SHORT STORIES i
ABOUTALASKA
OCCURRENCES
Harry Nakagawa, a Japanese resl-1
dent of Nenana, was recently convict
ed of gambling, for which he was as
sessed $250 by Commissioner Dehn. ,
Harry paid his fine—an indication |
that the game wasn't, so bad after all.
Superintendent Snodgrass of the
government farm on the Ester road,
says that all the grain in that vicin
. ity has been threshed and that he is
ready to put the threshing machine
away for another year. He has not
been able to compile any statistics on
this year's production, but it will be
large enough to encourage even the
most pessimistic.
Robert Blakely of Fairbanks met
with an accident on the government
trail, receiving a self-inflicted wound
from a .22-caliber revolver. Blakely
had the weapon in a strap belt that
he was wearing, and it was discharged
in some unknown manner, the bullet
striking him just below the left hip,
penetrating deeply into the flesh and
making a painful wound.
Smith Bros. & McGlone, who have
just completed a clean-up on ore from
their mine on St. Patrick creek, state
that the result was highly satisfac
tory, and that the prospects for the
future are as promising as could be
desired. The clean-up was from a
continuous mill run of 272 tons of
ore, and the bullion assay showed an
average of $33.30 per ton for the en
tire run.
When the Fairbanks city council
met in special session for the purpose
of taking some official action in re
gard to keeping the present time in
effect, it found that it was without
power in the matter, and that any
ordinance it might pass for that pur
pose would conflict with federal legis
lation enacted in March, 1918. Nat
urally, under the circumstances, the
council let the matter ride.
Recent arrivals from the Tolovana .
•
country are authority for the state
ment that considerable prospecting
will be done in that camp during- the
•' winter season, in the hope of lining
up new paystreaks for future develop
ment. The population of the camp
has been considerably reduced by re
cent departures from the district, but
thosj- who remain during the winter
expect to put in a busy season, and
all are looking forward to large-scale
mining activities in the spring.
Margaret Delaney, seven-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. De
laney of Fairbanks, is declared to be
afflicted with what is known as rheu
matoid arthritis, a disease not uncom
mon with children of her age, and as (
a result the little miss had to be taken
from her class in school. Dr. De la
Vergne is the attending physician, and
in his judgment the young lady will
have to be taken to a warmer climate
before she can fully recover. As a
result of this decision the Delaney ’
family will go to California as soon
as proper arrangements can be per
fected.
Thomas Wade has filed a declara
tion of his intention to become a citi- '
zen of the United States. He is a resi
dent of Miller House, on the Circle
ttffSl. and a native of Newfoundland.
He came to Alaska in 1904 from Daw
son. Mr. Wade’s declaration bears
the number 1,000. The present form ,
being used by the naturalization of
ficers has been used since 1907. The
first number of that series was filed
in the Fairbanks court during the lat
ter part of August, 1907. In twelve
years 1,000 persons have made their
applications for first papers in the
Fairbanks office alone.. More than
one hundred others have filed through
the Ruby office.

cooked crabs or crab cocktails. Order ,

j iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii rpHE unprecedented amount
:•> CONCERNING I CP »1 1 • •
| OUR I of family washmg coming
I patrons Into our laundry recently,
| iiiiiiiiiBiiir being unusual for this time of
year, naturally excited our curi
osity as to where it all came
from, so we investigated.
In going down the names of
more than six hundred of our
regular customers, we found
that the most progressive and
up-to-date women are among
our patrons. We do not mean
that only the well-to-do women
are our customers, but we mean
the women who live in well
kept homes, who know how to
maintain them economically,
,!i!i!!Hii:!f and at the same time, how to re
| send it Heve themselves of tasks involv
InS drudgery or tending to dis
turb the equilibrium of the fam
ily home life.
We found them to be women
who have time to take an inter
est in things outside of their
homes without neglecting them,
and who employ themselves at
home in ways that are more
profitable and pleasing.
Brainy women who think out
their household problems, who
look to the future—as business
men do in their important busi
ness affairs—women who have
ig lllllliiiliilllllli llcaa \ ,
! modern done and could do a home wash
| “Y ing as good as any housewife,
I phoneT and women with plenty of
| 111111111111111 strength and energy, too.
• But above all, women who
have reasoned out that in the
long run washing done at home
or by inexperienced persons un
der unsanitary conditions, find
that the losses are more than die
gains—in money, time, comfort,
health and the attention to their
families which is the right of
every family to expect and the
joy of every right - thinking
woman to give.
You can appreciate the feel
ing of pride and satisfaction that
was ours in making such a dis
covery, yet we found, too, that
there were still a few names
that should be there, but are not.
The only excuse we could make
for them is that they have not
yet learned the advantages to
be derived in the long run by
sending the washing to an es
tablishment of over fifteen
years’ experience, that washes
and handles clothes by the most
modern, scientific and sanitary
methods — handled mostly by
strong, clean and healthy em
ployes, who are an asset to the
community—also that it is bet
ter to pay a few cents more for
the satisfaction that would be
theirs, the money they would
save by longer wear of clothes.
Begin now. Let us show that
we can do for you what we are
doing for hundreds of others.
