MERCHANTS ORGANIZE
 AGAINST EEADBEATS

c. S. Lindsay, head of the Alaska Merchants Protective Association, has returned from visit to a number of the cities in Southeastern Alaska, which included Douglas, Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchikan. Mir, Lind- say brought in thirty-three new mem- bers for the association, and found up. on his return large list of inQuir- ies from various parts of the district asking for information regarding the workings of the association.
 A credit association is just about what it's name suggests, It is an as- sociation of merchants whose object is to extend credit to deserving pur- chasers and at the same time put a stop to the operations of deadbeats. It has collection bureau that will han dle collections and keep a check on careless people who are prone to buy beyond their ability to pay. In that ca pacity it is benefit to the general public, for when the merchant is freed from losses by poor collections he will be able to sell at a closer margin. The Alaska association will cooperate with the credit associations of the Pacific Coast States and thus interchange re- ports on the general disposition of peo. pie to pay their debts, and thus keep tabs on the bill beater both at home and abroad.

MAYOR RICK IS
 FOR FIRE FIGHTER

"Yes, I think we'll get that combin. atlon hose and chemical auto truck, that the fire department is set on hay. ing" said Mayor Beck today. 'T'm for 1t and think the council will be of the same mind when the matter comes up for consideration tonight at least hope so,"
 The fire lads at their last meeting voted to donate the $SS0 due the mem. bers from tho city for work at fires during the past several months was voted into a fund to be used for this specific purpose Mayor Reck's plan is for the city to vote a like amount from the general fund of the city which added to an equal amount which former Mayor c. w. Carter has undertaken to raise by subscription among the business houses will make enough to get suitable fre-fghting machine.
 Chief Milton Vim, Mayor Beck, former Mayor Carter, members of the present city council ana of the pre- ceding council together with business men generally have been trying to work out a plan for getting the desir- cd truck for some months and as the fire lads themselves have set pret. ty fast pace toward the object desir- ed.

INDIAN POLITICIANS DUST
 WHITE OFFICE HOLDERS

PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 4.-The great question of whether the American In. dian will ever take his place in poli- tics and become an active factor in local and state government is being answered satisfactorily in several parts of South Dakota. The poor, whiskey.sotted Rain.in.The.Face of earlier days is rapidly changing into keen and crafty politician. Reports received in the past week from Ben. nett and Mellette counties indicate that the craftiness of the Indian has been pitted successfully against all of the whites and a score or more of important county offices are now held by Indians. These office holders are Indians of intelligence and education. As further indication of the trend of the times, the secretary of state re. gently chartered the Indian Political Association" of White River, Mellette County to conduct political affairs in that region on solid basis. The or gani2ation is incorporated by Isaac Bear Looks Behind, Edward Cast away In The Forest, Benjamin Hun. gry, James Bear Thunder and Henry Swift Eagle.

WHITE SLAVERY A MYTH
 CLAIMS GERMAN OFFICIAL

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-There Is no such thing as white slavery. in the sense .n which the term Is usually enpolyed according 10 Dr. Kopp of the 8eriu Police Department. who appeared as an ,Spert witness in the prosecution O. Samuel Lubelski, charged with de. coyins girls over the Russian border and sending them to resorts in south America and other cities. Dr. Kopp says:
 There is widely held impression by the public that innocent girls, by force or trickery. are placed in houses Of III repute and held there against their will. As a matter of fact, a case of that nature has never occurred. Even the various associations organ ized to prevent white slavery have up to this time never been able to point to a single case of this kind"
 Dr. Kopp declares that the testi- mony against Lubelski must be weighed in the light of the general public's erroneous conceptions, which had unquestionably influenced the wit. nesses against the defendant. There were indeed. agents who secured mod est commissions by placing women of m-repute in resorts. but this was the sole foundation for the delusion con- corning the exitence Of a white slave trade.
 Nearly a year ago another promi- nent criminal authority of Germany declared that not one case of forcible detention of an unwilling girl in a brothel had ever been established in Germany There was a chorus of pro- test at the statement, led by the or ganizations engaged in fighting the alleged evil. The expert answered by inviting them to submit proof of a case of the kind. They have not yet done so.

ENORMOUS INCREASE OF
 PUBLIC OWNED UTILITIES

WASHINGTON Aug. Statistics showing the number of municipality owned utilities of various kinds in the United States, with supplemental data as to Canada and England, were glv- en out by the commissioners of the District of Colombia recently incident. al to the appearance before the house committee at a hearing on the bill providing for the municipal ownership of street railways in the district, ac- cording to the Washington Post which gives the following information:
 "Publicly-owned electric lighting plants numbered 1,562 in 1912, accord. ing to the figures, and privately-own- ed plants numbered S,659. In the ten. year period from 1902 to 1912 the pub licly.owned plants had increased near. ly 92 per cent, while the privately owned plants had increased only a little over 30 per cent. In the five year period from 1907 to 1912 the fig ures show that 1O6 lighting plants were changed from private to muni. cipal ownership, while so were chang ed from municipal to private owner ship. The balance sheet of the 1862 publicly-owned plants shows net surplus of S17,69S,222.
 Gas companies were owned by municipalities to the number of 119 in 1909 according to the figures given out. It Is estimated that there has been an increase of about 100 public. ly-owned gas plants in the last twelve years.
 "The statistics as to publicly.owned electric street railway systems relate to Canadian and English cities. In Canada, Calgary, Edmonton, Port Ar thur and Woodstock are mentioned. In Great Britain the number of cities owning street railways is given at 142. The figures for the other publicly. owned utilities in Great Britain are: Waterworks. 1,O45; gas plants, 256; electric plants, 334."

AND SHEEP
 BRING BIG PRIZES

OMAHA, Aug, 1.--Liyestock market reports the other day gave the sale os 75O Idaho lambs, shipped from Bell evue by Laidlow & Baptie of Idaho, and sold at South Omaha at price that nets the owners at Bellevue $5,4S a head. This is said to be the highest net price ever received for Idaho lambs.
 The promise is rosy that 1914 will be banner year for the woolgrower. Wool has brought good price and there has been an enormous percent age of lambs this year. On one lamblng ground over 10000 lambs were obtained from 5000 ewes.
 Continuing on the sheep industry the San Francisco Star says:
 The democratic tariff was going to put all sheepmen out of business, wasn't 1t? It was going to bankrupt them. and clog the almshouses with their families. and for many years the standRat papers have been drlzzllng hot tears over the prospective ruin of the sheepmen, But the predictions have gone to protest. and H. slnheim- CT of S. Koshland & Co, who knows something about sheep. mutton and wool, says:
 I cannot see that the admission of wool free of duty has had any in. fuence on the prosperity of the wool growers of California. The advance dn the price of wool is due to the general law of supply and demand all over the world. London is the cri. terlon of prices the world over When sheep are at high prices as they are now, 1t ought to pay to raise them, considering the return from wool.
