ICE BLOCKS SCHOONER’S
PASSAGE TO TELLER
After encountering :i vast area of
ice along the coast about forty miles
to the Westward of Nome, t'e schoo
ner Jewel Guard. which sailed late
lest week for Teller and Lost River,
was compelled to fo:go the effort to
reach Port Clarence and returned to
this port Sunday.
According to those on board (lie
schooner, the ice was apparently new
and boro little resemblance to the
heavy Arctic variety appearing an
nually along the upper Bering coast
In connection with,the southward mi
gration of the Arctic ice pack. The
floe was encountered in the vicinity of
Capo Wooley and. as far c.,v could he
seen from the schooner, extended in
a practically unbroken mass for
n:ilos to the west and south. The
greater part of the mass was composed
of small fragments, most of which
was apparently of very recent forma
tion. Many cakes of considerable ex
tent were sighted, however, as the
vessel skilled along its borders in
search of an opening. The ice pre
sented no great obstacle to passage
hut, owing to the extreme lateness of
the season and the risk of being
cauught in the rapidly congealing
mass it was deemed inadvisable to
continue. The schooner proceeded
along the edge of the floe for a con
siderable distance and found that it
extended ten or fifteen miles from
shore. Open water lay beyond and
nothing was seen of the Arctic pack.
The schooner attempted the trip
under charter to Messrs. J. F. Halpin.
operator of the Ixist I liver tin mine,
and J. J. O'Leary, head of the Great
Northwestern Mining and Develop
ment ('n.. of Teller. As a result of
(he wrecking of the Mettle It and
Arctic, combined with a dearth of
other carriers, both concerns found it
impossible to secure transportation
for a large part of their winter sup
plies during the .into fall. The Jewel
Guard was chartered shortly * before
the departure of the Victoria but suc
ceeded in landing only one cargo. The
long continued storm arising soon
after the Victoria left prevented fur
ther efforts to got the much needed
supplies to Port Clarence until the
unusual weather conditions prevailing
during the second week of the present
month induced the owners to make
one more effort. Charters were se
cured on the Jewel Guard and Rupert,
both of which were then in winter
quarters. The latter vessel develop
ed engine trouble and was again
Iteached. The Jewel Guard departed
last Saturday with a full cargo and
would probably have reached iter
destination without difficulty but for
tlie unusual ice conditions.
As there is no further prospect that
the supplies can lie transported bv
water, MV. O'Leary, who is looking
after the transportation affairs of tli ■
Halpin Company as well as those of
his own concern, is making arrange
ments to have the goods hauled over
the ice during the early spring.
JAP PURCHASE OF
PHILIPPINES ADVOCATED
TUKIU—The suggestion tnnt .Japan
purchase the Philippine islands from
the United States and the Dutch East
Indies from Holland as a means of
solving the problem of Japan’s ever
growing population is made by a
writer in the Herqjd .of Asia, u con
servative Japanese weekly journal. The
writer contends Japan Is bound to ex
pand territorially as she is expanding
in population,. Pointing out that the
population has more than doubled in
the Inst fifty years, being now over
57,000,000, he estimates that at the rate
of Increase the population will in an
other fifty years have reached 114,000,
It is not too much to hope, he
argues.that "someday Justice and des
tiny will decide that all of the islands
on this side of the Pacific, north of
the equator will come under the juris
diction of Japan." He asks the ques
tion whether America intends t(* Keep
out Japanese emigrants and still hold
the Philippines permanently. If not,
Why should she not some day sell them
lto Japan? He adds "Having closed her
own doors to the Japanese, this would
I be a R-racious act on her part and one
that would be but naturally expected
from a country boasting of so much
philanthropy and Christian altruism."
As for the Dutch Bast Indies the
article contends the inhabitants are
more akin to the Japanese than t<> Hol
land and that Japan could administer
the islands with greater benefit on the
whole to the people and to herself
than could Holland which, moreover,
is a small country untroubled with sur
plus population.

MERCHANTS!
The merchant who spends—wisely—2 percent of his gross revenues
for advertising is able to sell his goods more cheaply than is the
merchant who spends—equally wisely—but 1 percent of his gross
revenue for advertising.
The percent of gross revenues spent by successful merchants for
advertising varies from one percent to six percent. For limited
periods, while getting established in a. new location, adding new lines of
goods, etc., merchants find it profitable—in fact NECESSARY—
to spend as much as ten anil fifteen percent for advertising.
Under normal conditions the average, ho far as any facts have been
disclosed, would seem to be a little less Ilian three percent. Some
investigators say two percent.
In cities where the expenditure for stere advertising is as low, on
an average, as one and a half percent, the door is left wide open for
successful competition. The merchant who invades such a field
and spends twice or three times that margin for advertising can
always win.
The merchant who argues that it would be necessary for biin,
in Increasing his advertising appropriation, to add to the prices of
Ills goods is not in step with the spirit of these times. He does
not understand the economic value of advertising—which, by speed
ing up turnover, makes lower selling prices possible.
Adequate advertising, carrying real information about goods, is
the guarantee to the customer of protection from high prices and from
undependable merchandise.
