Government Will
 Not Use Our Spuds

The Fairbanks Commercial club has failed in it's effort to get the government military posts and sta tions of the interior to use Alaska grown vegetables, particularly pc tatoes, having received a wire to the effect that the spuds for next winter have already been ordered from the Outside The wire, how ever, holds out hopes for another year. The wires exchanged on the subject between the club and Capt. Samuel B. Mcintyre, the command ant at Fort Gibbon, are as follows: Fairbanks, Alaska, July 26. 1916. Captain Mcintyre, Commanding of ficer, Fort Gibbon, Alaska.
 Have communication from depot quartermaster, Seattle. advising Us to take up the matter of supplying native vegetables to posts in Interi. of the various divisions. Native po- tatoes used exclusively by residents of Fairbanks. Farmers agree to furnish best hillside potatoes in quantities not to exceed three cents per pound; carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips cabbage at corresponding prices. Can you not purchase the coming years supply from local farmers?

The steamer Reliance. of the A Y. N Co.,, and the gasoline boat Dan sailed from Fairbanks shortly after F o'clock Saturday night with ap- proximately 225 people aboard, all bound for Nenana. The Dan was pushing a barge rigged up so that it would accommodate large num- Der and it was filled to it's capacity. There was, however, no room for dancing. as had been expected, as the barge was not large enough.
 The excursion was first adver. tised early in the week. It was originally expected that the Reli ance and a larger barge would be taken, but marine regulations pre- portation company could not take the barge. Consequently she had only her allowed complement of 95 passengers when she pulled away from the dock.
 The excursion was under the man. agerlent of Louis Klopsch and Dave Courtemanche. who engaged the two boats for the occasion.
 Most of the people who went on the excursion were merely out for a days outing. There were others, however who went down to Nenana 10 investigate business possibilities, and still others who went for the purpose of picking out a lot they intend to bid on when the sale of lots at the new railroad town starts. 4 large number of people from the creeks went on the excursion, Chat anika being particularly well rep resented.

Senate Sees n Light

THERE has been q change Of sentiment so

probable that the nomination of Louis D.

Supreme Court, will be confirmed There are
times when even Senator, having placed his
ear to the ground. can distinguish his masters
voice.
The opposition to Mr.. Brandeis is dwind-
ling because people coming to understand
the testimony offered in opposition to his con-
firmation, as we'll as the inspiration OF that
testimony. When men of the character and
attainments Of DR.. Charles W. Eliot presi-

the rejection of Mr.. Brandeis by the Senate
would be grave mistake for the whole

One curious thing about the opposition
is mat none OF the opponents believe in all
OF it. Neither Senator Cummins nor Senator

the liquor iniQuity. AS TO one charge which
