WONDERFUL ALASKA
Alaska ami Alaskan waters are won
derful truly wonderful. Their mag
nitude is overwhelming; their seen is
splendors beyond description, of the
mineral resources of the territory the
world as yet has but .\ague knowledge.
The liilticulties in the way of develop
ment of the country are great very
great. Kven with l*ode Sant’s aid in
solving tho problems of transportation,
which should be forthcoming prompth
and; generously, Alaska will not be
opened up fully for many a day. But i
But development is sure. A Goethals
is needed in the emergency. A work
is to be done in Alaska bigger than
that of Panama. It w a work that in
the end will pay as largely as Panama.
Give Alaska a Goethals. with the
power of the national government he- j
hind him, to build railroads and make j
the wealth of the territory available j
and accessible, and simplify the land,
and mineral laws, so that the pioneer!
spirit now dormant will be restored
and promoted, then Alaska will con e
into her own—her di earns come true.
And if Woodrow Wilson s administra
tion shall do this or start the con
structive wotk, ir will be an achieve
ment that will eadure forever.—-Scott
C. Boone, in Seattle P.-I.
The Pioneer brags that the town of
Iditarod is out of debt and has several
thousand dollars in the bank. How
ever, it adds that the streets are in a
very had condition, and should be
fixed.

American rail
roads are the fastest
and safest in the world.
The American trainman
counts his time in seconds.
Foreign railroad men carry no
such watch as the HOWARD.
Official inspection of railroad
watches exists in no other country.
HOWARD Railroad Watches(Icrrr
sttting) are officially certified and adopted
by the time inspectors of one hundred and
forty of the leading railroads of America.
Better than that, their daily performance
is finer, more accurate than the most cxact
I ing railroad requirements.
I The balance-wheelof the HOWARD
1} Watch is made of special hard-tempered
steel—will not knock out of true with the
jar and vibration of railroad service.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is Jl/'d
—railroad models $50 to $140—and a
printed price-ticket attached.
We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you.
