1 walked down Main street the 9th
er day and I was really and genuine
ly surprised to see those old burned
and charred buildings still standing
there unmolested and defving, as it
were, the march of progress l thought
sure that council had taken my ad-
vice long ago and condemned them
as nuisances. They certainly do not
add to the attractiveness Of that end
of town, and 1 have wondered and WonT
dered some more why they should be
permitted to remain. 1 don't know
who claims the ownership of them, and
I doubt if you get any one to admit
that they belonged to him or her. In
fact, l am almost certain that they do
not belong to any woman, for you
could not get a woman to permit them
to stand as they are.

Why not let old man Trouble take
to the woods and then set the woods
on fire? 1t is good advice and sup
pose we all take it.

Candidates in the
 Third Division

FAIRBANKS, Dec. 5. - L. T. Err win, of Fairbanks, is an active can didate for United States marshal to succeed H. K. Love, in the Fourth judicial division. Dan Callahan also a Democrativ war horse, is, too a candidate, and John Roman is also be. ing groomed for the place. Erwin was delegate to the Baltimore con. vention, Callahan was regular" in the campaign for delegate, but it is al. leged that Roman bolted the terrltor, lal ticket and worked and voted for Martin Harrais.
 However, Marshal Loves term ex. pires early in January and either he will be reappointed, or some Republi' can will, and there may be dis tinct probability that there will be no vacancy for some time to come.

WANT OFFICES IN
 SECOND DIVISION

NOME, Dec. 5.-A. E. Todd, form CT manager of the Nome Bank & Trust Company, is a candidate for the United States marshal, to sue ceed T. Cader Powell, whose term eN- pires next June. Mir. Todd lived fo: ten years, in Nome, but for the past two years has been living in Seattle. He is said to have influential backing for the place
 Another candidate is Joseph E. Plein, a well known local mining man. The term of Judge Cornelius D. Mu. rane will not expire until 1914, and that of District Attorney Bernard S. Rodley has two years yet to run. Rodey has spent but little time in this judicial division since he received his appointment, and it is believed that an attempt will be made to have him removed soon after President Wil. son assumes office.
 There are only two Democratic law. yers in the Second division, both of whom are mentioned as successors to Judge Murane. These are George B. Girgsby, former district attorney appointed by President Taft, and O. | D. Cochran, a former Mayor of Nome

lowers Cost of
 Living for the Poor

HAMBURG, Dec.-Prime beef has become so scarce and high.priced in this part of Germany that the city oi Hamburg is selling inferior grades to the public under police restrictions under control of the "Freibank." The meat is divided into three grades as follows:
 High Class, possessing full nutritive and gastronomic qualities.
 Inferior, from well nourished ami mals, which, owing to some slight ill' ness, is of poor color, but not so harm full that it cannot be eaten raw.
 Meat from very old, or tubercular animals; often tainted.
 It is with the meat of the third class that "Freibank" particularly deals The meat is freed from the blemished parts by a veterinary sur geon, and then put into a sterilizer after which it is sold in small Quan titles to consumers.
 The "Freibank" is composed of To- cal cattle commission agents and the butchers guild. It sells the third class meat at it's own headquarters and none of it can go into the shops or restaurants. The sale hours are from ' to II a. m. and from 5 to p. m.

Andy Bays Has
 Come Home Again

Andy Bays, a sourdough of an, cient vintage. arrived on late boat and registered at the Occidental. All the old timers with varying emotions remember Mir Bays as a United States deputy marshal.
 Mir. Bays has quit the political game and has been on the Outside for some time.
 Down in California" said Mir. Bays. they are taking a very active interest in the development of Alas ka. The immense profits in the fish ing business has enticed considera- ble California money Transportation on the Yukon has called out some more and now mining is calling in- sistently for more investment. And they can't resist the call.
 The developments in and around Juneau have created a stir in min ing circles not only in California and other coast towns but all over the country.
 Up in Seattle, I find that the old arrogant spirit has been succeeded by state of real concern as to Seat ties hold upon the trade of Alaska, Just now nearly every Seattle busi- ness man is making a study of Alas ka and Alaska's people. They don't want to lose their trade up here and they are trying to find out what is wrong between Seattle and Alaska.
 Here too, Juneau and the great gold belt that is being developed is receiving lots of attention and there will be many people come up in the spring"
 Mir. Bays has come back to stay in the Northland and will probably To- cate in Juneau.

ATTITUDE
 CAUSES ALARM

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The refusal of Russia to recognize the independence of Albania has increased the com. plexity of the Balkan situation, al. though the chances for peaceable settlement of the questions involved seem to be increasing notwithstand- ing Russia's attitude, and 1t is prob. able that Russia will assume a diff erent position when the peace com missioners meet in London to consid. CT all the questions involved in the present conflict.
 The declaration of independence by the Turkish province of Albania was brought about by Tsmail Kemil, the Albanian leader. who has been ac- tive for years in the movement to &C., cure independence for his country.

Small Chance of
 Reducing Postage

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The most important bill introduced in Congress up to the present is perhaps that of Senator Penrose, which provides for the reduction of letter postage to one cent. For the first time in the his. tory the Postofice Department the past fiscal year paid expenses had a small surplus to its credit. It is not too likely, however, that the Penrose bill will be passed. It's opponents urge that to reduce the present post. age one.half would create deficit of large proportions in the postoffce revenues, just after 1t had been made self.sustaining.

1t may be set down as fact that no selections have been made, even entatlyely, and 1t is equally certain that no definite announcements will be made until March is near. In the meantime many guesses will be made probably some of them will hit the mark.
 It is stated that President-elect and Mrs. Wilson may be the guests of President and Mrs. Taft at the White House for a day during the holidays.
