Tolovana Country
 Is Short Of Cats

Mice and other small rodents are very long in the Toloyana coun- try. but cats are short and that is the reason Teddy Anderson has been busy for the past few days inquir- ing of his friends where loose speci- mems of the feline family might be appropriated. He was advised to advertise for cats but stated that while he is ready to give from $1 to $5 per head for same, according to size, pedigree, etc, he is afraid that he might be dragged back here and charged with stealing some body's particular pet. However, Teddy stands ready to pay the money and take the cat if he can be convinced that it carries with it a clear title from it's owner.

Wireless Plant Is
 Ready For Business

According to word sent in to Fair banks by J. $. Rosburg, who ar rived at Olnes yesterday from the Tolovana diggings, the new wireless plant which is being put in there by Falcon Joslin is nearly in shape and ready to do business. The pole has already been put up and the small wires or antennae are spread for several hundred feet on all sides of 1t. The operating house, too, is almost completed
 MT Joslin told MT Rosburg that he found the radio outfit in excel lent condition when he reached the Tolovana. It needed very little re pairing, and as consequence it was possible to install it with but very little trouble.
 MT Joslin stated Saturday that he eX- pected to be able to communicate with Fairbanks some time within the next ten days, and probably be fore next Sunday.
 MT Joslin was preparing to get away for Fairbanks when MT. Ros- burg left the diggings, and the rail road man will probably get in to- day or tomorrow.

Indians Tuning
 to Farming Now

The natives of the Panama valley seem to have just been apprised Of the fact that under the United States land laws, they may make applca- ton for 160 acres of land anywhere in the public domain. Either that. or they are afraid of the encroach ments of the white man. who they see day by day making homes in the Interior, for a number of appli- cations for land have been received this month in the land office. Prior to the first of this month there had been but two applications. July 21, 1914. Chief Thomas. 16o acres on Tatlanika river
 May 24, 1915. Luke Thomas 160 acres on Panama river. two miles below mouth of Wood river.
 Aug. 12. 1915. John Thomas. 16o acres on Panama river. ne-quarter mile above mouth of Wood river.
 Aug. 13. 1915. Paul Williams. 160 acres on Yukon river. Three miles above Panama.
 Aug. 13. 1915 Tom Nicolai 160 acres on Yukon river. Three miles from Panama.
 These allotments or Indian home steads," as they are called by some shall be deemed the homestead of the allotee and his heirs, according to the land law. They are not tax able. nor is the allotee given patent for them.

PROTECT THE TAXPAYER.

Now that the time has expired iu the legislative act making it possi- ble for the city councils of incorpo- rated towns in the Territory to make such tax upon itinerant merchants as they may deem fit. il might not be out of place to say a few last words upon that subject
 Every part of Alaska has been imposed upon in the past by the man who had few dollars 10 invest man who had a few dollars to in coming in competition with the lesiti- vest. without the payment of a tax. mate merchant with the firms who have to keep up the municipalities,
 The merchant never has had the protection to which he is entitled by virtue of paying a tax upon all goods sold in his community. for the fly-by-nights would bring in stock on an early boat and dispose of it by the cheapest method, not even hiring an express wagon to make  his deliveries. and this first ship ment would be followed by others during the open season and up to the time when assessments are be ing levied. and then he would take a boat for the Outside. and nothing more would be seen of him until the next spring when the operation would be repeated.
 The resident merchants are com- pelled 10 pay tax upon all goods in stock on the fifteenth of October This date is fixed upon for the req son that on that date their stock is larger than at any other time of inc year, These goods must be dis posed of before the same date Of the succeeding year, else they will be compelled to pay the second time upon the same goods,
 Not so with the itinerant mer chant. He does not have to carry his stock over from year to year and up to the present time has been practically exempt from the payment of any tax whatsoever
 At the last meeting of the city
 neil one of the gentlemen Whe has been growing fat financially from his trade in Alaska for the past several years presented hiz plea to that body, and thought thai 2 tax of about $2O per month would be just about the right figure.
 The merchants. however. take an altogether different view regardine a sum which would be equitable and just to all parties. They are of the opinion that $500 per annum would not be out of the way one bit, and cite Dawson as an example
 The matter is now in the hands of the city fathers, and il is hoped that their ordinance covering the matter will place the sum at the figure suggested by the resident merchants.

CORRESPONDENCE
A PUBLIC DANGER.

l see it announced in the newspa- pers that the recently appointed superintendent of roads, MT. Som mers, is about to make trip to distant parts for inspectional pur- poses.
 There is an old saying that "char- invite MT. Sommers to pay a visit to point on the government trail at 3rd avenue, Graehl, There he will find a grave menace to the public safety, veritable death trap. It was said in former times that a road was not mended until a bishop was killed owing to it's faulty con dition.
 How is it that we have this dan stant and numerous complaints are heard about? When the bridge be- low this dangerous point last went out Mr Zug, (who built all the roads and trails in the Panama club let the contract for the construction of the bridge to selfish old botch of a carpenter on the condition that a cabin which was in the way by the side of the slough and made the place highly dangerous at the point have referred to should be removed-if not that the bridge should be constructed over the slough oppo- site Forty Mile avenue, The con tractor put up the bridge in the old place. but never removed the vacant old cabin because it belonged to himself and he hoped to make a few miserable dollars out of it, Now, MT. Sommers, it is up to you to look after this danger and have it remedied before some person or persons are killed one of these dark nights.

Rifle Club Holds
 Its Annual Shoot

Wanted-A new trophy. That will day be inserted in the local papers by the Panama Rifle club if some kind soul does not come forward with a prize of some kind, by req son of the fact that both of the available trophys were won flor keeps" at the shoot held yesterday at the Birch hill range. Dr. M. F. Hall was the winner of the Sale tro- phy with a score of l31 out of a the Mendham trophy with a score of 6S out of a possible 75.
 The trophies were both donated to the club several years ago under the condition that they would each have to be won twice by one marks man before becoming his individual prize. The Sale trophy was won by Sam Fedderson in 1911; by L. M. Drury in 1912; by F. T. Wolcott in 1913 and by Dr. Hall in 1914. By winning this shoot, Dr. Hall there fore becomes the owner of the trophy
 As Mr Erwin won the Mendham trophy at last years shoot, he be- comes it's owner by winning it again this year. I: was won by Fedderson in 1911; by R. D. Morgan in 1912 and by J. G. Morrow in 1913.
 The shoot yesterday for the Sale trophy was over the 200, 300 and 500 yard ranges, each contestant being allowed ten shots over each range. The resultant score was Hall, 131; Waite, 129; Drury, 124; Erwin, 124; Morrow. IF; Wood 1O4.
 The Mendham trophy shoot was over the 300, 800 and 600 yard ranges, each marksman being allowed five shots. The score was: Erwin, 68; Hall, 67; Drury, 65; Morrow, GA; Waite, 62; Wood. 57
 Next Sunday the rifle club will hold a shoot for the National Rifle Association medal.

WANTED TO QUIT.

On last Wednesday Judge Jen- nings. of Juneau, sustained the de murrer filed by Attorney Cobb to the suit started by the legislators of the First division, wherein they sought to restrain the territorial treasurer from paying any money for road work in any division of the territory except the First.
 Judge Jennings decision is only what was to be expected, but the lawmakers of the First bit off more than they could chew and were only too glad to have someone help them let go. The only thing to be mar veled at is that the suit was not withdrawn before it came to de cison, for that was what they were contemplating doing.
 After the legislature had appor- toned the fund to the four divisions as per federal decisions, Col. Rich aldson told them that the road com mission would eXpend the sum of s30,000, together with their portion of the reserve fund which would amount to about $13,000, upon the roads of that division, but after the suit was brought it naturally tied up their money the same as that of the other three divisions, and then Col Richardson notified them that without the fund which they intend ed to potlatch with that of the gov ernment in the building of the roads, he did not feel at liberty to proceed with the work. In other words. they had tied up their own money, the territory, and not being able to . carry out their part of the agree ment he did not feel justified in pro ceeding with his part of it.

FIELD DAY |S
 BEING PLANNED

Preparations fer a girls field day are now going forward rapidly. ac- cording to a member of the athletics committee ol the Woman's Civic club of Fairbanks, and it is expected that the girls, who have been train ing on the apparatus at the play grounds, will be able to give a good account of themselves when it is held. The exact date of the event has not yet been decided upon, but it is expected that it will take place sometime during the first days Of September, if possible, during the Panama Valley fair.
 The ladies have asked the park commission if the bleachers at the east end of the grand stand at the park, cannot be turned around in order that they may face the play ground. This plan has been agreed to by the pack commission, and the work of turning the bleaChers around will accordingly be started today. Those who go to see the girls work ing al their athletic sports may therefore view the meet from a good point of vantage

BRYAN says that Roosevelt is d "swaggering statesman" Is that the worst that can be said about him?
 MIR ROOSEVELT says he will support any good Republican, but perhaps his definition of good Re publican resembles the plainsman' of good Indian.
 LA PETITE JOURNAL, the Paris newspaper, is reported to have been sold by the Letellier family to a syndicate for the sum of $4,00O,000. The News Miner deal did not in volve quite that sum.
 MAYOR JOHN PURROY MITCH FL was arrested recently at At lantic City for exceeding the speed limit. Now it is plain why Bobby Sheldon paid his ten with a smile on his face.
 TAX levies it's toll in strange ways. Why did the last legislature place tax of $lO on a lawyer, and $50 on scavenger? A bonus of $50 would be more reasonable for his "odorous" labor.
 ALTON B. PARKER predicts that President Wilson will be renominated and reelected by a tremendous ma jority. Is it possible that Bryan will allow it after that one-term pledge at the Baltimore convention?

AMERICANS NOT WANTED.

From the action of the road com mission. or at least the man who is to have charge of the work, it would seem that American citizens are not wanted, and that Japs have the right of way when it comes to the giving out of employment on the new Tolo- Vana trail which is to be construct ed by the government with the money raised by private citizens.
 The only reason given for this dis crimination is that a Jap ahad been em- work, and that having given good satisfaction there was no reason for not hiring him for the rest of the season on the construction of the trail
 The argument is not sane from the fact that they had no right in the first place to give employment on public works to any Asiatic to the exclusion of the old timers of the camp, and after having made the error there was no excuse for making the same one over again
 Americans are good enough people to undertake any work with which the government has anything to do, and they should have a chance, at least, but this privilege was not ac- corded them.
 It is not likely that the men who contributed to make up the fund will bear the commission out in their actions, and were they permit ted to spend their own money, as they should have done, it is safe to say that those who spend their money here and are trying to make living so they might have more money to spend would have been the ones selected for the work.
 Just because a man can get more personal service out of Jap than he can out of a white man is not sufficient cause for spending the peoples money for that personal service It is the worth of the money subscribed put into roads and not personal service" that the people are entitled to-
