SELLS BUSINESS
GOES TO STATES
NENANA, Aug. 26.—After a con
tinuous residence of more than a
score of years in interior Alaska J.
A. Slippern, pioneer builder and con
tractor of Nenana, is headed for the
outside, perhaps to remain there. Mr.
Slippern disposed of all of his stock
and machinery and is going to south
ern California prepared to remain
K there, providing the outside agrees
with him.
Mr. Slippern came north in 1900
and has been located in practically
all the worth-while camps, including
Fairbanks, Ruby, Iditarod, Brooks and
lastly Nenana. He located here when
the town was first established and has
been a moving spirit in business and
fraternal circles, and a veteran mem
ber of the Nenana school board.
The oldtimer will go to Los Angeles
where the other members of the Slip
pecjg family have resided for some
time past. He leaves Nenana with the
best wishes of the entire community.
Judge Jennings recently issued an
order authorizing the liquidation of
the affairs of the Alaska Investment
and Trust Company preparatory to
winding up the affairs of the defunct
institution. The receiver was also
authorized to sell property, both per
sonal and real, sufficient to pay the
iudebtness of the company.
George Hering, city editor of the
Fairbanks News-Miner, was a passen
ger on the Yukon, bound for the Uni
versity °f Washington. He was ac
' companied by his sister Muriel, who
plans to spend several months in the
states and may decide to go to school
in Seattle.
The last American freight brought
by Canadian vessels to Gastineau
Channel points or in fact any Auas
kan port with the exception of Skag
way, was brought north on the Prin
cess Mary last month.
The new shipping bill prohibits
Canadian vessels from bringing any
freight originally in the United States
to any port in Alaska. - The last of
the freight that started on its way
previous to the signing of the bill
arrived on the Princess Mary. Other
shipments were diverted to Seattle
and came north on American boats.
The only freight that Canadian
boats can now bring is freight hav
ing its origin in Canada and freight
that is bonded through Skagway to
Yukon river ports on Canadian soil.
It is anticipated that the restric
tion will cause some articles used in
coast mines that have been in the
past routed from the eastern part of
the United States through Canada and
then north by the C. P. R., to cost
more as the Canadian lines quoted a
lower rate for through shipments.

MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. 27.—Main
tenance work on the Rocky Mountain
division of the Northern Pacific rail
road is being retarded considerably by
a shortage of sections hands, ac
i
cording to the officials of the road,i

PREPARES FOR
BIG CLEANUP
MARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. 27.—A
movement, suggested when Judge
John S. Coke appeared before the city
council and made declaration that
Marshfield was in one respect a very
backward city and needed a general
cleaning up before it would ever be
considered a good residence town, has
taken form and will be pushed to the
limit by the citizens in general.
Judge Coke mentioned in particular
the street upon which he lives and
said it was one over which traffic
cannot be had, and beside the street
being in miserable condition, the side
walks are rotted out and the whole
thoroughfare needed reconstructing.
The local Elks lodge has essayed
to assist the campaign for betterment
in the appearance of streets and res
idence lots and will conduct the cam
paign beginning at once.

Back-to-School
Days
In a few days, the school bell, after many
weeks of silence, will be tolling forth the
summons, *Back to school. To mother,
it will mean the beginning of more work and
less help around the house.
Clothes to be gotten into shape—youngsters to be dressed and
fussed over—little folks too busy and excited to be of much use
to mother.
Fortunately for mother, she has no longer to worry about the
clean clothes problem—each week she is sending her family wash
to us. The time once given to slaving over the wash-tub and
wrestling with heavy boilers and baskets, are now devoted to
better care of the children and the home.
The spic-and-spanness so noticeable in school children today
is a laundry product. Why not YOU give yourself and the kiddies
the benefit of it. A minute at the phone will do the work.
