Photographs of Iced
Down Starr Exhibited
A group of the finest photographs
of an iced-down steamer viewed lo
cally, for a considerable period are
being displayed by J. C. Bender,
popular purser on the steamer Starr,
who obtained the pictures on the
voyage last month.
It will be recalled that the news
item published at that time stated
all hands on the vessel were engag
ed in cutting away the ice which
completely covered the sturdy little
vessel from fore to aft, and from
the tip of the masts to the water
line. The photographs will astound
one. As an example one picture re
veals the rigging around wkidh ice
had formed to a thickness of at least
ten inches. Another shows the
wheel house absolutely encased in
a sheath of ice.
Sometimes a wrhite lie will brighten
a dark outlook. *
Many are goers but a measurably
smaller number are getters.

STEESE REPORTS
HOUSE HEARINGS
SATISFACTORY
GETS FAVORABLE TREATMENT
BY HOUSE COMMITTEE IN
TRAIL, ROAD FUNDS
Hearings before the House Ap
propriations Committee on the Alas
ka Road Commission items in the
War Department’s annual supply
bill were held last week and were
very satisfactory, according to tele
graphic advices at the Juneau head
quarters of the Commission from Col.
James G. Steese, President, announc
es the Empire. The items for road
and trail construction calls for $900,
000, and a Juneau dock item for
about $40,000.
Col. Stese’s telegram merely said
that the hearings were very satis
factory. This, it is believed, indi
cates that the Committee approved
the Commission’s items as submit
ted by the Secretary of War.
After4* some 60 days spent abroad,
mostly in Algiers, Cal. Steese re
turned to the United States about
ten days ago. He landed in New
York and proceeded directly to
Washington. It is expected he will
remain there for sometime, probably
until after the Senate completes its
work on the War Department meas
ure.

Hi
Mai! order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won’t
take a chance. They won’t trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are worthy of it, he will extend it
gladly. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to ‘ come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant's the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It’s not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.
