SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
The Seward chamber of commerce
has appointed a special committee to
take up the matter of immigration
rates on the steamship lines, to en
courage settlers coming north and
special rates on the government rail
road, not only for settlers but for
their stock and implements.
^ ,T. A. Moore, long in the service of
*the United States land department of
the government, much of the time in
Alaska, has resigned, and will here
after engage in private business. He
has several positions open to him, I
and has about decided to accept one
of them, which will take him to Port
land to live. Mr. Moore is well and
favorably known to pioneer residents
of Anchorage, as he was the first
townsite manager there.
The majority of the former Alas
kans in the states are looking toward
the northland, and in most cases
would return, if they had the where
withal to purchase the necessary fare.
From all indications many will come j
back shortly, as the bottom has drop- j
ped out of the inducements that led :
them away.
That Chatanika will make quite a
respectable showing before the end of
the^poming summer compared to
other years—despite the fact that so
many people have been compelled to
quit those isolated diggings during
the past two years to wait for more
favorable conditions for mining gold,
is the general opinion of the numer
ous Brooks people visiting Fairbanks.
Fur is arriving in the Iditarod dis
trict from the Kuskokwim, but prac
tically nothing is being trapped in
the immediate neighborhood. Mink '
ermine and fox make up the bulk of !
the shipments received.
It is reported that the roadhouses
along the Seward-Iditarod trail have
advanced the prices of meals. The
cost of transportation of freight over
a little used trail and the loss of the
mail, which is now routed to Fair
banks, are given as the principal
causes.
* Ptarmigan are exceedingly numer- i
ous around Flat, and hunting is the
* chief diversion, when weather per
mits.
A late arrival from Fairbanks
creek reports that judging from the
large numbed of ptarmigan making
their appearance on the upper end '
of that creek, those birds are coming j
back again. No grouse are reported j
from that vicinity.
The quota of $1,500,00 to be raised
by the interior for the American
Mining Congress Gold Legislation
campaign fund is not being pledged
as readily as had been hoped for by
the Fairbanks commercial club.
Only a few of the mine owners and
operators, who will directly benefit
by the legislation, have come for
ward with their subscriptions.

As a successful business man you are directly interested |
in efficiency—in overhead costs. You are quick to adopt |
proven methods which reduce operating costs and the la
bor of your employes—men and women. |
Being busy you can not be expected to supervise the
work in the home, but a little thought on the wash-day
problems of the wife might prove interesting. As you
are by nature more inclined to figures, it will pay you to
consider this problem and compare costs.

Besides the saving of more them $4 a month m money, |
consider the saving to you and your wife of her beauty,
youthfulness, patience and her health, which are inesti
mable. For these reasons, and for your own comfort, this
question DEMANDS the attention of every husband and
father.
When you figure this home washing question from the
standpoint of dollars, health, comfort and happiness, it is |
absolutely false economy for your wife to continue doing
her own washing, or even having it done at home. Re- |
lieve her of this work and worry of wash day—take the
initiative. Call up Phone 66 and our MR. LONG will
gladly call on you and explain prices and our system. g
