LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS. has taken on a decidedly Christmas atmosphere. Decorated stores filled with beautiful Christmas shoppers are always inspiring. And that is what we have in Juneau these days. The outlook is for a very merry Christmas. Merchants are pleased with their Christmas sales. The general report is that they are better than they were last year. That is very satisfying to the people. It encourages the belief that we shall have a prosperous winter and that we might look with confidence toward the future. This is one of the few towns in the country that has been scarcely touched by depression. We have more people on payrolls than usual and a glorious prospect for improvement in that respect. So let's have a good Christmas. Do not be afraid to buy Christmas gifts and add to the happiness of all in the community. Juneau ANCHORAGE’S SPECIAL REPRESENTA- TIVE AT WASHINGTON. The copy of a letter sent by Delegate James Wickersham to Winfield Ervin of Anchorage, in which he chided the business men of Anchorage for sending a represen- tative to Washington to “muss things up” was read at the regular meeting of the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce in the Blue Fox today. Anchorage had advised the Delegate that Harry F. Morton was being sent to Wash- ington to work for the Federal building for & Anchorage and to get freight and passenger rates on the Alaska Railroad reduced. “I have been giving my active and most earnest attention to both these matters, under the impression that I represented the interests of Anchorage and its sec- tion, as well as the whole Territory of Alaska, and I cannot understand why you find it necessary to send Mr. Morton here to oversee my work."—(Ketchikan Chronicle.) One would think that Delegate Wickersham would welcome the special representative of An- chorage business men as an aide in his work at the National capital. One would think he would rejoice if every Chamber of Commerce and munici- pality in the Territory would send someone to help him in the good work of contributing to Alaska development. It is no new thing that the business men of Anchorage have done. Many cities in the United States keep agents at the National Capital con- tinuously to work for their localities in conjunc- tion with their regular representatives in the Senate and House of Representatives.

[Young ‘Girl Gains Skill ; in Feathering Arrows LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.—Again a woman challenges the skill of (men in a field which was wholly theirs in the days of Robin Hood. Fern Martin, still in her teens, has become an expert fletcher—one {who feathers arrows, “Fletchers in Robin Hood's day | generally were stalwart, straight | shooting bowmen,” said Chester A. ‘,s‘ v, her employer. ; “With competition in archery as keen as it is, the arrow must fly true A straight, well-fashioned shaft is essential, as is a balanced tip, but if the feathering is faulty the arrow will miss its mark. So much depends upon Miss Martin's skill.” How Moden; Women Lose Pounds of Fat Swiftly—Safely Gain Physical Vigor—Youthfulness With Clear Skin and Vivacious Eyes That Sparkle With Glorious Health Here’s the recipe that banishes fat and brings into blossom all the natural attractiveness that every woman possesses.
