Everybody in this section knows how
unmeasurably better off the average
citizen is because of the curtailment
Of the liquor traffic since the abolition
Of the dispensary in Yorkville. Thous-
ands who did not realize such thing
before, have come to realize that abb
stension from liquor is the surest guar
antee Of responsibility. The whisky
regime can only come back at the
behest of those who will suffer most
harm from it.

Celebration Was A Great Success From Nearly Every
 Point of View

From nearly every point of view the celebration which was held in Fairbanks the metropolis of Interior Alaska. was as great if not greater success than in any previous year since Barnette first hoisted his pennant ou the banks of Cinema Slough.
 The ceremonies commenced on July with tho laying of the corner stone of the Tanana Agricultural College and School of Mines. All the local lodges and fraternal societies were represented. A special train was run for the occasion and several hundred persons attended the ceremonies. The local masonic lodge had charge of the dedication serv- ices and MT. Wickersham made a fine address, telling of his efforts in behalf of the bill, which was we'll received. (The address is too long to print here, but can be found in full in the Alaska Citizen of July 5th.
 The regular Fourth of July exercises were held on the Fifth this year on account of the Fourth falling on Sun day.
 At 9:45 the Grafton of the day was gwen by Rev. H. 1T. Lumpkin. The in vocation followed by Rev. G. G. Bruce and the Historic Document, the Declara- ton of Independence was read by James Moore Jnr., President of the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden North.

Exposition Park to witness the contest between the Fort Gibbon and Fairbanks baseball teams, the crowds assembled on Front Street to witness the athletics that were to be held there.
 The athletic exercises were poorly contested. As a whole it was about the tamest affair of its kind that has ever taken place in the Panama. However bright and clever the youth of Fairbanks may be at society dances, tango wabbies and turkey trots, they are about the poorest lot of athletes that ever gather ed to celebrate the Independence of America.
 Fred Pauli. as usual, won the principal prizes without half trying. Several oth- CT young men who tried to jump made the spectators on the grandstand roar with laughter at the poor showing that they made. With the exception of the vaulting by Fred Woods and the beau tlful music rendered by the Fort Gibbon band the sports on the fifth on Front Street were very uninteresting. Sub stantial prizes were put up for the Win ners but there seemed to be dearth of athletes.
 On July 6th the childrens sports were keenly contested, there being plenty of entries. and they made far better showing than the adults.

Speaking of politics, there has been considerable guess work going on as to who would be the n ext candidates on the respective tickets. From sources that are considered reliable it is learned that the name of Cecil Clegg, the Fair banks attorney, has been considered at length. He is looked upon as an able man and would no dou bt receive the united support of the Republicans as we'll as those who are not Republic ans.
 It is said that when the horsewhip- ping season arrives Gordon intends to wear his kits for the occasion.
 It would probably be advisable for the managers of those busrness houses that have been passing complimentary greetings to one another of late to attend the Christian Science lecture at the Auditorium on Tuesday uight.
