TENCENT CARNIVAL.
Tonight and tomorrow- hight, at the labor temple, public
spirited citizens of Anchorage will hold a carnival for the pur
pose of raising funds*for the benefit of any needy sourdough
Alaskan that may be among us. There lias been need for such
a fund to draw upon in the past. Several worthy pioneers of
the northland have become ill here, and found themselves, as a
result, in sore distress through financial inability to care for
themselves. It is for the specific purpose of raising a fund for
an emergency of this kind that public-spirited citizens, led by
sourdoughs, are taking the initiative in the matter. Therefore,
The Times takes pleasure in urging a most liberal patronage
for the Ten-cent Carnival. The purpose is wholly humanitar
ian and on this high ground is entitled to support. The funds
derived from the carnival will be strictly devoted to the project
in view.
Under the caption, “Men Who Are Making America,”
Leslie’s Weekly, each week, runs a “life history” of some fi
nancial king. The .latest Leslie’s to reach Anchorage contains
a review of the activities of one George W. Perkins, once a
partner in the banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co.
According to the life narrative of George, in early youth he
showed signs of unusual talents—toward the making of money,
and lie’s been going some in this direction ever since, until now
be is worth something over $50,000,000 or more. But George
doesn’t care for money—so he says. His ambition in life is to
better the condition of his fellow man, and to this end, after he
has accumulated more than is possibe for a single individual
to spend, even if he possesses the podigality of a “Coal Oil
Johnnie”—which George does not—he is devoting himself to
the uplift of less fortunate humans. It is astonishing what
high and lofty attributes these financial lords possess, when the
matter is left in the hands of such a brilliant writer as Forbes.
The Cook inlet country is gaining- some good advertising!
through the efforts of Mrs. Robert A. Hatcher, of Knik, who is 1
now in tlie national capital, working in behalf of the Wicker
sham prohibition law. The wires inform us that her speech
before the house committee which is considering this bill, in
support of the measure, was the best ever heard in Washington
on the subject of temperance. Those who know this talented
lady can easily believe what the wires tell us in this respect.
Mrs. Hatcher is a remarkably clever speaker and lias made a
deep study of the subject of temperance. Her husband, Robert
A. Hatcher, was one of the original discoverers of gold quartz
veins in the Willow creek gold camp, and is well known to the
old-timers in the Cook inlet country, j
It is not a pleasant duty that confronts the board that will
officially canvass the delegate election returns. One side or
the other is bound to “cuss” them, so close is the result on the
face of the returns received by the respective clerks of the court
in the four divisions of Alaska.
As we have had occasion to say before, those basketball
games are well worth seeing and you are missing a treat by fail
ing to attend them. There will be another game Sunday after
noon.
It is a mighty good thing for some of us householders that
are entirely out of coal oil that the days are beginning to
lengthen. i

Talkeetna, Jan. 7.
To The Timse:
Mrs. Hill, wife of Horace Hill, forer.
man on railway construction, is suffer
ing from a severe burn on her arm,
caused by the overturning of a pan of
hot water while engaged in cooking a
Christmas dinner. - The burn is; a pain
ful one and Mrs. Hill will bfe laid up
for a month or more.
Albert Berg, of the Talkeetna Lum-1
ber company, and Mrs. Berg, have
gone to the railway camp known as
“Dead Horse Hill," where Mrs. Berg,
who is ill, entered the hospital.
Following a severe cold spell of
about 60 degress below zero, came a
heavy snow fall of about three feet.
The snow fell without cessation for 48
hours. But the U. S. mail was on
time, as usual.
The Wells brothers and Coffey have
begun freighting six tons of supplies
to their property in the Broad Pass
country. One load has been taken to
its destination.
Springer'and Morris- are having
their summer food supplies put up
here at Nagley’s store. They .will
take in five tons of supplies to the
Iron creek country.
The Pioneer placer men are begin
ning to get ready for an early start to
the diggings. A successful season is
predicted on account of the heavy
snow fall and consequent plethora of
water.
j .-Herds of caribou are seen crossing
the Susitna river on the ice. Herds of
f ■ ■ •
ten have crossed the river just on the
verge of this settlement, in plain view
of everybody.
The inining men located in this sec
tion say Talkeetna will be a lively
camp this season. The copper and
placer outlook is very flattering and
leads to the belief that a mining
camp will eventually be developed.
Cupid visited Talkeetna last week,
when Depty U. S. Marshal Healy and
Miss Anna Nessit were married, Judge
Wolff officiating. After the wedding
ceremony, a dainty supper was served
by the newlyweds to a few of their
friends.
The native children in this section
were remembered on Christmas by the
white folks of Talkeetna. There was
plenty of homemade candy and other
gifts for all of the little natives and
they enjoyed a huge time.

IMPROVING THE ORDINARY WAY.
The difference between work done in the ordinary way and
i that done in a scientific way is often very great. While tonring
through California several years ago I saw two piles of corn,
one the result of a row planted in the ordinary way, the other
which had been cultivated on scientific principles, witli special
I preparation of the soil. The second pile weighed nearly twice
i as much as the first, and the ears were larger and better formed.
And as I looked I thought of all the many thousands of
business enterprises that are being conducted in the ordinary
way, and of the greater results which might be obtained if they
i were conducted on a more thorough and intelligently system
I atic plan.

There is no business where you can see the -difference
[quicker than in a drug store, and for many years 1 have been
I trying to keep my drug stores up with the very latest thought,
in our field. Tl^e most important factors in the development of
a business are service and quality. It is not easy to maintain
the standard of service where it is almost impossible to receive
new merchandise to replace stock sold. We are constantly re
ceiving goods by express and parcel post. But under all cir
cumstances we will keep our standard of Quality. We buy only
the very best, irrespective of the price, and by coming or send
ing to us you will always be assured of two tilings—
SERVICE AND QUALITY.
