LINCOLN STILL SERVES
Every year it becomes more
apparent that Abraham Lin
coln’s services to his countrj
and humanity were not limited
to his life time. Though hi;
spacious heart, his rationa
mind, his impressive face anc
figure no longer function as
such, the memory of thesi
things continues virile and in
spiring to this generation as t
those just ahead and other:
still to follow.
His greatest service come
when the spirit droops, th(
conscience becomes torpid
when the lust of materialisn
seizes the minds and hearts o:
the people and they turn t'rori
those great truths for whicl
the Emancipator stood in sue!
sublime dignity and firmness
This, like some of its immedi
ately preceding years, is on:
when the people may invok:
with abundant piofit to them
selves the spirit of Lincoln, hi:
self-effacement, his unbound
ed humanitarianism, his su
bordination of petty to largi
things, his high morality, hi
deep spirituality, his tremend
ous zeal for the good of all. N<
normal man or woman cai
stand in the shadow of- Line
cln’s memory and do littli
things.
Lincoln serves today no les
mightily than during his life
time. His example seems es
pecially appropriate this year
In the rush to aggrandize sell
to pile up substance, to givi
shoit shrift to spirit, to live on
ly for the day, the memory o
Lincoln comes to caution an<
lestrain and to point the wa;
to a path of service he foliowe:
so diligently and faithfully.

PATRONIZE LOCAL STORE!
Some residents evidently fai
to lealize to what extent the;
are hurting home trade and in
dustry by occasionally order
ing from mail order house
goods that are continually car
lied by local merchants, jucfg
ing by remarks heard recently
‘‘What difference does i
make,” one resident remarked
“if I send out a few dollars tc
mail-order houses now anc
then?”
' Were her particular case th<
only one of its nature in th<
camp, it would make but litth
; difference, but individual cas
es in the aggregate do make i
great deal of difference. Sht
is only one of many who art
doing the same thing she is do
ng, and, added together, th<
amounts they send out run intv
many hundreds of dollars i
year. It is the small buyer
i : hat keep the mail-order house
; joing. While we have no war
of knowing what the mail or
ders average in any particulai
j house, vet it is safe to say tha
; he sum is only a few dollars
1 The $2.98 you send away to
day is not much in itself, bu
' j when it is pooled with dozen;
■! of other like amounts is make;
: a substantial sum. The smal
• | aims form by far the greate
- part of the millions of dollar
■ of mail-order business done ii
s this country every year.
So spend your $2.98 with lo
' cal merchants whenever it i
1 possible to secure locally tin
character of goods you desire
, If you do that, you will not on
ly be helping them and you
5 town but will also be helpinj
-! yourself by keeping more mon
■ ey in circulation here. If all o
• the money spent by local resi
, dents annually was spent in tin
5 local stores the camp would en
- joy a generous prosperity am
f increased business would en
l able the local business house
’ to sell at lower figures, owinj
1 to an increase of turn-over. I
may please the fancy of sonn
to argue that this would not b<
the case but it would. In bis de
> sire to secure more trade tin
merchant who can sell at low
er figures will inevitably do s<
1 to secure the increased trad'
he desires. If you spend you
- $2.98 here, you also stand ;
- chance of getting a part of i
31 back some day, but if you sen<
- it away the entire sum is takei
j
out of local circulation and
none of it returns to you or any
one else in the community
Just for Fun
Everybody finds fault, but no
one finds a remedy.

ALASKA NOTES1
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
Alaska’s known coal resourc
es are conservatively estimated
at 150,000,000,000 tons, and it
is probable that much larger
supplies will be discovered, ac
cording to a recent announce
ment by the department of the j
interior.
A. Erskine Smith, better
known as “Coolgardie” Sjnith,
mining broker and soldier of
fortune, who won and lost a
half dozen fortunes in the gold
fields of Australia and the Yu
kon, died recently in Vancouv
er. He is said to have been the
first man to shoot the White
horse rapids in a scow in 1898.
A bond issue of one million
dollars is sought by the Ketch
ikan city council for the pur
pose of purchasing the Citi
zens’ I.ight, Power & Water
Company in case such purch
ase is deemed expedient by the
citizens of the town. The light
and power company is owned
at present by the W. B. Fosh
ay Co., now in the hands of a
teceiver, and may be sold at re
ceiver’s sale. The city wants
to be in a position to buy the
plant in such case. The council
recently resolved to ask cong
ress to authorize the bond is
sue if the citizens approve.
A 900-pound sea lion was
shot recently in Barlow Cove,
near Juneau, by Capt. Martin
Hilst of the gas boat Wilson.
The big animal was sold to fox
farmers on the Glacier High->
way for feed at the rate of 5
cents per pound.
The new mineral belt in the
Taku region may be opened up
in the spring by a road running
from British Columbia to the
Alaska panhandle, according
to reports from Canadian sour
ces. As planned, the road will
extend from Eaton, seven miles
up the Tulsequah river, to the
properties of the United East
ern Mines, Ltd., with a cut-off
load running eastward a mile
and three-quarters to the prop
erties of the Alaska Juneau,
which is cooperating in trans
portation with the United East
ern.
Bonds in the sum of $50,000
for a sewer system and a re
taining wall along the Cordova
waterfront will be authorized
I in a, hill introduced by delegate
Sutherland in the lower house
of Congress a few days ago.
I The bill provides that the bond
; measure must be submitted to
the voters at a special election
before work on the improve
! ments starts.
