DILL JONES
Winter is approaching and the
children’s school expense will be
higher this year than last. Bill
looks forward to less income in
the regular way. Many industries
have shifted to the “zigzag” p’an
for their employees in an effort
to help everyone thru the winter
This means that each employee
will have about half as much in
come. Prices of clothing and food
have come down some, but not in
keeping with the “zigzag” income.
There will be just as much coal to
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
He has some money in the sav
ings bank drawing 3 per cent in
terest. While it is true that money
was put there for a “rainy day”
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day.” He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a man
in exactly his financial condition
has invested part of his 'money
and has made enough return to
give him the added income he
needed. But Bill knows there is
some speculation with every in
vestment, no matter what it is or
how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
should take any chances on either
his savings account or his present i
income. Of course his savings ac- ;
count is not absolutely safe; he j
realizes more money has been lost !
by depositors thru bank failures J
during the last 10 years than
thru any single line of investment
other than the stock market crash
in 1929. Being a true American j
and realizing that “nothing risked,j
nothing gained,” he likes to take
a chance. Bill is a cautious fel
low and wants to speculate, but
he doesn’t want to lose his money.
So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed” promises and impractical
guarantees that flood the mails
and seeks out a chance to specu
late with the safety of a flowing
oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in
big, Bill should make a profit ;
of 10 times his investment. It
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he has the
speculative chance of making a
real fortune if the new well comes '
in good. He wants to speculate j
with his “fingers crossed, ’ as it j
were, and that* is exactly what j
he does when he accepts our spe- {
cial Pool offer, and shares in one :
gusher while we drill for another, j
Write us for full information,!
but better still—mail us $20, $100, |
or even $200, and share in our I
next dividend. If you are like |
Bill Jones, we might help you.

<By Special Correspondent)
When the last local freight tar
iff No. 16-A was issued it marked
the first time dogs had made the
index. Up to then the pooches
traveled as excess baggage, but
now it is big time for them. If
they only knew, the chances are
they would take a chunk out of
somebody’s heel, only higher up
toward the neck.
The Glory Hole, two and a half
miles north of McKinley Park, and
first given that name in The
Gateway three years ago, and
which has been adopted by all
the railroad men, has been made
an asset by the railroad, where
all tourist trains stop and the
tourists get out, crane their necks
to see the bottom and throw in
rocks and giggle. The Glory Hole
caused the railroad to shift its
tracks a number of time, and
when no longer able to shift any
more, a detour had to be shoveled
out through the hill. It has been
a big expense to the railroad and
is said to have cost more than
a half doezn right-of-way men
their jobs. The Glory Hole got
its start in 1924, at the time of
the big fire, which is believed to j
have been started by a railroad j
bull setting fire to two cabins be- j
longing to some bootleggers, and;
five miles south of there.
The large Geological Survey
party that worked in the Park the
past summer have disbanded.
They had 14 bucking cayuses, of
which seven were given to the
railroad, four to Malcolm Elliott
and three to Edmunds, for saddle
critters.
At the recent fair at Fairbanks,
McKinley Park stole a march
upon the Tanana and Matanuska
valleys by grabbing off first prize
on wild hay. Also got two first
prizes on silver foxes.
Alaskans have been handed a
new game to while away an idle
hour. Blanks with an affidavit
attached have been sent in to a
Lot around here who had mostly j
savings accounts in Outside banks j
that recently went belly-up. The
depositors have only their pass
books, many of which have not
been posted for several years, so
that interest has not been credit
ed, but are required to make an ;
iron-clad affidavit what the face •
value of their deposit is, just as
Lf the bank didn’t know a thing J
about bookkeeping. One Park em- j
ployee played safe by sinking his j
dough in three Outside banks,
and will be lucky if his dividends
balance the cost of his affidavits.
Nearly all have lost from a half j
a day to a day and a half work, j
traveling expenses, etc., to prove
their accounts. An old sock would
not require so much red tape.
Workmen are busy erecting a
fence around a patch of public
domain, four miles square, to
house the band of yaks that vex
ed the people along the railroad
the past summer. It is rumored
the Alaska Railroad will be the
first railroad in the world to equip
their engines with “yak catchers."
They can make a hit next sum
mer by calling the crack tourist
train the “Yak Yak."
With colonists costing about
$2,000 each and expenses, it’s a
shame Alaska couldn’t get a whole
dozen to save her face.

tourist to a Park guide (after
