AN IMPOSSIBLE THING

The really good newspaper pro
notes the interest of the town in
which it is published to such an ex-
tent that it really becomes impossible
to place an estimate upon its worth,
says the Sparks Tribune. There is no
enterprise that does SO much for the
corporation or the Individual citizen
as the paper. 1t is the friend OF ev-
erything that stands for the upbuild-
ing of the community. The paper has
not vet come into its own, however,
because it is never appreciated to the
extent of its worth by the people al
large. Yet when battles are to be
fought for town or county rush Is
made to the newspaper otflce always
to find the loyal editor ready, frequnt
ly without hope or reward.
Many other enterprises are encour-
aged by bonus, but rarely is the paper
offered any such help. Communities
not infrequently lose sight of their
real benefactor when they fail to rec
ognize the paper in their midst a.
such The minister and the editor &c
hand in hand as the bulwark of de
Tense against the attacks OF evil de
signing schemes affecting the individ-
ual of the town.
For these and other good reasons
the newspapers OF the town and
county should receive the support OF
the pubic at large in very liberal de
gree for it is really the most import
ant business enterprise in the com
munity The editor is business man
and not a mendicant, and should be
recognized as the most important fac
tor in the community, for poor indeed
is the town or corporation that has
not at least one of these necessary
persons in it.

Some of our Democratic contem-
poraries who, before election. declared
the gambling issue dead in this State,
are becoming little alarmed now for
fear the incoming Legislature will re-
vive gambling We believe that is
what the gambling element will try to
do, and we hope that the law will be
so amended that it will either license
open gambling or Prohibit Gambling
Altogether. The law as it now stands
is farce. Gambling O. is carried on
in every county in the State and in
some places very openly. The State,
nor the counties, receive any revenue
for gambling privileges, nor is there
any protection from the bunko steer
ers who call themselves gamblers.

FAR FROM BEING A LOCAL
ISSUE

We have today through the Free
Trade Tariff all the evils predicted III
connection withe President Taft's
Canadian Reciprocity Pact, with not
even its few restrictive benefits. The
present Underwood tariff law has
worked both ways to injure the Amer
lean farmer and American workman
1t has increased what Canada sells
to the United States by S40,OOO,OO0
while, at the same time, Canada has
bought from the United States ST.,
100000 less, in this last year than the
year before This is not politics. it is
statistics. Nor is this result confined
to our trade with Canada. Our total
exports of agricultural implements for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913,
were $40,512,352, but for the year
ending June 80, 1914, (under the Free
Trade law, they were only $3l, 9oo,-
$50. At the same time we have de
creased our exports of animals by
DER 100000, and of breadstuffs over
$46,000,00O but we have increased our
imports of animals by nearly 200 per
cent, viz, in 1913, $9,5S5,7o1, and in
1914, $24712,11l, ard our imports OF
breadstuffs have also increased from
$16,S2l $40, in 1913, to $50, 540,65l.
1t will be noted that the two years
of comparison were wholly before the
war.
Think of these facts, farmers! You
have sold millions less of farm pro-
ducts abroad and we have actually
bought more than double the amount
of breadstuffs raised upon foreign
grain fields.
And the worst is yet to GOMEZ!
Yes, the question of markets is tru
" the biggest question in agriculture,
and it is far from being a local is
sue. "-Northweste Agriculturalist.

was the statement made last night
by Mr.. Anderson, who owns the Fair
banks Kid in partnership with Mr..
Larson,
eff there are only two boats In
the race" said Mr. Anderson last
night, something may go wrong
with one of them and the spectators
will be disappointed. A race to be
of interest should have three or four
boats, and If Roy Rutherford, Julius
Anderson and Adams of Tanana will
enter their boats We will enter our
hydroplane.
I'VE have taken the engine out
of our hydroplane and put it in a
bigger boat. 1t would not pay us to
re-install the engine unless there is
certain to be a race, and a race
would not be certain unless there
are more than two boats entered"

FORD MACHINES
INCREASING IN
LOCAL DEMAND
SAMSON HARDWARE COMPANY
WIRES RUSH ORDER FOR
MORE CARS

Automobiles, and especially the
! light machines, such as the Fords
are becoming more popular in Fair
banks this season than ever before
The record made by Bob Sheldon
between Chitina and Fairbanks with
Ford machine has done much to
strengthen the demand for those au
tomobiles in the last few days, and
yesterday the Samson Hardware Co
telegraphed an order for four addi-
tional Fords to be shipped here this
season.
Since the Samson Hardware com.
pany began to handle the Ford ma,
chimes, they have sold in this city
| II Fords and one five-ton truck
| Some time ago they sent an order
for seven cars, and these will be
| here soon. At the time the order
was sent for the seven automobiles
only one of them was sold, but five
others We're sold during the time
they have been in transit. Thus
of the new shipment that is com
ing, there will be but one for sale
wien they arrive.
1t is explained that while the
lightness of the Ford machine has
made it more in demand than other
car in Fairbanks. there is anothe,
reason why the demand for them Is
great, and that Is that any part
of the Ford machine can be replaced
in Fairbanks at a small cost If any
part of another machine breaks, the
owner must either wait for new
one to come from the Outside OF
must have one made to order at
much expense.
Before the Samson Hardware com
pany began to handle all the parts
of the Ford automobiles, Roy Ruth
erford broke his car. The broken
part was made for him here at a
cost of $42 The same part, shipped
here from the factory and now kept
in stock by the Samson Hardware
company, can be obtained from them
now for only $3.50,
A new two-ton truck, built by the
General Motors company of Pontiac,
Michigan, will soon be brought to
Fairbanks. 1t was ordered through
the Samson Hardware company bv
John Kane, of Gold Hill, who will
use it in his work of delivering wood
to operators on Ester creek. The
truck costs $1,000 F. o. B. at Pom
tiac. and will be shipped at once.

Why Do Mexicans
Call Us Gringoes

Since interest turned to Mexico
there has been much newspaper dis
cussion as to the origin OF the word
"Gringo," used by the Mexican IN
speaking of the foreigner, says the
Chicago Evening Post
The most frequently advanced
theory is that it was derived from
the first two words of the old song,
Green Grow the Rushes, o." that
is said to have been a popular vo-
cal exercise with American soldiers
in the Mexican war. Others have
attempted to see in it Mexican
adaptation of Yankee"-surely a
far-fetched idea.
But correspondent of the New
York Sun offers an explanation that
seems to us to dispose of all others
and to remove the question from the
realm of debate. He says "Gringo"
is Castillian Spanish, a variation of
the word "Greigo," meaning Greek.
1t is used in the literature of Spain
in reference to unknown tongues,
the speech for foreigners, as syno-
nym for that which is unintelligible
The writer quotes from Antonio
Flores and Breton de los Herreros
Spanish authors, in support of this
view. But the most convincing evi
dence is furnished by the dictionary
of the Royal Spanish Academy, where
the word is thus defined:
"Gringo, noun, masculine; Grigo
Cor Creek; in popular or familiar
phrase, 'hablar en- Gringo.' to talk
Greek, to speak in an unintelligible
language"
That ought to settle 1t. But how
did the word "Greaser" originate as
applied to Mexicans?

GROWING GRAIN
MAY Be MADE
A Bic SUCCESS
EXPERIMENT STATION WILL TRY
SOWING THE SEED IN
THE FALL.

by sowing the seed in the fall
just before the frost comes. the
raising of grain can be made sue
eessful here each year. according to
charge of the government experiment
station.
Mr. Neal has produced grain sue
cessfully each year. but last year
the crop suffered to some extent by
Il e early snow and frost Had the
seed been planted late in the fall,
Mr.. Neal says. he thinks 1t would
have been harvested before the snow
came.
What is known as winter wheat
has been tried at the station with
ont the best results. 1t seems that
often much of it is killed by the
winter frosts. 1t is possible. Mr..
Neal thinks, that a kind of hardy
wheat will be found which will
not winter-kill in Alaska.
However, he says, if the seed is
planted too late in the fall to start
growing until the next spring, he
is quite sure that much carrier
crop can be obtained than by spring
planting.
Il am going to SOW large field
of grain this fall as an experiment.,
said Mr.. Neal few days ago. "and
| am confident that it will succeed.
The difficulty with sowing the grain
in the spring Is that we have to
wait for the ground to get dry be-
fore we can work it, and all that time
the grain which is sowed in the fall
can be growing That gives it
big start over tie spring grain
Gould the government farm be
made a profitable thing if it were
not devoted to experiments? Mr..
Neal was asked.
why. it certainly could" replied
Mr.. Neal. This farm would make
a man wealthy if the present prices
would continue to prevail"

APPRECIATION OF LOCAL
THEATRE-GOERS.

The Royal Players close their en-
sasement tonight at the Auditorium

They have presented number of
good plays, and given an excellent
II. sentation of each.
Miss Edythe Elliott, the beautiful.
and talented leading woman. has won
warm place in the affection and
admiration of all theatre-goers. She
is extremely winsome. both on and
off the stage, and she carries away
loads of good wishes for great future
success.
Charles +. Royal. leading man
and director, has proved himself a
splendid, versatile actor, able second

undertaken.
Baby Edythe Royal proved her
self a veritable chip of the old
block" in her part played in "The
Fortune Hunter" delivering her
lines and having stage presence
to put to blush many seasoned
actor.
No better character actor has ev-
er been seen in this Northland than
Mr. Ted Rowland, nor a better eccen-

Arthur Clarke Elton. an old Fair
banks favorite, has done uniformly
excellent work during the entire en-
gagement, making himself more pop
ular than ever Miss Mary Fletcher,
ingenue, Miss Lottie Fletcher, char
acter woman, Shirley Mcdonnell,
juvenile leading man, Rollin Wake

delightful vehicle to show forth Miss
Elliott's ability, and the manage
ment claim that "The Wolf" the
closing bill in which the Royal Play
er will be seen tonight, is one of
the very best and strongest in their
repertoire.
The company leave on the steam
err late tonight or tomorrow. and
