ANCHORAGE HAS BIG FAIR
! Hundreds of people thronged the
main building of the Western Alas
ka fair begining September 7 and
erhibits and heard speeches and mu
sical programs which opened the
third annual fair.
In giving the first address of the
I evening, D. H. Williams, manager of
the fair told how early in 1924, the
Anchorage Woman’s Club planned
an exhibition of Juvenile works for
the encouragement of gardening and
the manual arts among the children
of Anchorage. When it was found
that public interest outran a mere
juvenile exhibition, the Chamber of
Commerce joined forces with the
woman’s club, forming the Western
Alaska Fair Association which
sponsored its first annual fair in the
fall of 1924. Since that time the
fair has made a steady growth each
year. Making another step forward,
the main fair building was purchas
ed for $7,500. Land has been loan
j fed by the government and individ
uals for other buildings, which have
! been built this near. Continuing,
j Mr. Williams pointed out the advan
tages the fair could give fox farmers
and fur buyers. He told of how a
fox farmer exchange and market
could be started giving the buyers
an opportunity to buy his furs with
out making expensive trips to the
farms and the farmer bringing in
his stock for sale and disposing of
them at a good price at auction or
private sale.. —Anchorage Times.
It would appear from the general
report of the first evening that Dan
Sutherland who officially opened the
fair had less of a speech than other
■ lesser lights who were given consid
erable more news-space.
I But then, some editors seem to
lelieve that advertising for candi
dales consists In distorting news,
giving incorrect reports or ignoring,
while on the other hand it appears
that considerabel paid advertising
goes in editorial columns but as
paid advertising. “Let your con
science be your guide.

In the September number of
Hunter Trader and Trapper there is
a brief account of the Sand Creek
massacre by Col. Chivington, Maj.
Anthony and nearly 900 soldiers.
In this blood lust rampage more
ttken 100 women and children of
a peaceful village of Cheyennes and
Arapahoes were slow tortured and
mutilated and revoltingly assaulted
to death. This horrible butchery,
along with the savage cruelty at the
Washita camp four years later, the
Wounded Knee throat cutting, still
later, must be what Troy-eleven
ounces—alluded to when he warbled
the following:
“If the Indians would consider
situation calmly they would realize
tnat they have been progressing
finely under the government the
white people have been giving
them.”
Troy—eleven ounces— is of the
same stamp as those so-called offic
ers and men who ran amuck before.
He is one of the mouth pieces of a
seif appointed bunch of narrow
politicians who want nothing out of
the common herd but its votes and
its money be they white or Indian.

When Aimee Semple McPherson
pulled off her bathing stunt on a
California ocean beach on, or about
May 15, she dipped her tootsy-woot
sies into something much more
t-ticky and smelly than sea water.
Not so long ago it was the proper
caper to publish, occasionally, a
column or so of so-called statistics
to prove—or try to prove—that the
rational wealth was a general thing
being more widely distributed. Sta
tistics aren’t appetizing at best. Few
readers pay much attention to the
rows of figures, nor estimations, nor
financial reports bearing on big
business. To those who do take an
interest, the following fragments of
the report of the Federal Trade
commission may set them thinking.
“One percent of the population
owns nearly three-fifths of the na
tional wealth.” “The totai wealth
of the nation is approximately 353
billions f dollars. In the matter of
estates the commission reaches the
conclusion that: “about 13 percent
of the decendants owned 90 percent
of the wealth.” “More widely dis
tributed” is right—through the
small end of the funnel into fewer
pockets.
So far as spies are concerned, this
region is fast growing worse than
was Russia in the hey-day of the
Czars. Here, there, everywhere
there are snoopers, peepers, pussy
footers, gumshoers, keyholders,
eavedroppers and priers. They
shadow you, they ride beside you,
tney look over your shoulder.
They are smelling your breath,
they’re fumbling in your pockets.
They walk with you, they travel
with you, they look at you through
knot holes, they peek at you around
corners. They sniff at your foot
prints, they trail you by night. The
word “rotten” is going out of date
because it isn’t strong enough any
more to voice modern conditions in
federalism, and the average gum
ehoer is so far beyond rotten that a
new word will have to be coined to
fit him, or her, or it. If the country
has gotten to that turn of the high
way where it can’t go farther with
out the despicable horde of bipeds,
it is better to turn back to a side
path of readjustment.

Both refine Union Oil products. The one was an experiment
of fearless oil pioneers—the other, which now turns out Union
Gasoline and Aristo Motor Oil—is the result of research and
development covering four decades.
VT1 OU say that you can’t tell the
difference in gasoline — that
is, that the difference is so slight
that it is hard to distinguish it.
But there is a difference in good
gasolines. And there is a way in
which you can judge the fuel you
give your motor.
You can find out how long and
how well it has stood the test of
the years.
Time has a habit of weeding
out all the unprogressive, ineffi
cient things which cannot “make
the grade.”
An article has to be good to
stand the test of time.
And this is true of non-deto
nating Union Gasoline.
When you buy Union Oil
products you get
confidence from
the knowledge that
Union has been re
fining since the first
refineries on the
Coast turned out gas
oline for the first
crude automobiles
over twenty-five
years ago.
Even before that, when the few
struggling California plants were
not making gasoline Union Oil
Company were refiners of kero*
sene and naptha, the popular
commodities of pre-auto days.
The first refinery in the West
was a crude little one still affair
built by the Hardison and Stewart
Company (which a few years
later became Union Oil Com*
pany) at Santa Paula in 1887.
Almost forty years ago—and
now there are seven huge Union
Oil refineries. In each of them
scientists and chemists are ever at
work with painstaking care test
ing each step in the process of
refining.
These four decades of research
secure ior you ine
greatest improvement
in the quality of the
gasoline that is avail*
able for you from the
grey and red pumps of,
Union Oil Company,
a company whose
main aim and greatest
wish is to serve you to
the best of its ability.
