BIG MIKE SULLIVAN
HAS HIS LITTLE JOKE
That "Rig Mike” Sullivan, who re
turned recently from a visit to Se
attle, was still suffering from mal tie
liter when his ship touched at Juneau
is the belief of his friends here. On
no other theory can they account for
the modesty of the tale he told to a
Juneau Empire reporter. Had he
been his noflmal self, they say, he
would have made the newspaper man
believe that he led the charge of the
marines at Chateau Thierry, that he
captured single-handed the machine
gun nests of the Argonne forest, or
that he was the commander of the
famous “lost brigade,” who, surround
ed by hordes of Huns, met a demand
for surrender with the curt invitation
to “Go to h—
The yarn as given by the Empire
man is as follows:
“ 'Big Mike’ Sullivan, prominent
throughout the territory as a hotel
man and a Republican politician,
passed through Juneau last night on
the Admiral Farragut on his way to
Cordova, where he has been making
his home for the last few years.
"Mr. Sullivan answered the call to
arms-and has been with the American
forces in Europe, in the transporta
tion department.
“'Ain 1 glad to get back?’ he re
plied in answer to friends who met
him at the dock. 'Is a captive bird
glad to get out and fly? Well, I guess
yes. There is no place like Alaska.
’ " 'And now that the war is over,
you just watch Alaska grow. All eyes
are turned in this direction again.
With a few of the rough-locks placed
on the territory by the faddists and
so-called conservationists removed,
this Northland will come into its own.
Some of us old-timers will yet see our
dreams come true. With the necessary
capital and population, and sensible
legislation allowing legitimate de
velopment, you can no more hold back
the development of Alaska than you
could sweep back Niagara falls with
an old woman’s broom.’ ”
WRECKED BOOZ BOAT
HAS BE LIBELED
*
.N'els Anderson has filed a suit for
libel against the launch Myrtle H.
with Deputy Clerk of Court Thomas
Scott. This boat is owned by W. H.
Lewis and while en route from Ket
chikan to Cordova, under charter, it
was wrecked in English bay, off
Hinchiribrook island. Captain John
son came to Cordova and reported
that he had a prospecting party aboard
iind while cruising about had met with
the accident. It was later learned,
however, that the Myrtle H. was load
ed with booze, most of which had been
stolen while those in charge of the
boat were in town.
Anderson entered into a contract
to salvage the Myrtle H. and after
considerable trouble and expense it
was brought to Cordova. Being un
able to secure a satisfactory settle
ment he has libeled the boat.

Quite a stir was caused in MEN’S TRADE during January by
some manufacturers announcing a reduction of prices in some
lines. The result was that the merchants became puzzled as to what
course they should pursue with stocks on hand which were bought
at high prices.
The reasons for this are now very plain. Some merchants
had been speculating, others were long on certain lines which
they wished to turn into cash. With very few exceptions the mar
ket on woolen and cotton goods continues very firm.
One of the above exceptions is Denim, which is used in the
manufacture of OVERALLS, and we are glad to announce the
following changes in our Overall prices:
Fink’s Tan Jumper, $3.00; new price ... $2.25
Fink’s Best Blue Jumper, $3.00; new price .. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Bib Overall, $3.00; new price. .. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Waist Overall, $2.25; new price. 2.00
Ever wear Blue Bib Overall, special ..... 2.00
We also have a few EXTRA SPECIALS which are well I
worth your inspection.
One lot of Gray Wool Sox, 75c; new price, 50c.
Two odd lines of Stanfield Underwear, that sold for $3.50
and $4.00; now $2.75.
One line of $10.00 Stag Shirts, heavy, all wool, double shoul
ders and back, while they last, $7.50.
