COUNCIL ACCEPTS PROF.
FEREO |NC|NERAT0R SITE
Board Of Health viii Proceed to Get Plans
and Specifications for Same, to
Submit 10 State Board,

The council, by vote of seven to
two, on Tuesday evening accepted
the proffered lease of the Great
Northern Mining Company for an
incinerator site just west of the
Oliver Park, and the board of health
will proceed with arrangements for
the installation of this needed i'm
provement by securing plans aud
specifications for same to be sub.
mitted to the state board of health
for approval. The lease as accept
ed is for term of fifteen years, with
the general reservations usually
made in all Oliver company leases.
The estimated cost of the proposed
improvement is $4,000, and such a
plant is greatly needed. Heretofore
the city has maintained garbage
grounds on private property, and
has repeatedly been compelled to
seek new quarters. 1t is to be pre-
sumed the plant will be erected this
season, and from then on the garb-
age question will cease to be the
troublesome pest it has been in past.
The council also gave the street
railway franchise it's second read.
ing, Attorney Knapp appearing in
behalf of the promoters, represent.
ing Attorney Oscar Mitchell of Du-
luth, whose presence was made i'm
possible by prior engagements. Mr..
Knapp assured the council that
eastern capital was awaiting favor
able action on the franchise, that
no time might be lost in floating
bonds and getting in shape tor &C.
tive work. The company seeks and
obtains similar franchises in all
range cities, and in entering Vir-
ginia will strike Wyoming avenue
at the north end, thence to Mesaba
avenue, traversing this thorough
fare for it's entire distance. Chief
Engineer Thomas also appeared in
behalf of the company, explaining
in detail the plans. 1t is to be hop.
ed the concessions may be permit
ted to stand if the company means
business, as the range cities are
entitled to and would furnish a re-
munerative field for trolley line.

THE GREAT BLACK PLAGUE,

Although it constitutes the great est curse to humanity that ever existed, there is a certain blood and skin disease of which we seldom speak or write. This great black plague has ruined millions of the guilty. But, far more pitiful to re- late, it has destroyed many more millions of the innocent, verifying in all it's terrible literalness the truth of the biblical assertion that the sins of the father shall be visit ed upon the children.
 It has been estimated by the high est medical authority that in the United States alone there are two millions of sufferers from one of these black plaques of blood dis eases, and that beside it, as a men, ace, typhoid halts, cancer falls far behind and even tuberculosis is hard pressed for first pace. It is known to be the most potent single factor in the degeneration of the race.

WHY STANDPATTERS OPPOSE
 RECIPROCITY
WHY

Have you Republicans stopped to consider why the old line Republi- cans in congress are fighting the bill for reciprocity with Canada The reason is simple and plain The farmers of the United States at present are able to make fair of the tariff that they have on their products. And if Canadian farmers are permitted to ship their products in free, the price of the home farm CT would be cut and the Canadian farmer would have the advantage over him. But why would he have an advantage. The answer is simple. The American farmer is compelled to pay cut-thrOat tariff on every thing he must buy. Cn account of our high protective tariff, and the Canadian has not that burden on his shoulders. As a result of that difference the home farmer will have about DO per cent. the worst of it. And the stand-pat Republican hyena ill congress well knows that if the tariff is taken off of the farm product. that the farmer will vote with the Democrats in 1912. and take the unjust protective tariff off of his shoulders so that he will have an equal show against the Canadian farmer. And by the way that is all he wants

CAPTAIN JEANETTE.

Captain Barnette mas arrived. He states that he is here to see that every depositor in the defunct Wash ington Alaska bank is paid dollar for dollar. He is preparing, he says. statement of his connection with the transactions of the bank since the reorganization, but this is not yet ready for publication The significant point, however, is the fact that the depositors are to be paid, and this is news of the greatest importance to the camp. While Captain Barnettes coming back to Fairbanks is not of itself prima facie proof that the depositors are to be refunded, that fact should go long way to encourage the be- lief that the captain intends to do what he says, and all will join in the hope that his plans are such as will command success.

RETRENCHM ENT.


 There is no denying the fact that the city is faced with a condition which necessitates the cutting down very considerably of the municipal expenses and there appears no good reason why there should be any de- lay in going about it. The taxes this year are, in the light of busi- ness conditions, excessive. and there should be no time lost in providing against such large levy being nec- esSary next year.
 There are number of ways in which the expenses of the city might be cut without materially affecting the efficiency in administering the ordinary civic business. One of these is that suggested by Council man Rappolt at Fridays meeting, whereby one, or even two, of the firemen should be called on to do patrol duty in place of regular patrolman. The plan seems feasible, more especially during the summer when fire calls are infrequent. and should work out satisfactorily. It is probable that there would be lit tie delay in getting to a fire on the part of the man engaged in patrol duty, and there are in any case al ways plenty of volunteers at hand at every fire.
 Salaries that undoubtedly should be cut are those of the city clerk and magistrate, and city attorney. magistrate in the hands of a man who is engaged in a business that would pelmit him to give the neces- sary time to the city's work without seriously conflicting with his own, there should be saved to the city One-half of the present salary. Let three or four men who want the job, and who are capable of handling it. be asked for bids and it will be surprising if this condition is not developed
 The office of city attorney is one which easily could be abolished. The city has already been advised as to it's proper procedure in most of the emergencies which are likely to arise, and it is only very infre-  quently the call for the actual ser vices of an attorney is made. In such cases it would be much cheap CT to hire an attorney to handle the city's business than it is now under the present system. For the many examples" in the city's ordi- nance book that the clerk should have no difficulty in framing any new ones that might be called for
 The fines should be restored in the restricted district and a stricter police surveillance maintained on the selling of liquor It is the easi est matter in the world to discover infractions of the law prohibiting the sale of liquor by the women, and these infractions should be se- verely dealt with. If the first of fense were punished with a blue tic ket and the women made to under stand that this would be the regu- lar procedure there would be no at- tempts made to evade the law There should also be general round ing up of the women into the re- stricted district and none should be allowed to locate outside of the Row.
 With even these few changes made very considerable curtailment of expenses could be effected, and there are undoubtedly other means of retrenchment that could be sug-

MORE AFTER THE
WAIAkEA LANDS

HILO, Sept. 12.-When Governor !
Frear and his retinue come to Hilo |
the petition for the opening of the
waste. land of Waiakea in the vicinity |
Of Hilo for home lots will not be the /
only petition for the opening 'of Waia- /
kea lands which will be presented to /
him. A new demand for the opening
of lands included under the Waiakea /
lease, but not used by the Waiakea
Mill Company, owing to their barren |.
and rocky character, appeared last
week, when a demand was heard for
the opening of a tract of land near the
Puma boundary. The growing interest
which is being taken in the cultiya-
ton of ava is responsible for the last
development. Those who are inter
ested in the matter say that they wan,
the land in order to grow ava there
on. They say that excellent prices are
being paid for the root, which is used
on the mainland for certain medicinal
preparations, and although it lakes
several years for the crop to mature,
they claim that there is considerable
profit in its cultivation.
The petition which was circulated
last week was signed by a number of
Hawaiians. Originally it was the in
tention to send the document to Ho-
nolulu by the Claudine yesterday, but
when it was learned that it would ar
rive in Honolulu after the governor
had left for this island, it was decided
to await the arrival of Frear in Hilo,
when it might be presented to him in
person.
The text of the petition is in sub
stance as follows:
Hon. w. F. Frear, Governor Of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii:
Dear Strive, the undersigned, citi-
zens of the Territory of Hawaii, L. ..
A., respectfully request that should
the government be able to secure the
land from the Waiakea Mill Company,
near the Puma boundary in the Panae-
wa woods, on the volcano road, that
said land, being a portion of the ahu-
puaa of Waiakea, be divided into lots
of not less than twenty-five acres and
/ be allotted to us under the most fay
orable terms which the government
can extend under the law, as we wish
to take up said lands for the purpose
Of raising ava thereon
