Tariff

An idea of the benefit which the con sumer will derive from the new tariff bill may be gleaued from the following. A perceptible reduction of the cost of living will not force itself upon the consumer, but with other legislation which this bill will lead to, it is bound to reduce the cost of living very ma terially.
 The principle necessities of the con- sumer, however, have been put on the free list, aud exempt from any further taxation. These articles are cattle, meat, flour, buckwheat, potatoes, fish, shrimps, Holsters, lumber, raw wool tea, he, bs for drugs, sole leather, all manufacturers of leather, including boots and shoes, harness and saddles, rough fur, pig iron, typewriters, cement, cocoa, books, cheap engraviugs and cheap pictures, cash registers, nails, print paper, moving picture films, tan. ming materials, barbed wire and all agricultural implements.
 Sugar will be on the free list in three years. It pays the present tariff until next March and then it begins paying a cent pound until 1916, when it be- comes free of duty. Other articles will have tho tax reduced on them nearly one half. At present they are taxed on the basis of 20 to 5O ger cent of their valuation at the customs house. Tn present bil reducce this Co 26 per cent
 For benefit of mother and the home the duty on hosiery has been reduced to % per cent; blankets should be somewhat cheaper. They were not put on the free list, but the duty has been materially reduced on them. From the consumers point of view this means more importations from France, Aus tria, Germany and England of the higher grade cotton materials used in making children's clothes.

John Bustgard, Uuited States district attorney at Juneau, has recently re- turned from Washington, D. c. While in the capital he conferred with the of- hcials of the interior department iu regard to the issuarce of patents to lease holders of canuery properties in Southeastern Alaska. To a P. l. re
 porter, Mir. Rustgard said: "These canueIy properties are situated within the forest reserve, and tbe trade and manufacturers act, allowing the use of governmental lands for the use of trade aud manufacturing purposes does not apply, with the result that caunery men have been unable to gain title 10 any of these lauds They have simply been unable to raise capital in the east on tbis account. and the growth of our section has heen greatly retarded. have hope, as a result of my conference with the interior department, that the matter will be brought to the attention of congress, and that they will see, as the interior department does, that an injustice has been done the canuery men. ] look for action bciug taken when congress meets in December"

There has been much interest in Sc

 ney into Siberia. When Gov. Sulzer was out here two years ago he told a story of an encounter with one of the huge brown bears of Chichagof island. Alaskan bears vary considerably in ap- pearance and character with locality. On Chichagof island these creatures are particularly large and vicious The one Sulzer encountered, according to his impression, was perhaps the largest and fercest bear on the entire island. Anyway, the Indians rau as soon as the
