 The people of the United States en- ter into politics more generally than the people of any other country on earth. with the possible exception a. one or two other commonwcalths that speak the same tongue. This is SO be- cause the franchise has been more freely extended, because the masses have more opportunities for studying political and economical conditions and because the man without property need not necessarily be a man without a vote In Alaska those circumstances are moro emphasized. perhaps. than in any other portion of the nation at large. therefore Alaskans are more generallv saturated by the political tide. Prob ably this fact will account ta some ex- lent for fine many bitter contests and controversies that have taken place up here. but bitterness is excuSablc when it arises from the interest taken in pub lie questions by the masses and classes But bitterness leads often 10 uneloan politics. and is therefore often regret able in its results.
 The people of Alaska. and particu- iarly of Nome. should remember that the manifestation of puerilo heat and tae use of bnlingsgate do not bespeak dignity, and thar dignity alone grlnds exceeding small even if it grinds slow lv like the mills of the Gods.

"The gross amount of revenue
provided the Territory from the
property tax at one per cent. is
81 ,275,000, and from income tax
1863, 900, a total of 81 $4,000. My
idea Is to eliminate the income tax

revenue of $l,9l2,00O, an increase
of S36S,00O. Half OF the revenue

Winery At
Kaupakalua
Expects to Turn Out $4,000
Gallons Next Season.

The Kaupakalua Wine and Ii.
quor Company, Limited, has pro-
duced about $4,000 gallons of first
class wine, and about 1000 gallons
of fruit brandy this season. The
brandy produced ranges from 100
to 100 per cent test, and in the
opinion Of experts is an excellent
article for the home trade.
The winery was started shortly
after the passage of the general Ii
quor law of 1905, in which liberal
provisions were made for the pro-
duction of wine from home re-
sources. In the opinion of Geo.
r. Carter, then Governor, there
was no reason why our own people
should not BE- given Il chance to
manufacture wine, when hundreds
of thousands of gallons of Califor-
MIA wine was being regularly inn
ported to supply a growing demand
for wines.
Through Governor Carter's in
fiuence the provision allowing the
manufacturing of wines in this
Territory was incorporated in the
liquor law of 1905, and to people
of small means are to be given the
credit of starting this new industry
an industry which promises in
time to, at least, supply the. home
demand for wines, giving both EN-.
ployment and encouragement to
the numerous small farmers of the
Kokomo and Kaupakalua portions
of the makawao district.
The winery gets it supply OF
grapes from sixty or more. smah
vineyards, the paintings rang
ing in area from half an acre tt
four acres, self evident proof o
the cooperative nature of the in.
dustry, and of the support it is re-
ceiving from small land holders
and people of small means.
Much of the success of the win
cry is due to the able management
of Mr.. w. F. Cole. who is an ex
pert in the making of differen
grades of wines and brandy, anC
the Winery Company is preparing
to enlarge its plant from the pre-
sent capacity of 10000 gallons /
season, and is putting in new i'm
provemgents at an expense of ~
500 90 to be in position to prof
tably handle the crop from the ma
ny new vineyards the next season
The grape growers are almos
wholly Portuguese who are evident
ly doing we'll, judging by the way
the older farmers are increasing
the area of their paintings, and o
new men coming to locate in tn,
grape growing district, improving
property and growing into the bu
siness with so much confidence a
to the successful outcome of thei
efforts.
In the 1907 season the winery
purchased thirty-eight tons o
grapes, and in the season jus
closed ninety-fve tons payini
therefor forty dollars a ton dellv
cred. The average production thi
year being a little over three ton
of grape an acre, which is consider
ed a very good showing for youn
vines, and experts say as the vine
yards become older the vines vii
produce larger and richer crops.
The crop of the year 1907 wa
taken from 25 acres of vines, a
average of a.little over one and
half tons of grapes an acre, pre-
! ducing about 10000 gallons Will
: that of this year, 1908, was fror
thirty-one acres of grapes, shown
but small increase in the crap
area, and over a hundred per cen
increase in the quantity of win
produced.
