MAKE REPAIRS NOW
Much could be done toward making the few months
left of winter profitable if those in need would have
needed repairs made about their homes and other build
ings now, instead of waiting until spring. The work
can geerall be accomplished as weell a tthis season of
the year as in midsummer.
Waiting until summer to do repairs and building
is more or less of a habit which has increased with the
years.
Another excellent reason this work should be done
before spring is because Seward is going to be a busy
place next summer. Do it now!
It is always good business to make repairs prompt- j
]y, and they may be made now, undoubtedly* at less
cost than a few months later. This is not purely a local
appeal but a movement which is being broadcast thru- j
out the world* And a sensible one, too.
CARRYING ON
If Alaska had a hundred Nellie Neil Lawing’s this j
Territory would be several jumps ahead of its present
status. She is the woman of the big heart, the far-see
ing eye and unflagging optimism. She loves Alaska and
never ceases to speak a good word for her adopted
land. She has seen much of it and has been thru some
stirring experiences,—she calls them adventures. Nellie
is now taking an occassional hour off from many duties
and is writing a book which will undoubtedly be a most
interesting volume.
Nellie Neil was the only woman contractor in the
history of the Alaska Railroad construction days. She
is known and respeected by everyone in Alaska and!
also by thousands in the States where she occassion- j
ally sojourns in connection with the spreading of the
gospel of Kenai Lake, her lodge at La wing, in fact,!
boosting all of xAiaska 100 per cent. She has lectured be
fore many clubs in the States; she has appeared on the
pulpit, costantly telling the world about Alaska.
Verily* we are proud of her and her works. ‘Tis I
a vain desire, indeed, but we wish Alaska had thous- j
onds like her.
Chicago bankers offer $2,500 for each robber kill
ed in action, probably with a view to relieving unem
ployment among gonmen.
