The Ketckikan Journal has been sold by Swineford & Rice to Cou- tant and Wyatt. Under the old management the Journal has been one of the sprightliest, wide awake papers on the coast and has un doubtedly been a money maker.

Promoting Salmon Con.
 sumption.

The eultOr or the oan rIanCleCo Trade Journal is in receipt of let ter from a leading salmon canner of the north, who says: Will you do me the favor to state through the columns of your paper the best way to promote the consumption of salmon? This I ask knowing that your thirty cd years' experi- ence in this industry will qualify you to form a correct idea on this subject" to which the editor re- plies: The consumptive demand of all articles of commerce is regu- lated largely by the price, and also by the industrial position of the masses. When the masses are em- ployed as wage earners and their earning capacity increased, they live better and do not scan prices so much as when a large part of them are out of employment with wages easing off and a feeling of uncertainty exists with those who are at work, This condition in variahly brings out cheapening in living expenses and actual neces- sities bought and then in smaller quantities and at as low figures as possible With a curtailing in liv- ing expenses comes a lessened demand for articles commanding prices above what the masses can afford to buy, but with prices with in their reach then the consump- tion only falls away in g small pro- portion. This is the natural law of trade and commerce and one that cannot be ignored by those in interest, Regarding salmon it can be affirmed without the fear of con
 tradiction that the price largely regulates the consumption. When that is not within the reach of the of the masses then only the better financial fixed can buy to any large extent, and these we dare say do not number 25 per cent of consum- CTS. The history of the salmon in- dustry discloses the fact that when prices receded in 90 and 95 cents, according to brand for Alaska red and other kind sold proportional low, the demand grew and new dis tributive points were brought in, so that higher range of values was made without curtailing to any extent the consumption demand, but when a value of from $1.20 to $1.30 f o. b. Pacific coast was so't to be established, the masses were forced to take less or do without it entirely, So marked was this that it was readily recognized and a lower range of prices was establish ed for Alaska salmon with $1.OO to $1.10 according to brand f. o. b. coast the basis for reds. These req sonable prices have reduced the heavy carry overs at home and abroad to such an extent that the new season deliveries of Alaska salmon will come in on practical ly bare market at home, and sup plies abroad, not more than enough to carry them mnch longer than the middle of 1906.

There is no good reason why Alaskans should not have been eat ing venison and ducks and geese up to this time. Bucks have been rolling in fat, and fowls have nev- CT been in as prime condition as right now. While it is right to protect doe, there are enough bucks to supply Alaskans with meat for the next ten years; and so far as geese are concerned, enough hunt CTS couldn't be shipped into Alaska to cause any perceptible difference in their numbers. AS geese do not nest here, why this restriction? It is all wrong. The prohibition of of killing deer for their pelts is a just and righteous law; further than that the law is an injustice to all Alaskans and should be modi- fed

In speaking of the parcel-post mail delivery, leading wholesale house in New York says: Among other reasons why farmers and others should patronize their home merchants are these, briefly stated: By giving them your trade you help worthy men who have given the best part of their lives to help build up the social and business interests of the community in which you live. If they, by good business judgment and economy, have been able to amass enough of this worlds good to provide for the proverbial rainy day and invest this surplus in real estate or personal property, as they usually do, who is benefit ted? Surely the taxpayers of the county in which they do business and not the municipalities of Chi cago or New York. The mail-order houses are not in it for their health One firm in Chicago is preparing to erect buildings, the cost of which will be $3,000,000, which is but drop in the bucket of that firms profits in the past few years"

The Cablegram is imploring Sit ka to incorporate. If she would be counted in Alaska's live towns, and pose as the capital of the com monwealth, she could not make a better move than adopt local self government, if the father of the town is opposed to territorial form of government for Alaska.

From what we hear we should judge that they had "a hot time in the old town" of Juneau at the election on the 4th. The question hinged on the question of whether the should have an "open town" or "bottle it up." The opens" won and the following progressive gen. tlemen were elected as councilmen: F " Young, James McClosky, J F Maloney, Henry States, Dave Fales Louis Lund, Ernest Jaeger.

Bro. Frame of the Juneau Tran script accuses SENTINEL of scoring Gov, Brady for talking "Agricul- ture." Right he is on that propo- sition,-s far as Southeastern Alas ka is concerned. It is not because it is John G. Brady that makes the statement, but it is because it is so erroneous that 1t should call forth the condemnation of even as hard ened a sinner as Frame. If the Gov. finds good farming country thousand miles west of us, let him say so. It may be there the same as it is down in the state of Washington, less distance from us. But he don't do it. He says fright here at Sitka," where he has a 4x9 patch cleared, stables a COW on it for time, throws on dozen sacks of guano, sows a few grains of wheat, oats and barley in a row, watches it, nurses it, stakes it, ma
 lures it by artificial heat, and after smelling it out computes that it would go so much per acre. That is delusion and a snare, and should be condemned by cloven- footed sour-doughs as we'll as by "get-rich-quick artists" Again we say the "grand old man" is talk ing through his hat" when he talks agriculture for this part of Alaska. If you don't believe it, Frame, come down here and take up a quarter section of fine farming" land just outside of town and dem- onstrate to the people that this is a great agriculture" country.

team to Lebanon. where they met de
feat to the tune of 6 to 3, largely owing
to the fact that it a their first game
and that they lacked team work Bert

his support was weak. the Lebanon
boys making but three safe hits, scat
tered in three innings, scoring their
runs on errors The boys were treated
very nicely while in Lebanon, and the
was entirely devoid of the
wrangling so common to base ball
games.
Lebanon is one of the incest little
towns it has ever been our pleasure to
visit. The residence portion of the
town looks particularly neat, with
handsome new cottages and we'll kept

Broke Ms Nose.

Orrin Sutton, who is farming over
on Buffalo creek, has had more than
his share of hard luck the past few
months While working in Al Slaby's
barn last winter he cut his hand on a
broken bottle, and the wound had
hardly healed when a horse stepped
on his foot and he was compelled to
hobble around on crutches for a
couple of months. This spring he
took up farming and a few days ago,
while watering a mare, the animal
kicked him in the face, breaking his
nose and knocking out a few of bis
front teeth.

have already been built there this
spring, and many more are building.
There Is but one brick business block
In the town, but when they ono get
started to building there is no doubt
that the business men of Lebanon will
do the right thing. While Lebanon
has but about half the population of
Red Cloud, it does almost as large a
business as this city, drawing trade
that should come to Red Cloud. The
reason is obvious. 1t will be remem
bered that last Thursday there was a
big rain storm. For the first five or
six miles south of Red Cloud the roads
we're in very bad shape, but, once
upon the hills, the roads began to
grow better and the nearer approach
to Lebanon the better the roads. It is
no wonder that farmers prefer to go to
Lebanon, when they can haul twice
the loads they can to Red Cloud, ven
if they do have to pay a little higher
price for merchandise. IL is time the
people of Red Cloud made an or
ganized effort to improve the roads
running south from here, not waiting
FOR the farmers along the route to at
tend to it.

We Are Learning History.

A Chicago man recently wrote to an
Oregon paper that many C%hicagoans
have conceived the idea that the LOWS
n Clark Exposition, which is TO open
June | at Portland, Oregon, is a sort
of Coney Island show managed by the
firm of Lewis a. Clark" of which
Senator Clark of Montana is the
junior member. Though it was not so
stated by the writer mentioned, it is
possible that these Chicagoans mag
inc the renowned j. Hamilton Lewis,
formerly congressman from the state
of Washington, to be the senior mem
Der OF the firm.
This truly is rich. Chicago ought to
know better than that. Even the
schoolboys in this town are a that
Lewis and Clark were two great Amer
icrn historical characters, dead and
gone these many years, who n hun
dred years ago explored the great
country lying west of the Mississippi,
going up the Missouri river from st.
Louis to a point lear its headwaters,
crossing the Rocky mountains over
land and ~voyaging down the Columbia
river to its mouth at.the Pacific ocean
Our schoolboys know that the success
of this expedition, which was sent out
by President Thomas jefferson, result
ed in the acquisition of 10000 square
miles of territory by the United States
out of which three great states have
been carved, Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, not to mention considerable
slices along the western parts of Wy.
oming and Montana.
1t is not believed that ignorance as
to the meaning and Importance of the
Lewis 4 Clark Centennial exposition
is very widespread, even in the east
where as a rule matters of western
history are not considered of intimate
interest to the average citizen. But
the Lewis and Clark expedition which
is to be commemorated at Portland this
year by a great international exposi
tion wa of such Importance in thu
growth of III great nation that Il
would seem that no n should ne
glect to study it.. Capt. Meriwethel
Lewis and his associate, Capt. Viii
liam Clark, we're the first Americana
to make the journey across the CONT
nent. The country which, largely b!
reason of their prior exploration, wa
added to our domain, gave the Unite'
States its first coast line on the Pa
cific; and this acquisition led, more o
less directly, to the subsequent al
nexation of California, Alaska, Guam
Hawaii and the Philippines.
But il the acquisition of the OregoI
country alone had been the ultimat
result of this expedition, that fac
furnishes the people of the Pacifi
Northwest with a sufficient reason 70
celebrating the anniversary of tn
event, and it gives the people of tn
rest of the United States ample reaso
to regard the coming exposition as
matter of national interest. Shoul
any further enlightenment as to tn
purpose of the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition be desired, the reader is referre

Hogs Have Finer Sense of Hearing
Than You Imagine.
"Hogs have a much keener sense OF
hearing than most people seem to
think" said man from the country.
"They can see we'll and at a considera
BILE distance, but the nose and eyes OF
the hog must give first place to the
ears.
This is so, no doubt, because hear
ing Is probably the most useful of the
senses In the hog life, particularly at
that season Of the year when the hog IN
the wild state must rely upon the fruit
age of trees In the main for food. Even
with this advantage 1t is frequently a
fierce race to see which hog can get
there first 1t would be interesting to
know just how far hog can hear an
acorn fall 1t is remarkable how quick
lv they become cOgniZant of the fact
that an acorn has been blown from It's
outer shell and tumbled toward the
ground, and he seems to catch the
sound quicker when he knows a COM

race for the nut. | have witnessed some
fierce and interesting races between
hogs with an acorn as the stake.
Put a hog within twenty yards of an
oak and in nine cases out of ten he will
beat the acorn to the place. In nine
cases out of ten the hog will be within
a few feet Of where the acorn strikes
the ground. another fact which argues
the superiority pf the hogs hearing.
He can apparently tell pretty well by
the sound where the acorn will fall,
and he will rarely miss it more than
few feet."-New Orleans Times Demo
