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.

SEPARATE
(Juneau Dispatch.)
A complete form of territorial gov
ernment for the First judicial division
of Alaska, to be known as the Terri
tory of Seward.
Delegate Wickersham is prepared to
introduce such a bill in congress pro
vided the people of the First judicial
division will enforce it as a non-par
tisan one. Also other movements must
not only have the indorsement of the
press of southeast Alaska, but the mu
nicipal governments heads, is the opin
ion of Delegate Wickersham, express
ed in Juneau yesterday.
Delegate Wickersham sent a wire to
Juneau during his campaign indorsing
this move. He is now willing to make
good provided he can have the support
of both democrats and republicans in
this division. Delegate Wickersham
does not want the issue to be made a
political one and result in defeat for
that reason.
Two propositions have been under
discussion. One was the creating of
two delegate divisions in Alaska and
the election of two delegates to con
gress. The other is the one cuttfng
off the First division from the Terri
tory of Alaska, renaming it and giv
ing it separate territorial form of gov
ernment. The latter is being gener
ally indorsed as a non-partisan move
ment in which all citizens can join.
The movement starts first with an
invitation to the press of southeast
Alaska to discuss it with a view of
ascertaining sentiment for it in dif
ferent localities. The second will be
the calling of a convention at Juneau
in January to be attenaea by tne
mayor of every municipality in the
First division to draft the petition to
congress. The third move will be the
ratification of the petition by the next
territorial legislature.
Discussing the matter with the Dis
patch yesterday Delegate Wickersham
said he heartily favored such a move
provided it was backed by the people
of the First division. “I am not sup
porting it to advance any political as
pirations of my own,” said Delegate
Wickersham. “If I' am defeated for
delegate when the official count is fin
ished I would not be a candidate for
delegate again. I promised to sup
port such a measure if it was the wish
of the people of the First division and
I will do so.”
Wherever the Dispatch has heard
the matter discussed it has created a
favorable impression. The movement
will take both time and effort and
clubs should be formed all over the
First division to push the matter. In
the meantime the newspapers of the
First division are asked to discuss it
editorially.
- The creation of the new territory
would give a new set of federal and
territorial offiials. The present ter
ritorial offices ot attorney genera!
and treasurer would be removed to the
new capital of the old territory. In
their place would be elected new of
, ficials. The federal courts and other
federal officials would remain in new
territory.

TIDE TABLES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—R. L.
Faris, acting superintendent of the i
department of commerce, U. S. coast
and geodetic survey, announces that
new tide tables for 1917 have been
received from the printer and are
ready for distribution and include
many new features this year.
These cover the tides for the Atlan
tic and Pacific ports', including Alas
ka.
Full predictions for every day of
the year are given for seven more
ports than formerly, thus covering
the coasts of the United States and
Alaska in a more comprehensive j
manner.
For instance, regarding Alaska is
the following:
For Juneau, in southeastern Alas
ka, and Seldovia in Cook inlet, Alas
ka, both of which are most important
additions, as both serve as ports of
reference for subordinate ports in
large areas where the tide differs
greatly from any other principal
port.
For Apokak, Alaska, to serve as a j
standard port of reference in the
newly-chartered Kuskokwim river
country,-and which is essehtial for
same navigation.
The table of tidal differences and I
constants has been very greatly mod- j
ified. A considerable part of the I
former table has been omitted, as no%
being of direct use to the mariner.
The time and height differences
have been reduced to single columns
for each, and the ratios of changes
are reduced to only one decimal place.
A new ana more convenient taoie
for obtaining the height of tide at
any time has been introduced.
A section of these tables referring
to tidal currents has been very mate
rially increased to furnish mariners
with available official data.
The prices for these different vol
umes of tide tables are as follows:
General tide tables, 50c.
Atlantic coast tide tables, 10c.
Pacific coast tide tables, 10c.

Are You Successful?
If you are not successful—who is to blame? You
notice all around you successful men—don’t
you ? Many of them have had no better oppor
tunities than you—some of them not as good.
The successful man avails himself of his oppor
tunities. The unsuccessful man does not. One
of the opportunities that make for success is a
Bank Account. Have you one at this Bank? Try
it for a year. The note the progress you have
