NENANA S GROWTH 13 RAPID.
While it is not an uncommon thing in this country for
towns to spring up overnight, as it were, the rapidity with
which Nenana buildings are taking form exceeds even the ex
pectat intis of those far sighted investors who put their money
into property at 1 he time of tin- lot sale. And' the growth of the
town is of a most substantial character, the majority of the
buildings now under construction having more the appearance
of permanence than frame structures usually seen in northern
towns.
The growth of the town has been remarkable in every way,
but even greater progress would have been made had the lot
sale been held a month earlier and if building material had
been more plentiful. Scores of property owners were unable to
build this year on account of unfavorable conditions, and many
of the structures and business blocks now in course of construc
tion have been greatly delayed, all of which acted as a check to
the growth of the town. But for that, Nenana today would rank
among the first cities of the territory in every respect.
These things are mentioned, not as an apology for the ab
sence of buildings that might have been, but to direct attention
to the building activity which is to be expected with the coming
of another season. The indications are that where there is one [
building now there will be at least a dozen a year hence. The
fact that sixty four permits for permanent buildings were is
sued during the first two months of the town’s existence shows
that confidence in the future of Nenana is not lacking and the
steady advance in the value1 of property is a further evidence
of solid growth.- -Nenana News.
BE COURTEOUS AND BROAD MINDED.
l! we could only keep from pettiness life in a small town
would be relieved from many of its irritations, but pettiness is
bound to ciinic when we become too familiar with each other
and pay too much attention to little local personal affairs, ft
is strange how polite we can be to a stranger and' how rude to
a person with whom we are intimate. All of us remember when
we were kids, getting chided for being rude to a sister or
brother and over nice to some other fellow’s sister. We also
remember how the polite conduct of some juvenile visitor was
held up to us as a maddening example, but we did not under
stand then that the visitor’s politeness was due to bis unfamili
aritv. The child is father to the man and the man remains a
child in many tilings. ITe forgets to be ordinarily courteous
w hen la* becomes too familiar, and if we could only all realize
how much this means in the relations of man to man and' woman
to woman we should consider courtesy a gift from heaven. —

The uniform of the Russian soldiers at the garrison of Sit
ka, Alaska, during the Russian occupation, consisted of a neck-!
lie, jiants and cloak. These articles were furnished by the mili
tary commander of Siberia. Tf the soldier needed more clothes
he had to pay for them. In contrast, the Russian armies fight
ing on the eastern war front in Europe are the best clothed sol
“* diers in the conflict. This information is contained in an article
by ('. L. Andrews on “Alaska Under the Russians,” appearing 1=
in the October number of the Washington Historical Quarterly.
Professor Edmond S. Meany, of the history department, is man

Pen Mightier
Than the
Sword.
By BREEN.
The most powerful
pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all
that newspaper advertis
ing is the foundation of
all publicity.
Now, listen. There
isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is
due to advertising.
Be a success. Adver
tise.
Advertising
An Aid to
Education.
By BREEN.
Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
There was a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries I
information. Information
is educational. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened.
Add to your education.
