NORTH IMPRESSES
MONTANA GOW MAN
i
Believes that Islands to Westward
and Susitna will Furnish Fu
ture Beef Supply of West.
W. R. Bell, a well known Montana
cattleman, and who has been in the
cattle business near Billings, Mon
tana for more than thirty years, be
lieves the Kenai Peninsula offers
greater advantages for cattle and
horse-raising than Montana. He has
filed on a section of land, 640 acres
with a partner, and will bring north
at an early date next spring fifty
cows and several high-class brood
mares, as well as a general farming
outfit.
Bell spent several months in the
district and reports that hundreds of
acres of fine hay is to be found near
his ranch. He believes that the early
Russian settlers had great herds of
cattle in the Kenai district as he saw
unmistakeable signs of this at sev
eral of the old Russian settlements.
The Montana man raises blooded
horses and has promised Prof. C. C.
Georgeson, of the government experi
mental stations, the loan of a stallion
which will be brought north next
spring. Mr. Bell believes that at no
distant date all the larger islands to
the westward will be devoted to the i
cattle-raising industry and that Alas-1
ka will supply the Pacific coast with ;
beef. ;

COMMISSION LITTLE
SHORT OF CHANGE.
Advices from Anchorage state that
recently the Alaskan Engineering
Commission posted notices stating
that the money to pay off the men
had been delayed on account of the
break in the cable. Pay day was
postponed but the men all felt reas

THE RIGHT IDEA
—
Nearly all the old timers of Daw
son knew Alex Pantages, the man
who has made a fortune in the show
business Outside by his brain and
nerve, while thousands of men were
standing around and telling each oth
er how hard times were. He was in
his office one day talking to his local
manager, when a stranger poked his
head in the door.
“See what that man wants,” said
Pantages. “If he wants money, you
talk to him. If he’s got money, let
me talk to him.”—Fairbanks Citizen.

ROAD COMMISSION IS
ENLARGING IIS QEARTKRS
The Alaska Road commission is
erecting an addition in the rear of its
offices in the Seattle Hotel building
in order to relieve the congested
state of the offices since the fire. The
commission occupies the premises
formerly used by the Valdez Trust
& Trust company and has the use of
the fine bank vaults as a protection
for its valuable papers and maps. The
new addition will be 20x18 feet and
will add to the comfort and conve
nience' of the staff.
Sidewalk Being Rebuilt.
Sam McNiece, the contractor, has
a gang of workmen building the side
walk on west Front street, which con
nects with the dock approach near the
Prospector office, to replace the sec
tion of the walk destroyed by fire
last July. The city council is paying
for the labor and the property own
ers facing on Front' street are sup
plying the materials. Among other
property owners who are interested
in having the walk built are Andy
Dieringer, Valdez Dock Company,
George Harrington, George Sanders
and C. G. Ganty. The walk will be a
great convenience for the many peo
ple living near the water front in the
west end of town.
Suit to Collect Fees.
Suit has been started in the dis
trict court by attorneys T. J. Donohoe
and A. J. Dimond, suing the Alaska
Northern Railroad company and W.
J. Boland for $760 alleged to be due
for professional services.

The Cheechaco Society of the Val-!
dez High School held an open door
meeting at Everyman's club house
last night. They rendered an excel
lent program to an appreciative audi-;
ence. Two features of the evening i
were a poem composed by Lurline ■
Leavell and a song on Alaska. The
Society deserves a great deal of credit
for their program. In the debate,
which was well carried out, the af
firmative was upheld by Fred Fish
and Elmer Kidwell and the negative
by Emmet Egan and Theresa John
son. The judges rendered a decision
in favor of the negative.
ALASKA COAL EQUAL TO
THE FAMOUS POCOHONTA8.
C. M. Brown, who has been con
nected with the naval coaling sta
tion at Teburob, California, for the
past ten years, recently made a trip
along' the Alaskan coast in the inter
ests of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission with a view of determining
the best terminal ports for handling
Alaska coal for naval and commercial
purposes. He is very^- optimistic as
to the quality of the Alaska fuel and
the market that will be offered for
the coal.
•‘It is generally conceded that the
Alaska coal is equal in quality to that
of the famous .Pocohantas coal, min
ed in West Virginia,” said Mr.
Brown, "but in my opinion it is su
perior to any fuel now on the market
At the naval stations in California,
Honolulu and the Philippines there
is now used about 7000 tons of coal
per month, and Alaska should furn
ish this is the haul is much shorter
than from British Columbia or Utah,
where the supply now comes from
San Francisco and the ports soutk
want coal. Most of the general car
go ships touching at Frisco burn coal
and there should be a demand for
at least 20,000 tons per month of
Alaska coal from the start. It can
be delivered cheaper and is a much
butter quality* of fuel than we are
now using on the Pacific coast.
“For steaming purposes the Alaska
coal is preferable, as it is volatile
and does not need as much grate sur
face as the other fuels used. In ev
ery case where it has been tested the
number of boilers used has been re
duced. While the Alaska and Poco
hontas coal have both practically the
same heating value per ton the Alas
ka produce can crowd the boiler bet
ter.”

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they* employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
