Nome papers report the presence of
quantities of ermine or white weasies
in the vicinity of the city, and -which

of the animals.

Queets river. Some two hundred for

coal at Nome would carry the resi
dents through the winter, in early
December a shortage was apparent,

with through the winter. The Nome
papers report that the supply of fuel
will b^ barely sufficient to carry the
town until the first boat in the sum
mer.

bined. Paladium at the present time

an# is worth $145 per ounce. The
Saltchuck output nets $135 per ounce.
John Carlson, who is chopping wood
on tower Qoldstream, had a peculiar
and painful experience a short time
ago, although all that is left of this
mysterious accident is a discoloration
under one eye. Carlson was cutting
wood, and in broad daylight, shortly
before noon, when suddenly he was
sfTuck a terrific blow across the froe
Kead, knocking him into the snow,
where he lay unconscious for twenty
minutes. Luckily the weather was
very mild at the time. When he came
to he made his way to his cabin, be
ing alone, dizzy with pain in the head,
which kept him from sleeping for two
nights. The whole upper part of his
head was swollen so that he was un
able to see. As soon as he was able
he visited the scene of the accident
but was unable to find out what hit
him, find the matter is still a mystery
to him.

SUPPOSE
there were no churches in this city;
no preachers, no moral restraining
force that the churches quietly exer
cise, no Sunday schools, no instruc
tion of children in righteousness, no
presentation of divine authority. The
situation is unthinkable, but if the
churches had only such support as
you give—time and money—would
they persist? Take another look at
the things you esteem greatest in life.
The organized churches need the sup
port of every man and woman in this
city and valley. Won’C you go to the
church of your choice Sunday? We
want you to help us build a more ef
fective church in this community.

Add Ten Hours of Leisure to j
Your Week j
\ • i
6
Time, a wise man said, is -
a>
I something that can neither be
added to nor subtracted from.
Yet we can add ten hours
| of leisure to your week with
| our Family Laundry Service.
| This is not the usual laundry
| service—it is, rather, a special
f service that we have developed to
1 meet your special washday needs,
f We take your entire wash
ing. We cleanse everything—
) all without rubbing. By our
I method soft water and fluffy
suds bubble through your
clothing much in the same way
as they do when you souse
| and rinse your daintier things
| in a wash bowl. Then we dry
I them, without wringing, in warm
pure air, imparting to them the
| much desired freshness.
I All the flat pieces, like bed
f linen, tablecloths, pillowslips and
f napkins, we iron beautifully—
m
you will enjoy displaying them ?
to your guests.
The children’s dresses, your J
own skirts and shirtwaists, and |
such other things as need it,
# 5
we starch, ready for you to iron. \
But the amount of ironing I
we leave for you is slight, for
our drying process is such that |
many things, like under gar- |
ments, can be worn immediate
ly, without ironing. |
Then we deliver your pack- I
age—invitingly clean—deliver j
it to you at a definite time each
week. In short, we do ten §
hours of the work of washday
for you—we give you ten hours §
leisure for less laborious things. |
Let us acquaint you better
with this service. The cost of I
Z
this modem laupdry service is |
slight. Telephone and we will
have our driver call for your
family bundle. |
