Alaska presents u great square block, wedged cornerwlse between North America and Siberia, obstructing an open channel of the Pacific ocean to the North pole. On the southernmost corner of the square block Is a tall of land extending down the coust lu the direction of Seattle. It runs southward for 000 miles from the longitude boundary between Alaska proper and Canada. This section reaches back from the coast to the watershed of the Canadian Rockies, a distance vurying from 60 to 150 miles. It Is known as the First Judicial district, or the Juneau district. Of the four Judicial districts of Alaska the first has the largest population of white men and In most respects outranks the others, although the Third division, along the southern reaches of the peninsula, looms larger in many Important commercial factors. Of four Alaskan cities which hud n population of more than 1,000 In 1920, Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka, the former capital of Alaska, are located In the First division while Fairbanks, which has a population only one-llftus great es the combined populations of Juneau und Ketchikan, Is located on the Tanana river, In the Ja ;.ea rnqairc tkea, ThinKJn o them V'birt tka new.bara infant kiae aiav b. 1 i.k enid tod airrli and iaceoae meet.

Is the center of a great section which would surprise the Individual who expected only mountains In Alasku. Away from the south coast, the country back of the barrier of mountuln ranges stretches broadly us a great Inland plateau, rolling gently north to the reaches of the Bering sea. Tununu and Fairbanks are centers of a growing agricultural region which Is having considerable success In producing g crop. The big Inland plain Is Inhabited chiefly by huge herds of reindeer guarded by nutlve owners. Most of the minerals for which Alaska Is noted gold, silver und copper are found In both upper and lower Alaska. The Juneau district produces three times as much gold as the rest of Alnska and It has some of the great copper mines of the country. A further contrast between the two sections Is found In shipping statistics; while 1,518 ships cleared ut the fishing port of Ketchlkun, only 800 clearings were reported for ull other Alus-kaports In 1022. "Lower Alaska has been the objective of most of the tourists who visit v.ie American Switzerland. The magnificent scenery of the Inland passage focused much Interest, but with the completion of the great Tanana river s d bridge on the this pust year, many visitors are pushing on across the Gulf of Alaska to see the beuutles and wonders of the interior as did the late President Hurdiug and his party."

If we were a woman and we wanted to get right next to a mans heart, we would smuggle a good pipe and some good pipe tobacco to him around December 25th. Or, if he already has a pipe that he thinks was divinely intended for him, the tobacco alone makes a full-sigift. Other advantages of good pipe tobacco as a Christmas present include the following; You dont have to engage in any detective work to find out his size, favorite color, or other specifications. And it doesnt make any difference whether he already has plenty or not; nor need you be concerned lest your gift be duplicated. A man can smoke up a lot of tobacco between this Christmas and next; while the humidor jar, in which we put up a pound of Edgeworth, keeps the tobacco in prime condition indefinitely. Edgeworth is a tobacco that practilikes; its a cally every safe choice. The jar sells for $1.65 at any tobacco store. If your regular dealer hasnt enough glass jars to supply the Christmas trade, let us play Santa Claus for you. Send us $1.65 for a jar, his name and address, and yaur personal greeting card. Well do the rest. Well pack the glass jar in an appropriate Christmas box, enclose your card and send it in plenty of time to reach him before Christmas.
