ALASKA NOTES
The Dawson News of recent
date says that no developments
of a startling nature have Ueen
reported from the new camp on
Isaac creek, which empties into
the Yukon about forty five miles
from Fort Selkirk. It is under
stood that the creek, as far as it
has been prospected, shows up
satisfactorily, pay having been
found in several holes which
have been bedrocked. As there
are several boilers on the creek
some developments may be ex
pected before spring.
Chris Qhalmers ,an Austrian
from Treadwell, has been bound
over to the grand jury at Dou
glas on the charge of giving li
quor to a native. One of the
natives living on Douglas beach
was in jail at Douglas for dis
orderly conduct and when he re
turned home found Chalmers
there with a bottle of whisky
and both Chalmers and the na
tive’s wife were intoxicated.
The native took the bottle and
after hitting Chalmers over the
head with it deposited it with
ill# Douglas city magistrate for
safe keeping and then called the
officers.
From the menial occupation of
a chambermaid in the Nordale
hotel in Fairbanks, to the affianc
ed wife of a mining operator
worth $500,000, is the step taken
by W ilhelmina M. Schoenberger.
At some future date she will be
come the wife of Adolph Buck,
but the date of the wedding has
not been announced. The bride
elect has been working at the
Nordale for eight years and
F3ock, who has taken a fortune
out of the Hot Springs district,
met (her frequently while stop
ping at the hofeT. After their
marriage Bock plans to make a
tour of the states.
The Iditarod Pioneer says that
the territorial law now provides
a bounty of $to on wolves, but
the bounty is no inducement to
hunters and trappers in this sec
tion of Alaska because of the fact
that the skin and both bones of
the left forearm must be deliv
ered to the authorities. As wolf
skins are worth from $5 to $10
outside, and from $15 to $25 in
this section of Alaska, the ac
ceptancc of the bounty would not
be profitable. The reason for the
high valuation placed on wolf
skins in interior Alaska is that
they arc in great demand both
by natives and whites, who in
dulge in winter travel, for the
trimming of parkas, for which
purpose they are especially
adapted.
Robert Hawkes, oT the Heidel
burg pool room of Juneau, has
filed a petition in bankruptcy,
alleging debts of $1,456.40 and
assets of about $500.
The steel bridge which will
span Qhena slough, between
Fairbanks and Garden island,
will be constructed by the Penn
sylvania Bridge Company of
Beaver Falls, Pa. When the bids
were opened by Lieut. Colonel
Cavanaugh of the corps of engi
neers, United States army, it
was found that the company bid
of $11,529.90 was tile lowest for
the work The specifications
provide that the structure shall
be completed before the close of
lavigation this year and the ina
erial will be sent up the Yukon
ivcr on one of the first steamers
caving St. Michael after the
ipning of navigation.

J. W. Coombs, deputy marshal
tt Haines, has written Marshal
Bishop of Juneau an account of !
he partial burning of, the jail
here as follows, says the Valdez
Prospector of March 8:
Frank Craig, a soldier, was
arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly. He tore a hole in the
mattress and set it on fire. It
was discovered and quickly put
out. Craig was then placed in 1
tht* cell and the deputy marshal ;
told th0 guard to not leave the j
building and to watch him close
ly. The guard was in the office
when he noticed smoke again.
Craig had gathered together ex
celsior and set it on fire and the
whole place was in flames. It
vas with difficulty that he was
-escued alive. The deputy said
'100 would probably cover the
damages.
Capt. Madsen of Juneau, own
er of the launch Grayhound, will
libel the steamer Admiral Evans
for the loss of his boat He
charges that the launch was torn
loose from the dock at Juneau by
file Evans and swamped in the
channel. The Garyhound was sal
vaged by two men who hired a
I1 aunch for the purpose and they
| are now holding the boat ponci
ng a settlement.
Juneau newspapers are much .
perturbed over what would hap
pen to Alaska in the event the1
United States should become
embroiled in a conflict with a
foreign power. They state that
several nations have a better
knowledge of Alaska and its re
sources than has din- United;
States.
Adolph Beck, a well known
mine owner and operator of the
♦Hot Springs district, predicts

He states that the claim of Ho
well & Cleveland, on Woodchop
per creek, will produce in the
neighborhood of one million dol"
, lars.

Advertising
Not An Expense
j Advertising Is An
INVESTM NT
Not an Expense, and Should be
Treated as Such
Because it- has been the habit
of some merchants to look upon
it as an expense, A WRONG
VIEW HAS BEEN GAINED.
Perhaps the misconception arose
from the fact that in bookkeep
ing it has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.
ADVERTISING PRODUCES
NEW BUSINESS.IT SWELLS
THE VOLUME OF BUSI
NESS AND PROFIT, THERE
FORE IT IS AN INVEST
MENT.
Only the man who looks upon
advertising as an expense, who
is afraid of it, prejudiced against
it, loses money in advertising.
The man who treats advertis
ing as an investment and gives it
the attention an investment re
quires—knows that every dollar
rightly invested in this direc
tion yields compound interest—
and more
