FAIRBANKS Is AFTER
 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

There are number of reasons why the Democratic territorial convention should be held in Fairbanks this year. The chief reason. in the opinion of the Times. is that the coast towns are not to be relied upon for satisfactory results. Both of the old parties have tried them. and always with the same result. With the Republicans, 1t was q case of too much boss rule. and with the Democrats, lack of harmony has interfered seriously with the proceed ings.
 It is time Fairbanksans were given an opportunity toi conduct really sue cessful convention "a convention which will be a credit both to the town and to the party which holds it. The Fourth division Is power in Territorial politics, having a vote nearly twice as great as that of any other division. and it is time we re- ceived recognition.
 We trust that the Panama Valley Democratic club will insist upon hold ing the convention here. and In its effort to secure the gathering of dele gates the local organization should have the support of every camp in Interior Alaska.-Fairbanks Times.

A BETTER REMEDY
 THAN NASTY SALTS

Few people like to take physic, es- pecially salts. because they are so dis agreeable to take and because of the gripping and pains they cause. Rexall Orderlics enable you to take less phys ic. and all without gripping. purging or excessive looseness. Salts and harsh physics usually give only temporary re- lief and often leave the bowels worse off than before.
 Rexall orderlies move the bowels promptly. and soothe, tone and strengthen the intestinal muscles, leaving them healthy and regular in action. They taste like candy, and the movement they cause is as easy and natural as though your bowels were in perfect health and you never had to take any physic at all. We have so much faith in Rexall Orderlies that we urge you to try them with the under standing that, if they do not satisfy you in every way. Ill you have to do to get your money back is to tell us. We honestly believe them to be the best bowel remedy made. In vest pocket tin boxes; 1Oc. 25c, soc.
 You can buy Rexall Orderlies only at The Rexall Stores, and in this town only of us.-Wm. Britt. Druggist, Ju- neau and Skagway.

FAULKNER ASKS FOR
 CANNERY PROTECTION

United States Marshal H. l.. Faulk- ner has asked the Department of Justice to provide police protection to the 47 canneries of Southeastern Alas lxa. and those living in their vicinity, and other outlying points. He has called attention to the fact that many crimes, including a half-dozen or so homicides, have taken place within the last few years among the mixed populations of the various outlying can neries, and strongly urges that Q gas oline boat, with Q deputy marshal and a court commissioner be provided to maintain patrol service among them.
 In writing, Marshal Faulkner calls attention to homicides that have taken place at Dundas Bay. Rose Inlet, Hunt CTS Bay, Quadra and Chatham, all within the last two years.
 He says, further, "the illicit sale of intoxicants to the Indians employed at the canneries, is carried on by oth- CT employees without restriction; and this is accompanied by the usual eff fects of drunkenness and debauchery."
 In support of his request, Marshal Faulkner says that under the law and regulations he has no authority to in. cur any expense in the prevention of crime or in the maintenance of peace.
 Inclosed with the request addressed to the Attorney-General was list of the 47 canneries, in several of which 200 people are employed and the crews of all of which are made of a great many different nationalities, such as Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Fiipinos, Portuguese, Koreans and Ha- waiians, most of them brought from the slnms of San Francisco, Portland and Seattle"
 He says many crimes are commit ted every season; but owing to the pc culiar conditions, thei mixture of the lowest classes of so many different na. tions, and the distance of the canner. les from the nearest peace officers, justice is seldom administered"
