A FAC SIMILE LETTER FROM A TELEGRAPH OPERATOR.
E. S. Hewitt & Company, Cliitina, Alasku, Nov. 11,1916.
Juneau, Alaska.
Dear Sirs:
Enclosed find check for $44.50 for balance due on my new “Silent Smith.”
I am well pleased with the machine. Find it to be just what you represented and better
than that, I have learned to like it and find it faster than the Underwood. I gave it a very good
test during the election. Took seventy-seven bulletins and all commercial work besides. I
will always have a good word for the L. C. Smith hereafter. Very respectfully,
F. W. S.
Call at our office and inspect this high-grade typewriter and satisfy yourself that it is the best.

TALKEETNA DISTRICT.
Following is the progress report of
the Talkeetna district for the week
ending November 26:
Residency 255.
Construction of the buildings for
this residency is completed, with tne
exception of the interior detail work,
which will be done next week.
Crib .at < Camp 221.
This work is progressing satisfac
torily. The first timber w'as placed
December 1. On account of the jam
ming of the ice in the river, thus
causing it to pile up on the banks, four
or five feet of ice excavation had to be
made in soaae instances.
Kashwitna.
The construction of the camp build
ings at this place will be commenced
the first of next week.
General.
The temperature between Montana
creek and Dead Horse varied during
the week from 10 above to 30 below
zero, and for two days past a severe
north wind has been raging. The river
has jammed and overowed intermit
tently but next week will probably see
it frozen over permanently for the
winter. On this account it has been
practically impossible to do'freighting
over the ice.
The trail from Kashwitna into
Camp 174 has been completed .thus es
tablishing communication between
these points.
TEL. AND TEL DEPARTMENT.
Talkeetna-Matanuska.
Material for colsing the gap be
tween Mile 174 and Montana creek is
at Matanuska and will be forwarded
as soon as there is sufficient snowfall
to make good sledding.
Townsite Telephone Exchange.
The combination light-telephone
pole work for both the terminal yards
and townsite has been completed. This
includes ■ the'line of poles from the
plant to the buildings on the west side
of the tracks in the yards, and to the
new hospital. Anchors for the guying
are all placed, except at the lower end
of the terminal yards.
Electrict Light and Power.
The entire week was utilized in
pushing the power plant installation.
SEWARD DIVISION.
Following is the progress report of
the Seward division for the week end
ing December 2:
The force at work on the Kern creek
bridge is making satisfactory progress
despite the cold weather, as are the
station gangs between Kem and Gla
cier creeks. The section crews at
Mile 45 and Mile 52 have been laid off
for the winter. Work on the railroad
approach to the Seward dock has
again been resumed.
On December 7 a new train sched
ule went into effect, and until further
notice a mixed train will leave Sew
ard at 8:30 a. m. every Monday,
Thursday and Saturday for Mile 40;
returning will leave Mile 40 at 1:00 p.
m. the same day for Seward. The
train made its last trip to Kern creek
on December 5. Engine No. 4, with
10 at cars, two box cars and a ca
boose are tied up at Kern creek' for
the winter.
POLITICAL CHAFF.
(Juneau Dispatch.)
Well, if seasoning and long service
counts there is no reason Senator
Frank A. Aldrich should not be the
next president of the territorial sen
ate. One term in the house and two
terms in the senate in three sessions
of the legislature is some record.
Now that the eight-hour law has
passed the referendum by a tremen
dous majority, none of the astute pol
iticians appear to want to hitch their
cart on its tail. Who will introduce
the bill ?
If the democrats want to start
something really worth while they
should indite somebody for illegal vot
ing last November. 7th. There is an
old saying about bricks, bay windows
or stones and glass that fairly well
fits the case.
Alaska should be.fairly treated with
Key Pittman, democratic chairman of
the senate committee on territories
and Congressman Johnson, republican,
chairman of' the house committee on
territories. Doth are real friends of i
Alaska. Both will assist Alaska in:
congress on every occasion.
Hon. J. R. Heckman, senator-elect
from the First division, left last week
for California where he will remain
until February.
Thomas Jefferson Donohoe, demo
cratic national committeeman for Al
aska, is said to be out after the scalp
of a certain Mr. Spense, a Georgia de
mocrat now serving as U. S. attorney
in the Third division.
The hand that sways things politic
ally in the First division is shortly to
drop the axe across the neck of Judge
Stackpole, the Ketchikan U. S. com
missioner. Judge Stackpole talked in
| his sleep, and rumor has it he was
dreaming republicanism..

Have You Had This Letter?
If a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn’t
much of a success—wouldn’t you? A man who does not
use modem business methods cannot possibly compete with
the man who does. A man who pays all his bills by cash
and never by check does not impress people with being a
successful man.
If you pay your bills by checks on your Bank Account here
you are writing upon the Letter Head of Success.
