we’l satisfies! that they have at last
found the “real stuff.” This is to
be ho|H-d. a» business was never
duller than at the present time, j
and it is the expert opinion of peo- ■
of people who claim to know that
husiuess will go ahead even better
than last year. There are enough
men here however to supply the

needed.
Mr. Maurer, a man of experience
in the wharf anti townsite business,
and who is backing the King town-|
site at Big Kayak island is in town j
with his wife and sister. Mr. I
Maurer says that there is every i
reason to believe that this will be ;
the biggest place ou the coast, anti i
that every indication tends to show i
a successful business and coal and
oil center here. Piles are already j
cut for the wharf and work will he;

In another column mij he I
found an advertisement intended j
for the benefit of bachelors. We
have many of them in Alaska,
some of whom should take advan
tage of the opportunity offered to
serure a wife. Just think of it, a
wife for fifty dollars. Why a wife
is cheap at any price, and besides ■
a man is at liberty to choose from
several nationalities. He is not
compelled to “keep company” for
a year *>/ two, and lie under the
expense all that time of buying ice
cream, candies, etc. All he lias to
do after sending for his choice is to
meet her oi the wharf and proceed
at once tn the parson’s and there
settle the business. This would
'•e of inealfiihihle value to Alaska,
where the js.pulntion is scant and
o .r sellout nouses not over crowded
We beiieve the advertisers to la* a
