mine operator, has closed down his
mill after a very successful season and
left for the states. He will resume op
erations again in the early spring.
Mrs. James Duke, a pioneer white
woman of the Nenana country, drove
the first spike on the government rail
road at that place recently. Nearly
20 miles of the grade have been com
pleted in that section and steel suffi
cient to lay several miles of track has
been received and will be laid before
the work is closed down.
Eighty-four thousand five hundred
ties have been delivered to the Alaska
engineering commission on the Sew
ard end of the railroad under the con
tracts let. Eighty thousand of these
ties have been used to replace old i
ties on the Alaska Northern.
A. E. Kirk, who has been success
fully operating placer properties on
Candle creek, in the Ophir district,
reports the miners there have had an j
excellent season, lie declares the
creek affords one of the best dredging
propositions in the territory.
Territorial Treasurer W. G. Smith
has sent out notices of the sale by

by the territorial legislature in Section
4 of Chapter 3 of the Sessions Laws
of Alaska for 1915.
t-eginning tms week a regular mail
service will lie established between
Reward and Anchorage overland. The
contract calls for two mails each way

seventy-five pounds of this will be for
the Iditarod country, leaving 1,625
pounds per week for Anchorage. Col.

railroad, Chairman Edes, of the engi
neering commission, expresses the
opinion that not more than three to
four thousand feet of snowsheds will
be necessary in that district.

who may be injured during the winter
in the hard rock section on the gov
ernment railroad along Turnagain
Arm, a physician will be stationed at

DISCUSSED
PORTLAND. Nov. 14 — Old-time
“loggers" and lumber “cruisers” who
rangod the western forests in the
early days, listened with interest and
some astonishment to Ideas of logging
camp sanitation and other camping
matters as outlined by Dr. M. J.
Shields, field agent, American Red
Cross, in his address before the Paci
fic Logging Congress In session here
Dr. Shields described the ideal camp
site and the many things necessary
to make a camp sanitary and a healthy
place to live in.
"The location of the camp, of course,
is the first thing to consider," said
Dr. Shields, in part, “and In locating
this site several things would have
to be considered. Naturally to the
operator the nearness to the timber to
be logged; centrally located In regard
to getting in equipment and supplies,
and getting out logs to market; the
a a « «-W--- Vkj> Iao.iajI I li a
number of men to be employed, etc.
"AH this, of course, would mean
that a camp on this location would re
main either a short period or a long
time, and the older and larger the
camp at an unsanitary location the
more unsanitary it becomes, and large
camps that are to last for a long
period of time should be located at the
best possible place for dryness and
drainage.
"I don' think there is a logging op
eration or a body of timber on this
coast but what some location can be
found where there is a dry and well
drained spot in which the camp can
be placed. And all the logging oper
ations are in virgin territory, unsolled
by the sewerage of settlements.”
As one of the Important measures
of health and cleanliness Dr. Shields
suggested that everyone having any
thing to do with the culinary depart
ment of the camp should be com
pelled to pass a physical examination.
Those of his hearers who had, in their J
early days, experienced the methods
of the "bull” cook and "flunkey” of
many a logging camp were greatly
interested.
“The cooks should be cleanly in
their habits,” said Dr. Shields on this
point, “and a private or separate bath
should be provided for the cook and
I:’s assistants, so they may bathe fre
quently. No cook who has tuberculo
sis or who is a typhoid carrier should
be employed. In speaking of the latter
I cite the case of 'Typhoid Mary,” who
carried typhoid into every household
where she cooked in seven years.
“In fact, I think it imperative that
the cook pass a medical and physical
examination, like all dining car and
hotel cooks and waiters are compelled
to pass. This would apply to the bull
cook and flunkey also.”

Advertising
Surely
‘Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United States is enor
i moiis.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.
Keep 7'our
Name ‘Before
The Public.
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that |
everybody in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don’t make this
grievous mistake.
The public is fickle.
The public is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished” it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established” as
most enterprises.

Calamity
Howler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things will
come out all right.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
I he results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, ‘‘Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing.” If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
