OFFERING TO REWARD THE IN
GENIOUS.
A dispatch front Nome says that,
as a result of the recent destructive
storm there, the beach is again spread
deep with auriferous sand, and that
more than enough gold to make up
the damage suffered by the little city
will be taken out of it when work can
be resumed net season.
There is more than a hint in that
of the almost incalculable wealth
which lies under water off that bleak
coast, only waiting for somebody to
come along with ingenuity enough
to raise it to the surface. That some
body so equipped Will arrive sooner
or later is certain, and then—-the cost
of living will go up faster and furth
er than ever, if one school of eco
nomists correctly interprets the
movement of prices.
The rivers and glaciers have been
adding steadily to the deposits under
Bering Strait ever since Alaska rose
above the sea. That was not very
long ago, as a geologist views time,
but the period covers a good many
centuries, and the amount of gold is
now doubtless large enough to war
rant operations on an etensive and
expensive scale.
To go after t with a submarine
tunnel would seem to be a rather
promising plan, but presumably that
plan has already been considered by
the experts and for some good rea
son or other rejected as of present
impracticability.—New York Times.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
It is almost enough to make a sen
timental person shed tears of real an
guish when one stops for a moment
and contemplates what might have
been had the local railway system
com pleted its line, even as far as
the Matanuska coal lields.
What a splendid, profitable traffic,
both in passengers and in freight,
this railroad would now be reaping if
the line had been built to the coal
areas.
It is but a step, comparatively
speaking, from there to the Nelchina
gold fields, which bid fair to evolve
into one of the most important camps
in Alaska. Indeed, the Nelchina dis
trict has the earmarks of an enor
mous placer field. A railroad line al
most to its door would he a tremen
dous aid to its development.
This recent gold discovery goes to
show one thing, and that is that rail
road companies, as well as other bus
iness concerns, have got to take a
chance. It is impossible, in a new
and undeveloped country such as
Alaska, to always see in advance
where the traffic is coming from.
Build the line and the traffic will be
there all right.
But it is not too late to take ad
vantage of this opportunity. Here is
a gold camp that will maintain a
railway without a coal tonnage. And,
in time, but perhaps not within the
lives of those now living, the coal
fields may be opened to development.

WHAT DOES MARS WANT?
If the inhabitants of the planet
Mars are really signaling the earth
with blue lights, as Prof. Le Coutrc,
the Percival Lowell of Switzerland,
insists, what can they expect to learn
from this unenlightened globe? Of
course, the Martians know we can
give them only advice while inter
planetary communication is in its
present undeveloped state. We might,
conceivably, rig up a signaling ma
chine at enromous expense, and ac
quire the knack in time, of answer
ing a few simple questions. But in
regard to governing ourselves intel
ligently, regulating our lives in ac
cordance with well-established facts,
obeying natural laws, settling trivial
disputes without bloodshed, we can
tell them nothing that a people so
old and wise as the Martians must
be do not know already..
In fact, this statement that Mars
is looking to us for help of some
kind would be saddening if it came
from a more authoritative source.
We are confident, however, that il
the Martians really want to talk to
the earth they will call up Prof. Per
cival Lowell, who is their best friend
in this part of the solar system. It
is hazardous to assume that the Mar
tians are anxious to talk to us just
because they look a trifle blue. We
have been pretty blue ourselves late

UP IN COURT
Gottchalk Suit Against Plant & Fien
bloom For Value of Diamond
Ring Now Before Court.
The district court was busy today
with the suit of Robert Gottchalk
against Plant & Feinbloom, the jew
elers, who are being sued for the
value of a diamond ring, left by Gott
chalk for repair, and to be cleaned,
but which, he asserts, was never re
turned; while George Reinke is equal
ly positive that he returned the two
diamond rings left by Gottchalk
placing them on the back bar of the
Seattle Hotel and calling the owner’s
attention to the rings.
Gottchalk was the only witness
heard this morning and the case will
take all day and may not be con
cluded until tomorrow. A jury was
secured early this morning to try
the case.
GOMEZ CONCESSION
IN GRAVE PERIL
Havana, Nov. 7.—La Noclie pub
lishes a statement that the Railroad
Commission is considering the revo
cation of the concession to the North
Coast of Cuba Railroad, which was
granted by the Gomez Administra
tion. The reason given is that it is
illegal.
This concession *s the one against
which the British Ambassador at
Washington protested to the Ameri
can State Department last ■winter, al
leging that it injured the interests of
the English-owned Cuban Central
Railroad. It grants a subsidy suffi
cient for the building of a road from
Calbarien to Nuevitas.
The concession is held mainly by
Americans and Cubans.
WOMEN’S GUILD BAZAAR
ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT
The Women's Guild have postponed
their Bazaar from the eighteenth to
the tweny-seventh of November, the
night of Thanksgiving Day. This
combines the Bazaar with the big
dance proposed for the building ex
penses of the new Everyman’s Club
house and Reading Room, now near
ing completion next to the Rectory.
The annual Bazaar, given by the
Women’s Guild is always a big occa
sion with many attractions and well
attended. The whole community
will benefit by the erection and op
ening of the new reading room and
clubhouse and so we are assured that
the whole affair will be popular.
The Cut flowers which have been
ordtred, will arrive on the next boat
and will be placed on salet at once
in one of the McKinley street stores.
Eagle Hall has been engaged for
the Bazaar and dance. The night is
Thanksgiving, Thursday, November

omall 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 the effectiveness of he methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
