CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
Store news is twice as important to you in war times as in peace times for
the reason that economy in buying is twice as important.
OUR MERCHANTS FURNISH YOU
A STORE-NEWS SERVICE
EVERY DAY!
The ADVERTISED store that keeps in close touch
with its customers. The merchant who ADVERTISES
is the merchant who SERVES.
There are difficulties connected with maintaining
good store-service in these days which the customer
but vaguely understands. These difficulties extend
as well to the securing of proper supplies of mer
chandise in many lines.
The days and night* of the merchant are filled
with changing problems. They are not easy prob
lems—sometimes they refuse to be satisfactorily
solved at all,
But the merchant who ADVERTISES tells his
customers how well he is succeeding in solving these
problems—for they are his customers' problems in the
final analysis.
Store advertising nowadays is, in a very real sense,
a service of NEWS.
This news-service has an intimate interest to all
who buy. ,
It is a TRADE INFORMATION SERVICE.
It is conducted FOR YOUR BENEFIT AND PROFIT
—for that is the real purpose of all genuine store
service and of all store advertising.

ALASKA NOTES I
The big drive at the Uacum Fort
was a pronounced success, according
to those who attended. $5,500 was
subscribed by the soldiers, which
added to the sum already subscribed
totals nearly $ I.'1.000- a splendid sum
when it is considered that but a lit
tle over 200 men are at present sta
tioned at the Post.
Fifty pounds of gold, or about $11,
000 worth, was brought in to Valdez
^ist week from the Valdez Creek
property, which has been running a
small crew of men. This is one of
the best properties in the division
and under good management would
produce a foriune for the stockhold
ers.— (Valdez Miner.)
Reports coming from Marshal show
that the camp is still In the ring.
Several large clean-ups are reported
as recently coming out of Willow
Creek.
Warren Nelson and Fred Cope
have returned from a trip to Dan
Creek, says the McCarthy News,
where they witnessed several clean
ups. Klopfer & Cmpany have clean
ed up over $3,000 to date and Cliff
Cayonette Is also doing well.
Edward W. Roberts, who arrived at
Nome recently from Council had to]
abandon hope of mining this season!
owing to an absolute lack of water.
He has been unable to do a particle
of mining this season. He has pre
pared against a water shortage in
the future by buying the Miller dredg-j
er on Warm Creek which will later
be installed on his ground on Crook
ed river.
The "Russian Kid” otherwise well
known as A. W. Balzimier, recently
sold his copper property on Dan
Creek to Martin Harrais, and will
receive $",0,000 on the deal, while
still retaining certain interests. Mr.!
Balzimier states that the property is
at the head of Dan Creek, about 2G,
mils from McCarthy and was origin-’
ally located by him about two years
ago.
Reports from Dexter Creek in the
Second Division say that the dredge
owned by Ayer, Kittleson and others
located near the mouth of Dexter
is now completed and the machinery .
was turned over for the first time a
few days ago. The dredge was
brought down, Nome river from Hob
son Creek during the past Spring1
and has been in process of construc
tion since the snow disappeared.
A prospector recently sent out a
sample of ore from Nome, wet tests
convincing him by the reaction that
the ores contained platinum. He
asked the assayers to wire in actual
gold contents and if any platinum
later to write by mail. He received
$18 and a wire "some platinum,”
which sent a thrill through him and
he is now anxiously awaiting’ the
arrival of the assay sheet.
All the material for the dredge on
Fairbanks Creek has been removed
to the claim on which the dredge
will be worked and the teams be
engaged In the hauling have re
turned to Fairbanks. Although the
material has all been delivered it
will be a few days before the dredge
will be working owing to adjustments
of a minor nature to be made, it
is expected that several weeks work
will b^ ahead at the dredge before
the freezeup.
Conditions In the Port Clarenpe
section are better than In most of
the other camps in the Seward Pen
Insula. The tin dredge is losing no
time and the work on Lost river is
being pressed by those in charge.
It is admitted that the outlook is
growing better for the tin ore lodes
in this district. The demand for tin
is attracting mnch attention to this
neglected field which has been the
happy stamping ground of many pro
moters.
John Parser arrived from halibut
Cove in one of the lust steamers
and reports that section of the coun
try in apr extremely prosperous con
dition He says there will be about
fopr hundred people there this win
ter. nearly all of whom will be en
gaged in the herring fishing business,
according tp the Valdez Prospector.
A skunk farm at Homer Spit,
acrosa from Kacbemak Bay has been
established. A mau named McEwen
has a fax ranch on one of the group
of Ywhon Islands near KachemaV
Hay. An Indian also has a large tpx
farm on one of the Islands, where
be hat over 300 animals. William

regular body of chrome ore. The
Admiral Schley recently brought out
fifty tons to the smelter at Tacoma.
Two hundred tons were left on the
dock for one of the next boats.
Ilick Doherty’s sawmill at Port
Chatham is now working full blast.
Seldovia is booming, says Mr. Par
ker. The new dock has just been
completed. There are now four eat
ing houses, three rooming houses,
two pool halls and three grocery
stores and several other business re
cently started at this new town.
The cannery at this place put up a
good pack of salmon this summer.
Jack Tansey d'd extremely well this
season with his t i ll trap. He in-[
tends extending it out further next
season. i
Mr. Parker will return on the firstl
boat leaving for the Westward to |
look after his herring interests at1
Halibut Cove.
GOODS EXCHANGED
IN LIEU OF COIN
BY BOLSHEVIK^
MOSCOW, Nov. 7.—The lock of1
money and the great depreciation
of the Russian ruble has compelled
the Soviet government to resort to
the primitive form of trade,—ex
change of goods. This form has
been applied in Russia in a limit
ed degree, because of lack of man
ufacthred articles, the government
giving the peasants agricultural ma
ehnery, leather goods, nail, matches!
and other such necessaries and re-1
eeiving the equivalent value In j
grain. It is* the intention of the.
Department of Food to introduce
the exchange of goods system into
internatoinal trade and for this pur
pose it sent a special emissary to
Norway to negotiate witli the Nor
wegian government.
’Phone it to The Empire. No. 374.
GREAT TASK BEFORE
UNITED STATES IS
AFTER THE WAR
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—In the
great task of internal reconsturc
tion after the war, the War Indus
tries Board seems cetain to contin
ue in existence and play a large
part in the transformation of war
manufacturing back to peace time
production. This is one feature of
the government's program for eas
ing the nation's business from the
pitch of war to the pursuits of peace
without conculsing it in the pro
cess. In a sense, the program is
tentative, because its formulation
has just begun. Nevertheless the
planning for peace is giving all gov
ernment agencies in Washington
these days material 'for as syste
matic thought as the prosecution of
war.
Industrial reconstruction, next
to demobilization of the army, is
probably the most important phase
of these plans. How to stop the
manufacture of shells, of guns, of
army and navy supplies, without
stopping the industrial wheels which
made them, and to furnish new
work for these wheels, is a problem
which agencies of the War Indus
tries Board will be called on . to
Rolve. This means that the hun
dreds of industrial and commercial
leaders who have been called to
Washington will have to continue
their services for essential peace
work, or substitutes for them to be
found.
SOVIET NEWSPAPERS
PLEASED OVER DELAY
CAUSED GERMANS
MOSCOW, Nov, 7.—Soviet news
papers were enthusiastic over the
news of the destruction of Tunnel
36 on the Trans-Siberian Railway
east of Irkutsk in the Lake Raikal
section, and declared the hindrance
would delay American and Japan
ese troops froiji six months to one
year in their movement to relieve
the Czecho-Slovaks. The Izvestia
says the Soviet forces exploded 1,
040 pounds of dynamite in the tun
nel and destroyed it completely.
This tunnel is one of a series
of forty-eight which carries the
railway through the bases of moun
tains and hills jutting into Lake
Raikal.
NEW ZEALAND NOW POPU
LAR WITH AMERICAN
TOURISTS
New Zealand is now the goal «f
the many tourists from the United
States, more having visited the Do
minion in 1917 than in previous
years, according to Commerce Re
ports, which say:
"The New Zealand Governmenl
has a very complete tourist depart
ment, with two equally good tourist
stations—one at Rotorua in North
Island and the other in tlie vicinity
of Mount Cook in South Island.
These are not only very popular
for New Zealanders, but for Austral
ians and Americans as well.
“The rapid development of the
rural districts of New Zealand by
the farmers, dairymen and stock
raisers, together with the general
use of the motor car, has brought
to the fore the necessity of better
highways. The campaign for this
improvement will open in earnest on
the return of the soldiers at the close
of the war.
