Some time ago the mail from Fair
banks brought a Jar}?** poster, printed [
in patriotic color?, announcing the Sec
ond Annual Tanana Valley Fair, to be
held at Fairbanks, Alaska, on. Sept. ith j
and 5tb, und<*r the auspices of the Fair
banks Commercial club; an old fash- 1
ioned country fair, at which were ex
hibited the products of the Tanana j
valley. Ca-h prizes wore offered for
the best exhibits of horses, cattle, pigs, ;
chickens, vegetables, gram and fl>wers.
Special rates prevailed duiing the fair,
on the Tanana Valley railroad, ?nd ex
hibits were given free : ia:.-po? tation.
There were also extensive exhibits of
minerals and home made articles. If i
such an exhibition cat: be carried
through with success in the Tanana I
7alley, it is much more possible in 1
Southeastern Alaska. All that is need
ed io auot^auiKitiioii, wither one already
iu existence, or one yet to be formed, to
push it aioug. If properly arranged it
would be an attraction not only to the ;
people of Douglas Island, but to thou
sands who would come from all parts j
of Southeastern Alaska. While this
part of Alaska does not say so much
about agriculture, it is really astonish- i
ing to see the great quantities of vege
tables being raised here. One store iu
Douglas, having a large trade, is selling
Alaska vegetables exclusively.
"Hogging Secretary Fisher" is the 1
grave chartre laid at the door of one of
Ketchikan's most prominent citizens.
By thni we aie to understand that the
said citizen monopolized the lime of!
the secretary iu Ketchikan while other
and I*-* prominent citizens stood back
and LoiiUieU their committee badges in
silent wrath, and the great honor that
might have beeu theirs had they been
allowed to buzz the honorable visitor
passed them by and was gone forever.
Of cour-e, had they really anything to
say to Mr. Fisher, a two cent stamp
will carry it to him eveu yet.'
During the past week several new ad- j
7ertisers have come to tbe News, and i
&hat without solicitation. We com ;
mend their judgmenf, for it 19 reason j
able that those who expect the patron
age of tbe people of Douglas Island
should say so through tbe columns of
their own home paper. Tbe columns of ,
this paper are open to all advertise
ments of a legitimate nature.
Mr. Fred VV. Bradley, president of the
Alaska Tread well Gold Mining Co.,. left j
on the steamship Admiral Sampsou,
Sunday evening, for tbe States. He
was accompanied by bis wife and chil
dren. Mr. Bradley has spent the sum
mer at Treadwell, attending to busi
ness, while the members of his familj
have eujoyed the delights of a perfect
Alaskan summer.
The Jualin mine at the Comet has
aloaed down for the winter. Work will
be resumed in the spring with an in
creased force of men. The Jualin is
owned by ex Gov. Hoggatt and partners
and recently contributed to commerce
a 84,000 brick.

Mother Love
A man awoke one night with a tooth
ache.
He groaned, lie turned and twisted,;
be howled, he sat up and lay down
again. He arranged his pillow aud ,
pressed it against his face, with an- !
other groan.
His wife slept on and never moved.
He wanted attention, ho wanted sym
pathy, auc> be groaned again.
Still fbe slept.
Injury added to the pain; it wasn't,
treating a fellow right to sleep like that
when ho was suffering with a painful ;
tooth, and he called her name.
Still she slept. J
He had groaned three times as loud
as he could, and she didn't awake.
Then the baby, in its crib in another
room, sighed softly in its sleep.
The woman was on her feet and stand- t
ing beside its crib, anxious eyed in an
instant. uAnd 1 actually thought,"!
said the man, "that she loved me most."
