What Would Happen if
Advertising Should
Cease ?
What would happen in any city
where store advertising should be
discontinued? The question was
answered somp years ago in Chicago,
ilecause of a strike involving news
paper employees, the newspapers
practically stopped publication for
several days. The merchants came
to the publishers in dlspair, assur
ing them tnat their businesses were
at a standstill. They urged that any
reasonable concessions should ho
made in order that the newspapers
might resume publication on a nor
mad basis. •
This Cheago instance illustrates
how closely linked are the stores
and the newspapers and the people.
Not many people would care to
live in a city where the merchants
did not advertise. It would be a
dead place.
Readers of newspapers will watch
the advertising of merchants with a
new interest because of changed
conditions. THEY WILL BE MORE
CRITICAL. They will expect that
our merchants shall make their ad
vertiBng vital, informative.

The Alaska recently made the trip
from Seattle to Cordova direct in
three days and twelve hours. How
ever, that is ten hours longer than
it took the Alameda to make her best
trip between Seattle and Cordova.
The Alameda’s record, three days
and two hours, is the record for the
run.
Twenty thousand salmon trout is
not a very common sight, even in
waters which are prolific In fish, yet
that was what Ituss Downing of
Nome saw recently while working
on the Kobuk. Fish were never so
plentiful and the capacity of the Mid
night Sun cannery, operated by Sig
Arntzen, formerly of Bellingham, and
a number of Portland capitalists,
was taxed to handle the fish. This
pack' is worth ten dollars a case
and the pack this year surpassed all
records. The salmon pack of the
Midnight Sun cannery, the farthest
north cannery in the world was sent
to the States, together with 1,500
barrels of salt fish. Mr. Arneson's
outfit was lost three times by ship
wreck before he succeeded in getting
it to Kotzebue Sound, where he even
tually made' good.
Owing to the heavy epidemic of flu
in the coast towns, the physicians of
the interior are taking precautions
to prevent the dread disease from
gaining a foothold among the inhabi
tants of Fairbanks and Nenana. The
mails are even being fumigated and
no possible chance given for the dis
ease to spread.
On orders from the War Depart
ment, all men In the Signal Corps
in Alaska who wished to receive
their discharge from the service sent
their names in to the commanding of
ficer. Four from Cordova and a
number from Valdez will receive
their discharges in from 30 to 60
day*.
Jim O’Neil of Fairbanks is now
collecting fares on one of San Fran
cisco’s street car lines.
Mrs. W. P. Cummings of Fair
banks died recently at Bay-Roberts,
Newfoundland, from influenza. She
left Fairbanks in September on a
visit to the Outside, accompanied
by her three children.
A letter received from Joe Schulte
(Smoky Joe) on the last boat says
he is well and is anxious to get
back to Valdez. Joe says army life
Is all right for a farmer or a man
who is not used to excitement, but.
it palls on the Alaskan boys and
that he will make a bee-line for
home the moment he is discharged.
Joe Bernard, a daring trader of
Nome, is spending about five years
in working his way Eastward in his
boat the Teddy Bear, from the Ber
ing Sea through the Northwest Pas
sage to the Atlantic ocean. Reports
recently received state that Bernard
is endeavoring to emulate Steffan
sson, the explorer, and believed he
would reach the Eastern waters suc
cessfully. Bernard Is a good navi
gator, and has been out of touch
with civilization for about two years,
and if successful, will appear in the
Atlantic about 1921. If he succeeds
he will be one of the very few peo
ple to make the trip.
Efficiency and thrift are being at
tained by the miners of Quartz creek,
the first of the gold producing camps
ever staked in the locality of Daw
son. The minors are not only tak
ing out the gold necessary for the
purchase of their mining equipment
and other essential articles, but are
also producing their own foodstuffs.
During the last summer a number
of them planted and raised no in
considerable quantity of grain.
Turnips which are world beaters
for size and quality were displayed
in Dawson recently. Seven of them
weighed 178 pounds. The largest of
the bunch weighed 44 pounds, and Is
44 inches In circumference. Of the
seven the weights respectively are:
44, 30V4, 24, 21, 20 Vi, 20 and 18
pounds. The length of each turnip
from tip of root to top of tops is 56
inches. They were grown on the
ranch of the Canadian Klondike Co.,
at Bonanza Basin, by Clarence Kel
ton.
J. C. (Red) Rogers of Fairbanks
recently left for the Outside. Rog
ers, during his residence in the coun
try has been in nearly every camp
of the North, landing in Alaska dur
ing the boom days. An assayer by
vocation he often during the .early
days found values and colors in
friendships.
Robert Royal Douse, a Fairbanks
enlisted man, recently died at Camp
Dodge, Iowa, following a severe at
tack of the flu. Two sisters were
at his bedside at the last. He had
been a resident of Fairbanks for
many years anil was connected with
the A. E. C. at the time of his en
listment.
E. E. Middlekamp was in the city
the forepart of the week from Elle
mar. Mr. Middlekamp reports that
camp ravaged by the flue, but re
ports only one death, that of a Na
tive.— (Valdez Miner.)
R. A. Woolsey, a Cordova boy
who registered for military service
in that city is reported to have died
of influenza at The Dalles, Oregon.
He was drafted for service and an
induction notice sent but he died be
fore the summons reached him.
Miss Emma Nyberg and Ed. Will
house, of McCarthy, were recently
married at Seattle.
Winter sports will be indulged in
to some etxent by the people of Ne
nana, especially the younger set. It
is planned to have four basketball
teams in the field this year, two
of the ladies and two of the men.
Tho ladies will soon start training
and will in a short time issue a
challenge to the women of Fair
banks for a series of games, to be
played at both towns.
Word was received from the lower
river in the last mail boat that the
body of Dan Gllles had' been recov
ered and had been hurried at An
dreafBky after an inquest had been
held, the coroner’s jury finding that
3eath was cause d by accidental
rowning Glllis, it will Ije remem
bered, fell overboard from the steam
er Julia B. on one of her last trips
up the river and was never seen
again.—(Fairbanks CltUen.)
Gastineau Gossip
(An Intercepted Letter)
—
Dear Mary:
Just as everything was going beau
tifully, and things were beginning to
happen in Juneau, that pesky influ
enza germ had to creep back into
town and cause the ban to be placed
on It again. Isn’t it the deuce—just
at this time of the year, too, when
every one was in a holiday humor
and felt like playing and going to
parties and giving them? But then
it can't last forever and putting a
ban on the town is the only way to
get rid of it. Schools have closed again
movies—and jitneys, too, hence ev
eryone is staying at home. In or
der that they won’t be missing more
school than is necessary, the teach
ers are assigning lessons in the
newspapers for the Junior and Sen
ior High School, and the pupils are
supposed to do them at home.

Have I told you that Mina and
Charlie Johnson have joined Alma
and Ken. White at Latouche? They
went through Juneau some time ago.
When the boat was in, on account of
the influenza epidemic, it was all
Mr. Sowerby could do to get aboard
the boat to see them—and they were
not allowed to get off at all. When
they arrived at Latouche they were
quarantined for five days before
they could enter the town—and in
cidently see their new niece. Mrs.
Sowerby, who has been visiting A1
ma since last Summer, returned from
Latouche the first of the week, and
she said that they were all fine.
if
Gowie Shepard has received his
discharge from the aviation corps
and is visiting his sister, Mrs. Neid
ing at Carbonado. In a letter his
mother recently received from him
he said that Royal was still at the
Naval Training Station and did not
know when he would be discharged.
Hla mother said that from his letter
she judged that he did not intend
to return to Alaska—not now at any
rate.

PASTOR'S MESSAGE FOR SUNDAY
No one has ever denied the inti
mate connection between body and
spirit. Fear, depression, anxiety,
etc., effect the blood, nerves, and
muscles, and lower the vitality and
power of resistance. Trust, confi
dence, cheerfulness (spiritual influ
ences) strengthen the body. Prayer
is as real a tonic as the other means
provided by the Creator, through the
skill of His physicians and the
“Herbs He giveth for the use of
men.” .
The teaching for the Sunday is
that, though Christ has come once
in the flesh (and sanctified all
things human), and Is coming in ev
ery great crisis and epoch, yet there
will still he. after all, need for the
Greatest and Final judgment, be
cause human nature seems to be
such (or allowed itself to become
such) that, in spite of all God’s
plain judgments and warnings, men
will ignore or misuse them. Three
instances:
(1) We agonised to win the war.
shouted about It being God’s war for
righteousness, and many pledged
themselves to a more consecrated
life. Yet. after victory was given,
how many gave a thought to public
thanksgiving, or have reconsecrated
their lives to rooting out all Prus
sianism everywhere and in every
way?
(2) We were shocked and sob
ered by wreck, weather, and sick
ness; but, when it was all over,
how many gave thanks tor safety,
relief, and recovery; stopped to think
how frail, weak, and dependent they
are; and gave thanks and repledged
themeslves to use "their” lives for
the service of God and man.
(3) We claimed that we went to
war only because it was a war for
the vindication of the spiritual law of
right (as against physical might);
claimed that we trusted in spiritual
forces; quoted Lord Roberts. Haig,
Smuts, Foch, Pershing, and others
as trusting in prayor; let the Gov
ernment use our churches, respond
ed to the Government’s appeals tor
church's help;—all because we claim
ed It was war to end war—“never
again." But how much have we
heard or said 'about the League of
Nations? How much hare we prayed
tor the Peace Connell? How much
are we doing to root out all mater
ialism in our own lives and all war
conditions in our hearts? “Peace on
earth to men of good will"—only.
There is a Higher Court in the
world to come hy which all earthly
judgment and estimates will be re
viewed, reversed or affirmed, and
men’s actions * judged according to
Christ's supreme law of love .toward
Him, and His.
