IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
It is almost enough to make a senti
mental person shed Years of real an
guish when one stops for a moment
and contemplates what might have
beeu had the local railway system dom
pleted its line, even as far as the Mata
nuska coat fields.
What a solendid, profitable traffic,
both in passengers and in freight, this
railroad would now lie reaping, if the
line had been built to the coal areas.
it is hut a step, comparatively speak
ing, from there to tlie IJelchina gold
fields, which bid fair to evolve into one
of the most important camps in Alaska.
Indeed, the Nelehina district has
lias the earmarks of an enormous placer
field. A railroad line almost to its
door would he a tremendous aid to its
development.
This recent gold discovery goes to
show one thing, and that is, that rail
way companies, as well as other busi
ness concerns, nave got to take a chance. ]
li is impossible, it a new and undevel-i
oped country such as Alaska, Loalways!
see, in advance, where tlie traffic is (
coming from. Build the line, and the j
traffic will be there alright.
But it is not too late to take advan-,
tage of this opportunity. Here is a !
gold camp that will maintain a railway, j
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.

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 (lever
setting) arc 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 exact
l ing railroad requirements.
The balance-wheel of the HOWARD
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 Jtxid
—railroad models $5° to $140—and *
printed price-ticket attached.
We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. _
