knik the Logical Route.
The easiest ami most feasible route
to the diggings is via Knik. To the j
Matanuska coal fields, a distance of
sixty miles, thareis a good wagon road |
which will be kept open in the winter j
by the hauiing of coal from the mines;
to tidewater. From the coal mines to!
within t wenty miles of the heart of the
camp there is a good horse trail that
has been used for t! e past two years.
There are no steep grades on this trail,
except in the la>t ten miles. All
creeks are bridged. \\ hen the Mata
nuska river freezes, the distance Irotn
Knik to the camp will be shortened
t went \ miles, with the trail a water
grade.
In the summer months the trip can
be made from Krnk in from live to
seven days, afoot. Every man at Knik
and vicinity, who can get an outfit and
a dog team, will hike for the diggings
this winter. Most of them plan on
leaving here about the first of the year.
It is getting too late now to take j
horses, as feed is very scarce. Horses
are at a premium here and dogs are
equally scarce.
Ed Wooo's pack train will leave iu
a few days, eoroute to \ aidez via the
I
diggings.
Fred Laubner is quite ill and plans
on departing tomorrow, euroute to
Seward. _

Aeroplane Hying
imposes unforeseen
and trying conditions on a
watch. The aeroplane
vibrates constantly. It tilts
at all angles. Often it lands
with a jolt that would ruin
the balance-wheel of many
a watch.
The Wright Brothers had most
r unsatisfactory experiences with all
3 the watches they tried in Europe
and America—until they adopted
the HOWARD.
The HOWARD Watch is
the finest practical timepiece in the
world. Its special hard-tempered steel
balance cannot jolt out of true with the
roughest service. The HOWARD ad
justment is permanent.
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 fixed
-~$40 to ^ 150—and a printed price-ticket
attached.
y We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. w-' *
