The rousing mass meeting held in Anchorage last night to
ratify the action of the local Republican Club in nominating
lion.’.lames Wickerslmm for Delegate to Congress from Alaska
and also in repudiating the boss methods adopted in controlling
the recent Seward convention showed very conclusively that the
voters of Cook Inlet are heartily in favor of the re-election of
Judge Wickersham as our representative at Washington. '1 he
hall was crowded with enthusiastic people who appreciate the
good already accomplished at the national capital by the dele
gate and desire hi- retention in office.
A number of well-known speakers addresssed the meeting
and the eloquence and force with which they urged the voters
t0 rally to the >upport of Wickersham cannot help but fie pro
ductive of lesults at the November election They reviewed the
jeeord of the delegate, which is one of accomplishment and re
dounds to his credit.
The direct primary law was also endorsed with a special
plea to the voters to support only those candidates for the terri
torial legislative who would work and vote for this bill, which
will be introduced at the next session ot Alaska s lav-makers.
WORLD S GREATEST WOMAN FINANCIER.
Mr*. Ilettv Green, who died the other day at Iier home in
New York, was a woman of purpose. She aspired to be the rich
est woman in the world. Her love for piling up dollars domin
ated the thought and action of her entire career. She gave up
society, quarreled with her family, antagonized her business as
sociates. lived miserly, made money and talked religion. She
died a tremendously wealthy woman, but not the richest in the
world.
Mrs. Green’s fortune exceeded $100,000,000. How much it
exceeded that is not now known. Both Mrs. Marshall field and
Mrs. E. II. I landman possess greater wealth than that. Neither
of the last named however, built up their fortunes. Mrs. Green
added more than $90,000,000 to the $10,000,000 her parents left
her. Before she got the $10,000,000 she had built up quite a
comfortable fortune of her own from the neueleus of a $-5 sav
ings account deposited to her credit by her father.
Xno one ever questioned that Hetty Green was the world’s
greatest woman financier. As such she reigned supreme for
fifty of her eighty odd years. She was Hetty Howland Robin
son, of New Bedford, Mass., where she was horn Nov. 21, 1835.
Her parents were of old New England stock, tracing their an
cestors back to the Mayflower.
From the moment Hetty Robinson got the $25 savings ac
count until the moment of her death the accumulation of money
was the ruling passion of her life.
In the early days of her career, when she was a society
belle and heiress of New York. Saratoga and Newport, she lived
fashionably and luxuriously. Even then, however, she inter
spersed her social activities with frequent visits to her father’s
'•ount'ng rooms becoming Eventually his secretary and financial
adviser’. Market reports and investments became a mania with
her. Slu1 read, thought, talked and dealt with little else. It
was upon her advice, gained from her study of conditions, that
her father invested in t 'liicago real estate in the early days, later
netting $5,000,01)0 profit from the venture.
Personally Ilettv Green was very eccentric. She always
went to her olliee and worked on her birthday. She thought
the wasting of a whole day on anything but busines> was a
cu ime. Her favorite odd habit was to boil an onion every day
and carry a piece of it around in her pocket, nibbling it while
-lie worked. She did this regularly for nearly a quarter of a
century. Each day—she walked usualy to save carfare—she
appeared at her office in the Chemical National Bank in New
5 ork. There she made the kings of finance bow to her. She
loaned them ready cash, of which she always had plenty, on
only the most gilt-edged securities and at the highest possible
rate of interest of which she never failed to exact, from them,
the utmost farthing. In reply to a Chicago minister who write
her that she would be lost to heaven if she insisted on her money
from a $50,000 mortgage on his church, she said: “You had
better pray for my soul then, because I’m going to foreclose
within thirty days,’’ and she did. « --
Examples ol her methods are numberless, but one is typical
ot them all. Once a New York banking house that had served
her faithfully for 20 years and to which at one time her hus
band had been indebted for many thousands of dollars, was
threatened with failure. She rushed to the office and demanded
the $475,000 she had on deposit, as well as the millions in securi
ties that were held for her. She was told that such a withdraw
al meant failure for the bank and ruin to thousands of deposit
ors. But she did not leave
bank went to the wall.
To avoid paying taxes
maintained a legal residence"
taxed on more than $100,000
The above are example:
In little matters the same s
' "r last penny was paid. The
nnous wealth, she always
■ t. There she never was
rsimony in big matters.

The Itesult of Experience.
The other day a gentleman who ;
writes a good deal told me that after
having tried one fountain pen after
another he has finally selected the
“Waterman Ideal” as the best pen
on the market for service and qual
ity. There’g a reason.
Improving the Ordinary Way.
The difference between work done
Hie ordinary way and that done in a
scientific way is often very great.
Several years ago motoring
through southern California I saw
two fruit orchards—one the result
of an orchard planted in the ordi
nary way, the other, judging front
appearance, planned in a scientific
manner, each tree several feet apart
planted in parallel rows with special
preparation of the soil. It was al
most picking time, the trees were ;
weighted down with fruit, and it
seemed as if the second orchard hatt
more than several times the quanti
ty of fruit, and the fruit looked big
ger besides.
As I looked I thought of the re
markable difference between the two
orchards. I thought of thousands
upon thousands of acres of fruits
and corn and wheat that are planted
and cultivated in an ordinary way,
and of how vastly the yield might
be increased by the use of more sci
entific methods. Than I thought ot
all the many business enterprises
that are being conducted in the ordi
nary way, and of the greater results
which might be obtained if they were
conducted on a more thorough, sys
tematic and intelligent plan. To the
public it would mean better service,
better prices, better quality—and in
no other business can it be demon
strated than in the modern drug
store. This is the policy I pursue
in conducting my drug stores in An
chorage and Juneau. In trading
with us, you are assured of the very
best in stock and service.
