FAVORS CURB MARKET SHE'D.
D. c. Dunbar Tells Why He Thinks
County Should Make Needed Struc-
ture.

~
Editor Daily Item:
While in your city a day or two ago
and talking with some gentlemen, I
find there is q sentiment rowin for
a shed large enough to accommodate
all, whether he be vender or GUS
toner, who visit the curb market. The
market is a great institution and
should have the sympathy and COOP
Grafton Of all Of the people in the
county.
We have been talking d~iversihcation
in farming for a long time, but we
can not make it a success, If the
farmer has not a place to dispose of
MS diversified crops. The Chamber of
commerce, yourself and others who
TOOK interest enough in the curb mar
ket to set it in motion, even as an
experiment, which stage it has pass
ed, proving to be a success, deserve
the compliments Of the people at large.
and l hope you all will not let up until
there is a nice shed built where the
farmer will have a clean, COW please
to carry his meats and vegetables.
protected from flies and other annoy
ances, and the customer, accommodate
tons and conveniences that will make
it an attractive and pleasant place to
visit. 1t will cost some money to have
1t, but not much, and py all means it
seems to me it should be erected.
Summer time is coming and unless
there is a considerable difference in
the seasons compared with those of
the past, W. will have some hot SIM
shine, and while there are some nice
shade trees where the market is now
conducted, everybody who attends.
cannot share the advantages they Of
fer and of course there will be no pro-
lection from rain and possibly hail.
which we sometimes have in sum-
mer. If it can be legally done, the
county, 1T seems to me, should build
the shed as everybody pays county
and state taxes, n all, both country
n city people, would feel like this is
our market. We all have a mutual in
terest in it and all are welcome and
at home. Should the city go to the
expense, without any assistance. to
build it, she Of course would have to
rent it out which would be nothing
but right and / don't believe this plan
would give much recognition and en-
couragement to the enterprise
among the farmers who now are TAX
ing the advantages Of the opportuni-
ties it offers. l am satisfied thai our
county board is in full sympathy with
the enterprise and will d. ANYTHING

what they need.

A careful search is now being made for trace of the missing Christie and the others and several expert detect ives are said to have been dispatched to Southeastern Alaska for the pur- pose. It is generally supposed that the men, if they have been killed' have been buried at sea and the hope of finding the bodies is not very strong.

They de- clare that the stories of Villas lack of equipment and forces were invent ed by Villa himself for the purpose of entrapping General Obregon by giv- ing him a false idea as to what he would have to contend against. Villa is also said to have plenty of food and some of those returning declare that his army is better drilled and pre- pared than the army of Camanza. They also say he appears to still have strong hopes of ultimate victory.

In a letter received by the All Alaska Review on the last mail Former Governor Sulzer of New York promises to tell Alaskans through the Review what he believes will be the result of the national elections in 1916. Mir. Sulzer de- clares he is taking a greater interest in Alaska than ever and he urges that no delay be made in sending him every copy of the Review published.
 In the December issue particular care wil be taken to cover exhaust ively all the happenings of the terri tory so that Alaskans who are out side for the winter may keep in touch with all their camps.
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has found it necessary to subscribe for an additional copy of the Review each month owing to the fact that the copies the chamber has been re- ceiving got worn by use too soon.
 The publishers of the Review have answered Secretary Franklin k' Lanes nice letter by telling him that the sentiments expressed in the Re view with respect to himself are those of all Alaska, and that the territory is behind him to a man.
 The Review is quickly fulfilling it's ambition of being the great medium for information about Alaska, especl- ally outside, and this is proven by the Setters received in every mail from the most prominent people in the United States. The December issue will come in less than three weeks.

LARGER SUBMARINES
 FOR THE U. s. NAVY

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A. - Secre-
 tary Daniels has decided to recom-
 mend the construction of larger sub
 marines to replace the present type The decision was arrived at after the naval maneuvres which showed clear ly that this arm of the service would probably prove inadequate to the de- mands in a great naval war. Daniels particularly desires to have the sub marines large and powerful enough to be useful for the open ocean far away from the home ports. He has minated before that the United States can best defend itself from ocean attacks by having it's coasts lln- ed with powerful submarines for use against hostile warships of large size.

The Berne communication declares that the kaiser himself has expressed the intention of offering terms of peace but probably that the kaiser has stated that after his entry into Constantnope at some future date he will make the offer
