WILL NOT REOPEN BREWERY

M. J. O'Connor has purchased the Adsit brewery, but he has no inten- tion of manufacturing beer. As soon as he can get ready he intends to con- vert the building into hotel
 For two years and half, the brew cry building and the brewery machin- cry has been an elephant on the hands of the owner back in Maine. At the time of o. H. Adsit s death, the brew cry had not been in operation for some time, but, the rent was regularly paid. On his death, Richard Johnson, who died few months ago in Juneau was the administrator of the Adsit estate, and he had long since found the estate in a tangle he could not unite. The brewery having been so long in dis use, parts of it, as the tanks for in stance, were not in shape to be used again as a brewery and could not find a ready sale for sufficient money to pay the debts.
 Furtnefm0re, there was mortgage on the machinery taken by the Tread we'll company for money loaned to, as sist a Douglas island industry, and when the administrator had been in possession long enough to be possessed of the true state of affairs, there was also the landlords bill for rent. The property was in the hands of the court, the landlord felt some uneasiness in setting it out into the street, and for two years he wrote oc- acasional letters to his friends here, ask ing them to suggest ways and means whereby he might get rid of the in cumbus. This MT. O'Connor will now undertake to do.
 The new owner has force of men at work making such repairs as can be made with the machinery in the building. The fact that it is Mayor O'Connor who is to convert the build ing into a hotel, is sufficient guarantee that the structure will be a credit to the island. It was the need for a ho- tel as well as the profit, which has in duced the mayor to take it over

STORIES OF STRIKES

s "Is there really anything to these reports of gold strikes you so often print in your paper?' lady at the post asks.
 AYes, there is really something to the reports; the facts are given as nearly accurate as possible. The source of in formation regarding gold discoveries is always stated and the oldtimers rely to certain extent upon the credibility of the informant
 Life in Alaska makes gamblers of us all. Men take long chances in the north. They undergo untold hardships, meet many disappointments, and toll all their resources are gone they return to the towns to earn another grubstake or, perchance, induce some merchant to furnish them an outfit so that they can start out afresh; for the born prospect pector never gives up. They are the men who each year push the frontier line further and further to the north.
 In many cases the prospector, when he does strike it, never fully reaps the benefit. Often claimants rise, as if from the very dirt in which the pay is found. Long drawn out lawsuits fol low, and if the prospector wins he finds that a goodly share of his riches has gone to the attorneys
 On the other hand, men in towns are imposed upon by some prospectors. r These imposters secure a grubstake from a business man, and then loaf around some saloon; perhaps going out into the hills for change and looking over the country. Coming back they report that they "could not get even color" This type is soon spotted, however, and the real prospector gener-

BOUGHT FOR AN ICE PLANT

bOONf1I Oh AIN IOEi E1L<AN
 To William H. Brewer, who died at his home in New Haven recently, be- longs much of the credit for the pur- chase of Alaska. It was he who was largely instrumental in persuading President Johnson and Secretary Sew ard of the advisability of that move, says the New York Tribune.
 ''I urged three reasons upon Sew ard for buying Alaska. said Professor Brewer, recently. "' First, we need it for its fisheries rights I said to him. What great thing for America if we owned the Banks of Newfoundland. See how much the fishing industry built up the Dutch republic England has always fostered her fishing indus try, and see her results!
 "Second, I said that Alaska must become great source of ice for the Pacific coast. How laughable that req son appears enow! Yet it was a very scientific argument then, and the com pany which controls the fishing indus tries of Alaska was originally only an ice company, according to it's charter.
 HThe third reason was very senti- mental reason, but I am inclined to think that it is being demonstrated by the events of later years. l said that the climate and scenery of Alaska were of pecuniary value. It was land of unequaled sublimity and grandeur. The Alps have brought millions of dol lars into Switzerland. The White mountains have brought fortunes into New Hampshire. Both will in time yield to Alaska in mountain scenery. l can still see Seward smile as I told him that the people of the United States would in time want to visit Al said I might not live to see the time, but that a nation lives longer than a man, and that the time would surely come when trips to the northern reg ions would be commonly made for pleasure"
 Seward was convinced, but Johnson proved more difficult. A while after Prof. Brewer s conversation, however, the president visited New Haven, and there the advocate of Alaska met him and completed his work.
 Prof. Brewer was an expert on the subject of the horse. More than 30 years he predicted the coming of the two-minute racer. He also advocated the use of horsefesh as food.
 He won considerable reputation as traveller, and was much at home in the northern regions. He also had climbed several of the highest peaks of the Rockies. In the recent Peary-Cook controversy he stood up for the dis credited explorer and declared that both men might have reached the pole.

INSPECTORS BUSY

FThe office of the United States To- cal inspectors of steam vessels has been very busy place since their return from western Alaska points,' says we'll known steamboat man. "There have been numerous violations of the steamboat inspection laws and these matters have all to be investigated and later on, if grounds for charges are found they are preferred and the guilty ones have to stand trial. There is. no good reason why this state of affairs should exist, particularly in this locality where the office is within easy reach of all concerned and where there is always on hand for distribution cop ies of the laws, rules and regulations and pilot rules and the various bull letins issued by the department. In addition to this the inspectors them selves stand ready at all times to ad- wise as to the right course to be per sued in all matters relating to the reg ulation of steamboats and licenses.1

Seek and Find.

Here are a few things w. G. T..
U. women living in wet towns can
do for the cause: Gather the facts
as to how much money the saloon
keeper banks after each pay day
as compared with the amount on
other days. Ask your doctors as
to the amount of disease due to
debauchery, and the number and
kind of cases where the drink
habit induces dangerous symp-
toms. Learn what is the actual
investment of capital in saloons in
your town and how many men are
therein employed. Find out from
your charity workers the number
of cases seeking relief and how
many are seeking this relief be-
cause of drink. Ask fifty lntelli-
gent people whether if they were
suddenly set free from their social
and business ties, they would
choose that (wet) town as the best
and most wholesome in which to
live and raise their families?-W.

Remember Maine.

M.Na
Can the temperance people in
the State of Maine win in their
struggle withouta close, compact,
comprehensive, wide-awake or
ganization? They cannot, and the
sooner the people in those states
and others fully realize this and
meet the condition the better it
will be.
Do our people really compre-
bend the danger of allowing liq-
nor interests to capture these
states? How much easier to hold
than to regain them! Must thou
sands of homes be ruined in
Maine before people can realize
that the statements of the liquor

ought to be organized from the
whole state down to the precint.
We simply cannot afford to take
any chances. The liquor men are
taking none and if we do we will
suffer.
What can people III other states
do to help? They can furnish
money, speakers and literature.
The Presbyterian committee is Of
fering all three, and one hundred
cents of every dollar given for this
purpose through this agency will
be sent without charges the donors
may direct.
Two generations of people have
grown up in Maine largely with
out any practical knowledge of
the open saloon. Whatever the
violations of law may have been
they are as nothing compared
with the demoralizing influence of
legalized vice.
In proportion to her population
Maine is said to have fewer GRIM
inals, a larger number of high
school graduates, the fewest rent
ers, the most owners of their own
homes, the largest per capita
amount in the savings banks, the
fewest women working for a liv-
ing and the fewest children in
factories than any other state.
Why reverse these conditions at
the behest of the liquor trafic?-
