Attorney Day has since been converted so the'views of Mir. Price. These two gentlemen will speak for it at the de- bate At the Mckinley Club co Saturday evening; and this debate will certainly attract considerable attention and a large number Of people.
 It Is today one Of the most important subjects for the consideration of the p ople of'Alaska. and this meeting will not only serve to inform those present upon every phase oi it, but will give an indication of the sentiment of Skagway eiiizens upon the question. It will act, ln short, as sort oi feCler.

THE FREE ZONE QUESTION.

The Letter of the Inv.

Among the many serious discussions
over the Interpretation Of certain rules
Of golf 1t Is refreshing to come across
something amusing. The rule to the
effect that before striking the ball
the player shall not move, bend or
break anything fixed or growing near
the BALI has many a time led to a
serious dispute, but the humorous in
depreciation Of the rule, according to
The Scotsman, was made In the course
Of a game ut Ranelagh.
One Of the players directed his cad
die to drive away some lambs which
were in the line Of fire, and when this
had been done he played his stroke In
comfort. His surprise was great when
his adversary promptly claimed the
hole on the ground that the lambs
were growing" and according to the
rule the penalty for removing anything
growing was the loss of the hole.
An old hand might easily smile at
this claim. but 1t might dlsconcert a
younger player and prove sufficient to
win more than one hole by putting him
"Off his game" Such an instance ac-
tually occurred once in the East Lo-
THAN Country cup competition, when
young north Berwick player, who had
innocently removed growing worm
from the line Of his put. was accused
by an elderly opponent Of breaking this
rule. The thing was done IN jest, but
the blush OF the youth aud the erratic
nature Of his play for some time after
showed that the joke had quite unln-
tenti0nally done mischief.

Those who are in position to Judge
do not anticipate large supplies and

the opening Of the winter packing sea-

the country indicate that numbers of

corn crop ahead it is very likely that
the winter season will open with hog
prices we'll above those Of last year,
and, moreover, that prices during the
coming winter will average well. A
bumper corn crop usually means very
cheap hogs, but this condition prom
lses to be modified next winter by an
excellent demand for provisions. Def

stnmn Your Honey Packages.

1t is a good plan for all apiarists to
put their name and address on all pack
ages of nice honey, either In combs or
extracted. 4 rubber stamp, with plain
letters three-eighths of an inch high,
is best to mark sections, but bottles or
cans of extracted honey must have a
printed label pasted on. The mark
ing Of first class honey or good goods
of any kind is a help TO everybody who
handles it. If the jobber has any fault
to find he can easily trace it to the
producer If the grocer likes it he will
be apt to remember the name and buy
some more Of it, while the consumer
will do the same.
If you are producing a superior ar
ticle In quantity, marking 1t and Sc
lecting a reliable jObber and sticking
by him, it will be a profitable under
taking, but 1t won't pay to change job
bers every year or to put your name on
anything but a good grade Of honey.
The ground is taken by jobbers that
they do not want the honey stamped,
because putting the producers name
on it leads the retailer to deal direct
with the producer to the demorallza-
ton Of the market They should more
truthfully say. to the loss Of their profit.
Manufacturers Of clothing, Of wagons,
fancy butter and many other lines of
goods put their name on the goods, and
the jobber is helped thereby. Darling
ton butter brings 10 cents per pound
because It is Darlington butter, If
Tom Jones takes extra pains In
handling the carload Of fine honey
which he produces every year there Is
no harm In letting the people know
that It is Tom Jones honey and that
1t Is worth l cent per pound more be-
