Supplies for the Episcopal Mis
sions on the Yukon and Tanana
Rivers, and including a big river
launch, are being shipped to St.
Michael by ocean boats and from
there freighted on the river this
year instead of shipping them to
Seward and over the Alaska Rail
road to their destination as has
been done peviously, according to
the Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe,
Bishop of Alaska, and reported by
the Fairbanks News-Miner.
The supplies were brought in
via St. Michael because of the high
freight rates on the Railroad. Bi
shop Rowe expressed himself
strongly in connection with the
increase in Alaska Railroad rates
and intimated that should the
rates remain unchanged next year
all church supplies may be brot
up the river.
“I object strongly to the whole
thing,” declared Bishop Rowe. “The
railroad was not built to make
money but to develop the resources
of the country and it was well
known that a deficit would be in
curred every year. These present
rates make development almost
impossible.”
What he termed “unkind par
ties” of Congressmen know more,
in their opinion, than those who
have lived in the country for a
long time, but “it is preposterous,
to me,” said the bishop, “that they
should shape the policies of the
Territory from knowledge gained
on hurried trips.”
The whole country is affected
by the increased rates, he believes,
and he said they are going to
make a very important difference
insofar as tourist travel to the In
terior is concerned.
“The Government spends mil
lions of dollars every year on far
more unworthy projects than the
Alaska Railroad,” remarked Bishop
Rowe.
If the Alaska Railroad is to be
run at all the bishop thinks the
logical way would be to carry
passengers and freight at such a
rate as would tend to open up the
country.
“I believe,” he said, “the rail
road will have a bigger deficit
than ever before. I don’t blame
the railroad management here for
this condition of affairs. I blame i
the congressmen.”

Did you ever stop to
think
(By Edam R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma)
The best sellers owe their prosperity t®
continuous advertising.
No business concern can afford to pass up
the opportunity advertising offers to make
faster sales and increase popularity.
Those who offer their wares or service
through the printed page are the ones the pub
lic knows best. People always buy things they
know about in preference to those they never
heard of.
THERE IS ALWAYS BUSINESS FOR
THOSE WHO AGGRESSIVELY GO AFTER
IT BY ADVERTISING.
THE FATE OF MANY A BUSINESS IS
SEALED BY LACK OF ADVERTISING,
THEIR EXISTENCE BEING UNKNOWN
TO THE BUYING PUBLIC.
CONTINUOUS ADVERTISERS ARE
THOSE WHO YEAR AFTER YEAR SELL
TO A STEADILY INCREASING NUMBER
OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.
