Editor Miner,
In last night’s paper appeared
an article telling of the life and
growth on the West Coast,
which hit the nail squarely on
the head, and shows how little
Ketchikan actually realizes
what is going on in this region
so near to her, the business of
which should be hers, and
| would be if her people would
j only go to the trouble of mak
j ing it possible for such busin
. ess to come this way,
j The West Coast is developing
I the fastest of any region in
! Southeastern Alaska, much
1 much more rapidly than the
I
i country around Ketchikan, al
though our people don’t realize
it, fully three men being em
ployed in that region to every
one in this locality, and Wrang
jell gets all the business,
j It may not be generally
■tti'ifoi-*- ■*.- ' Hfc. ——
known that a plan is jiow under
consideration and is practic
ally assured to put a thoroughly
competent vessels on the run
between Ketchikan and the
West Coast within the next
few months, which we believe
will do much toward removing
the ignorance in Ketchikan con
cerning West Coast matters,
and at the same time make it
possible for the growing bus
iness of that region to reach 1
Ketchikan direct.
The plan ns outlined includ
es a thoroughly seaworthy ves
sel driven by a two hundred
horse power Deisel engine, op
erating on crude oil. She will
have sleeping accommodations
I for fifteen or twenty people, a
! comfortable cabin, a smoking
I
room forward, and real meals
served on board. At the pres
ent time Wrangell has the bus
iness amounting to thousands
of dollars monthly because a
regular boat operates from
there, while Ktechikan gets
nothing owing to the difficulty
of getting across the portage
and the unsatisfactory vessels
connecting with the portage
route. With an able vessel on
the run, competent to make the
trip every week, irrespective
of weather, this would all be re
versed and Ketchikan would
get the business which is hers
by every right.

One of the first thing to be thought of is the Hot Water Bottle.
A hot water bottle at feet adds comfort in the sitting roorp while reading, or sewing. A
hot water bottle or two placed in the bed a few minutes before retiring will make it warm and
comfortable. Why suffer from the cold, when comfort can be had so easily.
We have hot water bottles in all sizes ranging from the one pint face bottle to the large
there quart general-use bottle.
The prices range from 80 cents for the smaller and cheaper grade bottles to $2.75 and $3.00
for the large sizes
Our Bottles Are Sold Under A Guarantee.
