TOO MUCH FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Just why the people of Valdez main tains fire department for S4,O0O a year, while the people of Fairbanks pay approximately five times that much and are required to pay in ad- dition, slightly more insurance rates than are charged in Valdez, is prob lem that is worth looking into. The present insurance rates in Fairbanks were established in 1908, and the fire department has been improved since that time, though the rates have not been decreased.
 It really seems that the Fairanks fire department is top-heavy, or, in other words, that it is too big for the city, especially for the city's pocket book If the insurance companies will permit Valdez to keep volunteer fire department without increasing the in- surance rates, certainly Fairbanks should be allowed to do the same thing.
 AS long as all incomes are used up in paying running expenses Fair banks cannot expect to get its streets improved or to have any money avail able for such other improvements as may be found necessary during the growing period of the city.
 The only way to remedy this con dition will be to determine which of the candidates for city council will pledge themselves to reorganize the fire department so that it will be in accordance with the city's purse. This is the only town in Alaska that spends SO much on fire protection and still it gets no special benefits.
 It is true that Fairbanks has been quite free from destructive fires, of late, but it is also true that the same can be said of Valdez, where the vol, unteer department is declared to do effective work. Several dangerous fires have been started in Valdez, it is asserted, and these have been very promptly checked by the volunteer de- partment.
 Nobody wants to impair the eff ciency of the department, but neither do they want to pay out four or five times as much for fire protection than is necessary.
 There should be enough public spirited people in Fairbanks to take up this important question and set tie it before the coming election, with a view of crutailing unnecessary ex- penses. It is up to the people them selves to protect themselves in this matter. Will they do t?-Fairbanks Citizen.

Last nights match in the Arcade
Lea que probably decided the cham
pionship, the Gandils' victory over the
y. NJ. c. A giving them a lead which
will be extremely difficult for the as
sociation quint to overcome. Previous
to last night the Gandils were out in
front, and they took two out of the
three contests played then. This pretty
nearly means that the leaders have
won the Arcade League pennant. or
course, there is yet a chance for the
.'Y' five to come through. but the
positions at present seem decidedly un-
favorable to such an outcome.
The first contest of last nights match
ended with the Gandils having a score
of 561 and the Y. NJ. C. a. $40. TIE
Gandils fell down considerably in their
second game, losing, 48s to 532. They
did better work in the third, though,
