.
A boulevard should be made out of the
old trail from co?st to coast, ss a monu
ment to the pioneers as well a? a play
ground for their children.
"What the Xanana mining country
needs most of all is. not the attempted
domination of the Western Federation
of Miners, but the immigration of
?trong, clean, e'ear-headed American
citisens, who have a talent for work at
the best wages paid in any mining
camp in the worW, and who will not be
satisfied even with them, but, having
gained a grub stake, are willing to take
the same chance as every mint opera
tor in the north and get out d hustle
for gold on bis own account,"
This Is an expression of John Uonan,
an Alaskan pioneer i?nd one of the
Urge operators on Cle-trv creek. It
hits the situation squarely betwe ;o the
eyes? especially the last pirl. What
all Alaska needs is independent and
e/.terprising prospectors.
Stories of a new army ofjiia unem
ployed? a thing of which nothing has
oeen heard of lo this con try for ma.iv
years? are spread through th? newt
papers thst come to us from the hi.
cities to the sooth of us. Alaskans
marvel at these stories as ao expression
of a phenomenon, out of and beyond
their experience. There is employment
for the unemployed iu Alaska, in seek
ing the stores in the earth on their own
account? if they know how to taatdle
themselves.

He earned his daily bread,
They burled him in a union grave
When the union man was dead.
He had a union doctor,
And he had a-union nurse;
He' had a union cotlin,
And bo had a union hearso.
They put him in a union grave,
When he was good and dead; - \
They put up a union monument

And then he went to heaven,
But to stay he didn't care;
He kicked bccause, he said, some
