WHY NOT ORGANIZE MILITIA COMPANY.
WhatVthe matter with organizing a militia company or
two in Anchorage? There are lots of young men in this com
munity and there should be no trouble at all in forming a couple
of companies, of a hundred men each. If we understand it
light, the government will supply the equipment, such as guns,
uniforms, etc., and there will be little expense attached to the
matter. The wires inform ns that Nenana has already taken a
step in this direction, lead by Commissioner Riggs. There is
nothing in the local situation that requires the organization of
militia companies, but if hostilities break out with Germany, a
call may come to Alaska to send a given quota of men. In this
event, Anchorage must certainly be represented. Let some of
our SpanishAmerican war veterans take the initiative in this
matter.
THE RUSH WILL SOON BEGIN.
The Railway and Marine News of Seattle, a publication
that keeps well-informed on the matter, predicts a big: rush to
Anchorage this season, growing out of the railway activities in
the Cook inlet country. In a recent issue, for instance, the Se
attle publication says:
In another month the great rush to Anchorage will start
and it is predicted that it will be heavier than ever before.. IT.
S. transports and two operating steamship companies will han
dle what is expected to be a rush of prospectors, investors, bus
iness men, railroad builders and various other classes to the
Susitna region this summer. Some splendid temporary busi
ness openings are in sight at various points along the proposed
line above Matannska Junction, while every mile of constructed
railroad above the junction will help to open up the Broad Pass
mining district which is being regarded by many as one of the
coming mineral sections of the North.
While contracts are still being let in Alaska for thousands
of ties for the road all the bridge timbers and structural lumber
of all kinds will be shipped North and bids are now being pre
pared covering the purchase of severatl million feet.

COME ON, YOU FARMERS.
(Seward Post)
Farmers in the Matanuska are being- urged to put every
available acre under cultivation during- the coming season, that
Alaska may show to the outside world the value in its agricul
tural areas.
“Plant potatoes, timothy, hay or clover,” is the advice giv
en to those who have not time or inclination to go in for garden
truck.
Similar activity might be shown in the vicinity of Seward.
During past years only a few men have planted garden
track. There are cleared areas, including considerable acreage
ground, all of which should be under cultivation next year. Lo
cal merchants will buy all of the potatoes raised, while the hay
produced is in continuous demand, and it is probable that there
will be a market for all garden truck either in town or for use
at the railroad camps.
Investigate today, you who are agriculturally inclined.
Hunt up the owners of cleared ground and if they do not intend
to plant next season ask them to let you have the use of it.
And you owners of the ground, if you are not going to use it
ibis year, offer it to those who will at a nominal figure if you
must have your unearned increment, or for nothing if you are
willing that the worker shall have the fruit of his toil. You will
win in the long run for the very existence of the crop enhances
the value of your holdings.
Get busy and let’s see how many tons of potatoes, hay, beets,
carrots, turnips we can raise around Resurrection Bay next sum
mer.

Save your eyes on tin* trail by using the “Wilson Goggles”
and Zylbex Eye Protector. ..We have a complete assortment of
many styles in amber and smoked glasses.
Another very handy little outfit for the trail or camp is
Johnson & Johnson’s Red Cross Utility Kit at 50c, 11 articles
of everyday use.
If you lived as the cave man lived, your health would take
care of itself. The cave man ate coarse food and lived a strenu
ous life in the open. Ilis digestive apparatus was suited to that
kind of an existence. You inherit from the cave man the same
internal mechanism but you eat different food and lead a dif
ferent kind of life. Hence the almost universal prevalence of
constipation—and its constant menace to health. Your prob
lem is to adjust that “cave man” internal mechanism of yours
to the sedentary life and concentrated food of civilized life.
American Mineral Oil accomplishes the adjustment. It does
not upset the ordinary processes of digestion—and it does not
form a habit. We recommend San-Tox American Oil at $1.25
per full pint.
On Valentine day a customer of ours wanted a box of candy.
We sold him a box of Augustine & Kyer’s Chocolates. In speak
ing of different kinds of candy he asked me why we didn’t carry
cheaper box candy in stock. There is only one thing we can an
swer to that. We sell Augustine & Kyer’s chocolates for the
same reason that we sell Waterman’s Ideal Fountain pens, for
the same reason we sell Eastman Kodaks, for the same reason
we use Squibb’s, Mulford’s and Parke Davis’ chemicals in our
prescription department, for the same teason that we buy Stet
son’s Hats or Cheney’s neckwear, and Hart, Schaffner & Marx’
Clothes, for the same reason we handle all quality goods. We
want to be identified with the best only. And in that lies your
safety and advantage in dealing with us.
