road in the township.

Justice Wright Decides Case
Against Safety Razor
Company.

A decision of ration wide import, ap-
plying to all "cut-rate" firms in the
land, has been given by Justice Daniel
Thew Wright, of the District Supreme
Court. He 'upholds the right OF the
O'Donnell drug stores to sell the Gill
lette safety razor at price less than
that stipulated by the manufacturer.
The decision handed down yesterday
is apparently at variance with that of
the United States Supreme Court IN
the now famous patent monopoly
case. handed down March II, last. JUS
tice Wright declares there is mark
of demarkation between the two cases,
and that the conditions of one case were
radically different from those of the
other
The decision dismisses the suit of the
Gillette Safety Razor Company, OF Bos.
ton. for an injunction to prevent James
O'Donnell druggist. from selling their
product at a price less than 80 per set.
Justice Wright has decided that In this
city a retail dealer who purchases and
pays for an article of commerce has
full liberty to sell that article at any
price satisfactory to him. The mere
fact that an article is patented and
that the manufacturer gives notice 10
retailers not to sell at prices lower than
the dealer of freedom of sale
The case will be appealed to the DIS
trCt Court OF Appeals, and VIII PROP
ably go to the United States supreme
Court before final settlement. FRANK

LONDON, Dec. IA. ~ Are men too lazy. too comfortable. or too nervous to marry?
 Bachelors are increasing in mum bers in London, weddings are bo coming scarcer and mothers with marriagable daughters are unhappy.
 CT wish clubs and flats could be swept away" says a well-known wom an writer.
 "Young men nowadays are made al together too comfortable at their iata and at their clubs to make them seeh the companionshlp of a wife.
 They no longer regard the home life as something to be desired They shirk the responsibilities of marriage because they are becoming more and more domesticated or because they can now SO easily get maid servant and general servants to do little homework.
 Indeed, the comforts of modern life tend to make man regard wife as an incumbrance rather than as a companion and helpmate."
 Why do men prefer bachelort life?
 Why Bachelors Do Not Wed.
 Tn seeking an answer to this Quos- ton all sorts and conditions of men have been asked, Why are you bachelor?"
 Mir. Arthur Bertram (the well. known London theatrical manager) said: My life in the theatrical world has been so strenuous that really I have had no time to do any courting. And apart from that I have not yet met any lady who could supplant the intense love had for my mother, The love bear my mother is sacred. She is ever my first consideration If I do marry. shall try and avoid the sort of thing which led Fergus Hume to write these lines:

 Five Valdez citizens will home stead land in the Matanuska valley. They will build cabins, etc. and will start ranching next spring with 25 head of cattle and a few horses.
 There are nearly 5000 Eskimos on Seward peninsula. Among the fatal ities large percentage is caused by ptomaine poisoning. White people first brought tuberculosis among the natives.
 Travellers along Flat creek, Iditarod district, cannot fail to be impressed with the scene of desolation which has followed the advent of the Gug- rgenheims, says the Iditarod Pioneer. Where a year or so ago the creek was a scene of great activity, now one scarcely meets a soul. About dozen men are prospecting this winter on the South Fork of the Kuskokwim
 Joseph A. Bourke has been grant ed a franchise to install water sup. ply and sewerage system in Valdez.
