COLD STORAGE IN ALASKA

On June r.. 1911, there was read m the United States senate letter dated June \. 1911. and written by Charles Richardson. president of the Pacifc Cold Storage Co. of Tacoma, addressed 10 Senator Wesley l.. | u.S. auent the Heyburn bill al feCliug cold storage In the letter Richa, dson says that his company has supplied practically all of the meat that has been consumed in Alaska for ten years. and that there has not been d single complaint as 70 is quality and the condition of the meat Mr Richardson in that letter. however. failed 10 tell the senate that some uf this meat had been kept by them for a period of three years. and il was their inten ton to dispose of The same 10 their customers.
 In that letter he says that they put their meat in cold storage in the spring and it is kept through the summer till winter. and put back into storage in -pIing and held until the next supply gets in from Tacoma.
 Nv that sounds good. and would be good if il told the whole truth The Cold Storage company, as well as every me else knows that they could not sell one single pound of meal that was held over the second summer. if their customers knew the truth. We all know how We long 10 get relief from that cold storage meat in the spIingtime, and how We welcome the arrival of the fresh meat. But horrors. they have carried that same old stock over rhe summer, at which We had been turning our noses up the spring be fore. and coming back al us with the same Id meat the next winter.
 We are humiliated as much at be ing fooled like this, when we thought ourselves so all-fired wise. as We are al hearing this so very righteous corporation take money from Us under the pretense that it was giving us meat put in storage the summer before. when il was likely t1 have been put in there two CT three years previous.
 MT Richardson concludes that let ter 10 the senate in the following language: Where it will be allowed to continue a business that is one of the evidences and fruits of mod ern civilization and progress" If they can keep that meat In good condition for healthful consumption three years. they can twenty, and in fact there is no limit. But 10 say the least We admire the company for its pure. fresh nerve. That will keep without their plant.

PAY YOUR TAXES.

IL Is gratifl ing 10 learn that the people are responding 10 the appeal to come in and pay their taxes. Many had forgotten about the matter en- tirely. and while others thought their taxes had been paid. most of them come under the head of neg ligent l. matters not why your taxes have not been paid, ir is your duty 10 go and pay them. Ii these taxes are paid up the city will be out of debt and We will commence the next year with clean slate and lower rate. Then. again. We will have the splendid satisfaction of knowing that each one of Us has done his share. and that none of Us have spOnged off of our ueighbpr. It is grand thing to know and feel that We have done our part, paid our share and have no apology to make tor taking the benefits of city gov ernment.
 We heartily concur with the attDr- ney for the city in his determination 10 collect from ali of the delinquents, even if he must do so by legal ac- tion. IL certainly will look bad for any man to permit d suit to be brought against him for from one to ten dollars. The attorney has in formed us that practically all amounts over $10 will be paid before the close of the next week. and that he will then give his special atfen- tiOn to the small amounts It l. gratifying to know that there has been such a response to the appeal to settle, and ii would seem that very few more suits will re neces- sary to assure all of tEs back taxes.

DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION.

The Democrats are organizing in all ot the districts of Alaska, and by the lime that the campaign opens next spring. the party will be in elect dele gate 10 congress. The organization of the party means much more. however, than the cleo Ii n of a delegate. IL means that the Democratic party will have a head through which it will be con suited by the administration in the event of the election of a Democratic president of the United States. The club rolls are now open for sig natures and about 200 have signed up to the present time. It is not the policy of the organization to insist upon signatures 10 the roll but it is their purpose to get a proper line upon all persons who will be of the party after election. if a Democratic president is elected It is of much greater importance that the Democrats get a good organization in Alaska, than that they elect a delegate to congress, because it is al most conceded fact that the Demo- clats will elect president and also a majority of the members of both branches of congress; and that the Democratic party will legislate for Alaska. It follows that the Demo- cratic administration will be guided by the Democratic organization in Alaska as to the laws passed for Alaska; and the Democratic national organization as we'll as the Demo cratic president will be guided who'll ly by the recommendation of the Democratic organization in Alaska
 Thus it will be plain that if a Republican should be sent to Wash ington as delegate from Alaska. with Democratic administration, that the RepuDllcan delegate would have no voice whatever in the making of any of the several hun dred appointments for Alaskan posi- tions, nor would he nave any voice in the shaping of the laws for Alas ka, where they woul1 T.! any man~el conflict with the principles of Dem ocracy. Now, if Republican would have but little influence with a Democratic administration, even with his party back of him, an indepen- dent would certainly cut but very lit tie figure. The man that wants to have voice in the councils of the party must come forward and show his colOrs now.

GERMANY AND ITS BEER.

"What is beer" seems to have stirred up more controversy than that other question, What is whis- key" remarked c. P. Gospel. a New York lawyer, who recently re turned from a trip to Germany, where he traversed the beer district. The higher country stands in it's civilization, the Stricter is the en- forcement of laws governing pure foods, and the crusade the United States is making in this direction is winning the praise of every nation in Europe" continued MT. Gospel. Over in Germany beer has long been regarded not only as a bever- age, but as food, and is often rec commended by physicians. The diff ferent kinds of beer of Germany de rive their names from the districts in which they are brewed. Pilsener beer. for instance, is called after the city of Pilsen, a place in Be hemia about the size of Washingr Cn. Munich beer is brewed in Munich. Berliner Wesbeer in Berlin, and so with other beers like WurZburger and Nuernberger.
 The difference in the taste and quality of these beers is due in a large measure to the waters used in the brewing Pilsener beer, light beverage, is dependent for it's char acteristics upon the peculiarly soft water of Pilsen, which contains no minerals. Munich beer, dark beer on the other hand. is made from hard water. Between these extremes there are in Europe intermediate waters, resulting in different kinds of beers, as Wurzburger, Nuernber- ger and other kinds.
 Tt is always a source of wonder to the German visiting America why the sale of beer is prohibited on Sundays, for in the fatherland the workingman is privileged to imbibe his glass of beer in any city and at any time"

government required all persons who
 would retain any interest in the coal land to mine coal IherefroTI continuously, then would the coal
 trusts have their own way. with
 but little trouble. All they would have to do would be to reduce the price Of coal below cost of mining for
 while. and the competitor would soon have to quit mining. and the
 instant that he shut down his works
 he would lose his title to the ground. and the trusts by owning only very
 little coal land. could put all com petitoIs out of business. and the!
 would lose their land. and would have
 to seek pastures new. This is very
 good dream for the coal trusts
 and railroad companies. There cer-
 tainly could be no holding of coal
 land for speculation under that sys-
 tenn. For no man outside of the
 trusts could hold any coal land at
 all. Mir. Joslin would not have made
 that argument deliberately had he deliberated.
 He says that prices would be high
 CT if the government mined coal. than if mined by the individual We deny the statement That is pet argument of the trusts and monopol- ists; and the stock in trade as an argument against the government ownership of railroads But an in
 vestigation into the facts will show it's untruth. Send a letter Outside by express. See the cost. If the government should select the most available piece of coal land in the Matanuska field and proceed to mine
 coal there. it would build railroad to tide water and fiji up the road especially for hauling coal, and
 would erect bunkers of proper ca pacity. and would put that coal in those bunkers for about 70 cents per ton. and could figure the highest | possible wages in that estimate. The government could sell that coal to l the consumer at the bunkers for l sl.O0 per ton. and make good l profit on the same. This is the only sure way for the government 10 safe guard the people in their ownership of this coal, and those people who l consume il. This is the sane thing | for Alaskans to advocate. for it would get the coal mined much l quicker than any other way. and
 would build our railroads much quick
 CT than any other way. And when l the government had built its railroad
 to the coast. it would certainly eX-
 tend if to the interior, through the 1 Nenana fields to the Fairbanks dis trict.
