If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
if pis are sis! a Home Trader You are a
Trailer io the Best interests of the Town
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself.
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. He puts forth
hold 1
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money.
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid ivorth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the tenon by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars.

AUSTRIAN WOMAN
DECLARES HUSBAND
ASSERTS GERMAN COUNT PAID
HER ROYALTIES FOR TIME,
VIENNA, Alar. 5.—That the Zep
pelin is not the invention oi' the fam
ous Count Zeppelin, but that the
“rigid” system was the idea ol' David
Schwartz, an Austrian, who died in
JS94, is the claim of the Neues Wien
er Journal, a Viennese evening news
paper.
To bolster up its claim, the news
paper publishes an interview with
the widow of the deceased engineer,
Frau Melanie Schwartz, who states
that in 1891 her husband offered his
invention to the Austrian govern
ment, but without success.
On January 13 of that year he was
on the point of going to Berlin to
show his invention, when he dropped
dead from apoplexy.
His widow states that she did not
feel equal to the task of continuing
his efforts, but a foreign power sent
experts to witness a demonstration
of the invention. On noticing that a
photographic apparatus had been se
creted in the hall, however, she
states that she left immediately, and
would not conduct the experiment.
She then approached Count Zeppe
lin, who was a great friend of the
family, and, after much dickering, he
acquired the Schwartz patent from
the Austrian government on the
basis of an agreement for thirty
years, which gave him unlimited
use of the Austrian’s invention.
Count Zeppelin paid her and her
three children certain sums for some
time; but after he had become fam
ous and a national hero, she visited
1 ‘»t Friedricbshafen, when > de
c.l. thai he could not pay her any
more money, as the Germans* almost
universally believed by that time
that the “Zeppelin’’ was his inven
tion, and that his payments might be
loked upon as “hush money."
Frau Schwartz states that the pri
ority of her husband’s invention can
be proved by documentary evidence,
although she does not deny that the
airship has been greatly improved by
many years’ work of self-sacrificing
experts.

Seattle Woman Ends
Her Life with Gas
SEATTLE, Mar. 5.—Deputy coron
ers found the body of Mrs. Otto
Kindlund, wife of an employe of the
Alaska Steamship Company, in a gas
filled room here last night. Clutched
in Mrs. Kindlund’s arms was a small
white dog, also dead.
In one hand Mrs. Kindlund held a
photograph of a man thought to be
her husband who was reported to be
in Alaska on the Motorship Oregon.
The dead woman left two notes.
One was addressed to “Mr. Otto
Kindlund, Motorship Oregon, Alas
ka,” It read:
“Daddy: I am about to be a mother
and can’t live this way, broke. Love
and kisses.
“Your lonely girl.'
The other note was addressed to
Mrs. Minnie Young, 805 Yakima
avenue, Wash., the name of the town
being omitted. It started out with
the salutation of “mother,” and said
she was “going to meet Casey and
grandma.” Casey was said by neigh
bors to have been her former hus
band.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
