PATRONIzE HOME STORES.

Success of home merchants is eS-

munity, and Fairbanks is no ex-
ception to the rule The home mer-
chants pay tie taxes and keep money
in local circulation, while the mali
order houses of the Outside have

to get every dollar possible from
the people here and to give as little
in return as trade competition will
permit

to him that the mere fact of the

Citizen has no influence on the ten

goods BY parcel post, though it may
direct some of the money that might
otherwise go to Chicago or New
York, to Seattle.
There are only certain people who
send away for things by mail, and
there are only certain kinds Of mer-

Thus there is certain percentage

tie to the local merchant, except
that he may prefer that it should
go to Seattle than to the more dis
tant cities of the Middle West and
the East.
Parcel post rates from the Outside
to Alaska are the maximum for
American points. and this is not max
ing the mail order business as
profitable as it is in some of the
thinly settled districts Of the States.
Since the parcel post system was
established, TIE merchants Of all
more or less. and thus the people Of
Fairbanks who send away for part
of their merchandise are doing no
more than people in almost all the
towns Of the size Of Fairbanks are
doing throughout the country. In
deed. it is probable that there is a
larger percentage of trade done at
home in Fairbanks than in almost
any other city of its size in the
country.
Experience is one OF the best teach.
ers. and thus the careful house
wife of Fairbanks is beginning to
realize that there are few things on
which a profit can be realized by or
dering by mail. owing to the uncer-
tainty of the mails, the high posta &c
rates to this place and the great
loss of time incurred.
On the other hand the merchant
who orders his goods in wholesale
quantities, gets them for reduced
prices, pays less transportation in
proportion than the individual ship
pers. and is in position to sell his
Goods at a profit for less than any
one can receive them here by mail.
or course, the lack of small change
in Fairbanks is responsible for high
pricees notions of some kinds. but
1t is safe to say that the average
Fairbanksan would prefer to pay the
HIGHER price for notions than to see
the country made cheap by the in
PRODUCTION of nickles and dimes.
Almost everybody in Fairbanks
has given TIE mail order business
trial and there are but few OF
the people here who have not awak'

not only to the advantage of the
city. and therefore to their own ad'
vantage to trade at home. but that

1T is Just possible that the doctors
who told Roosevelt that he must not

welfare than his physical improve

AMONG the things that can be
said to the credit of the present

is that they are too loyal to duty
to adjourn for a vacation until their
important work is accomplished
PRESIDENT WILSON has an

MUNICIPAL NEWS
Some Items of Interest From the
Public Offices About Occur.
rances of the Week.

The heating value standard for gas
which has been established by the
State Public Utilities Commission is
lower than that prescribed by a ma.
jority of similar boards in other
states, according to Montague Ferry,
commissioner Of public service.
The new Illinois standard is 565
British thermal units per cubic foot.
The city regulation is 600, but Mr.
Ferry pointed out that the require.
ment of twenty-five candle power in
practice brings the heating value up
to 6S5 units.
Either the utilities commission Is
handing the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company nice profit or the
rates ought to be reduced to some.
thing like so cents" said Mr.. Ferry.
The heating value required by other
utility commissions follows:
District Of Columbia. ....... 900
Missouri 900
Nevada ........... $50
New Hampshire ...........6 900
Pennsylvania ................57O
washington .................6 900
wisconsin ........... ..... 900
Even 5O.cent gas could be manufac.
tured probably, according to report
issued by B. NJ. Ferguson. city gas
inspector, under the direction Of Mr..
Ferry. This would involve transform.
ing the process employed by the local
company SO as to produce coke oven''
gas instead Of water" gas. The water
gas process Is held to be antiquated.
Chicago seems to be situated ia.
vorably to take advantage Of this
source Of cheap domestic gas" says

available to show that coke oven gas
can be produced at cost Of froIN 8
to 10 cents per 1000 feet"

Men Who Claim to Be Able to

Alderman Pretxei Leads Fight on the
Gang Said to Control Council
Lobby.

The activities of professional lob.
byists, who make their headquarters
in the city hall, we're ordered to be
investigated by the states attorney
by the city council.
Alderman Pretzel called the matter
to the councils attention. He said
his request for an investigation was
based on matter now before q sub
committee Of the city council com.
mittee on buildings.
Several weeks ago the subcommit.
tee began an investigation to ascer.
tain the facts in an attempt to ex.
tort $1,000 from manufacturer of
building material.
According to evidence obtained by
the subcommittee the $4,000 was to
be divided among officials Of the
building department for supporting
an amendment to the building code
which would permit the substitution
Of the manufacturer material for
lath and plaster in ordinary building
work.
Instead Of paying the money the
officials Of the Armstrong Manufac-
turing Company, to whom the propo-
sition was made, called It to the at.
tention Of the committee.
II was brought out that persons
having no standing with the alder.
men or city ofacials had made the
offer through other persons.
In asking that the states attorney
look into the matter Alderman Pref.
eel said there were certain persons
who made q practice Of swindling
firms by declaring they could AK"

should be made as protection to Ion.

IOWA BLUE SKY LAW ATTACKED.

KEOKUK, Ia, Apr. 15.-Iowa's Blue
Sky law, passed by the last general
assembly, to prevent the foreign bank,
land and mining promoters from TAX
ing money out of the state for wild cat
schemes, is being tested here today
in the federal court before Judges
Smoth, Mcpherson and Pollock.
The law demands that foreign COM
panies, before they can do business
in the state, must convince the secre-
tary of state that their scheme is leg
itimate and they may secure certifi-
cate. District Judge McHenry at Des
Moines, has declared the law uncon-
stitutional and the state has appealed
this case to the supreme court Enc
mics of the law have attacked it on
the same grounds in the federal court
which is the case being heard today.
