MEASURE
Tlii- proposed* Development
| Board which congress is plan
bag to provide for Alaska, i
misleading in its name, for i!
- freqnen‘:\ supposed that it
purpose is to make laws for
die territory. When t'iie an
nouncement was first mad.;
that the development hoard
was develop0*! for Ala-ha, thr
I purpose o hoard was rni«
1 understood here, and even
I now, after many explanations
I liave been made, we find some
of the people 'who are suppos
ed to be well informed pre
senting the idea that the board
w ild be a misfortune.
In a r cent i--ue of the Sew
tr.l Gateway i- found an edi
torial which alludes to the pro
posed development hoard as a
di-grace to {he people of ihe
territory. One paragraph oi
that editorial is as foiiows:
“In the Valdez Miner ap
pear? a tel *gram from Fair
banks, daied November 7.
which q rile- Wirkersham as
-wing i t id the next session
oi .••-!* - - ;i bii| will be pass)
ed placing Ala-ka under the
government of a federal coin
mi'sion. Whether thi- tele
gram i> true or not cannot he
told. Placing Alaska under
-uch a government would be
he most frightful political dis
-ter that could befall the
people of the territory, hut it
must be regretfully admitted
dn.t the people of Alaska them
-elves'will be respan-ibe if
-urh an iii-ult is delivered.”
It - '.‘.ltd be pretty well un
’«•!>‘ood by llii- lime, that the
proposed development hoard
will have nothing to do with
the making of law- for Alas
ka. hilt will simply be for the
a " po?>. of eliminating ‘Ted
I ape” in federal affairs in this
ierrit' ry.
Among the duties of the pro
po-ed development boatd will
be those of giving patent- to
mining cl- in- and to other
lauds. The board will also
o..- the place of the present
" cl ;in:::--ion in Alaska,
: will direct the edue flional
• ■ tti'ie- for the people living
ii -id ' ot incorporated town
ami cities.
According to present plan-,
be hoard will have the author
I" ni'iMcuc ail ilie telegraph
hoes in Alaska, and will net ii
ivi.-ory capacity (.j the Presi
dent ami to congress in regard
i to routine matt t- here.
Ir-tc >d of being a di>grac<
'< Ah--!:a, the proposed develop
merit hoard will he a wonder
i d aid to the territory. i
i- pro;, sol b, have it made up
! of five men to lie apoinled Ln
; ■ lie President and at least three
of these must be Aalskans. li
the people of the territory
could understand how inueli
iime Uie proposed board would
i save for them in many tilings
’ that are directed by the feder
| al g vermnent they would not
! oppose t'he plan.
Alaska will probably wan!
more railroads, and the terri
i lory I- certain to need more
wagon roads. There kvill also
j be many other improvements
i that the government will br
asked to finance and a develop
ment board would ibe able to
do more tcKvard securing it
than a delegate to congress or
the entire Alaska legislature.

I TO OUli CUSTOMERS
On and after this date the
Tongass Trading company t,vill
sell for cash only.
Why?
A great many people have
never sloped to consider what
the credit system really means.
Let ns tell you.
Experience has shown us that
the credit system is disastrous
lo the consumer for the sim
ple reason that tliera are
bound bo he more or less los
ses in any business conducted
under this system, and (hese
losses must lie paid by the con
sumer. In this way you are not
only paying your onw accounts
but you are paying your share
of the bad accounts that the
merchant has on his books.
The credit system is disastrous
to the merchant, for if hs
does not add these losses bo
the price of the goods that his
cash customers are paying for,
lie will s'ooner or later have
to dose his doors in bank
ruptcy.
We are adopting the cash
system for the reason that wo
do not want you to pay for any
other goods than your own.
We want to be in a. position to
offer you the best that the
market affords for cash, at a
price that is determined by the
actual value of the goods that
you are buying and paying for.
We can give you better .goods
better prices and better serv
ice than ever before and it
will be money in your pocket
to give this matter your con
sideration.
We are still the old reliable.

W astefulness
of "Price” Buying
To save money in purchasing is a duty everyone owes !
to his business. "Price” buying, however, does not always j
mean economy.
A few dollars "saved” in buying a typewriter may turn out to
be many dollars wasted and make an expense of what should
have been an investment.
The higher price paid for the
L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
is paid for the greater amount of superioi work it will turn out
and its greater durability. j
You will be surprised to learn what a great difference there is [
in typewriters. The cheapest is usually the most expensive. i
