 The weather of the past month has been rather severe on several of the High school students by leaving them with severe colds and Liberated teeth.
 On last Wednesday the. pupils of the High school decided to meet Mir. Lati- mer's students in debate on the 10th. But they notified them that they would. not meet as the Juneau High school and would not count it the regular an. nual debate.

WEDNESDAY, ARRIB 19, 1911.

The mem bers of the city council feel encouraged, not only by the showing of Che reports made of the financial con- dition of the oity, but by the hopeful outlook of the coming year. Pne city is growing. The calamities of the year past have not affected the enthusiasm. of the people. The burned section of the town will be rebuilt and it will be better than before. The, repairs and improvements to be made to the city dock are under way, and the experience of the past year shows that that insti- tuition will soon become a revenue pro- ducer. Of course, with tbe city stretch ing out in every direction naturally come increased, demands, upon. the pub lie purse, and the necessary expendi- lures for l9l1 will again prove severe strain upon the resources. However, it is hoped that with economy andcare- tul planning all of the things necessary may be accomplished and the end of the year will find much better condi- tions than have heretofore existed.
 The people o5 Douglas have many reasons to rejoice and be giaa5, es- pecially when they compare business conditions here with thosa. existing in many Alaskan towns. Douglas offers more aud better opportunities for pro- ftable investment than any town in the North We have no idle houses nor store buildings, and every day people are tramping the streets looking for rooms. We need some more. good houses, a hotel ans all kinds of build inGS for stores, shops and lodge halls, There is room in Douglas for every body and all kinds of business. the difficulties of the past will soon be for- got. Let us all be happy.

POPULARITY OF "OLD
DOC WILEY HARD
FOR TAFT BOOMERS
Favor Of Chemist In Indi-
ana, Doubtful State, a
Political Quandary.
BY JUDSoN c. wELLIvER.

For Vice President, "OId Doc Wiley"
Who'd carry Indiana in that case?
DOC" was born out there. He looks
bigger and more important to the home
folks right this minute than If he had
written the ten best sellers for four
years in succession. In fact, Indiana
Is absolutely '.nutty' about "Doc," If
stories coming from the State are to be
regarded as fit to have a hearing.
It's mighty mean thing to put a
man into the Vice Presidential class
just as soon as he does something in
dlcating that he could pull in some
votes. But they're doing il. Dr. Wiley
comes from Indiana, and the Taft Ad-
ministrauon is reported much worried
about the influence in that State o.
handing the doctor the hook"
Everybody was for the doctor before
the Moss committee got 10 work; but
1t wasn't a circumstance 10 conditions
now. The public seems to he of one
mind. And the Indiana public espe-
cially
Dr. Wiley is either an aIumnus or an
eX-professor Of most all the colleges
in the HOosier State. Space would not
permit mentioning the list, but it's
plenty. Everybody in Indiana either
school to him, and they are all per-
fectly certain that he made the Wabash
river, caused the sycamores to grow,
founded Old Vincennes, hung up the
moon where Il could shine advantage
ously on the Hoosier landscape, and has
TO be vindicated even II Mr.. MEGA be
and DR.. Dunlap feel hurt about ii.
And Indiana a doubtful State!
It's a sad situation the Adr1inistra-
tlOn confrOnts. If it decides against
Doc" Indiana, according to reports
which are brought from the State by
perfectly serious minded persons, will
be antl-Taft by just about Is 600 more
than it would be anti-Taft otherwise.
Indiana claims to have the best pure
food law in the nation, and Is as proud
of it as ii used TO be of its literary
to the fact that it took Docs" advice
when 1t was making the statute, and it
has had him in counsel -epea tedly IN
the fights that have been made to es-
tablish the act
When the food fixers undertook to
have the law broken down as uncon-
stitutiOnal, DR.. Wiley peeled of his
coat and went out. at imminent risk
of losing his Government job, and testi-
fled for the State. The Taft Admins
tration shipped experts out by the car
load to testify against the State, and
the people haven't forgotten the per-
fOTmance. Indiana, in short, is all 'het
up" about the effort TO ruin DR.. Wiley,
and the fact that there is politics of
the most serious sort in it-very likely
politics enough to decide Presidential
result in Indiana-is giving the Admin
politicians the gravest worry.

be made as to the actual effect of GER
tain preservatives, adulterants, ETC." be-
gan DR.. Wiley. Il decided to enlist
healthy young men for experiments, be-
lieving that anything injuring them
must be harmful to infants, the aged
and the infirm. OF course, that which
does no harm to a class of healthy
young men. might do serious harm 10

Experiments With Borax.
II believed borax the least HARM

gerous and suspected the German health
authorities had opposed it's use as a
means to shutting out American meats.
We took twelve young men and
studied their physical conditions, ante
cedents, etc, carefully. We adjusted a
scientific ration for each, that would
maintain his body at uniform weight
and normal condition.
Each pledged himself to eat and
drink only what we gave; to eschew
excitement, etc. We then varied the
ration only by the addition of the pre-
servatives, so that any physical change
that took place could be charged only
to the preservative.

Bloodhounds AccuSers
Of Prosperous Farmer

FRANKLIN. Pa, Aug. B.-Lowry
Hoffman. prosperous farmer Of Ir-
win township. was charged with burn
ing the barn OF his brother Lewis last
Saturday night. The structure was
completely destroyed, together with its
contents, including a horse worth $50.
four cows. and all the seasons crops,
the loss being 5000, with only $1,000 In
surance.
1t is the theory of the prosecution
that Mr.. Lowry burned the barn in re-
Yenge for the action of Carlisle Hoh-
man, a son of Lewis, in testifying
against Mr.. Lowry in a criminal suit
Saturday afternoon.
The principal evidence against Mr..
Lowry is that two bloOdhounds twice
followed a scent from the door of the
barn to Mr.. Lowry's home. a mile
distant. On the second trip Mr.. Lowry
came out of the house, and the dogs
are alleged to have smelled him and
stood still. Mr.. Lowry sent word to
the sheriff today that he would come
to town and give bail for a hearing.

Verdict of Germans.
In Berlin the government referred
benzoate to the royal referee board on
food articles. The board examined the
work of DR.. Wiley and also that OF
the Remsen board. 1t concluded that
DIR. Wiley was correct, and the Rem
sen board, which found benzoate harm
less, was wrong. The Prussian board,
therefore, recommended that benzoate
and benzoic acid be excluded from all
German wines.
THE saltpeter and sulphate Of copper
investigations which We made have not
been printed" continued DIR. Wiley.
"All the others have. but only loo
copies of each were made. and they are
long since exhausted"
Testimony In Indiana Case.
Asked about his testimony in the In
diana case, DR.. Wiley said he testified
solely to matters of personal knowl-
edge growing out of his experience In
the inquiries.
Here the eternal Rusby case came up
again.
Did you take to Secretary Wilson a
proposal that Rusby be employed at
s., 900 salary and explain that he was
dissatisfied with his compensation?'
Il did. The Secretary approved this
proposal. But, on returning to my office,
/ looked up the vouchers showing what
Rusby had been earning heretofore. l
found he had not averaged 5000 a yaer,
but only about $500.
so ! went back to Secretary Wilson
and asked him to reduce II to $1,000
told him / had tried to get the solicitor
to appoint Rusby as an cXpert-nObOdy
but the solicitor can appoint experts

that. i wanted the Secretary to under
stand all these details. He did approve

At the close came the climax of the
whole Wiley testimony. Attorney
Davis brought up the action of the
Agricultural Department plotters, by
which DIR. Wiley was forbidden to
continue his work as one of the com
pliers and revisers of the United
States Pharmacopoeia.
The food law gives great weight
and authority to the Pharmacopoeia
standards of strength, purity, etc. of
drugs. 1t is the supreme court of all
drug affairs, and DR.. Wiley for many
years was one of the scientists who
revised II.
The Pharmacopoeia," said DIR.
Wiley, was organized in 1920 by
physicians and pharmacists. Dele
gates are elected each ten years from
medical colleges and associations,
