Thus spoke Edward l.. Gilbert,
recently elected TO the office OF
county commissioner. Mr. Gilbert
knows of instances where the COM

used to advantase in numerous
cities and he thinks Cairo would
prosper If the same was adopted

When asked If he favored the

SUCCOUR THE NEEDY.

Another report of an old prospee- ter in want comes to town Andrew Jackson Maiden, located hundred miles from town. who has the repu- tation of having sunk more holes to bedrock than any other man now living in Alaska today, is dying slow. ly but surely of paralysis. all one side of his body being paralyzed at the present time, yet nothing has been done for his relief. A disgrace to the city. the district and the ter ritory.
 For years the department of jus tice through it's local representative, the marshal, refused to aid any of the sick or injured without first getting specific instructions from Washington. The last congress, on account of the numerous complaints and hardships that had been wrought changed this law. making 1t possible for the marshal to ex- pend any necessary money for the relief of indigents. Yet, here, four months after the passage of the law, Is a man dying, actually dying for want of medical attention, and were

FOURTH OF JULY.


 The coming week we celebrate the Fourth of July, the birthday of the United States. Fairbanks has for number of years celebrated it in sane. sober and fitting manner do ing honor to the country and to it. self.
 The Fourth of July has. by a pc euliar thread ot circumstances. been the day on which more notable events have happened than on any day of the other three hundred and sixty-five days of the year. It is the celebration of the signing cf the Declaration of Independenc. it iS the commemoration of the death of three of our most illustrous Presi- dents. two of whom. Adams and Jef. :erson. died on the same day, July I. 1926, It is celebrated as the date on which many of the territor, ies were given statehood; it has been the occasion for the christening of many battleships and for the laying of innumerable corner stones of public buildings, until there is hard ly village or town in the United States that has not had some nota- ble event happen on the Fourth of July. that remains long in the minds of inhabitants
 Many Outsiders and creek people will be in town fir the day to help and see how We conduct our. selves and celebrate the great day Let everybody, man. woman and child turn out and do their little part toward making the day such a one that nothing but praise can be said of our patriotism. and our hoSpitality

FIRST CANADIAN BOAT
 ARRIVES IN FAIRBANKS

The steamer Selkirk, the hfst Canadian bottom boat to reach the sub port of Fairbanks, arrived here Thursday night carrying large load of freight and barge load Of cattle. The Selkirk is one of the oldest White Pass boats and is a large and roomy craft, being as well appointed as the other bats of the same company.
 The greater part of the live stock aboard was consigned to Litsey & Miller. who unloaded il on the Gar den Island side of the slough.
 There were but very few pas sengers aboard, and all of them came straight through from White horse
 On Friday afternoon the beat started on it's return through trip with a few passengers and a small amount of freight and express.

il not for the kind ministrations of neighbors, would be in an actual state 0. starvation.
 What excuse can be offered up by the authorities for such gross neglect ,f duty and inhumau treat ment cannot he imagined. They have not now that old worn-out-rea- son--lack of jurisdiction-to fall back on.
 The Pioneers of Alaska will be called upon 10 send aid and relief 10 the man, if he is 10 get it at all. as they have been in the innum- erable cases of like nature be fore.
 The present regime of the mar shals office ends today. Tomorrow there will be new man on the job. We hope that one of the very first things he does will be to get this "indigent and needy" question s'raightened out so that the old timers, prospectors. trappers and trail blazers can get their just de, serts if. in their hard work of de veloping the country they are over taken by poverty. sickness. or acci j,nt

FOREST FIRES
 CONTINUE TO RAGE

Late arrivals in town from the Cinema Hot Springs district state that the dense smoke that sur rounded the city several days last week came from the forest fires that were raging in the vicinity of the Beam resort.
 The whole Springs district was afire and only by the most valiant work were the men able to save the outbuildings. The reports that reached town earlier in the week that number of the cabins were burned proved erroneous, as the men succeeded in turning the course of the blaze away from the direction If the houses.
 Many arrivals from over the trail state that all of the timberland is so dried out that thousands of acres of timber will be totally destroyed unless the situation is relieved by good downpour of rain Many
 bins belonging to prospectors and trappers are in danger, as are also the inhabitants.

GREENS LEFT
 FUR OUTSIDE

MT. and Mrs Harold c. Green de parted for the Outside yesterday on the steamer Yukon, amid the sin cere regrets of the many friends that both have made during their residence in Fairbanks.
 Mir. Green has for two years been deputy clerk of court in Fairbanks was an ardent A. B. worker, and organizer of the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden North. MT Green has been one of the moving spirits in the numerous civic under. takings that have been carried out with success. especially the Festival of the Midnight Sun
 Mrs. Green. who was formerly Mrs Ermal Lea White, came to town about year ago. and was united in matrimony to Mr Green last April.
 The couple will travel through the States for a few months before To. eating anywhere permanently.

Mir. Crossley was Miss Hyde, his secretary, who will lso be present for the opening of court at Iditarod.
 Mir. Crossley did not intend to get away on the Panama. as he was in formed that close connections could not be made. In fact he did not decide to go Thursday until after the boat had pulled out. He and the Navigation company were noti- fled while the steamer was still in the slough that good connections could be made. The Panama was therefore held up at Cinema for sev- eral hours and three passengers left in launch to catch her there.
 MT. Crossley and Miss Hyde will be back in Fairbanks about the middle of August ready for the ses sion of the opening of court mon Judge Fullers return.

YUKON ARRIVED HERE
 SATURDAY MORNING

The steamer Yukon, on her maiden trip, arrived in Fairbanks at an early hour Saturday morning car rying large number of passengers and big shipments of freight both for Cinema and this city. Among the passengers were the Juvenile Hostonians, who came from Cinema by train upon the boats arrival there Friday morning, as they were to open their engagement at the Auditorium that evening.
 Among the local people coming were Mrs. Mary Andersen and daughter. Miss Gudrun. Mrs An dersen went Outside last fall and went to New York and Paris, where she combined business and pleasure by visiting her sister, Mrs. Charles Sargent. and by buying extensively for her store.

cENsoRING PICTURES.

Censorship Of motion-pieture films has gone on to a degree that is creditable 10 the zeal of the au- thorities but mething still needs to be done. Even local managers who have discretionary control over their films. and who carefully ex- clude the immoral and immoral. often fail to see that they lend themselves to undue concentration of the spectators tn ughts on crime or violence of one kind or another. Instances might he multiplied of the idea involved, namely, that for ends that are ethical and educational it Is far better to emphasize the con structive than the destructive. the normal than the abnormal. the abid- ing than the passing concerns of contemporary experience. Where managers realize this, they win a patronage that is constant that is quite prepared to pay any req sonable cost Of instruction and en- tertainmcnt. and that is likely to leave the theater in a mood to ad- yertsc the favors received.-Ex.

THAT MAIL


 Fortunate Fairbanks. We are re- c"iving onr October, November and December papers and periodicals from the Outside The government is put to great expense bringing them in at this late date and they are upon receipt consigned to the waste basket-too old to he Of any use
 We are getting the papers telling us in great detail about the prep. arations for the inauguration. and many other tlpics of similar char. acter that would have been inter, esting three to six months ago but which today are worthless.
 The postoffiee department spends great deal of good money on Alas ka mail service but that it is spent injndieiously is indeed plainly evi- dent
 For some months The Citizen has been advocating a Mail Booster campaign. one that would get to the heads of the department and the proper authorities Some time ago the Commercial Club took the matter up with the postmaster gen eral. at the same time notifying Delegate Wiekersham Of the action taken.
 There is now, however, a new administration. one that seems to have a desire of doing the right thing by and for Alaska. and We think that a renewed effort. not only on the part of the club, bat of the city council and the whole city in fact should be directed to- ward Washington
 Petitions seem t9 do pretty well with the new administration. as was demonstrated by those sent from the Chandlar and from Chatanika, where new offices were created at  the request of the people. As each new office is created in the Fair banks district, their mail comes through here and is charged up to the local office, so that when a howl reaches Washington they lCok up the records, which show that so many tons was given us. They do not think that of that amount about half or three-quarters is for somewhere else.
 Fairbanks has enriched Uncle Sam many millions of dollars, to say nothing of the millions that the ether parts have produced. and We are entitled to better treatment We are not going to get it, however until we make our wants known.
 Let's go about it like good pros pectors-if we can't get results m one place. let us dig another hole. The department has got the goods and will deliver them if We start right

 June 26, 1913. Editor Citizen:
 Dear Sir.-I beg to express through your columns a budget of opinions of the several industries of the camp the same being careful ly gathered from number of prominent citizens and through my own personal observations and ex- perience as a farmer and miner
 I find that the rich placer mines of the camp are nearly worked out, and many of them will no longer pay dividends at the present price of labor and supplies. A great many smaller outfits are working their ground at fair profit. There are thousands of acres of low grade ground that will doubtless be work ed for hundreds of years to come, but just now it all hinges on one point, and that point is Everything the operator utilizes must come down from it's high perch when come down. Labor can work for less wages and have just as much clear money. Where is there any other country that can stand $750 per day for common labor and $1O to $15 per day for skilled labor. and everything else in 
 Next comes quartz mining There are quite a few hammering away on their claims and most of them seem to be fairly we'll satisfied with results. It seems to be the general opinion of mining men that it takes several years to develop a quartz camp. We have noun tains on all sides of us-wholly un- rospected-which have the ear marks of producing as big mines as any in the world.
 The next permanent industry is farming, which has come to stay, and it will help to lessen the cost of living very materially. The
