GlfES GOOD
ADVICE
H. P. King, of Valdez, who is visit
ing Cordova friends, is a staunch sup
porter of .Judge Wickersham for dele
gate to congress, and he says that his
town will give the delegate a good
plurality. United States Senator W.
L«. .Tones, of Washington, shows the
value of returning Wickersham to
congress in the following letter he
sent to Mr. King:
"You are at liberty to use my let
ter in any wav yon deem wise to oro
mote the success of Judge Wicker
sham. The letter was not written
with a view to publicity. If it had
been I would have made it much
stronger and gone more fully into the
Work that Judge Wickersham has
1 I,-.,., nn„p,(u,l mill. 1.1m
gladly in many ways. No man could
have been more earnest and active
in looking after Alaska’s affairs, and
in mj judgment, no one could have
acted more effectively than Judge
Wickersham. His experience will be
of immeasurable value in the future.
Alaska should have the benefit of
his experience, as well as the benefit
of Judge Wickersha’s earnestness,
energy and ability.
"I say this solely in the interest of
the people of Alaska, and not with re
ference to Jud"0 Wickershatn’s poli
tics. 1 propose to do everything in
my power to promote the best inter
ests of Alaska, and will heartily co
operate with anyone you may send
here, but 1 feel that more can be ac
aec published in conjunction with
Judge Wickersham than anyone else
that you could send here at the pre
sent time."

SKILLED LABDR
BERLIN, Nov. 3, — There 1b a big
demand for skilled laborers in the coal
and iron industries, in machinery
shops of almost all descriptions, in
the chemical trade, and even in ship
building, In some of these industries
production is necessarily restricted be
low the requirements of the market
by reason of the scarcity of laborers.
Large numbers of the 1,650,000 pris
oners of war have been put to work
in various capacities, and this has
tended to relieve the pressure for
help. Most of these men fall, of
course, under the category of unskilled
labor, this being especially the case
with the Russians, who constitute the
great majority of prisoners of war;
but considerable numbers of them
have been found serviceable workmen
in coal mines, in some of the work
of iron companies, and other Indus
trial callings. Probably most of them,
however, have found employment on
farms, where they have contributed
largely toward relieving the felt scar
city of labor. Women are also every
where dong much of the work done
by men before the war.
The railway traffic indicates that
the volume of business keeps remark
ably close to the standard set before
the war began, despite the great
shrinkage in shipments for or from
foreign trade. The same thing is in
dicated by the clearing house receipts,
but in a less marked degree. While
the Bourse is officially closed, trading
Rtill goes on without the publication
of a quotation list, and this trade re
flects a considerable degree of con
fidence. The successes of the Eng
lish and French on the Somme are re
garded in fincial circles as far less
than what might have been expected
under all the circumstances; and al
though the Russians have succeeded
in making much greater headway than
the other allies, the Bourse has not
yet deemed it necessary to take a pes- ke
simistic view on the changes on either e.
front. Trading indeed has been light —
for some weeks, but that was chiefly mm
due to certain restrictions adopted by
the managing committee in June, pre
cisely for the purpose of checking
what was regarded as an excessive
amount of speculation. Throughout
the spring, a great wave of bull specu
lation was in progress, due partly to
optimistic views of the military situ
ation, but still more to the fact that
industrial companies were then pub
lishing their annual reports showing
for the most part considerable in
creases in dividends.
The money market is now easier
than it was in the spring. The rate
of call money is about 3 to 3 1-2 per
cent, which corresponds to the abun- —
dant supplies offered. The rates of
foreign exchange are now tending
j against Germany, though they have
| not yet reached the high levels
touched last spring.

The Range With a Reputation
Great Majestic
There Is as much difference in Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un dcrstand why one Is cheap at the
price, and another is dear at any price. See the MAJESTIC display
