The Flimsy Candy Argument.

"Untax the children's candy
That is the impressive slogan that
we are hearing from some Of the
friends of free sugar. At frs
thought it impresses us deeply. We
love the little children and the big
children who eat candy, and at first
glance it seems brutal to lay the
ruthless hand of taxation upon the
delights of the young. And yet,
the more we think of it the less inn
portance we are inclined to attach
to the candy argument. First. it
is well to remember that no indus
try has undergone a greater change
in the last thirty years than the
manufacture of candy. The old
fashioned stick candy of the past
is not so much in evidence as it
used to be. We are living in a day
of chocolates, bonbons and other
pretty and attractive stuff, and the
juvenile pays from 40
cents to a dollar a pound for modern
CONNECTIONS.
Sugar is, of course, an essential
ingredient in the manufacture OF
candy, but on the average, we
should say that a pound of modern
candy contains but little, if any,
over a half a pound of sugar.
Confectioner's sugar costs from
$4.75 to $5.35 per 100 pounds, and
100 pounds of sugar will make near
ly 200 weight of finished candy
The 200 pounds of candy will re-
tail at the average Of 40 cents a
pound, or $50, and the cost Of the
sugar which enters into its manu-
facture is but a trifle over 3 per
cent of the retail sale price. The
sugar in a pound of candy doesn't
actually cost as much as the box in
which the candy is packed, and If
free sugar will lessen the cost a
cent and a half a pound, a. the
friends of the measure claim, the
manufacturers will regard the re-
duction Of cost so slight hat they
will scarcely reduce the wholesale
price a particle. They will merely
pocket it as a little extra profit.
AS in many other instances. the
greatest expense in candy produc.
ton is skilled labor. The manufac.
l%turer's profit exceeds that of thu
total cost of sugar; the jobber'!
profit exceeds that Of the cost of thu
sugar; the retailers profit vastl!
exceeds the price of the sugar. Ever
the freight exceeds the cost of tn
sugar. Indeed, sugar is a small ele
ment in the production of all th'
better grades OF candy.
So come to htink of 1t, the slogan

Come Away to the Woods.

Come away to the woods. to the
green of the trees,
To the warmth of the sun and the
kiss of the breeze;
Come away to the stream that is
singing its song
AS its codlze to the river it ripples
along;
To the wide heart of Nature3 u M2n.
come away
To the court of wild flowers where
dancing elves stray
Where life is its sweetest, and loves
at its best; +
Come away. come away to the
bowers Of rest!
Come away from the city, its pain
and its toll,
It's mart and exchanges, its strife
and turmoil,
Come away from the burden, away
from the care,
Come away from the town and the
sleeplessness there!
Come away from the ghost Of your
haunting regrets,
The worries and struggles, the fur
ries and frets,
And ramble with me where the vio-
lets peep
And naiad loves trysts with their
hating SWANS keep!
o the city is brick and the city is
cold,
And the soul Of the city is hardened
and old!
But the woods. they are ever revert
ing to youth
And standing for virtue, and singing
Of truth!
The caress of the green, it is warm,
it is good
And there's strength in the sod and
the smell of the wood.
Come away, We who languish. Come,
lift up your head.
For Spring is newborn and the Win
ter is dead!

r AIR GROUND HAS
 BEEN SELECTED

Early in the week the committee selected from the members of the Comm rcial club. in conjunction with the members of the executive board made an inspection of the various plots of ground considered suitable for park purposes. the result of their labors being the selection of plot of ground 55 acres in extent situated to the southwest of the townsite and owned by the city. At meeting of the board held on Thursday the selection of the com mittoc was ratified.
 The ground is considered by all of those who have viewed it to be entirely suitable for the purpose for which il is intended. Ii is prob ably the highest piece of land on the island on which stands Fair banks. and it is within easy reach. all things considered from all parts of the city. There is not a very great deal of work necessary to be done before it can be placed in shape for the playing of baseball games and il is hoped and expected that enough townspeople will turn out next Saturday al a clearing bee to do all the preliminary work in one day.
 The tentative plans of the commit tee embrace the making of race track. one-half mile in circumference. and a good baseball diamond, with the necessary grandstand. As soon as funds permit the nucleus of a permanent main fair building will be erected with what barns will be considered necessary for the housing of live stock for the fair. Admis- sion will be charged to the baseball games and to all events pulled off at the park and from the proceeds the park will be improved and other buildings erected
 The city council at the meeting on Friday night took the necessary steps for the setting aside of the grounds for park purposes and Henry T. Ray. the townsite trustee. will submit the proposal to the interior department

JUDGE LYONS PRESENTED
 A SILVER SERVICE

Judge Thomas R. Lyons of the |. s. district court was a few days ago the recipient of beautiful silver water service. the gift tendered him by the members of the regular petit jury in appreciation of the many ceurtesies extended them by the court during the present session. says the Juneau Dispatch.
 The present is of heavy silver plate and consists of a beautiful Wa ter pitcher, mug and tray. It is very likely that the earthenware pitcher and glass now in service on Judge Lyons bench will be relegated to the judges private chambers and the new service substituted.
 One of the jurors made fitting presentation speech when Judge Ly- ons was handed the bulky package Saturday. After the paper and '"4lIN Httd DCtII tdI tluilN ltlhONtu and the bright silver presented itself to his view. Judge Lyons warmly thanked his admirers for the token of their esteem and high regard.
 We wanted to show Judge Lyons that we deeply appreciated his ccurt favOrs," said one of the jurors 10 the Dispatch this morning, by way of explanation. Why. some judges would let jurors sit in court all day while motions were being argued Judge Lyons invariably excused us until the following morning when no cases were up for trial, or when We had failed to qualify in a case being tried, and I'll tell you that when you sit on juries for a term of nearly three months at one stretch you could appreciate these favors."
 In addition to the petit jurors. Judge Lyons has scores of other stanch admirers in Alaska who have not been slow to recognize his abil- ity and inclination to deal justly in all matters judicial coming before his court for adjustment

BRIDGE FOR THE NIzINA

VALDEZ, April Tt is probable that the work mapped out by the road commission for the coming season will be carried out
 Colonel Richardson cabled to Lieu tenant Weeks this past week that the senate committee had included the $125,000 asked for in the army bill
 The appropriation has excellent chances of passing.
 The larger portion of the work this summer will be done on the ValdezFairbanks trail and the Chit ina-Willow creek cutoff. Several bridges will be constructed, one over Gum creek beyond Parsons road house and another across Stewart creek near Beaver Dam.
 The much needed bridge across the Nizina river will probably be constructed this summer. There has been demand for this improve ment for many years and owing to the extensive mining operations go- ing on in that section the bridge is greatly needed
