TWELVE YEAR BMTLE HAS ENDED
With the sailing of the Humboldt
la.U< this evening, or early tomorrow
luuruiut, Skagwuy will lose one of
fur pioneers and oddest business meu.
After the announcement of the sale
of the K<rn ;?tore to H. D. Kirmse,
vs somewhat? lust sight of the fact
that the day was fast approaching
w tu*u ? e would look in vain fur the
gem.il and smiling face of Holer E.
Kern, and the fact that he has Ikvu
about th< streets recently pruably a
litUv more tha-a usual, has beeu targe* I
ly accountable for this feeling, but
w< uiv brought to realise that the
tune oi parting has coone, for today
Peter K Kern is about town saying
good-bye; to all his friend s
lu his itinerary "Pete" stepped in
to the Alask&u office. Taking a chair
and carefully filling hts pipe, ho said;
Well the time fur parting has come.
1 am goin.-; around among my friends
this nioruiitK to tell them how I re
gret to leave them. 1 wish to thank
all ny friends and customers for
their kill aud patronage duriao^
(he past tw i-l ve years, especially dur
.ng thus beautiful summers and long
winters. It has been my earnest de
sire to please all customers.
"Many time? in the future will I re
nu mer the 12 year battle for suprem
acy in the busiutfes arena which has
bas been waged between Her
wan Kirmse and myself. FYoui the
wharf to the Summit, and from the
Summit to Broadway each summer
this battle royal has been waged. Mr.
Kirmse would say to the tourists;
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the
largest curio store in Alaska, and the
largest as well as the smallest nug
get chain in the world." I would say
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am in the
middle of the block with a small
store, but a large stock, won't you
come and see us, we will give you a
hand- beaten Swastika pin, made by tlia|
hand oi a Native." And thus the
battle waged and we were always
friends.
"The coming year, Mr. Kirmse
will be better prepared to serve you
than ever before, but I can assure
you that you will always find in "The
Store in. the Middle of the Block' ex
ceptional vales and just prices, and
the same desire and effort to give you
satisfaction, and the same courtesy
that prevailed for the past twelve
yeare. 1 trust that my friends will
not forget the old place, and that
Mr. Kirmse's friends will go once in
a while to the old store.
"In leaving Skagway, all have my
earnest wishes for a prosperous future
and I will await with pleasure that
day that I can return to the 'Gate
way of the Klondike' for a visit."
MAJOR DICK ADVOCATES
AGRICULTURAL TESTS
"What wo nt*Hl to develop the agri- >
t ult ur.il resources of Alaska," said 1
Major Ru hard so n the other day. "is
to hav? the government make a larg
er appropriation, with a view of test
ing the agricultural lands so that they
can be properly surveyed, sub-divided
and then advertised and settlers se
cured. Once convince law makers o t
the farming possibilities of this coun- 1
try and it will be an easy matter to
secure remedial legislation. At the
present time the population is almost
entirely a mining population and the 1
talk and advertising and legislation i
asked for is mostly for the mining in- '
terests. The newspapers and cwutm C
cial organizations and others should i
lose no opportunity to show up the
agricultural resources. Alaska has
been much advertised already, but
there still remains a great work to
b<. done. The growing sentimeat in
favor of sending outside summor
scenes, instead of the more pictur
esque snow landscapes, is another
good stgu and should be encouraged."
