number Thatcher and Kalloch, won
derful public speakers, could make
better speeches than he. Prentis and
Reynolds and Bowes could outwrite
him. Skiff, as manager, had no
equal then and has had no equal
since. Some of the printers could no
doubt best him in some branch of the
typographical art But, sooner or
later, every man in the lot was forced
to come to Harris for something or
other of prime Importance. He was
walking cyclopedia of exact knowl-
edge. He could outspell everybody
except Chancellor Snow. He knew
history and theology better than most
teachers and preachers. He could
pass better examination in anatomy
than most of the doctors He was a
fine farmer AMI ready money-maker.
He corrected more legal briefs than all
other Kansas printers com bined, and
If the lawyers could always have had
the benefit of his opinion on their pro-
auctions thousands of them would
have Jared better in the courts.
But here is what 1 am CHIEFLY aim
ing at: Ed Harris. with all his talent
and with all his exacting responsible
ties, never lacked the time and APP
parently the disposition to cay atten-
ton to me and the other boys about
the establishment or in the town. AL
ways modest and retiring, he did not
thrust his opinions on US or cram his
advice down our Threats. But if we
were receptive we got what We needed
if he could possibly give it. To do
honestly his share of the worlds work
and to help others do theirs was the
answering effort of his life. To the
end of my memory the work of this
gentle man will command my deepest
love and my greatest respect.

TRIBUTE TO HARRIS
C. S. GIeed Writes OF Acquaintance
With Late Printer.

Gleed well-known Topekan
and Kansan, has written a beautiful
tribute to the late E. P. Harris.
In telling of his acquaintance with
Mr. Harris. he says;
I first knew Mr.. Harris Wnen ne
was a man of middle age and l was a
bow. We lived in Lawrence. He was
foreman of the news room of the
Morning Journal. and L was doing
beginners work as countlng-room
clerk and reporter: He was already
a man of ripe experience while l knew
little of snything excepting home and
school He was an exceedingly busy
night worker, supervising the dolnSs
of as remarkable a lot OF Workmen as
7 have ever known. They were print
ers. pressmen and proofreaders, doing
the usual duties IN their several lines
But they were more than printers,
nressmen and proofreaderS. They had
been soldiers, army Officers, off1ce-
holders, town builders, miners, capt.
talists and adventures. They were
such a vigorous lot that no weakling
could endure their society. They had
hard-boiled opinions on all subjects
and they had all the words known in
the United States with which to give
their opinions expression.
OF this sturdy group Mr.. Harris
was the center. Downstairs were the
proprietors, T. Dwight Thatcher, Mil
ton W. Reynolds and the Rev. Isaac
S. Kalloch, afterwards mayor of San
Francisco. The most brilliant writer
on the force was Noble L. Prentis,
while the business artist of the whole
establishment was Fred Skiff, now DR..
Frederick j. V. Skiff, director of the
Field museum and the greatest expo
sition manager in the world as wit
ness his success with the expositions
of Chicago, st. Louis and San Fran
cisco. George w. Bowes, gentleman
and scholar. was in charge of the job
printing department, at that time the
largest in the state.
Among all these people and many
others to whom 1 have not attempted
to refer Ed. Harris could not really
be declared second to any one of the

HEAP BIG JAG is
INDIAN LUXURY
OFF BEAN JUICE

Pierre, S. D., Oct. THE elimina-
ton of the en1ivening Mexican Peyota
bean from the diet of the South
Dakota reservation Indians is the mis-
sion of Earl B. Putt, a chemist, who
left for Washington today to obtain
anti-bean legislation. The bean is
supposedly a substitute for booze,
which, as booze is barred from the
Indians.
A brew from the bean causes the
Indians to grow utterly Indifferent to
bulldogs and to see pink elephants
with wings. Putt doesn't know
whether to tackle the job under the
Harrison drug law or the Indian anti
firewater regulations.

The suggestion of the new in- dustries committee of the cham Der of commerce that an effort be made ,o secure lowering of the existing freight rates to the outside for the purpose ot encour- aging and assisting in the devel- opment of growing industries, is unquestionably one of the best that has so far emanated from the chamber and should receive the support of every shipper on the panies have already made certain concessions. along this line in the case of mineral ore shipments. We understand the rebate grant cd is not much but 1t is obvious that it is a great assistance to the local producers in their efforts to develop their properties. through enabling them to secure a better profit in the outside markets.
 Notably in the case of anti mony shipments from the Fair banks section the lowering of freight rates has given a wonder fui impetus to the industry. The same encouragement should also be extended to all other indus

tries which give promise ot ult- mately developing into something worth while. As MT. Lomen suggested in the course of his dis oussion the shipping companies hould reduce their rates on the products of growing industries 10 the degree that local shippers will be enabled to secure & profit at least comparable with those ot shippers from more favored points. In addition to ores, the rates should be reduced on every other commodity shipped from this section of the territory. Fish and fish products should be in- cluded, thereby permitting the early development of what IS un- ,nnestionably one of the most inn portant of the future industries of this section and also on ship ,nents of reindeer meat. At the present time the profitable pack ;ng of salt fish is almost out of the question owing to the prohi- bitive freight rates.
 Those engaged in the salting and packing of salmon and herring for the outside markets are mak- ing a profit largely because of the fact that the product from this section commands a substantially higher price, owing to superior quality. Eliminate this factor and the industry could not exist under present day conditions, solely because of the excessive freight costs. The fish packed of this section is under the necessity of paying freight charges almost double those of any other industry, first on the large quantities of salt .mployeo in the packing process and, second, on the prepared pro duet in transporting it to market. Every indication points to the fish packing industry as one of the greatest possibilities of this section ot Alaska. One need not be either prophet or seer to real izc that Nome will one day be famed for its fish products more than its mineral production or to glimpse in the future the day when the fisheries of Bering sea will be among the chief sources of wealth production of the dis trict. It is an industry of mag nihcent prospects but it cannot hope to gain a foothold or ap- proximate the ultimate of the in herent possibilities without de- cided lessening of the excessive : costs entailed in preparing and ! thing oyer one half of which goes directly to the transportation companies.
 The reindeer industry also can not hope to reach a profitable stage of commercial development ) until reduction of transporta- ton charges enables the shippers Of reindeer meat to place their product on the market at a price : comparable with beef and lesser : priced meat foods. With favor able reduction of the freight : charges on the products of these ? great potential industries, they will speedily become profitable : but not before. The suggestion
