AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
IT’S UP TO YOU
The record for 1929 is being
rapidly closed. The next few
weeks will cast up the final ac
count. During the remainder
of the year the peak period of
merchandising expenditures
will be reached in all parts of
the country. The conditions
here will be much the same as
elsewhere and there will be
a relatively far larger volume
of expenditures than at other
times.
It will make a vital difference
where you do your holiday
shopping. The people of this
community have it in their
power to make the close of
the year a successful business
period for the local business
houses, who, owing to the ad
verse conditions of summer,
have not enjoyed a particular
ly beneficial season. There
will be money enough expend
ed in the coming two months to
help a lot in making up for the
bad season and to greatly as
sist in tiding over the coming
long and normally dull winter
period—provided that money
is spent at home and made to
pass through local trade chan
nels. The dictates of commun
ity interest should impel all
public-spirited citizens to join
in the practical and effective
means of boosting the commun
ity by helping those who live
in it. The interest which we
feel in the well-being of our
friends and neighbors should
prompt us to helpfulness in a
natural, logical way.
Good business judgement and
common business experience
both tend to emphasize the
the fact that an increase of re
tail trade means an increase in
community prosperity—a bet
terment for everybody whose
interests are identified with
the community. Economy and.
thrift, good sense and self-in
terest all eombine to urge the
need for keeping our money at
home if we desire the commun
ity to prosper. To do so is to
adopt one of the most sensible,
practical and effective means
of self-helpfulness and com
munity betterment possible to .
' employ—better than any plan j
or scheme of exploitation that |
could be devised.
THE BROAD VIEWPOINT j
|
There is an old maxim: “Put
yourself in his place.” Charles
Reade made it the title of one j
of his great moralizing novels
and it has been used by numer-!
ous other writers to point out
the proper method of estimat
| ing the words and acts of oth
ers. The maxim is no less ap
plicable today than at any oth
er time in the world’s history
and should always be remem
i bered when weighing the
words or actions of relatives,
friends and acquaintances, as 1
well as those of public men |
and women. ^
It is easy, of course, to be tol
erant of the words and deedsof
relatives and close friends, for
the reason that we know them
■ well, and therefore are able to
I put ourselves in their places j
much more readily than we
can put ourselves in the place j
of those we do not know so j
well and whose motives and'
reasons we can often only j
guess at.
.
It is often very difficult to
place one’s-self in the place of
| another and to see as they do.
; In fact it is impossible to do so j
i fully, save in very rare cases.
The more nearly our experi-!
| ences coincide with those of
| others the better we can sym
pathize with them and under
stand their reactions. But even j
j when the experiences of two
men seem to be identical, the
I circumstance that two men’s
| natures, dispositions, temper
| ments, ages, education, train
ing and environment are differ
ent will prevent them from
looking at a thing in the same
light, from feeling about it in
just the same way and from
coming into perfect accord
concerning it.
Judging one’s fellow men is
at best decidedly unfair.
Naming Mining Companies
Local mine company organiz
ers with a penchant for sonor
ous titles <?an find a valuable
tip in the following article on
the subject from Mining Truth.
“Naming a mining company
is a matter over which many
promoters and boards of direct
ors spend sleepless nights.
This office has always main
tained that a name should be
short, unusual, and to some ex
tent descriptive. Geographical
names serve well in some cases,
but naturally there can only be
a few companies named after
rivers, mountains, counties,
provinces or states.
The growth of the diversifi
cation idea in mining has made
the naming of companies with
widespread operations more
difficult. Some of the appellat
ions adopted for recent merg
ers of mining interests are
clumsy in the extreme. Few.
show any inspiration.
In this connection we doff
our hat to the unknown genius
who produced the title “Ven
tures, Ltd.”
I
Just for Fun
It’s seldom that a man who
shoots straight is annoyed by a
wolf at the door.
It’s the horn of plenty that;
starts many a man on a toot
with a siren.
Many sealskin coats will be
sold next winter that are worn
b} rabbits now.
The only real relief for a bad
cold seems to be a cussing.
Time waits for no man, but
has little choice in the matter
when the average man ap
proaches 35.
Teacher: “Robert, here is an
example in subtraction. Seven
boys went to the creek to bathe
but two of them had been told
not to go in the water. Now,
can you tell me how many went
in?”
Robert: “Yes’m; seven.”
Prosperous times are those
in which almost everybody has
money to lose in Wall Street.
“To what do you owe your ex
traordinary success as a house
to house salesman?”
“To the first five words I ut
ter when a woman opens the
door— ‘Miss, is your mother
in?”
“Say, do you know anything
but golf-golf-golf?” asked the
irate wife. “Why, if you spent
one Sunday at home, I think
the shock would kill me!”
“It don’t do you any good to
talk like that,” returned the
husband calmly, “I refuse to
be bribed.”
It was about 2:30 in the mor
ing and the man had obviously
been drinking. He floundered
around the door looking for the
keyhole. When he finally got
inside his wife called sweetly:
“Is that you, John?”
“It better be,” was the thick
response, “er, by gosh, I’ll get a
divorsh!”
The following announcement
was made in a country church
by the head of the Ladies’ Aid:
“I wish to announce that on

Wm. Schmidt of Fairbanks
has shipped to the States this
season 3,600 Alaska' low-bush
cranberries, all on order. This
is the first time that there has
been a market for the berries
on the outside and large ship
ments of the wild Alaska ber
ries are expected to result next
year.
A recent Noma dispatch report
ed that a Stimson plane of the
Alaska Airways left there a
few days ago for Kotzebue
with 26 live silver and blue
foxes purchased in Wisconsin
and valued at $10,000, to start
a fur farm on the Kobuk River.
It is said to have been the
first time that live foxes hava
ben moved by plan e.
Constantine Beaver, Kusko
kwim native, convicted last
spring of first degree murder
in connection with the death of
Ignatty Necketta, another nat
ive, in a drunken brawl, was
! hanged at Fairbanks recently,
j Beaver met death calmly,
' mounting the gallows singing
i a death chant, which ended on
| ly when the trap was sprung.
j The little inhabited country
! back of Bristol Bay, over which
| the native outlaw, Klutuk, held
sway for several years, no
longer appears to hold threat
of death to trappers who vent
ure into the district. It is said
that no killings have been re
ported there during the past
year and the belief is general
along the coast that Klutuk is
no more.
The speedboat 222, or “Three
Deuces,'*' formerly owned by
Roy Olmstead, reputed boot
i leg king, has been added to the
prohibition fleet in Southeast
ern Alaska waters. The boat is
said to have maximum speed of
30 miles per hour.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By the Pastor)
“The beauty of life is to be
found Not in luxury but in
| simplicity,
In sweat of the hand, sweat of
the brow, and sweat of the
heart;
In pride of work, without
greed of gold;
In thoughts that rise above
the needs of self;
In loving kindness to one’s
fellow men.
To be honest in handicraft,
loyal in friendships, strong in
suffering and rich in laughter.
A good comrade in the work
shops of life
To such faithful servants
God will pay fair wages of
peace and joy.
Wade Crawford Barclay
