 The passing of A. c. Brown, through accidental killing by his son, ends the career of one of the few oldtimers of Alaska. Brown was born at Wrangell, Alaska, some hfly-two years ago, and resided in the land of his nativity until bis tragic death two weeks ago. In his early manhood days, he was an agent or factor for the Alaska Commercial Company, a rich concern which held dominion in the Northland for a long period succeeding the American occu-. patton. While in charge of station at Istalick, he heroically rescued the crew of the s. s. c. G. White, which was wrecked off Kodiak in the fall of 1888 and received therefor special reward from the U. S. government. This is said to have been the most daring res cue in the history of the Northland.- Cook Inlet Pioneer.
 This has been a good season for the wbalers at Akutan. The total catch by the steamers Kodiak and Unimak for the season includes PIT whales, which yielded 5000 barrels of oil, says Sew ard paper. c. E. Stead, stationary en- gineer, and six employees of the station arrived on the Santa Ana en route to Seattle. They have a rather uncompli. mentary story to tell about sanitary and the treatment of em- ployes at Akutan and declare that owing to the fact that two congressman are among the stockholders in the com- pany, one revenue cutter has acted in the roll of tender to the station. Prob. ably the most unusual statement made by Stead is that the skipper of the whaling steamer Kodiak told his men that K. B. Kirkland, an ex preacher, who manages the company, issued an order against swearing, and that any man overheard swearing would be placed under arrest on the next trip of the whaler to Kodiak. Stead says that he was discharged by the manager but that the others quit. It seems, accord. ing to the men, impossible to handle whales without swearing.

Double Service.
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Guaranteed 1000 Miles Service
Absolutely Punctureproof,

Double Service Tires are double the
thickness of the best standard make tires.
This 100 per cent. greater wearing sur
face naturally gives that much more mile
age and service. The average of IL
plies of tough fabric and one inch surface
tread rubber makes these tires absolutely
puncture proof.
These tires excel all others for use in
the country over rough and rugged roads
as well as on hard pavements. They are
as easy riding and resilient as any other
pneumatic tre-the air space and press
ure being the same.
They are the most economical and
care free" tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on and
tire troubles cannot be tolerated. MANY
Double Service style tires ere in use in
the United States government and Eu-
ropean War service.
Our output is limited to a certain
amount, but for short time we offer the
following reduced special prices as an

THE PUBLIC FORUM
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

The morning papers that give us such
news as the timid editors think pru-
ment inform us that 300 men were
taken from their sleeping places the
other night by the police and trans
ferred to the police stations. This
item was what old-time printers
called stickful and carried but few
particulars, but as far as we know
these men were perfectly good men
and were sleeping along the river
front upon the docks because they
had no other place to sleep.
Until informed by the tinid edi-
tors to the contrary we are safe in
assuming that the 800 were perfect
ly good men. If they had been dam
aged in any way they would have
said so. That is, we may conclude
that the men were average men with
fair mental and physical powers, who
knew enough to prefer river dock to
police station as sleeping place.
We may also presume these poten-
tally useful men to be among the
unemployed - the down-and-outs,

the city, the state and the nation. We
are also justified in the conclusion
that opportunity is lacking among
us for these men and that with the
little instinct of freedom left them
they preferred the docks to the slav-

A CURE FOR coRNs.- an
swer to why Is Corn?" l wish to
say that corns, more or less, are due
to cheap shoes and to the coarse,
rough-edge finish inside. Another
factor is a shoe too large. Always
wear a better quality, perfect fitting
shoe. 1t is the cheapest in the end
and it will never produce a corn.
Never wear patent leather, for your
feet do not have the proper ventila-
ton while they produce corns on
foul-smelling feet.
Corns are similar to. warts in their
structure except that they have
much thicker layer of epidermis over
the surface.
They can usually be prevented
from giving much trouble by careful
trimming out of the center of the
corn at intervals In cutting the corn

human being has no right to be on
earth in a civilized community until
he or she has made a bargain with
some earth-owner whereby a large
proportion of his or her earnings
shall go to pay for the mere priVi-
lege of living.
We will discover that this tribute is
constantly increasing as material
progress goes on, and that in conse-
quence of this increasing toll oppor-
tunities become so scarce that hun
dreds of thousands are reduced to the
condition of the 800 sleepers.
There is no refuge for these disin-
herited except in the degradation Of
charity, of the Jail, the poorhouse or
the last alternative of suicide. And
why? Not because there is any lack
of room upon the earth; not because
there is lack of need for work in car
rying on our civilization, but because
the earth and its resources and all the
social advantage are made by law the
property of the few and the great
body of mankind thus disinherited of
it's right to live upon the earth.
