keenly felt at this time, as it is a necessary part of the community. It has beds for twenty patients and is thoroughly up to date and modern in every appliance. It's departure would cause endless inconvenience to our citizens, and perhaps needless loss of life in emergency cases. Our citizens should spare no efforts to keep every industry we have. If they slip away from us, one by, one, in short time the old town will be hard to revive. We need the hospital, let us work to keep it here.

At the time the Valdez Dock com pany's wharf was built, fourteen years ago, the steamships were land ing passengers and freight in the mud, from small boats, and with the then unalluring prospects of a city be- ing erected here, it took a lot of nerve as we'll as capital to put up a 200O-foot wharf. It is hard to believe that the people of the city were so unmindful of their interests that they would compel a company to build a dock under cover of darkness, to es- cape landing in the mud.

And our principal reason for join ing our voice to the chorus is to try to call attention to those innumerable blessings we have and never appreci- ate. We don't want to see this a cheap town; when papers get to sell ing on our streets for penny, as in Seattle, it will be time to move. And we'll concede to, before some one beats us to it, that it might be all they are worth.

According to his honor's argument he raised George c. Treats assess ment to $7,O00 on his property be- cause he was reported to be drawing a twenty per cent income from his rentals. Why then, MT. Mayor, ac- cording to your own argument, assess Judge Bunnell anything? He was burned out in July and is deriving no income from his property, and yet you placed the assessment at the same figure as when he had a good house upon it. Why the inconsistency?

If that Fairbanks law is good law, in that a person living near city and doing business with it should help contribute to it's support;>> why not apply it to the Senator's vast holdings on the edge of town? He gets his living from the city as well as we, and he is directly benefited by having his property next to the city as are we. Why not stretch that law over all of us, not just few?

We do not believe the old timers or, in fact, the newcomers, would care to make this nickel town. The one charm about Alaska is the high wages and the reckless expenditure of the coal of the realm by her peo- pie. Newspapers at 10 cents, moving picture shows at 25c, meals soc, and everything else in proportion keeps money in circulation and makes bet ter times. We even suspect his hon. or charges little more for his wares than they do in the States. And why shouldn't he? If we get to doing business on a jitney basis we'd soon have a jitney. town.

The first coal brought to Valdez was 1000 tons brought in a scow, by Jesse Martin, on a private specula- tion. It was sold at $1S.5O per ton, and went like hot cakes. MT.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1915
AN UNPOPULAR FIGHT.

After a careful perusal of his hon. or's semi-annual message, printed yes
 terday in the Prospector, we believe that the least said is tlre soonest l mended.
 . The mayor calls attention to the fact that he has spent ten years of his virile manhood; ten years of useful life, fighting the Dock company, and he is still hale and hearty in the elev- enth year of the great war against capital.
 We'll, we can't help but admire his persistence, but if we were on that job we would either change our law yer, or go down in the night and kick the durned thing into the bay. It looks to us that if the mayors
 fight had been popular, and the peo- pie and the law and the council had been with him that he could have put the company out of business in six months. But ten years-he's either got mighty poor case or else is un- derplaying his hand.
 No sir, had his honor's fight been righteous, he might have had Jesse Martin counting ties back to his ille- hie in Seattle, and Sam-poor Sam but why prolong our grief by dwelling on impossibilities?
 No, you're headed wrong, your hon. or. You are on the unpopular side of the game. People are changing in these past ten years, and you have played the old tune on one string so long you can't recognize real har- mony.
 We would advise you to get new issue; chewing the same old rag so long has reduced it to unrecognizable pulp, and if ten years fighting has cost you so many thousand dollars, you're mighty poor captain if you don't trim ship. The people are tired of the fight, and so are we. We would like to go to work in the morning with the calm consciousness that we will have 2 roof over our heads at even- tide.
 Why not quit this unpopular fight on our industries? All we want is to be let alone to pursue our peaceful av- ocations according to the dictates of our conscience. You have dwelt too much in the past, your honor, and your ideas have been stored with moth balls too long. They have quit fighting capital outside five years ago, and almost any old industry is offer ed a prize package now to locate in a community. And 8 $200,000 com pany-wow! Even the Seattle cham Der of Commerce would sit up nights planning how to land a thing like that. Take a trip outside, get that mind that has been doing business at the old stand renovated by contact with real live issues, and we'll bet dollar against one of your honer's prescriptions that you'll come back to the little old town and work nights repairing the damage you've done.
 Honest, MT. Mayor, we'd be tick.ed to death to see you stop bouting and skin off those old ideas and join us in making Valdez the greatest min ing center on the coast.

TAKE CARE OF THE COWS

Sudan grass, hay and corn stalks make mighty poor feed for the milk COW. If you want plenty of milk give the COW plenty of milk producing feeds, clover or alfalfa hay or cow pea hay, or little cotton seed meal, or little wheat bran and some ground corn. If the old COW is not worth such feed, pile in more corn, dry her up and sell her to the butcher. Give her a dry shed for cold, rainy days and a kind word and she will pay in good milk. Then get another COW, and an other.

Arkansas gets lon the water wag- on" on Janury 1, 1916 and it will be glorious step in advance. If every loyal citizen will demand the rigid enforcement of the law it will be en- forced.

He says the average cash price of corn in Arkansas is S6 cents while the average "time price" is Sl.O9; flour $1.30 and $1.70; oats 90 cents and "A cents; molasses 30 cents and 63 cents; sugar 71a cents and 10 cents.
