TENTTLs as meat substitute" used to
- be considered an economical food, and.
perhaps, were somewhat dcspised for that
season This small legume however. has
now come 20 be quite luxury, for II has
more than trebled in price since the out
break OF tho war. Most OF the lentlls which
we consume In this country are raised In
Egypt, and naturally Imports from that
section OF the globe have been considerably
reduced Consequently. the supply OF lcntis
is slowly diminishing and unless we can
succeed In growing lentils In the warmer
sections OF the United States this food may
come to be in tho same class as mushrooms
and truffies
For the present, however, Il is still possl-
BILE TO buy tho same nutritious lentils. Even
at tho higher price they are worth buying
Lentils contain about thirty por cent OF pro-
teln, fifty per cent OF starch and very little
waste. which makes them even more nutri-
tious than dried beans, which contain 20
per cent OF protein. Lcntils can be cooked
like beans for pureo, or they may bo baked

con or supper.

MRS. SADLER OPENS
 SOCIALIST CAMPAIGN
 AT THE MOOSE HALL

The Socialist campaign was open ed on Gastineau Channel last night when Mrs. Kate Sadler spoke at Moose Hall. She was introduced to her first Juneau audience by Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis, the Socialist nominee for Delegate to Congress-. Mrs. Lewis took a slap at Senator Suzer for failing to discuss her can. diiacy for Delegate to Congress as well as those of himself and James Wickersham.
 Mrs. Sadler spoke for two hours on the subject reform or revolu. tion" She attacked the candidates of both President Wilson and Can didate Hughes. She said that all the great increased wealth of the United States under the administration very little of it had gone to the workers. She said Hughes protessed great in. terest in the rights of American cit izens in foreign countries, but had nothing to propose for protection of American woriingmen at home. She attacked Hughes for disregarding the rights of the working classes in his Supreme Court decisions.

 The whaler Star II arrived at Ea- gle Harbor last Tuesday night and the whaler Starr III yesterday morn ing. All of the vessels of the fleet of the United States Whaling Com pany have now reached their win ter quarters.
 Whales Are Scarce
 Gunner Edward Jorgensen and Assistant Gunner Nils Jorgensen of the Star l had prosperous season in the North but one hardly up to the average. The whales were scarce and small and the most val uable of the species hard to find. About 5000 barrels of oil were ob- tained as a result of the opera tion of the three Stars ini the North the past summer This is about 2,OOO barrels under the average year

William EdeS Returns from An Inspection Tour Over the New
 Route
ROAD WILL OPEN ALASKA
Interior Agricultural Lands Tapped and a New
 Coal Field WilI
 Open

William c. Edcs, chairman of the
 Alaskan Engineering Commission re
 gently returned to Seward from
 Fairbanks and other points in the
 Interior of Alaska, where he in
 spected the work on the railroad now being prosecuted under the i'm
 mediate supervision of Thomas Riggs. Jr., one of the members of the commission.
 Construction Base
 Clearing and grading of the right of way from Fairbanks south to Nenane is well under way. A con- struction base has been established at Nenana and contracts have been let for clearing and grading from this point northward to Fairbanks, and south to the Nenana coal fields and to Broad Pass. Over 800 men are employed in the erection of living quarters for employees at Nenana. construction of warehouses and material yerds. and preparing for greater work next year A wa son road is being built along the right of way so that material and supplies can be hauled Co the sta ton men,
 Possibilities at Nenana
 Nenana is situated at the conflu- ence Of the Nenana with the Tan ana River, and is in the heart Of some Of the best agricultural land in the Panama valley. It is located 57 miles southwest from Fairbanks and 90 miles north from the Ne. mana coal fields A townsite has been surveyed by the government and 35O lots were recently sold at public auction, which brought over $132.OOO. Several business houses, including general stores, restaurants, hotels. etc, are doing business there and have already started the con struction of permanent buildings The population at the present time is approximately 500 people. \ draw bridge will be constructed across the Panama at this point which will cost in the neighborhood of S5OOOOO. Coal bunkers will be erected for the handling of the coal for the use of the steamboats operating on the Panama and Inter- for rivers and for local consumption.
 To Open Coal Fields
 The commission expects to reach he Nenana coal field with rail some time in the late fall of 1917 t is estimated that there is now ! market in the interior for 25,- 100 tons of coal annually. The op- ,ning of this coal field will give an impetus to the development of the ow grade placer properties in the interior of Alaska.
 Agricultural Development
 The agricultural lands tributary O the railroad are also being rap dly located and developed. Agri- .ultural development in the Panama Ialley is further advanced than on he coast, and the farmers are now nearly all of the yeget- bles consumed in the interior; and 'ery little of the perishable food applies are being imported. The .oyernment expects, by encourag- ng the development of the agricul- ural lands in Alaska, that the Ter itory will some day be self-support- ng; thus avoiding the economic loss ue to the importation of foodstuffs 8 at present.

A VOICE FROM THE WEST.

THAT the Nonpartisan League is noticed
nationally is evidenced from the following edit.
orial appearing in a recent issue of the Sacra-
mento (Cal.) Daily Star, a copy of which was
forwarded to the Courant:
A still another point in the great West has
the status quo been shocked. In North Dakota,
the Farmers Nonpartisan-League. has captured
the legislature. The objects of the league are
state owned elevators, marketing of produce,
especially grains, directly from the farmer to
the miller. and consequently, elimination of
speculation in food stuffs. In short, the North
Dakota farmer can now knock out the middle
man and the gambler, the producer getting the
benefit of high prices.
There is no reason on earthwhy the farm
ers of every state should not do things for their
own benefit through similar non partisan
actions at the polls. So long as farmers are
hide bound party men, they are plucked, and it
makes no difference what party is in power.
This needs no demonstration. If the North Da-
kota farmers now demonstrate that they'll stick
together. we'll surely see their movement
spread throughout the country. which will be a
good thing"

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.".

WHEN last weeks Nonpartisan Leader came
oot as opposed to the Equity packing plant, it
created a situation that is both embarrassing and
unfortunate.
While it is admitted that the League is
committed to state owned packing Fplants, ter.
minal elevators, flour mills, ETC., it has been
known for months that the Equity had under
construction a terminal elevator in St. Paul,
Articles of incorporation for the Equity Pack
ing Plant at Fargo were filed some time ago
and, according to reports, more than $4OO,OOO in
stock has already been subscribed.
1t was generally supposed that both these
enterprises had the sanction of the league-in
fact they were promoted almost exclusively by
league members
While the Leader has not yet committed it.
self on the terminal elevator proposition, it is
reasonable to presume that it will oppose this
venture for the same reason that it is opposing
the Equity packing plant.
A great deal of confusion has resulted from
the Leaders opposition to to the Equity plant.
League members hardly know where they are
at and stock selling has taken a sudden slump.
If the league is to oppose these Equity en-
terprises, it is unfortunate that no understand.
ing was arrived at before the projects had pro.
ceeded to almost a reality.
Equity members, nearly all of whom are
ardent league members, will naturally feel
fairs.
1t is to be hoped that the perplexing dilem,
ma may be worked out without any serious
breach between the Equity and the League, we
should, and always have, worked hand in hand

THAT man Froggs Smith is an odd rooster

THAT man Froggs Smith is an odd rooster
to say the least. In the primary campaign he
was saying all the nice things possible about
the Eq uity, while his attitude toward the Non
partisan League was not of so complimentary
a nature. Now he has thrown his editorial
hivver into reverse and is boosting the League
(which does not need his boosting) and ham
mering away at the Equity-which likewise
does not need his boosting. But Froggy will
croak about something or other. and the Equity
can survive his croaks very nicely.

cognomen.
The result of the recent election speaks for
itself. Some of those defeated are members of
the Nonpartisan League and also stockholders
in the Courant. Some of their victorious ppon-
ents were neither league members nor Cour-
ant stockholders. Editorially the Courant did
not oppose nor support a single candidate for
county office by one word or utterance, and we
challenge Matt to prove otherwise.
The league did not endorse a single candi-
date. And if it had, its entire ticket could
have been elected from top to Matt
knows full we'll, when he stops to .analysei.t the
vote on the legislative ticket.
In view of these admitted facts, how can the
Herald man have the monumental gall to present
such absurdities, unless he, like a certain fur
bearing animal, desires to attract attention.. by
merely creating a stink.
