THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
Newspaper advertising is so
generally scrutinized that some
people will say this suggestion
is unnecessary. Still there are
some people left who would
not discover a notice that $10.
gold pieces were given away,
even if prominently printed in
every newspaper. There are
some who pay needlessly high
prices, because they do not
pay careful attention to news
paper trade announcements.
The publisher does not con
sider that when his readers
have seen every news item,
they have by any means ex
has to give them.
One of the greatest services
the newspaper renders is pro
iding an avenue by which
merchants and tradesmen can
give information about their
offerings. Only by keeping
track of these offerings can
the public know where the
best values are to be had.—
Eastern Exchange.

Winston Spencer Churchill’s
plan for a “naval holliday” in
1914 when all nations shall
enter into a gentlemen’s
agreement to cease construc
tion. does not appeal to Kaiser
William. The German ruler
does not look with favor upon
the proposition that will make
him stop building while Eng
land is constructing or acquir
ing at least three modern bat
tleships. Churchill's holiday
idea is like Artemus Ward’s
announcement of an intermis
sion in the midst of his lecture
after which he kould add,
“But during the intermission
I will continue my lecture.”

The rank and file of the

taken over the peep sights.

A clairvoyant has confessed
that he bribed the Chicago

fake and police graft are not
unusual, and therefore do not!
much arouse our curiosety and j
surprise, but we confess that j
while we have believed the;

DORA’S CREW
IN HARD LUCK
Nine persans afflicted with
measles and others exposed to
the malady, including mem
bers of the crew are in quar
antine on the steamer Dora,
moored at the local dock. The
victims will be removed prob
ably this evening to a house
near the sawmill at the head
of the lagoon, where a rigid
quarintine will be maintained
under the direction of Dr.
Romig.town health officar.The
expense entailed in the med
ical treatment and sustenance
will be borne by the Alaska
Steamship company, owners
of the Dora, that brought the
cases here. Precautions are
being taken to prevent a
spread ofthe contagion.
On September 16. at the in
ception of the Dora’s west
bound voyaget Oscar Nelson,
a fireman, developed a case of
measles. Others sprang from
this cvase, until eleven persons
attacked have recovered.
Dr. Emli Krulish, of the

Uniter Stales public health |
service, happened to be at,
Utialaska; joined the Dora at•
that point, and took charge of j
the situation until the steamer
arrived here Saturday after

BUSY SCENE AT OIL DOCK
The construction gang at the
Oil Dock is making good time
at tank building, and the pres
ent fine weather is a great
help. The naphtha tank is
about ready for oil, and the big
crude oil tank is now going up.
The tank is a whopper, and it
is well worth a trip out there
to see it and the men at work
who are building it. The New
England Fish company has had
a small tank built on their own
property near the big tanks for
distillate for their own vessels.
The new office building in
cluding the wharfinger’s resi
dence is nearing completion.
REAL ESTATE
CHANGES HANDS

sales of property here in

has closed arc;

sideration $1,155.00
The Samdahl lot, lot3, block

H. L. Fedderson to Mrs. F.
Chapman, loti, block 3, for
$2,500.00
The G. E. Merritt place to
John Tether, consideration
$350.00
A deal is pending and to all
intents and purposes closed,
whereby M. J. Bugge becomes
the owner of the Stedman Ho
tel, having purchased the pro
perly from Capt. Connell. The
news of the sale, which be
came public last night, was a
big surprise to everybody, as
the Stedman is certainly the
best paying piece of hotel pro
perty in Alaska. Capt. Connell
has not been feeling well of
late, having been steadily in
the harness here in Ketchikan
in various lines since 1902, so
he concluded he would take a
rest, and the transfer of the
property and business is the re
suit. The Connells plan to pul
in the winter taking life easy
on the Sound, and will proba
bly return to Ketchikan in the
early spring where the Captain
will go into business again a
