PAPER FROM ALASKA.
Sent to Derby Man Gives Good Idea of
 Country and Conditions.

Charles Shaffer has received from his brother in Fairbanks, Alaska, a copy of the Alaska Citizen, weekly
 paper printed in that place, says the Ansonia Sentinel. It is an elght-page paper that has considerable news on
 it's front page which is fresh enough to be marked special" People who ! think prices are high in Derby ought to be thankful that they do not i've in Fairbanks, Alaska. The paper,Wh1ch is printed each Monday, is sold for twenty five cents a copy The sub- scrfption price is one dollar month and ten dollars year, delivered. Among the advertisements in the paper
 is one offering beer that is made ID Fairbanks at $4 a dozen bottles and $15 a barrel. Prices for other things seem to be about in the same propor- tion.
 People who may have the notion that Fairbanks is out of the world will be interested to know that there are five churches-EpiScopa Catholic, Pres byterian, Methodist and Christian Sci ence. There are nine secret societies. Saloons and hotels and lunch rooms flourish, for the greater part of the advertising is devoted to these busi- neSSeS. Several banks are advertised and there are two or three Turkish baths. Pianos, sewing machines. car pet SWeeperS new carpets, rugs and ' draperies are found among the things offered for sale by the merchants and show that the people are not living in snow houses or wearing for clothing skins with the woolly side in.
 The paper from a typographical point of view is well gotten up. It is appar- ently set on a linotype. for there is one of those crazy lines in the middle of story to show that the operator nodded for a moment The presswork is ex- cellent. being far superior to that found on a good many of the papers l printed right here in Connecticut. And 1 all this is in a place up in the dreary north country where it is either all day or all night all the time.
