NEW USE FOR SINGLES

Ed (Casey) Armstrong, the beach merchant has scheme to make the bingle work overtime, as puller of trade.
 The bingle, it should be said for the benefit of the lady readers of The Sourdough, is a favor which is dis trbuted to the guests after each game in the Front street social functions They are just as good as real money as far as they go, but there their legal tender qualities are limited. For a gin fig or Douglas Henry Clay-both mighty fine things in their way, couple of bingles will go as far as two bts They never were good for any thing, however, but what passed over the bar.
 Armstrong has grocery store on the beach, and he also has brilliant Idea now and then.
 "If the bingle,' it occurred to him the other day, "is a good thing to pull trade for a thirst parlor, wouldn t 1t work on a grocery stores"
 Armstrong is having a back room built in and he intends to install sew eral card tables for social games. Af- ter each game, bingles will be distrib uted, while the loser digs. But the bingles cannot be exchanged for booze. They can be passed over the counter for sugar, beans and bacon, however, and no man need be long on bingles and short on grub, just because he has been in poker game the night be- fore.
 Many a man has wished, in the cold gray dawn of the morning after, that he could trade a wad of bingles for mess of ham and eggs, and the beans and bacon bingles may be bowling success in live town where the tenn perance saloon failed.

INDIANS WANT NEW TOWN

Down on Prince of Wales island conflict between the chiefs and the older Indians on one side, and the young generation of natives on the other has reached an acute stage The younger Indians are in a state or peaceful revolt, and plans for secces- sion are about to be put in active op- eration.
 According to the old tribal customs of the Haidas, young man cannot build a house without permission of the chiefs. The young men have been growing farther and farther away from the old tribal customs, and the chiefs, when permission is sought to erect a dwelling, take advantage of the oc- casion to enforce some of the tribal regulations which are obnoxious to the progressive young men of the tribe, who wish and indeed have adopted the habits of the white man.

UNDOUBTEDLY A FORGER

There may be some people in Alaska who believe that there is something left intact of the Comptroller bay scandal. Unquestionably the fingers of the democracy in the house were burn ed with it. There is hardly an anti administration paper in the United States, but has, at least tacitly, ad- mitted that the muckrakers failed to make good The evidence given be- fore the Investigating committee was so convincing, that it was impossible for the house majority to make cam paign capital out of the report, and the committee lacked the courage to bring the matter to the conclusion it would have been forced to reach.
 Says the P-I.:
 One of the last things Congressman Humphrey did before adjournment was to peel the hide off the Graham com mittee which was sidestepping the in vestigation of the Dick to-Dick letter. After having given the muckrakers op- portunity to assail reputable men, the committee quit it's investigation with out getting to the bottom of he scheme which involved conspiracy and a forged letter.
 ''There is no question in my mind
The Alaska sourdough., 1911-09-08

but that the so-called Dick-to-Dick letter was forgery, said MT. Hum phrey last night at the Hotel Wash ington Annex. "Chairman Graham would not put Miss Abbott, who gave publicity to the letter, on the witness stand or permit her to be examined. Miss Abbott was frequently in the com mittee room and there was no excuse that she was not available. I took the opportunity before the session closed to tell Chairman Graham what I thought about this system of investi- gation.'
