(’.Iris, go to Alaska.
That Is, If von want a husband!
Also, maybe you have visions of
pioneering. If so. Alaska is the place.
§ According to statistics. Alaska of
fers more chances for the unmarried
of the species feminine than any coun
* try in the world.
Think of it. girls! You can take
5 along a lorgnette and give 'em "the
once over." and if you don't like 'em
you can go to another city or village
where there are other eligibles. Some
where in Alaska you will be sure to
realize your ideal.
linagim the joy of thinking to your
self that >011 would like a blonde type
of six foot manhood, with a lion like
heart and i face like a (Ireek god —
and have him materialize before your
eyes!
Maybe you like 'em dark—and there
you are!
Possibly von don't care for looks.
I preferring homely men—the woods
jiare full of them
j Then, again, if you are looking for
lability- well, if the men of Alaska
have not ability of one kind or an
jotlier they don't stay in Alaska.
Possibly you want them to have all
:;|the at Tributes of perfection — spirit
:||Ually, mentally and physically — in
•J which case you may find them in
t: A laska.
] There was once a ship that brought
ja group of women to Virginia — and
| this Alaska inducement is cut along
I the same general lines,
j Seriously, though, there is one liiing
in general that men do not know, and
that is that women are adventurers,
and nine out of ten of them have the
pioneer spirit.
Pioneering is one of the things that
the women of the twentieth century,
tliis day and date, regret not having
had a chance in which to display their j
talents. |
Rvery girl, front the most, frivolous
I to the most staid and studious, is sure
in Iter heart that she could have done
a better job at pioneering than her
grandmother or great grandmother.
There is something about the ro
mance. the danger, the ris"k and the
hardships connected with breaking
ground and assisting in the founding
of it new commonwealth that appeals
to the feminine heart, as well its the
J masculine.
Today, when an elderly woman tells
of her encounter with Indians in
" crossing the plains or dramatically
pictures "the time when the water
gave out and there was no food."
every young woman within earshot
I w ishes she had a chance at something
like that.
j So Alaska Is sure to make an appeal j
|to (hose of a pioneering disposition.
Also there are the husbands to be
thrown in.
Whenever anything is said these,
days about marriage the bugaboo of
economic conditions and finances gen
erally conies poking its head around i
the corner and looks the man and the j
maid in the eye—but in Alaska, ac
cording to the advertisements, oondi- J
tions are hard but fascinating — and
there are a lot of young folk today
who honestly feel that life is too soft
for them in the cities.
Again and again one hears a girl i
say:
•‘Oh. dear, ! wisli 1 had to begin
at the beginning of things like my
grandmother did. She did not have
electric lights, but neither did she
have to keep up a front us we do to
day and a limousine is a tasty lit
_ tie contrivance — but it surely does j
make for fatness. Besides, my grand-j
I mother worked beside her husband—-j
land now the men won't marry the]
girls unless they have made a stake j
first.”
Do you think this girl an exception?
Not at all—the cities are filled with
them.
Oh, yes, there are the other kind,
too—the kind who won’t marry the
man they really care for—because be
has not a machine and a house with
bric-a-brac, etc., etc.
But the pioneering spirit Is in the
womanhood or today just the same as
it lias always been — and given the
opportunity the modern young worn- ,
an will prove herself exactly as cap- j
able of enduring hardships as her
mother or grandmother. s
And Alaska is about the only place ,
left under the Stars and Stripes where
[doneering is possible—or where a (
woman may pick her husband from f
any type she likes.
However, this is not an advertise- ,
I
ment. for Alaska — it is merely writ
ten for the benefit of those who want
husbands—but have failed.
Also for those who want to ti-nl
their mettle as pioneers. —- Grace
Wilcox, in I-os Angeles Tribune.
DRUMMERS TO PAY FOR EXCESS

The traveling men who represent
outside wholesale houses in Alaska
are doing some tall hustling just at I
present to cover as much 'territory!
as possible before February {?>. Dur
ing the present year the commercial
men have enjoyed the privilege of
checking their excess baggage on
their tickets irrespective of the mini
her or weight of their sample cases.
A new order, whereby the same rule j
will apply to them as to ordinary j
travelers, will go into effect on the j
steamers of the Alaska Steamship ^
Company on and after February 1", 4

I’KKINd, I'i'li. It Chinese news
papers are insistent that Japan -should
immediately deport Sun Yat Sen. and
ihe other Chinese revolutionary lead
■is living in Japan, thus removing one
of the causes for the general suspi
cion in China that Japan is encourag
ing the revolutionaries.
The Peking Daily News, which is
semi-official in character, reviews all
the recent disturbances in China in
an editorial, and expresses the opiu
ion that Japan cannot right herself *
in the eyes of the Chinese public i
without checking the work of the ene
mies of the Chinese government‘oper
ating in Japanese territory.

PAN-ALASKA CLUB IS BEING
Urged im bj what is considered a
necessity, the Nome Chamber of Com
merce is starting a campaign for the
organization of a Pan-Alaskan organi
zation, the purpose of which shall be j
to further the interests of all towns
and sections of the territory. Com
munications have been sent forward
to all commercial bodies throughout
the territory, asking co-operation in
the formation of such an organization.
For many months the people of
Nome have had under consideration
a plan, but it was not until a meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce was held
that it was decided to take definite
steps toward the formation of the ter
ritorial organization.
