Miss Grace Fisher has been appoint
ed chief deputy clerk in the office of
the clerk of the court at Fairbanks.
Dick Thorne, Fairbanks movie mag-,
nate, has received notice of his ap- (
pointment as Alaska representative of
the Fox Film News, a weekly picture
service similar to the Pathe.
According to information received in
Fairbanks, Thomas Jackson, a former
■well-known mining operator of the In
terior, recently passed away in Se
attle. Mr. Jackson was in the mining
game both in Fairbanks and Iditarod
districts. He went to the States about
a year ago for his health.
Rev. W. A. Thomas, who arrived in
Nenana several days ago from the Arc
tic, where he was stationed last win
ter. is now en route to Fort Yukon
to take up the winter work of Arch
deacon Hudson Stuck, visiting the
scattered Episcopal missions through
out the Interior. The archdeacon
will spend the winter in the States.
Recent arrivals from Brooks tell of
the uncovering of fairly good pay on
Lucky gulch, that camp. Lucky gulch
Is a small tributary coming in at the
head of Livengood creek, and the pay
was found in the benches thereon. The
paystreak is not wide, but it is wide 1
enough to encourage the prospectors.
Much prospecting will be done there
this winter, and they have hopes of
finding a greater and wider paystreak.
J. Foulke and James Dunning, hunt
ers from New Zealand, who have been
on Kenai peninsula for the past two '
months, accompanied by their guides,
George Cotter and Jack Lean, have
returned - to Seward. The hunters
had splendid luck, securing the quota
of trophies, but were unfortunate in
losing the greater part of the results <
of the hunt. Coming up Kenai, the
tow line of the boat containing the
trophies broke, the boat was swamped, j
and the trophies, with the exception j
of those carried in a launch, were lost. [
The hunters brought back several
sheep heads and one moose head with
a spread of antlers of 68% inches. The
other moose trophy, with a spread of
70 inches, was one of the trophies
lost.

It happened at 1:15 p. m. October ^
15. Old Mother Earth humped her
back and shook like a Wild West
show, seemingly in the attempt to
buck everybody in Our Town off her
back. In the upper stories of the
more-than-one-story buildings in town
it looked as though the building might *
fall, but the people hung on, and
Mother Earth had to quit shaking. It
■was probably the worst earthquake
Fairbanks has ever experienced.
When the people came down town
in the morning, in the weather that <
was suspiciously with us then, they
knew that something would happen
before the day ended, but most of
them expected it to be in the shape of
rain. Instead of that it was an earth
quake.—Fairbanks News-Miner. .
E. Struther Bunch, for several years
engaged in newspaper work at Fair
banks, and his wife, Miss Daphne Pol
lard, the actress, made a big clean-up
in England and are returning to the
United States, according to Seattle *
papers. The Seattle Times tells the
story like this:
“After a season of tremendous suc
cess in England and establishing her
self as a favorite in musical reviews
in London, Daphne Pollard is sailing <
for home October 18 on the Maure
tania.
“The dainty little Seattle actress
and her Seattle husband, E. Struther
Bunch, have annexed a bank roll all
out of proportion to their size during (
their stay in dear old London.
“It is understood that Miss Pollard
will shortly be seen in a new produc
tion in New York.”

OLD TURKISH TRADE UNIONS *•
__ ’*
Guilds Formed of Members of Various :
Industrial Vocations Common
in Constantinople. •
Whatever imi.v bp the eventual gov- :
ernnient of Constantinople, tin* count- | :
less guilds or corporations created by •
members of the various industrial vo- i
cations followed by the population will •:
probably respond slowly to the change. •:
In Constantinople, says a writer on j:
Turkish life, every trade and calling •:
has its own union, many of which are •:
of long ancestry: the esnnf, or guild, J
of the shoemakers, for example, Is •:
said to have been granted power to :■
judge and punish Its own members fpr :•
public offenses as long ago as the six- :■
teenth century, in return for some :■
service which It then rendered Sulei- :■
man the Magnificent. Organized for :•
the common benefit as traders or work- :■
ers, the members of the guilds are ad- :•
mitted Irrespective of race or religion |:
so long as they follow that particular |:
occupation. The business of the or- •:
ganlzatlon Is conducted In lodges, the •:
officers of which have been held re- J
sponsible for the good behavior of •:
members. Although future conditions ij
in Constantinople will doubtless modi- i;
fy them, the esnafs will probably con- :•
tinue to be a power.

iiiiiiiuiiiiiii! rn HE unprecedented amount
CONCERNING I P P I* •
OUR I ot tamily washing coming
WOMEN 1 • , 1 l .1
patrons into our laundry recently,
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir 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'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiP and at the same time, how to re
SEND IT lieve themselves of tasks involv
iiiiiipjiiiii 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
modern done and could do a home wash
“Y ing as good as any housewife,
phoneT and women with plenty of
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 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 the
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.
