KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1915.
LETUS GET TO ~GETHER
The time seems epportr.ce for the business men slid
everybody else of the town to get together pnee more
and institute a publicity campaign that will wake up the
natives, if no one else, and bring them in to h-.sp keep
business lively throughout the winter, meanwhile, furn
ishing food to capital for thoughts.
Telegraphic news of yesterday indicates that the
fishermen are willing to come here and land their catch
es, provided the transportation companies can be made to
tome down from their high horses.
Now to get down to buaiaess. we u»iy state that
the Progressive has tad displays of vegetables, that any
country could well be proud of. Our mining prospects
in the immediate vicinity of Ketchikan, lay dormant for
the want of capital Copper, gold, gyps am and many
other varities of minerals are lying ail over, from the
surface down. We have marble- timber and kelp U s.
a plenty and the test in the land, offering opportunities
almost too numerous to mention. These op port unities
are practically unknown to the world and are Just waiting
to be developed.
If we want capital to come in- we must let capita!
know that opportunities are here. tapitai Is not in the
habit of taking a pack on its bs-;k and roam tue h■.■ s
over looking for opportunities. But show cpi' , u 'p
portunity. and it will soon take a chance.
In order to bring capital to Ketchikan, we must
bestir ourselves. To that end, let ;g get together
establish a publicity bureau along the lines of the Alas
ka Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and let
us work t.getker. Ket.-aiian is Alaska's gat-way;
bearing that in min i- a building could be secured and ex
hifcits displayed, gathered from every part .f Alaska,
showing whence they came, ete., thereby not only a Iver
tising Ketchikan and vicinity bat the territory l:- gener
al. W'hv not meet and discuss this matter!

ERROES CORRECTED

wti* shown to have boon fined Sn the muni
■ . -j for ”pe-Idling liuqor. This wo* n error
the peddling constituted of the selling a set of fur, ami
not liquor. *
Another error that we desire to correct- and that
is, the article on toe last page of yesterday's issns he’d
d ‘WITCHERY HOLDS SWAY AT K1LLISNOO.' ’

FISH TRUST IS MIGHTY
There is no nse of talking, the Fish Trust is the
boss.
Those of us who ever thought that the Fish Trust's
| power was somewhat limited, must have had but very
i little to do with it. A year or so ago, a few members
1 of the trust were indieted. They were annoyed. They
picket! up and went to Prince Rupert, leavirg the “wise
: ones” of battle gaping. It was not long, however,
before the wise ones took a tumble, as it were. Their
fish trade fel! off from the whole thing down to eom
S paratively nothing. The wise ones got to work, and
[work they did- grasping at every straw in an endeavor to
bring back the Trust, but the Trust is an obdurate kind
j of a beast, and there was no coming back and away
from Seattle it stayed, apparently well plesed. Now
bring failed to bring back the trust, the wise ones of
: Seattle are trying to get the twin-nor tat ion companies
to help in bringing the “beast” home by the simple
process of reducing the the rates from Alaska to Seattle
J tor all the fish, fresh or salted. Of course. If Seattle
succeeds, it will help Ketchikan, and while this may be
an iiup >rtaut point to consider, yet that is not the point
t we want to make dear. The point is the Importance
j »nd power of the Trust, when transportation companies
alone can handle it.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR GROWING SOULS
ii i |— —
Has it ever occureJ to you that every time we
couple the “I an:” with a negative statement, that we
are unwittingly making for ourselves undesirable condi
tions of body and affairs! By this negative attitude,
we virtually deny or dishonor or.r Maker, and ally our
selves with mortal sense.
Everv time we declare “I am sick, ”1 am poor,
we do violence to our own Highest, shutting the door on
j health and prosperity and opening the way for disease
:3*ui disaster.
Today, we are reapisij the thinking of yesie: lay
j?•!| bv our present mental attitude, we are making the
1 events of tomorrow. Lei us quit b- wailing our lot and
I keep in mind this unfailing law of sowing and reaping—
j wiselv govern in gv-v:r thinking accordingly.
••It is the little foxes that spail the vine ” the
[small worms that distvrb our peace and threaten our
equanimity.
Let us rejoice that we are not required to bear
the burdens of tomorrow or next week iu advance* but
each dav. we are to come in chib; like faitti and obed
ience. asking daily strength for daily needs.
Let as take heed that we do r.- t misuse tie strnegth
for today in regret or apprehensiveness—In mourn!:.,
over misspent yesterdays, or dreading wnat the future
niav hold for us. Instead let as live in the now. and
rest in the assurance that “as our day is, so shall our
strength be.”—Betty Pennington 1'rost in “Feredation
Bulletin.!'
