MINNESOTA BREWERY SLUMP
Falling on Attributed to Closing Of
Saloons by Various Methods.


st. Paul. Minn.-The brewery bust
ness In Minnesota Is I'm the dumps. and
from the malt standpoint the situation
Is getting worse all the time.
During the past few months tifty-hve
counties In this state have held local
option elections. and forty-four OF them
voted dry.
Then the closing OF the saloons under
the Chippewa treaty Of 1865 has added
to the misery N the rumsellers and has
been a corresponding relief TO the PEG
pie.
The brewery mt Bemidji II closed on
account OF the Indian treaty law. and
the breweries at East Grand Forks.
Crookston and Fergus Falls are keep
ing open merely to dispose OF their
stocks on account OF county option.
The business OF the breweries Mt Brain
erd, Alexandria and Long Prairie Is d.
minishlng.
The breweries In the Twin Cities are
selling the normal quantities.
Receipts for August In the Office OF
the collector OF Internal revenue In the
state were i5.95I.9I. an Increase OF
Sl33.774.14 over the receipts In August
1914. but the bulk OF the Increase Is &C
counted for by the war tax and the
new special taxes effective since Au-
gust. 1914.
The gross receipts In August from the
beer tax were S22i 600 against Sl73.OO0
In August last year. The rate OF taxa
tion. however. has been raised from 81
to $l.J0 barrel
The consumption of beer last month
was l47.330 barrels against $4,000 bar
rels In August. 1914.

INTEREST IN ALASKA

Grafton There.

tfGGhL TO rht TntGoHAb9
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-1n his
forthcoming annual report Secretary
Lane says that the government
should continue its sympathetic CO.
operation in the development Of Alas
ka. He urges that the confusion in
administrative action in Alaskan af-
fairs should be abolished. at would
Dc too hazardous thing to surren-
der these resources to local control
or disposal for those who have lived
in any new country know how great
the temptation is to grant away wa
ter front and power sites. forests, and
other exceptional resources to those
who come offering large sums for
quick Improvement. Yet this should
not drive us into policy that makes
slow administration a necessity.
The confusion in administrative
action In Alaska is well known. I
have tried to give 1t currency that It
might hasten the establishment of
some method of co-ordlnated control
OF Alaskan affairs, primarily in the
hands OF resident commission, but
always In touch with and responsive
to the wish OF Congress and the
president through one of the depart
ments. That land has mysterious
charm, pull which affects all who
see 1t and those. too, who know in
directly OF Its largeness, its grandeur
and Its economic possibilities. This
could not be better illustrated than
by the number of applications for
places which were received by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission.
When that body left for Alaska in
the spring the number was over as
600 and most of those who applied
were not out Of work but already
held positions with railroads, in
banks. on farms, or in some city shop.
They wished taste of the large life
of this new land. There are many
more of the same desire, some OF
whom will make Alaska richer by
their presence and find happiness in
searching out the land" m
