The Juneau Record-Miuer asks why the advocates of territorial government seek to drive capital out of the district. That is easy. They do not try to drive 1t out. They seek to secure competent government for the district and thus to encourage the coming of capital.

be impossible for him to raise the
money before that time.
The judges decision, however,
seemed to change the situation. and

FISHING WILL BE BETTER
DCRING THE NEXT MONTH

A. E. Wilson, who returned a few
days ago from a fishing trip along the
Gunnison river says the anglers path
was not exactly strewn with the elu-
siye trout while his party was in
camp In spite OF bad weather condi-
tons. however. they landed a large
number OF fish and made several ship
ments home.
Mr.. Wilson thinks that the next
month will be good for fishing. The
mosquitoes are not SO numerous and
all conditions will be about right for
successful angling.

How to Test Melons,

In selecting a watermelon the first
test Is weight. A ripe watermelon Is
heavy. Another test is to lay the
melon on its back, with the white side
up, and scratch the skin of the light
est part with the finger nail. If it
seems tender while the melon remains
firm. hardly yielding to the pressure
Of the finger or indenture by the nail,
it is probably good. Still another test
Is to drive nail in the side of the
melon that has lain on the ground. If
1t goes in easily the melon Is ripe.
The test of cantaloupe is said to
be in breaking a little piece from the
stem end with the thumb nail. II 1t
smells spicy when broken it is prob
ably good.
