lire plan is an excellent one
and will no doubt accomplish a
great deal of good in the way of
assisting in the upbuilding of
local business and also in creat
ing a stronger civic spirit among
the citizens. The established
business houses of a town are
usually the foundations of the
communal prosperity.
No town can be successful in
which business is in a languish

supply but also furnishes support
A tne community in whicu it
exists through the payment of
taxes and through furnishing em
ployment to others.
in practically every commun
ity it is not the private person or
tlie wage earner who supports
the town. It is the business firms.
Eliminate the taxes paid by the
business houses and the town will
soon find itself unable to support
loci.I government or publ'c in
stitutions. There are exceptions
to the rule, of course, but they
are decidedly few'.
Being the primary foundation
of the city’s business, it is plain
ly the duty of all* citizens to give
them such suport as Jies within
their power. In doing this they
help not only the firms to which
they grant their patronage, but
also assist the growth and de
velopment of the whole com
munity.
WOMEN IN PREPARATION.
Boston Record.
Mobilizing women for war ser
vice is a striking manifestation
of the lessons of the war in Eu
rope- How much vitally impor
t mt work the women of any
country may do in the event of
war has been shown in the field
and at home among the belliger
ent nations. How much more ef
fectively this work might be done
with an adequate preparatory
organization is the logical de
duction from the facts in the
exhibit- The women’s section of
the navy league now undei takes
the inauguration of a "national
service department'' and seeks
through registration and organi
zation to have ready, in case of
emergency, trained corps of wo
men who could on the shortest,
notice take up their share of the
duties and responsibilities which
would be thrust on the nation by
war.
We urge all women who can do
so to co-operate in this work
1 he women's section points out
1 that “nurses, expert needlework
ers and women of executive abil
ity who could fill a particularly
useful niche in the economy of
, the country in case of war, will
be registered for the work for
c which they are fitted. All wo
men will be urged to register so
they may be capable of speedy
mobilization in case of war, and
’ emphasis will be laid on fact that
r women of all sorts and conditions
skilled in various branches of
work, may be useful if war comes.
This national service register will
be placed at the disposal of the
government.”
t This is a strictly practical ap
plication of modern ideas of ef
. fectiveness. While the nation is
. preparing in a military sense for
, any emergency, it is essenntial to
j have this complementary service
t otganized on a basis of efficiency.

NOTES
Children under the age of 16
years are not allowed on the
streets of Wrangle after 9 o’clock
at night unless accompanied by a
parent or guardian.
Jack Cronin, of Anchorage, has
a dog team that is worth \yhile.
The Cook Inlet Pioneer states
that he made a trip from Knik to
Anchorage, a distance of sixty
two miles, with four hundred
pounds of freight in one day.
Another body of rich gold
bearing quartz is reported to have
been discovered near Golden,
Fairbanks district. The owners
are reported to have picked up
the lead after running a tunnel
zoo feet into the hillside.
All that interior Alaska needs,
says Seward through it press, is
a railroad from the coast. What
the interior needs, says the Val
dez press, is a wagon road- What
Fairbanks needs, says the Fair
banks Citizen, is both railroad
and wagon road
"King George,” a blind native,
died recently at Wrangell at the
age of 80 years. ‘ King George”
is one of the last living slaves of
the Alaska natives, having been
captured and brought to Alaska
over sixty years ago by the Kla
wock tribe returning from a plun
dering expedition down into the
Canadian territory, and it is pro
bably to that fact that he was
called '“King George.” At the
time he was brought to Alaska
he was only a boy, and worked
as a slave for the Klawock na
tives until the advance of the
United States government placed
that under the Lan. Then he was
given his freedom, although a
close watch was alwrays kept on
him because he was supposed to
be the grandson of an evil spirit
and associated with witchcraft
Last Thursday night burglars
entered the store of Wm. Stub
bins by breaking in through a
rear door and stole about fifty
dollars worth of merchandise, i
clothing, shoes, purses, asokties,
shirts and cuff buttons, says the |
Douglas Nows of January 5. The
manner of gaining an entrance, j
and several oilier earmarks, seem,
to indicate that the Hubbard rob
bery and this may be charged to I
the same gang. About all the;
trace the robbers left are marks!
made by a bloody finger, sup
posed to have been cut in break-1
ing open the door. Mr. Stubbins
says th3t the. robber was evident
ly a gentleman, as he selected
small shoes, and, in going out,
attempted to close the door to
keep the snow out. The police I
of the town are making every ef
fort to locate the guilty party'

permitted to vote, several who re
fused to pledge themselves to this

ing the selecting. After sundry
and divers discussions on the
good of the cause and other mat
ters pertaining to republicanism
and politics, the following were
