“ENCLOSED FIND CHECK--”
Three pleasant words with a deep
meaning.
They mean that the sender is one
who knows how to do business;
who has a bank account, and who,
therefore, is likely to have a good
credit rating and whose business is
a reliable, going concern.
Pay by check. It’s the modern
way to do business and to meet
your obligations. Open an account

The Call of the North
(To the Former Governor of New York, “Sourdough. Bill” Sulzer)
’Tis the Spirit of Alaska that is calling me tonight;
As I dream In New Yo: k City, where the lights are always bright;
And I long to see the rugged coast and snow-capped peaks on high;
Oh, Take me to Alaska! Take me back before I die,
i can see the coast range glistening, crowned with everlasting srtow;
1 can hear the river roaring in the valley far below;
I can feel the cool of evening as tile sun sinks out of sight;
’Tis the Spirit of Alaska that is calling me tonight.
I can hear the wind a-sighing through the tree-tops dark and tall;
I can hear the wolves a-calling as they band up in the fall;
Well I know their every action as they vanish out of sight;
’Tis the Spirit of Alaska that is calling me tonight.
I can hear the city calling and I know the maddening throng,
As I watch the toil-worn faces of the people pass along;
But the Spirit of Alaska—the Aurora’s changing light,
Are calling me to leave New' York for my northern home tonight.
(The above was read and dedicated to Hon. William Sulzer by Igloo No,
16, Pioneers of Alaska, upon the occasion of a reception tendered to Mr.
Sulzer at Ketchikan, Alaska, on August 1, 1924. Mr, Sulzer was made a life j
member of Igloo No. 1, at Nome in 1907.)

Valuable Thiers’ Pearls
Caused Some Commotion
PARIS, Aug. 26.—The Theirs
pearls which sold recently for more
than $600,000 were unable to find
a taker for nothing during the ag
onizing days of the German march
on Paris.
When the French general staff
asked the government to get out of
Paris so that army would have a
free hand in the operations around
the capital, it was decided that
the Bank of France would move to
Bordeaux also. At the last minute
someone thought of the crown jew
els in the Louvre museum. The di
rector of the museum bought a com
mon leather satchel into which he
hastily stuffed the precious stones
that formerly adorned the kings of
France along with the Theirs
pearls, without even stopping to
make a list of the gems.N
The satchel was handed over to
Monsieur Dalmier, under secretary
of state for fine arts, who carried
it to Bordeaux. As soon as he ar
rived in the temporary capital he
tried to get rid of the trust. Mon
sieur Ribont, Minister of Finances,
refused to accept it; Monsieur Rob
j ineau, governor of the Bank of
France, also declined to take the
deposit. After an unofficial coun
cil of ministers it was decided that
. the Bank of France be asked to
take charge of the jewels after in
ventory. Monsieur Robineau final
ly set about to aid him make an
inventory in the chamber of a Bor
deaux hotel.
During the process the string
that held the Thiers pearls together
gave way, creating consternation
among the eminent officials present
and bringing the mall to their knees
in a frantic hunt for the scattered
gems.
Hours were spent in the hunt and
when no more pearls were to be
found a certain amount of uneasi
ness still remained because no one,
in the obsence of any inventory or
record from the Louvre, knew just
. how many pearls there were in the
string. Monsieur Robineau recepit
ed for 145 and everybody was re
j Iieved when word was received from
J the Louvre that 145 was the correct
! number.

37 1-2 GALLONS A YEAR •
SOUGHT AS WINE QUOTA
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—'Thirty
seven and one-half gallons of wine
per year per person!
This figures out a little less than
a pint a day ,and, according to Karl
H .M. Gardner, chief priest of the
Holy Rosicrucian Church ,it is a per
fectly proper amount of wine for the
members of his flock.
Gardner has set this forth in a
suit filed here seeking a permanent
injunction to prevent Federal offi
cials from further carrying out 'il
legal and unconstitutional rules, reg
ulations and orders.”
The suit is directed against An
drew J. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury; David H. Blair, Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue; Ray A.
Haynes, Federal prohibition officer;
Joe C. Burke, United States Attor
ney, and other Federal and prohibi
tion officers.
The suit also asks that the de
fendants be further prevented from
depriving the plaintiff of “enjoying
privileges and immunities which by
law are rightfully his in his ca
pacity as chief priest of the Holy Ro
sicrucian Church.”

FORMER N. Y. GOVERNOR
GUEST OF DOUGHERTY'S
Former Governor Wm. Sulzer was
the guest last evening at dinner of
Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty. ATter
i wards they attended the movie, and
I saw “The Lure of the Yukon,” a pic
i ture filmed in the North, ft is our
bet that Sulzer and Dougherty—old
; Yukoners, could-have staged a better
j show. “The Lure of the Yukon” is
; not as alluring as Dawson staged.

Frank Boyle, candidate for dele
gate to congress on the Democratic
ticket will arrive in Seward in the
near future according to a telegram
received by A .E. Rucker.
Mel Holben’s family will move the
latter part of the week intorthe new
apartments upstairs in the building
recently purchased from the Daggett
