COMPLETES WORK

CONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS IN
KUSKOKWIM AND KANTISHNA
REGIONS, ON NORTH SLOPE OF
THE ALASKA RANGE.
Completing a three months’ trip
studying the geological structure of
the region on the north slope of the
Alaska range in the general vicinity
of the McKinley National Park, S.

rived in Seward Saturday night from
the Interior. Dr. Capps leaves for
the States on the steamer Alaska,
en route to his Washington head
quarters of the Geological Survey, j
While awaiting the departure of the j
vessel he is a guest at the Van Gil
der hotel.
In early June, Dr. Capps ainl ms
party of two, M. L. Eskart and El
mer Larsen, with their outfit loaded
on seven pack horses, passed
thru the park heading toward the
Kantishna region, approximately 90
miles distant. Thence they followed
down from Mt. Dali to the head of
the Tonzano river and ime the Kus
kokwim rigion. The country tra
versed was well mineralized bat, ac
cording to the indications, Dr Capps
said little prospecting was evident.
Number Outfits Kantishna
On the return trip, Dr. Capps con
ducted an investigation of the Kan
tishna region, where, it is stated, a
number of prospectors are operating
in a small way, the most on placer
though there is also some quartz
prospects being developed.
Ample game was seen by the par
ty during their trip, especially of
sheep and caribou. Of the latter, Dr.
Capps estimated they had seen dur
ing the entire summer at least 15,
000.
The season’s work in Alaska is
about completed, it was stated, and
the various parties which have been
in the field are mostly now on their
several ways out. The seven head
of horses which Dr. Capps used the
past summer were sold at McKinley
park last week, the horses bringing
the average price of $50 a head.

HUNTERS WARNED
REGARDING BOATS
Violators of the game regulation
prohibiting shooting ducks from pow
er boats are warned by local game
officials that a strict watch is to be
maintained in this regard. It was
pointed out that the law does not
allow using any kind of a boat with
a motor for running up a covey of
birds, then turning off the engine
and shooting them in wholesale lots.
This applies equally to skiffs with
outboard motors.
FOX FARMERS WILL
NOT MEET THIS YEAR
The annual meeting of the Prince
William Sound Fox Farmers’ Asso
ciation which was to have been held
Tuesday, September 8, has been
postponed indefinitely it has been
announced. This was caused by the
unsuccessful season in the business
this year, due to the lowering of
prices about 80 per cent in the mar
kets, and the farmers feel that
it would be unwise to leave their
farms at this particular season of
the year. The postponement is also
due to the inclement weather con
ditions making it difficult for the
farmers to come in from the islands
in small boats.—Cordova Times.

With Home Town Buying
You live here. You make use of the public benefits of this
city. Then help pay for them—and make it possible to increase
municipal improvements.
You can’t do it by sending your dollars out of town. Every
cent you send away to mail order concerns represents so much dead
loss to the community—and no gain whatever to you on good purchased.
Your dealer sells standard goods of the highest quality—
and sells them at honest prices. Merchandise of greater merit can
not be had for any amount of money—and certainly not for less
money. You can inspect the goods before purchasing—a big advantage
over mail order buying. You can see what you are getting. You can
buy in small quantities if you wish, or you can purchase in large lots
and obtain price concessions granted bulk buyers. The goods you buy are
delivered within a few minutes after purchase is made—right into your home—
and free of delivery costs.
If you are not satisfied with purchases—or desire to
exchange goods for any reason whatever — you may do so quickly
and conveniently.
These are a few of the buying advantages to be had
right here at home that can not be offered by any mail order concern
in creation. You benefit yourself—then you benefit the dealer.
You enable him to continue in business. By giving him
bigger business you enable him to give you better bargains.
The profit he makes—a legitimate one—is spent right here
fltfhome. Some of it is turned over to other dealers. Some of it goes
for rent. Some of it for clerks’ salaries. Some of it for taxes. It assists in
building up the entire town. It helps advance property values. It contributes
to the betterment of schools—which your children or your heighbors’ children
attend. It helps put down better side-walks—and put up better public build
ings. It pays you actual dividends in development of the town —your town.
It makes the town in which you live a better town for you to live in.
It invites outsiders to settle here. It booms prosperity—and you share in
that prosperity.
It is your plain duty— to yourself — your family — your friends
— your town—to spend your dollars with local dealers. Do it.
