Hans Aysch, proprietor of the
Royal Hotel and Bar, certainly
has faith in the future growth
and prosperity of Ketchikan.
Phis is evidenced in the im
provements lie has made of
late in lus Front Street prop
erly. lie has put in a first
class concrete foundation, one
able to carry a brick block if
necessary. Then lie is just
finishing improvements and
changes in the lobby and bar
room which gives him as line
a building front and bar as
cm. be found in the north. T0
day lie started work on an ad
dition on the back o( the build
ing, which will give him twen
ty more rooms on the hotel,
and carry the building clear
back to the alley.
Ketchikan is building today
v.dh an eye to the future
which is assured. She is the
first city in Alaska, and it is
up to her citizens to see that
she maintains that position.
Good -ubstanlial buildings
such as the last two or three
years have seen erected are
what will keep her there.

There can be no lunger any
question but that the mining
industry of Ibis region is due
fur a waking up at once, that
will bring it into the place it is
entitled lo in the mining in
dustry of the world, for the
news that the Great Boulder
Company of London and Aus
tralia had taken over the op
tions of the Alaska Venture
syndicate absolutely removes
the least fragmant of doubt,
i? ich is the word received by
Attorney Charles IT. Cosgrove
last night which had come
under the Atlantic by cable, u
cross the continent by wire,
ana then sent through the air
by wireless to its destination
here in (a? ayvay Ketchikan.
The Great Bouhb.u- Company
hikes Us name from the Great
Boulder Gold mine near Kil
goolie, Australia, which prop
.>»■!y has paid the stockholders
of I lie present company more
than twenty millions of pounds
in dividends. The Great Bould
company never takes over
any property until it has been
proved as a potential dividend
payer, leaving the matter of
I inspecting and proving prop
erties to other concerns. This
fact alone demonstrates the
opinion the British mining
world has of the Bugge and
nearby properties on which the
Ahisittt Venture Syndicate held
options, to addition to their
Australian holdings ibis com
pany owns several valuable div
idend paying gold properties in
South Africa.

You cannot get a good weather and waterproof roof for your
building from a poor roofing.
The roof of your building is the most important part of rt
smd unless your roofing is right, there will be no
peace of mind for those who live under it.
A roof that leaks causes no end of trouble,
beside a lot of damage.
The best way to protect yourself from these unnecessary
troubles, is to use Malthoid Roofing.
The makers of Malthoid Roofing guarantee it to be a
perfect roofing—to give satisfaction and to last as long
as the building it covers, prov ided it is properly laid
and ordinary care is taken of it.
Twenty-eight years of experience enables The Paraffine Paint Co ,
of San I'rancisco and Chicago Heights to
guarantee Malthoid Roofing under these conditions.

THE ALASKA
PIONEERS' HOME
The Alaska Pioneers’ Home,
which will he opened about
July 25, at Sitka, is not a home
for indigent persons, but for
pioneers of Alaska, who from
physieial disabilities or old age
arc in need of a place wherein
they may recover or may spend
I heir declining years in peace
and comfort. This was the in
tention of its promoters, and
H is intended that the disabled
men miners and prospectors
who are physieially unfit longer
lo pursue their calling, and to
whom fortune has been unkind
shall not become the objects
of public charity or suffer from
waul. Tips is the spirit which
wus behind I he idea, and it is
along Ihese lines that the
Home will be conducted. It
may, however he pointed out.
1 hat the Home is not intended
for those who hp\vt brought
misfoptlUHl upon themselves
through over-indulgence in
strong drink. But the pioneer
—the men who have blazed the
trails and have met with the
want of success that W too of
ten the Ipt of the men in the
advance guard of civilization
will be eared for. The Terri
torial Legislature appropriated
$ 1.1,000 for the maintenance
of the home until its next ses
sion. H is not a large amount,
and as pointed out in these col
umns yesterday by Represent
ative Arthur (I. Shoup, the
Home is not debarred from re
ceiving donations of any kind
money or books, or ther use
ful articles that will serve to
make Ihe home attractive to
its occupants. A good liabary
is particularly needed, ^pd Al
aska and pther. newspapers
vcould be desirable.
The people of Alaska gener
ally should take pp active inter
est iu Hie welfare of flic Pio
neers’ Home. It is a worthy
institution and will be main
tained in a worthy cause.—Em
