LET’S HAVE AN ICE SKATING RINK
Next to plain work outdoor exercise is the finest
thing in the world for the human race.
Not only will the children enjoy skating on the pro
posed tennis court rink but the grown-ups will probably
be trying to crowd them off. The suggestion put for
ward today by a local business man that the court could
be converted into an ice rink at a nominal expense de
serves carrying thru for there would be no attendant dan
ger, tho danger is eliminated from the lake, when it is
once frozen solid. But having a rink in town means
mother can keep an eye on the children.
Besides it's so much fun to see someone take a tum
ble.

THREE VIOOSE KILLED
FEI MILES FROM TOWN
The ambition of a number of years
was realized yesterday by D. E.
Valade, manager of Brown and Haw^
kins clothing department, when he
shot his first moose up Snow river.
Today, in company with Alec Bolem,
licensed guide and big^game hunter,
and Jack Bailey, one of the young j
successful, trappers of this district, j
Valade is out on Snow river again,
being taught the art of skinning the
animal. Incidentally, it might be
added here, though to them it is no
thing exceptional, Bailey and Bolem
each also obtained a moose yester- j
day, close to where Valade got his. j
Valade’s specimen measured about j
’ !
48 inches, that of Bailey’s around 44 !
i I
inches and Alec’s under that. Alec i
i
says his might be the smallest, but ]
it's a “cinch” his meat will be the j
tenderest.

Camel is the individual
among cigarettes
WHEN anything becomes as popular as
the cigarette is today, there are bound
to be countless brands bidding (or favor.
Some use one appeal and some another.
Camel’s appeal—the appeal to the taste
with the choicest tobaccos grown — has
made such a hit with smokers that it leads
the wdrld. There are many brands, but
only one first—Camel.
Camel leads the world!

! UNDERWRITERS REPORT
The beauties of Alaska and the nat
ural ■wealth of the country are two
little known features of the U. S.
Northern-most Territory, and Major
A. E. Ransom, Alaska manager for
the Occidental Life of Loa Angeles,
\ takes exception to the opinion of the
average American that it is a land of
snow and ice and little business.
Major Ransom makes periodical trips
to the country to keep in touch with
large mimber of Alaska policy hold
ers, he wrote the Underwriters’
Report, some of his observations of
the land. While on this latest trip,
Major Ransom wrote and closed ap
proximately $300,000 of new business
in the Territory.
Country Is Neglected
Alaska covers a territory, he writes,
“one-fifth as large as the whole Unit
ed States, and having in its confines
more wealth than most of the Europ
ean countries, it stands maligned and
neglected by the very people at the
seat of our Government who should
rally to its standard.' One pays six
cents on the Government Railroad, in
stead of three; exorbitant freight
ratefe on the privately-owned steam
ship lines, and yet the hardy ploheers
are bravely fighting the overwhelm
ing odds. Sometime in the future,
politics and politicians will be forced
aside by an awakened people, and
mighty Alaska will come into its own.”
But despite the difficulties, Major
Ransom points out, the Alaskans have
developed beautiful and busy cities,
and have gradually added to the public
works. Schools, highways and other
modem facilities have been created,
and the natural scenic beauties, of
couruse, are ever present.
