ALASKA’S DEVELOPMENT.
Indications are not wanting that
Alaska will with the beginning of
another year witness, a considerable
influx of population. The reports that
are received from many sections
point to this. The mine develop
ments in Southeastern Alaska that
are now nuder way have served to re
new interest in all parts of the ter
ritory. The placer strikes in the
Chisana and Nelchina districts have
added to it. That there will be a
stampede of generous proportions 10
these places cannot be doubted and
that new producing regions will be
the result is equally certain. The
great valley of the Copper river is
as yet virtually unknown from a min
eral standpoint. It has been pros
pected here and there with success
but it is so vast that it has only been
scratched in a few places. The Nel
china strike is proof of this. Hie
White river region has been known
for many years as a highly miner
alized country, but that was practi
cally all that was known about it
until a few advepturous spirits who
had stayed with it made it a mecca
for gold seekers last summer by find
ing a rich deposit of gold. It is now
on the map and will stay there in
definitely, and so, without doubt, will
the Nelchina section; and many oth
er now unknown mineral regions will
•e added to the list with the pass
ing of the years. Seward and Val
dez are making steady progress as
quartz producers without makiig
much noise about it, and there is un
doubtedly a great future for both
sections as quartz camps. The Tan
ana country is not behind in promise,
not only as a quartz producer but
because of i-s agricultural possibili
ties. Quartz mining, too, is assum
ing some proportions in Seward pen
insula, while its placer gold output
will continue to be steady and re
liable for many years to come. As
a matter of fact the development of
Alaska along industrial and commer
cial lines has hardly begun, .luneau
Empire.
VIM BEGETS SUCCESS.
There is nothing els today, be
sides honesty, that is in such sharp
demand as vim. liv ry employer is
looking for it, and the man who has
it usually makes his mark. The world
steps aside for him; he outstrips men
of far greater ability, who are lack
ing in this essent'al. Resolutions,
however good, are powerless without
the energy to execute them. Vim
clears the track. People get out of
the way for it. They will not make
the passage for the man who wishes
to get on; who‘desires to be some
body, but who is afraid to go ahead;
but they believe in the man of quick
determined action, and instinctively
give way to let him pass on his way.
A prominent accident insurance
man says the common belief that a
person is more liable to accident while
traveling than while living the sim
ple life at home is erroneous. Rail
way disasters that are attended with
loss of life and personal injuries are
given such wide publicity that it is
a very natural colidusion that they
furnish a large share of the claims
for accident insurance. "As a mat
ter of fact,” he says, "statistics show
acc’dent insurance companies pay
more losses to the people who get
injured in their own homes or on
their premises than they do to the
people hurt in railway accidents. In
surance companies pay more money
to people who get hurt hanging pic
tures or taking stoves apart than
f’ey do to victims of head-on collis
ions. It sounds strange, but it is the
truth.”
As long as the world goes around
there will be some men who will be
able to tell you how to run your bus
iness; women will be able to see the
faults of their neighbors while fault
less themselves; the weather will hp;
either top hot pr too cold, too wet or
too dry; women will continue to get
off street cars backwards; ice will
continue to freeze with the slippery
side up; the sun will continue to
rise in the east ami set in the west
and the dissatisfied man will continue
to be able to fill the public offices
better than the man who holds the of
fice.

States is worth $20 in cash, when
the value is estimated on the value

The Cook Stove.
(fey George Fitch).
The cook stove is the boon com
i panion of the housewife.
The cook stove sticketh closer to
I the housewife than a brother, and
i twice as close as a husband. The
| husband sits across the table from his
j wife and re ds the paper, but the
1 cook stove snuggles close up to her
| and glows in her face, and burns her
apron and her forearm, and spatters
hot lard in her eye.
The cook stove has a temperature
of 145 in its oven and 212 in its im
mediate vicinity. This is unfortun
ate, because if its oven were larger
the housewife might sit therein and
| be more comfortable while the meat
was roasting on a chair in the kitch
en
The cook stove consumes coal and
wood with visible reluctance. It is
harder to start than an automobile.
Man thinks he Is abused because his
wife sits on the tonneau and rests
while he toils at the crank in front
and melts his collar and the sur
rounding iron work with his rage.
But man has just begun to get his in
' the last ten years, whereas women
have been starting cook stoves in one
form or another since the world be
Ran.
Tlie cook stwve is mild and deject
ed in the winter, and often declines
to start at all. When the thermom
eter is thirty below nothing but kero
sene will start a cook stove, and
many a bereaved husband points with
pride to the patch In the roof, which
covers the hole made by his wife
when she went alott by the kerosene
i route. But in the good old summer
time the cook stove does not hesitate
to burn. It will start on anything,
and will acquire a healthy red color
on two lumps of coal and a shingle.
When the weary husband comes home
at six o'clock and throws himself in
to his arm chair, he has to shut the
! kitchen door to keep from being
; broiled alive by the faithful and en
i ergetic cook stove, over which his
wife is at that moment bending, iry
j ing to restrain it from burning $1.75
I worth of beefsteak to a cinder,
i Women may not be mentally cap
■ able of wiping then tired hands and
hurrying down to the polls rwice a
year, but they can do wonderful
things on the cook stove. The cook
| stove, under woman’s guiding genius,
i has made millions of men contented
| and fat. It has also made the wo
i men of the world the principal sup
! porters of religion. Somehow, after
a woman has come to know a cook
I stove inside and out, and summer
I and winter, she has a fear of the
extreme sultriness of future punish
ment which cannot be obtained by a
mere man.

Too Much Talk.
Full many a merchant, in his
gloomy store, in sorrow sits, and won
ders as he weeps, why people come
to buy his goods no more, those goods
piled up in dusty, musty heaps. “I
wonder how,” in agony he moans,
■■I’ve got myself, apparently, in Dutch?
Few men come here to spend their
shining bones”—the answer is,> he al
ways talked too much. "1 wonder
why,” a lonely housewife sighs, “my
husband stays from borne whene’er
he can? He used to say that 1 had
starry eyes, that 1 was fashioned on
the goddess plan. And now the love
that once he did profess, seems crip
| pled sore, and hobbling on a crutch;
I vhat have 1 done to earn this dire
j distress?” The answer is. she al
; ways talked too much. The care
j worn man, who's searching for a
job, drags on his feet in weariness
and woe; "I wonder why," he mur
murs with a sob, “misfortune dogs
me, everywhere I go? To earn suc
cess I’ve striven and I’ve strained,
and only sorrow do I seem to meet;
my jobs are lost as soon as they are
gained, and on my uppers I must tread
the street. Am 1 a Jonah, or the
sport of fates? 1 hoodoo all and ev
erything I touch; why must I beg for
handouts at the gates?” The answer
is, he always talked too much.

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business done does not always depend on the
size of the store. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their larger neighbors
handling the same line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon flie effectiveness of .he methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods :s the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
