In contrast, I show that the enemy could not go behind Valdez. and that the expense of fortifying Valdez bay would be a trifle as compared to the necessary ex- pense at either of the other points.
 This proposition cannot be as- sailed, and the only thing they can say is that Valdez bay is too deep for anchorage. But as Resurrection bay is equally deep, this is an objection that the Sew ard people dare not urge. As Cor dova harbOr is too far from the Matanuska coal, the contest is re- strictcd to Valdez and Seward. It is a pretty fight, with from five to ten men on the one hand, with plenty of money. and one man on the other side with a limited bank account. but with case that a deaf and dumb man could argue with his index finger.
 Finding that the Sulzer bill was no longer being considered by the committees of either the house or the senate, the next cx- pcdient was to get up q new bill, designated a bill tO construct a thousand miles of railroad in Alaska. This was to sidetrack the Flood bill, which bill was ac- ceptahle ;n the committee of ter ritories of the house. The parties engineering the "one thousand mile bill" attempted to break in to the house committee with it, but the committee saw it was simply taking them by another route to the same point the Sul- ger bill was headed for--that is, tho sale of the Alaska Northern to the United States. Secretary Fisher would be the controlling factor under the "one thousand mile" bill, although. it provides that the president shall appoint the railway commission by and with the advice and consent of the senate.

up pineapple and it got awfully dark,
and my Strawberries did not keep nice
either. | should Ike TO know how TO
preserve the berries, also how to can
them so they look nice.
YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.
Perhaps you cooked your fruit in
an iron kettle. which would make them
turn dark. A granite kettle is best
To can strawberries, first sterilize
cans al ~-lvers. then pack cans full Of
fresh, - berries and set on blocks
OF wood or thick cloths, in an ordinary
boiler. Make a syrup. using TWO even
teacups (about a piuD of sugar for
each quart jar. Pour this syrup warm,
not hot into Jars until they are full
10 the top. Then put on tops, without
screwing tight. and cook in boiler half
an hour when berries should be done.
tAll berries can be canned this way;
raspberries need less cookingD Tops
can then be screwed tight and the
berries should retain shape and good
color.
/ Pineapple should be cooked before
putting into the jars, adding sugar
while cooking. Fill into sterilized jars
while hot and fasteu on tops. Set
Jars on wet cloths while pouring in
hot syrup. and you will seldom have

TO SOLICIT AID
FROM GROCERS
City Authorities Seek Coopera-
ton From Retailers for
the Market.
GARDENERS BLACKLISTED
Had Been Advised to Stay Away From
Mart-Peddlers Gobble Up the
Produce Again.

AS a means of bringing about the
betterment OF Rock Islands city mar
ket. Mayor II. NJ. Schriver, Commits
sioner Archie Hart md Louis Funken-
stein, market master, are to confer
with the retail grocers of Rock Island
and try TO map out some plan through
which the grocers viii consent to be-
come patrons Of the market. This
plan was hit upon this morning when
it was learned that in some instances
grocers have blacklisted gardeners
who peddle their produce through the
intermediary OF the city market. BY
GERS, the authorities will have secured
a means of making the market sue
cess.
There is another thing with which
the city must contend and that is the
large number of peddlers who pur,
chase produce from the gardeners be,
fore the housewife has an opportunity
to make purchases. There is no ap
parent remedy for that except that
/ through the gardener. who has a right
/ to say 10 whom he will sell his goods
RAIN INTERPRETERS AGAIN.
This morning, due largely to the re
cent heavy rains, there was but little
| produce on the market and the greater
portion of it was purchased by the
peddlers. There were several womer
there and they purchased vegetables
etc, at a slightly higher price thai
was paid by the peddler. The differ
ence in price is an argument in favo
of sale to the consumer. There wer,
but two hucksters on the market thi
morning. Several farmers who ha
contemplated having produce on tn
market were hindered by the rain.
