IHE B|NCLE" MAY OPEN TOMORROW

If the Schwatka's barge gets here in time there will be d new cigar store opened on Front street to- morrow. This is the neat stand that is to be known as The Bin gle, and is to be conducted by Messrs. Harkeom X Gable. both eN- perienced in the business and well acquainted with the needs Of the local trade
 The proprietors say that they have not got a million cigars coming. as they do not expect any very eNtcn- sive calls for their wares from per sons situated remote from the Tan ana valley, but they do believe they have a stock coming on the afore- said Schwatka barge that will appeal to discriminating Fairbanks and creek smokers. This stock will comprise all the Fairbanks fayorites. besides a number of new brands, and it has been selected carefully by competent buyer.
 In addition to all kinds of cigars. cigarettes and tobaccoes at The Bingle will be found soft drinks. ice cream and nice line of the freshest candies. As both the pro prietors are well known and have many friends it may confidently be predicted that they will get their share of the Front street trade.

Predicts Control

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
FRESNO, Cal, Jan. 17.-"Not
less than twenty representatives
of the socialist and organized la
Dor movement will sit in the legis-
lature at Sacramento a year from
today and voice the demand OF
the working class for the wealth
which has been taken from it,
said Job Hartman today, after
talking privately with delegates
to the convention of the state
building trades council from
Eureka, San Diego and most OF
the towns between.
The endorsement given to po-
litical solidarity of organized la
Dor and socialism by the conven-
ton yesterday marked the turn
ing point of labor's fortunes on
this coast. From this moment we
sweep forward to the emancipa-
ton of the workers. The man
who will stand in the road with
doctrinaire objections to work
ing class revolt will be one who
does not understand labor's SER
iousness nor its power"

DOPE

Judge Stiles handed Commits
sioner Petit a written opinion
this morning on the proposed
prize fight, also on athletic clubs
and sidelights on the county pros
ecutor.
First Stiles says as head of the
police Petit can prevent the Mar
tin-Leon match.
Second, prosecution under the
law must be by the county prose-
cutor, and arguing from past his-
tory you will not receive very en-
thusiastic support" from that
quarter.
Third, the proposed athletic
club is a sham, and shown to be
such on its face by the fact that
a negro and white pugilist are to
be members, says the Judge. Yet
he suggests that the promoters
might make 1t troublesome to
prove just the line dividing box
ing for exercise" from prize
lighting.
