PRODUCE EXHIBIT.

As announced in the Citizen two months ago there will be flower and produce show held in Fairbanks about the middle of August. the prop usition having taken more definite shape al a meeting held yesterday afternoon. This paper has consist ently advocated the project in the be- lief that such an exhibition will do much to advertise the real conditions that exist in interior Alaska

An exhibition of a small amount of grain, with quartz samples and veg etables would hardly prove attractive enough to bring people from a dis tance. but if an elaborate flower show were added to these other ex- hibits there is little doubt there would be big attendance.

MR. WILSON'S ARGUMENT,

Senator knute Nelson, of Mime sota. devoted the better part of a day to arguing against reciprocity with Canada, but explains that this is only the preliminary bout. as the pugilists put it, or the opening gun, as they say in war and politics. We must expect to hear from the gentle man from Minnesota early, and hear from him often. The Congressional Records arid columns are to be watered with his words of wisdom, logic and eloquence.
 May it not be an act of altruism to cOndense for the busy reader the knute Nelson argument? It is, brought to final analysis, that free trade between the various states in the union is calamity. If the admis- sion of Canadian products will ruin the farmers of the United States the admission of the products of one state to another state must have the same effect. The imaginary line between Canada and the Northern States is exactly like the imaginary line between two states in the union. If high protectionism were the eco homie tonic 1t is represented to be by it's advocates. who was it's bene. ficiaries. there is no reason why each state should not have it's tariff wall, with it's guns looking down up- on it's neighbors. It may be argued that the smaller divisions would not have products sufficiently diversified to make protectionism profitable But the state of Texas is somewhat larger than the German Empire: Kentucky is about the size of England: Cali fornia is larger than Japan, and in- flnitely larger in natural resources.

EOUINES WALK TO DEATH

WALLA WALLA. June 12. - Scores of horses through the Walla Walla valley have been stricken with the dread walking disease '' the cause and cure of which are unknown.
 It appeared three years ago in the same locality with grave re- suits, and the experts are in no better position to handle it now than they were then.
 A symptom of the disease is strange desire on the part of the animals to walk Eagerly. even mad ly, they will walk for hours without food or rest, and in the madness that precedes death they walk into any obstruction they meet.
 The strangest part of the disease is that the horses that are in the best of health are the ones that are stricken first. They have the one desire and only one-to walk.

CORRESPONDENTS.

short time ago the Times print ed communication knocking the merchants of the camp and boosting the mail order houses It was taken to task about it and came back with the sneaking reply that it should not be held responsible for the ut, terances of its correspondents.
 This in the face of the fact that the Times turns down as many com munications as it prints. and uses only those that suit its purposes. For the Sunday (SchooD editor of the Times to deny this would be abso- lutely futile. for too many people in the camp know that such is the case.
 Now if there can be one thing more cOwardly than another for a newspaper editor to do it is to voice the sentiments he is afraid to ex- press in an editorial through the communication" column in the form of faked or instigated letters. but such has been the practice of the Times under it's present manage. ment. The letter referred to was printed in the Times simply because that paper was chagrined at the lack of support it was getting from the businessmen. and if it had been get ting lots of advertising the letter would have been consigned to the waste paper basket

THE HOSPITAL.

There appears to be al this time a great probability that the detention hospital will not be built ill Fair banks this year, in spite of the fact there remains no good reason why it's erection should not be commenc- ed at once. All that stands in the way. as far as can be judged is the whim of Marshal Love. who refuses now to unQualifedly indorse the SC. lection of the Cushman street site 10 which he few weeks ago gave his approval.
 That this kind of thing should be allowed to exist is rank outrage to the people of Alaska. who are thus deprived of rights and privi- leges for no other reasons than that a political office holder wishes to vent his spite against the duly elect ed representative of the people. and to have his own particular pet pro- ject carried out. The need for the hospital is crying one and provis. ion for it's erection has been made. The stricken unfortunates have been long enough subjected to inhuman treatment by being confined with criminals in inadequate quarters What right. under heaven. has any sucker at government pap to arbi- trarily postpone the day of their emancipation?

MANY ARE KILLED
In CHINESE RIOT
CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS ARE
VICTIMS OF SOME FIERCE
FIGHTING.

Washington, Sept. 11.-More than 4
score of persons have been killed and
many wounded during rioting in tGr-
bulent SEE Chuen province, in China.
according to information reacling
here today. Citizens and soldiers
were victims of the fighting.
The rioters were led by persons who
melted them against the government
and population, because of the ad-
ministration's attitude in permitting
foreign participation in railroad finan-
cling.
1t is believed Americans and many
foreigners had left Cheng- -Tu, the
provincial capital, before the begin
ming of fighting.
The situation is serious. The central
government is moving to check the
rioting.
The gravity of conditions and The
fearful possibilities of the mammoth
uprising has determined the Chinese
central government to suppress the
trouble. On Thursday the ring lead
ers of the agitation were arrested

rioters, killing some twenty of them
The mob returned and in a subsequen nj

CITY WILL TRY
A new MATERIAL
EXPERIMENT TO BE MADE ON
ONE OR TWO STREETS WITH
GEORGIA CLAY

Brunswick is going to Try a new
aEins m@'eral on one or i've of tle
streets of the city and if it proves to
be as good as is claimed for it. then
the paving question, to a certain ex-
tent, viii be solved The new mate
rial, of course, is not expected to
equal vitrihed brick, block and other
high class material. but it is said
to be a great improvement over oys-
ter shells, which are used on many
of the streets at present.
Fifteen carloads of clay have been
ordered and will be delivered to the
city within the next few weeks. The
material will come from a clay bed
on the Seaboard Air Line railway
near Fitzgerald. and will be sold to
the city at the low rate of 81 per
ton.
In this material many of the city
solons believe they will find a paw
ing material, substantial in every
way. cheaper than shells and in every
way superior paving material.
This clay bed was visited several
weeks ago by a committee from coun-
ell and they were very favorably inn
pressed with the material. They re
ported back and recommended that
the material be given a trial
1t has not yet been decided upon
just what streets the paving will be
placed, but the result of the expert
ment will be watched with interest.
