BROOKS RADIO STATION
HAS BEEN CLOSED
It is announced that the Brooks
radio station has been closed by order
of Falcon Joslin, the manager, and
that no more messages for Brooks
will be accepted at the local telegraph
office. Mr. Myerson, who has been
running the office for the last few
months, has closed up the station. It
is possible that the station will be
leased from Mr. Joslin by private in
terests and opened at a later date,
but nothing definite with regard to
this can be stated at present.
KANTISHNA PREPARES
TO SELL TOWN LOTS
Confident that mining activities
now in progress and contemplated in
the Kantishna country soon will at
tract a considerable number of people
to that district, the old-timers there
have laid out a townsite on Moose
creek, at the mouth of Eureka, where
locations for business places and cab
ins can be secured for a nominal sum.
The property is owned by the Quig
legs, but is being handled by Commis
sioner Herbert Wilson as agent, who
is now in Nenana for the purpose of |
shipment to the new town before the
gathering a stock of goods together for
close of navigation.
The new town, which has been
named Kantishna, is now in the midst
of the present activities in that dis
trict, the location being such as to
make certain close proximity to future
operations, insuring the permanency
of the location. In fact it is claimed
by those who know that the location
■■ —- - 1 —
is the most central that could have
been selected.
, The townsite is thirty miles from
Roosevelt, the station on the river
where supplies for the camp are land
ed during the summer. There is a
good connecting pack trail between
the two places, which eventually, the
Kantishnaites hope, will be improved
so as to permit the use*of wagons.
By the winter route the new town
is about seventy miles from the gov
ernment railroad, by way of the Sin
gleton roadhouse.
Commissioner Wilson, who also is
postmaster for the district now, hav
ing received his appointment a short
time ago, has established his head
quarters at Kantishna and will trans
act all official business there in future.
White Pass trains are being oper
ated now from the west bank of the
Skagway river, four or five miles from
Skagway, to WThitehorse. The passen
gers have to walk across a temporary
bridge to reach the train from Skag
way. The rains carried out twelve of
the bents of the seconod bridge, and
it will be some time before they are
repaired. The high water caused more
damage to the White Pass than it had
ever before sustained from this cause.
Inquiry is made through the office
of Governor Riggs by John R. Saun
ders of Great Mills, Md., for his son,
Randolph Saunders, who was in
Alaska when his father last heard of
him, eighteen years ago. Randolph
U. Saunders is 48 years of age, has
biown ’eyes and dark hair, is left
handed, and is a paperhanger by trade.
Anyone knowing him will oblige his
aged father by writing him at Great
Mills, Md.

Constructive Salesmanship Is Largely to
Determine Progress of World
By GEORGE N. PEEK, Formerly of War Industries Board
No real salesman need have any misgivings as to his status after the
war. Spurious salesmanship, the black art of commercial demagoguery,
which has flourished in America in times past, will be swept away, along
with much other debris of an age of ruinous competition; but there will
be greater opportunities than ever for the salesman who has thoroughly
mastered his profession. The progress of the world for the next several
years will be largely determined by the constructive salesman.
One might sell a motorcycle to a savage after a bona fide demonstra
tion of what it can do; but if he did not educate the savage first it would
be wise not to return to that territory again. It is a crime against civili
zation to sell anything anywhere, even though the thing be sold at cost
or below, if the selling is not accompanied by actual service.
The great achievement of the war, next to destroying autocracy, was
the elimination of things useless from our industrial life. But this very
elimination necessitates the retention of all useful processes. Instead of
finding that his job has vanished the constructive salesman should know
that the things which have hindered him in the past are being swept away
and that the world is inviting him to his greatest possible achievement
