The Empire again urges the people of this City| to do their Christmas Shopping at home and to do it now. The merchants of Juneau have laid in splendid lines of goods for Christmas gifts. There is not a reason in the world why one should send to a mail order house for a single thing. Buy from the local stocks and give the gift the touch of personal selection. That will encourage the mer- | chants to keep large stocks, and it will boost the | town. | By buying gearly one may get the first selections | from these large stocks and have time to make a thorough examination before purchasing. BIG RAILROAD MAN IS DEAD. | Benjamin Franklin Yoakum, giving Day, was one of the greatest railroad men | ever developed in the Southwest. He left a farm when a boy to begin railroading, and his path was| constantly upward. In his time he had been ut‘ the head of several of the leading railways of the; Southwest and Rocky Mountain region. While the dead capitalist had livgd in New York during later years he always classed himself as a Texan. He was born at San Antonio in that State| seventy years ago. He is one of the great railroaders of the Nation who always held the confidence of the masses his lines served as well as that of his stockholders. He was an authority on the problems of the farmers, industries and other material affairs of the Bouthwest. BYRD HAS MADE IT. T | Commander Byrd has seen the South Pole. He is now in the class with the late Capt. Amundsen.| He has been at both poles, though he was not the first one at either of them. The intriped airplane explorer has accomplished the large task that he set for himself when he began organizing his ex- pedition. In both preparation and execu_uon he has performed splendidly. He is a splendid man and splendidly equipped for the work he has done. It is quite another thing as to whether or not the accomplishments of Commander Byrd have been worth all the ability and time and pains and money they have cost. Probably not. However, the work has been done and with it goes the great praise it merits as a personal achievement. Now let us hope that the daring explorer may return to the United States and devote the remainder of a life that ought to be long and useful to more practical things. Her personal achievements have been wonderful and no doubt will be valuable assets throughout his life. BOB LOWE DIES. The death of Robert Lowe of Whitehorse re- moves one of the most colorful, interesting and con- structive characters in all the North Country. For thirty years he had been a resident of Whitehorse and one of the leaders in the business, industry and politics of Yukon Territory. He was a man of strong and genial personality, independent, vigor- ous and enterprising. He was a born leader of men, and nothing ever arose for the good of his |and won it. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, DEC. 3, 1929. ‘mlupxml region that he was not among the first |and most generous to come to the front. | Bob Lowe was a trader and money-maker, but ever came north who was more generous with his profits. No worthy man was broke if he jnumbered Bob among his friends—and Bob was a ‘rrmnri if they were acquainted. He gave a more money than most people made. Yy ! No man in Yukon Territory had more friends and none was ever mourned with deeper grief than his friends are experiencing. Stabilizing the stock market (to those who were closed out in the recent debacle is like locking the stable door after the horse had been stolen The next big event will be Christmas and the annual visit of Santa Claus. And that is a reminder that it is high time that the Christmas shopping was begun in earnest Hudson Bay Navigation. (New York Times.) In spite of the completion of the Hudson Bay Railroad by the Canadian Government, the criti- cism that ice in the great sheet of water would prevent commercial use of it is still heard. A wit- ness to the contrary is Captain J. U. Beauchemin of the Dominion Geodetic Expedition's steamer Acadia, who has just returned to Halifax. Leaving North Sydney on July 20, the Acadia sailed 6,000 miles of ocean and inland waters. For most of the time she was in and about Hudson Bay, engaged in hydrographic surveying. A ten- fathom contour in Port Churchill Harbor was plot- ted, soundings were made in many parts of Hud- son Bay, temperatures at all depths were taken, and a new harbor, nyned White Haven, was discovered. The crew of the airplane 'Untin’ Bowler, that was |to have been flown from Chicago by way of Eabra- | |dor and Greenland to Europe, was picked up at| Port Burwell. Captain Beachemin declares that the country on the shores of Hudson Bay is not the dreary, forbidding land it is supposed to be. As to Port Churchill, he maintains that it is open to naviga- tion well into November. A report that the Acadia was stuck in the ice for seven days was without foundation. The Iron Man. (New York World.) It is startling to realize, with regard to this Joe {McGinnity who has just died, that it has been | years since he commanded public attention, and that in those years many of us have all but for- gotten him. Does the name mean anything to you? At one time he was more celebrated than who died Thanks- Foxx, Simmons, Hornsby, or any of the participants | in the recent World Series; he was, indeed, almost |as celebrated as Babe Ruth, being known far and wide as the “Iron Man of Baseball.” In one of his ealy seasons, when he pitched for Brooklyn, Wil- lie Keeler was his teammate; later on, when he pitched for New York, he divided honors with |Mathewson, and took part in that celebrated game | |in which Merkle failed to touch second. The coun- |Hansen, Administrator of the Es-| try at large, of course, heaped most of its adulta- tion on Mathewson, for Mathewson had a lyric appeal about him; in his clean-cut way he typi- |fied an era, an era that read Richard Harding :Da\ns. attended the “Merry Widow,” and wore its shoulders wide, and the era took him to its bosom {But it had plenty of cheers for McGinnity too, It listened grapingly to tales of this tireless arm, of Elhc countless shut-outs that he had to his credit, |of the time he pitched a twenty-one-inning gamé It made him a celebrity. Now, at the age of fifty-six, he died, and his face on the front page is almost the face of a stranger. It is”a disturbing commentary on the ephermeral nature of fame. _— The amusing feature of the Wall Street debacle |is the sad-eyed individual who dropped $2.80 and goes around confiding lugubriously that he's been~ “rooned.”—(Philadelphia Inquirer.)

You know how the really cold weather settles down in earnest for the winter? Well, it never does that until I have been round first. “I go about carrying with me dampness and chilliness and cold air and sharp wind. | “I have lots of all of them in my two suitcases and I scatter them about as I make my journey. “Often I receive splendid compli- ments! Many people say that they feel the cold more when I am around than they do when the real- ly colder members of my family ar- rive.” “Isn’t that a fine compliment?” John and Peggy nodded, though they were not quite certain that they would consider it a compli- ment. “I get everything in readiness for my family. I see that everything is cold enough. To be sure there lare some parts of the country where I do not travel—where they do not |have cold weather and where my cold-weather family would not go. “But I have plenty of land to cover—plenty of country to pre- {pare for my dear winter family. “I must be on my way now. I !mustn’t waste—pardon me—spare |another moment for chatter.” ‘The chilly visitor was on his way ldid seem.
