FROM THE LAND
OP THE MIDNIGHT SUN,
The News is indebted to Mr. 14. T.
Pinkertou, Faiebanks, Alaska, for a
bundle of the "Fairbanks Daily
News -Miner," which, According to
he, card is "the oldest paper itt In-
terior Alaska, Established 1902, of-
fices 'Cor. Third and Cushman, the
only business corner in Fairbanks
' marked with the name of the
• streets" It is a 7 -column, foto. page•
palier atid, is up-todate in every re-'
spect, The subscription price is
.$2.00 per month. - •
A .perusill ef these papers leads one
to believe that the Alaskans go
about their daily life much as we do
here; the Fairbanks council at its
routine meeting discusses •repairto
the public school, cleaning out sew-
ers, „orders (mounts paid, etc.; the
• Royal Arch Masons held their an
nual meeting as did also the Mid-
• night Sun Order of the Eastern Star,
in both of which appears the name of
Mr. Pinkerton es an official and
Minnie Pinkerton in the later
Church news and police court news
both have a place.
The Tanana Valley Agricultural
Society advertises the date of its an-
nual meeting and a short course in
Agriculture is also announced, to be
conducted by a ,Government repre-
sentative front an Experimental Sta-
tion, but what the extent of the farm-
ing community ist is not indicated.
The one great interest of the dis-
trict is mining. Nearly a page of
the paper is devoted to land office
• notices of mining claims but strange
to say, the advertisements ia the
paper are for electric washers, auto-
mobile insurance, steam laundry,
January ,sales, etc. •
Apparently the Alaskan railway
• goes not pay, but will be kept in
operation by the United States
government. There is mention of a
proposed pulp and paper industry
for Alaska.
Automobilists have been using the
beach along Bering Sea as a boule-
vard and have no difficulty in travel-
ling for miles. This reminds one of
our own Kettle Point on Lake Huron.
The tnovies are invading Alaska
for its wonderful scenery and
several pictures have been located
there. The Fairbanks Airplane Co.
is doing business and expects to ex-
tend its usefulness in the near fu-
ture.
To the average person the very
mention of Alaska brings shivers
and visions of dndless snow and ice,
and references to thirty, forty and
fifty degrees below zero do uot alter
these opinions. Nevertheless, the
paper asserts the first snow did not
come this year until November 16th,
Seaforth had snow a month earlier
than that.
In •an issue just before Christmas
there is an editorial urging the mer-
chants to be more generous with
light in the stores. If a lady goes
shopping she is almost afraid to
enter the stores which are all dark
except for a light in the rear. When
she goes in, a clerk comes and
switches on a light at the front of
the store and turns off the other otie.
If the .purchaser wants to look at
goods in another part of the store,
the clerk turns off the light where he
is and witches on anotiter one where
the desired goods are. This perform-
amce es, of course, to save light. The
cla'Ys are very short and no doubt
the cost of electricity is high as it
says a •merchant could burn all hist
lights ehe week before Christmas and
the extra cost would be "only about
$10,"

Asthma Cannot Last when the'
greatest of all a 'thine speifics, is
used: Dr. J. D, Kellogg's Asthma
Remedy assuredly deserves this ex-
alted -title, It has to its credit tholes -
ands of cases which other prepara-
tions had failed to .benefit, It brings
hep to even the most severe cases and
