view Of what has been done, and what
should be done.
The congress is a bureau of informa-
ton, and a directory for those who de-
sire to come in touch with the best
thought Of the times on child-care and
training. 1t is stimulating organizations
and individuals to secure wiser, more ef-
fective methods of dealing with the help

found in every community, and for years
it has indorsed and advocated the estab-
lishment of juvenile courts and the pro-
baton system in all states Of the union.
Widespread interest in this subject has
been aroused with practical results.
The best interests of the child who
works are also under consideration, and
the congress is cooperating with other
national organizations in securing suitable
legislation for the protection of children
from illteracy and moral and physical
degeneration.

 This is fair illustration of how this question is divided-a few politicians and newspapers on the one side. and the business interests on the other. Take your choice.- Skagway Guide.
 Notwithstanding the experience of former years, it is strange fact that the stores of Valdez cannot at the present time fully outfit man for the interior. There is q lack of such staple articles as bacon, flour, rice and butter, all of which are absolutely necessary. As cense- quence quite number of men who should at the present time be busily engaged forwarding their goods are forced to sit here idly awaiting the arrival of the next steamer with supplies. We have always urged the "mushers" te purchase their outfits here, which they should do, but the merchants should be able to meet their demands. A number of the disappointed men have met Us on the street or in our office and lodged their complaints. It is a wrong state of affairs and should not occur again. We have as good and as large Outfitting stores as can be found in any town of similar size, but the owners seem to be in d constant dread of fire, as they carry little or no insurance, owing to the high rates; but for such ar ticles as are needed for trail use, store house separate from the the main building, with no fire or lights, is perfectly safe and should be well stocked up for the spring trade as each individual going on the trail requires from 500 to 1900 pounds for the season and he should have every inducement to make his purchases in Valdez.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

The land bill now before Congress allows the entry of coal land under practically the same terms as lands containing gold deposits are now entered. If this bill passes it will allow many poor man to take up coal lands, who could not do so ROW owing to the large cost of talk ing up such land.
 We have in Valdez at the present time the two men who did more the past summer to influence favor able legislation in Washington for Alaska, than all the rest of the Alaska contingent together. We refer to Geo. NJ. Esterly, of this place, and Volney T. Hoggatt, of Nome, who is now residing here for a time. These gentlemen did good and efficient work for this whole district, and it is certainly satis- faction that their efforts in great measure were successful, and a qualification to the people of Alaska that they accomplished so much needed legislation for the district.
 An effort is being made in Wash ington to again enact prohibition laws for Alaska. The temperance people are well meaning in this mat ter no doubt, but it would be impos- sible to enforce such a law in Alaska 1t was tried here for many years and was an utter failure. There would be no more difficult field in the world to establish and enforce such law than in a cold, frontier mining country such as Alaska is. Numerous missionaries are complaining, and justly so too, that liquor is continually being sold to the natives and they are being debauched, and that instead of spending the little money that they do have for food and clothing the spend it for intoxicating liquor. This is fact and is deplorable, but what is necessary is more string ent laws against selling or giving them intoxicating liquors, and men to enforce the laws. Many of our commissioners and deputy mar shals are altogether too slack in these matters.
 When you find an exponent of territorial form of government at the present time just size him up and ask yourself "how much taxable property does he own, and how much of this extra burden would he carry" If lacking in this respect, consider just what his motives are in advocating the meas Hae- By following this rule, you will soon discover "there is a nig- ger in the wOodpile," and if you are taxpayer yourself you will soon see the "wooly head" sticking out somewhere.
 Do not be deceived by the cry that "the corporations" are alone fighting this measure, or that they are fighting it at all. But, for the sake of argument, where would Alaska be today without her cor porations? What taxable property is there in Alaska outside of the corporations?
 Without the corporations where would your revenue come from. They would be perfectly justified in fighting this measure, and would 1t not be fight that the ones who would have to foot the bills should have voice in the matter, until sueh time, at least, when a major ty s6 inteSssts think otherwise.
